2.2 Installing on a Windows NT System
2.3 Installing on a UnixWare System
2.4 Installing on a Solaris System

2.1 Introduction

This chapter lists procedures for installing the AG ISDN software under:

· Windows NT 4.0

· UnixWare 2.1.x or UnixWare 7

You can install AG ISDN software in any of the following ways:

2.2 Installing on a Windows NT System

This procedure describes how to install the AG ISDN board driver software for Windows NT 4.0. This procedure is applicable if you wish to install from:

You can also use the Natural Access setup program to install this package from the CD-ROM. To learn how to install the software this way, refer to the booklet that comes with the CD-ROM for installation instructions.

Refer to readme_isdn.txt for a complete list of the files installed with AG ISDN, and for a list of important notices, documentation errata, and changes from previous releases. This file can be found in the Natural MicroSystems AG-ISDN group under Programs in the Start menu.

Note: Before installing AG ISDN, ensure that any earlier installation of AG ISDN has been removed as described in Section 5.2.

  1. Log on as a member of the Administrators group.

  2. Start the AG ISDN setup program:

    - If you are installing from the CD-ROM using the AG ISDN setup program, use the Windows Explorer to navigate to the
    \ag-isdn\disk1\ directory on the CD-ROM, and start setup.exe.

    - If you are installing from a package downloaded from the NMS web site, "unzip" the package into a directory. Navigate to the directory, and start setup.exe.

    The setup program starts.

  3. Answer the prompts as they appear.

    The setup program asks you to choose:

    - A base directory to install the software into.

    The AG ISDN software will be installed in subdirectories in the base directory you choose.

    - The type of installation (typical or run-time).

    The following table describes each option:
    If you select...

    		 The setup program...

    Custom

    		 Installs the minimum components required for runtime only. Intended for target systems -- does not install development files.

    Typical

    		 Installs the runtime software, plus the development environment. Recommended for most users.

    Custom

    		 Asks you to choose the software components to install. Recommended for advanced users only.

    - A package to install (Asia, Europe, U.S., or ECMA-QSIG).

    The following table shows which variants are installed with which packages:
    Package

    		 Variants1

    Asia

    		 · NTT INS 1500

    · Australian Telecom 1

    · Korea

    · Hong Kong

    Europe

    		 · ETSI

    · France Telecom VN6

    USA

    · AT&T 5ESS10

    · Northern Telecom DMS 100

    · U.S. National ISDN 2

    Q.SIG

    		 · Q.SIG

    For more information about variants, see Appendix A.

    If you choose a non-U.S.A. package, you are also asked to choose:

    - The countries where the application will run.

    The setup program uses this information to determine which parameter files to install.

    - The default country, if more than one country is selected.

    The AG ISDN product is parameterized for the default country (these parameters are applicable only if you will be using AG ISDN in the NCC configuration).

  4. When the installation completes, read the readme_isdn.txt file installed with the AG ISDN software.

    This file contains important information on the installed files and on how to use the software. It can be found in the Natural MicroSystems AG-ISDN group under Programs in the Start menu.

  5. When you have finished installing AG ISDN, edit the AG configuration file, as described in Chapter 3.

2.3 Installing on a UnixWare System

This procedure describes how to install the AG ISDN software for UnixWare 2.1.x or UnixWare 7. This procedure is applicable if you wish to install from:

You can also use the Natural Access installation script to install this package from the CD-ROM. To learn how to install the software this way, refer to the booklet that comes with the CD-ROM for installation instructions.

Refer to readme_isdn.txt for a complete list of the files installed with AG ISDN, and for a list of important notices, documentation errata, and changes from previous releases. This file can be found in /opt/nms/doc.

  1. If you are installing over earlier versions of AG ISDN, remove the earlier version before you install the new software.

    See Section 5.3 to learn how to remove driver software from your system.

  2. Access a command prompt, and log in as root.

  3. If you are installing from the Natural Access CD-ROM:

    1. Insert the Natural Access CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

      

    2. Start a new terminal session.
      

      

    3. If the CD-ROM does not have a mount point directory, create this directory.
      

      

    4. Make sure you are not in the mount point directory. Then enter the following to mount the CD-ROM:
      

      
 mount -F cdfs -r /dev/CD-ROM/devicename mountpoint
      

 ...where devicename is the device name of the CD-ROM, and mountpoint is the mount point directory. For example, for UnixWare 2.1.x, you might enter:
      

 mount -F cdfs -r /dev/CD-ROM/c1b0t3l0 /CD-ROM_1
      

 For UnixWare 7, you might enter:
      

 mount -F cdfs -r /dev/CD-ROM/CD-ROM1 /CD-ROM_1
      

    


  4. Enter this command to invoke the pkgadd utility:
    

pkgadd -d mountpoint
    

pkgadd starts up, and displays a list of software packages available for installation.
    


  5. Select the ag-isdn software package, and press Enter.
    


  6. Answer the prompts as they appear.
    

The installation script asks you to choose:
    

-	 The type of installation (typical or run-time).
    

 The following table describes each option:

If you choose a non-U.S.A. package, you are also asked to choose:
    

-	 The countries where the application will run. The installation script uses this information to determine which parameter files to install.
    

-	 The default country, if more than one country is selected.
    

 The AG ISDN product is parameterized for the default country (these parameters are applicable only if you will be using AG ISDN in the NCC configuration).
    

The installation script also asks what to do if it encounters AG ISDN files already installed on your system: overwrite all files, overwrite only older files than the ones being installed, or ask for each file.
    


  7. When the installation completes, read /opt/nms/doc/readme_isdn.txt installed with AG ISDN. This file contains important information on the installed files and on how to use the software.
    


  8. When you have finished installing AG ISDN, edit the AG configuration file, as described in Chapter 3.
    


  9. To unmount the CD-ROM, enter: umount mountpoint
