HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
 
This section describes the hardware and software needed
to run AnyNet/2.
 
 
Hardware Requirements
 
AnyNet/2 requires the following system hardware at a
minimum:
 
o   386SX, or compatible, processor
 
o   8 MB RAM (12 MB recommended)
 
o   Fixed disk drive space:
 
    -   For SNA over TCP/IP, 2.1 MB of fixed disk drive
        space is required for the configuration and
        program product files.
 
    -   For AnyNet Sockets, 2.1 MB of fixed disk drive
        space is required for the configuration and
        program product files for the three AnyNet
        Sockets products (Sockets over IPX, Sockets over
        NetBIOS, and Sockets over SNA).
 
    -   The product documentation and Library Reader
        require additional space.  For the exact number
        of bytes, use the "Disk space" button during
        installation to determine whether there is ade-
        quate space on your hard disk to install the
        product documentation and Library Reader.
 
o   3.5-inch diskette drive (high density), if installing
    from diskettes
 
o   The appropriate network adapter:
 
    -   SNA over TCP/IP requires any network adapter sup-
        ported by your release level of TCP/IP.
 
    -   Sockets over IPX requires any network adapter
        supported by NetWare Client for OS/2.
 
    -   Sockets over NetBIOS requires any network adapter
        supported by NetBIOS.
 
    -   Sockets over SNA requires any network adapter
        supported by Communications Manager.
 
 
Software Requirements
 
AnyNet/2 requires the following system software at a
minimum:
 
o   IBM OS/2 Version 2.0 with ServicePak XR06055 or later
 
    For information about obtaining a ServicePak, contact
    IBM at 1-800-237-5511.
 
o   SNA over TCP/IP requires:
 
    -   IBM Communications Manager/2, Version 1.11,
        ServicePak WR06150 with APAR JR08244 (part of
        FixPak CM2AP11)
 
    -   TCP/IP, Version 1.2.1 for OS/2
 
o   Sockets over IPX requires Novell NetWare Client for
    OS/2 Version 2.1 or later, including SPX support.
 
    If the NetWare Client is already installed without
    SPX support, run the NetWare installation utility
    again and specify SPX support for OS/2 sessions.
 
o   Sockets over NetBIOS requires Network Transport
    Services/2 (NTS/2) Version 1.0 or later.
 
    If you already have Communications Manager/2 Version
    1.1 or later, NTS/2 is included with that product.
 
    If you have configured NetBIOS to use the maximum
    datagram size, it is recommended that you use NTS/2
    Version 2.0, with CSD WR07045.
 
o   Sockets over SNA requires:
 
    -   IBM OS/2 Version 2.0 with Service Pak XR06055 or

        later is required for full-duplex conversations)
 
 
PRODUCT COEXISTENCE CONSIDERATIONS
 
The following sections describe coexistance consider-
ations for workstations that run AnyNet/2 with other pro-
ducts.
 
 
Considerations for AnyNet Sockets and MPTS
 
This section describes coexistence considerations for
workstations that run both AnyNet Sockets and IBM OS/2
LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) syslevel 2.60.2, or
earlier.  This level of LAPS shipped with LAN Server 4.0
MPTS.
 
NOTE:  You can verify the LAPS syslevel by referring to the
syslevel.trp file that is located in the \IBMCOM subdi-
rectory.  Issue SYSLEVEL at the OS/2 command prompt to
view the syslevel of LAPS.
 
1.  For AnyNet Sockets to coexist with LAPS syslevel
    2.60.2 in MPTS, do not enable the following MPTS
    configuration options in the MPTS "Configure" window:
 
    o   Socket/MPTS Transport Access
    o   Non-native Networking
 
2.  In addition, be aware of a potential conflict among
    device driver statements for workstations that run
    both AnyNet Sockets and LAPS syslevel 2.60.2 in MPTS.
 
    MPTS ships four device drivers (MPTN.SYS, LIPC.SYS,
    INET.SYS, and IFNDIS.SYS).  The following device
    driver statements are added to the CONFIG.SYS file:
 
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\MPTN.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\LIPC.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\INET.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
 
    When AnyNet Sockets is installed, it comments out the
    four MPTS device driver statements and adds the fol-
    lowing statements to CONFIG.SYS:
 
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\SOCKETS.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFINET.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFOS2.SYS
 
    When you run MPTS to configure an adapter, the four
    MPTS device statements that point to MPTN.SYS,
    LIPC.SYS, INET.SYS, and IFNDIS.SYS are reinstated in
    the CONFIG.SYS file.  This causes a conflict with the
    AnyNet/2 device driver statements.
 
    To avoid this conflict, manually update CONFIG.SYS
    and comment out the four MPTS statements.  Your
    CONFIG.SYS file should include the following state-
    ments:
 
        REM *ANYNET* DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\MPTN.SYS
        REM *ANYNET* DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\LIPC.SYS
        REM *ANYNET* DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\INET.SYS
        REM *ANYNET* DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
 
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\SOCKETS.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFINET.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFOS2.SYS
 
 
Considerations for AnyNet Sockets and IBM TCP/IP for OS/2
 
This section describes coexistence considerations for
workstations that run both AnyNet Sockets and IBM TCP/IP
for OS/2 Version 2.0, or earlier.  Be aware that you can
have a conflict among device driver statements.
 
IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 ships two device drivers (INET.SYS
and IFNDIS.SYS).  The following device driver statements
are added to the CONFIG.SYS file.
 
    DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\INET.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
 
NOTE:  If you have already installed AnyNet Sockets on
this workstation, you may see SNACKETS.SYS instead of
INET.SYS.
 
When AnyNet Sockets is installed, it comments out these
two TCP/IP device driver statements and adds the fol-
lowing statements to CONFIG.SYS:
 
    DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\SOCKETS.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\AFINET.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\IFNDIS.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\AFOS2.SYS
 
When you run LAPS to configure an adapter, the two TCP/IP
device statements that point to INET.SYS and IFNDIS.SYS
are reinstated in the CONFIG.SYS file.  This causes a
conflict with the AnyNet/2 device driver statements.
 
To avoid this conflict, do the following:
 
1.  Copy the device statements that point to AFINET.SYS,
    SOCKETS.SYS, AFOS2.SYS, and IFNDIS.SYS from the
    TCPIP\BIN\ subdirectory to the IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\ sub-
    directory.
 
2.  Edit the TCPIP.NIF file in the IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\ sub-
    directory.
 
    Original coding:
 
      {FILE}
      NAME = INET.SYS IFNDIS.SYS
      PATH = \IBMCOM
 
    Edited coding:
 
      {FILE}
      NAME = SOCKETS.SYS AFINET.SYS IFNDIS.SYS AFOS2.SYS
      PATH = \IBMCOM
 
 
Considerations for AnyNet Sockets and LAN Server 4.0
 
This section describes coexistence considerations for
workstations that run both AnyNet Sockets and LAN Server
4.0.
 
AnyNet Sockets cannot co-exist with the NetBIOS over
TCP/IP (TCPBEUI) and the TCP/IP over NetBIOS functions
that are shipped with Multi-Protocol Transport Services
(MPTS).  To run LAN Server/LAN Requester 4.0 with AnyNet
Sockets, LAN Server/LAN Requester 4.0 must run over the
NetBIOS protocol.
 
If you have installed LAN Server/LAN Requester 4.0 and
AnyNet/2 Sockets on Warp Connect, you can fully utilize
the NetBIOS over TCP/IP function that shipped with MPTS
in Warp Connect.
 
 
Considerations for AnyNet Sockets and AnyNet Sockets Gateway
 
Be aware that there are limitations with running both
AnyNet/2 Version 2.0.2 Sockets access node and AnyNet/2
Sockets over SNA Gateway Version 1.1.6 on the same work-
station.  If you are interested in running both functions
on one workstation, contact IBM Support Service at
1-800-992-4777.
 
 
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
 
AnyNet/2 Version 2.0.2 is a complete product refresh.
 
If you are installing AnyNet/2 Version 2.0.2 over a prior
version of AnyNet/2 and want to preserve your AnyNet con-
figuration information, you must install AnyNet/2 Version
2.0.2 in the same directory as your previous AnyNet func-
tion (i.e. Sockets over SNA and/or SNA over TCP/IP).
 
If you do not need to preserve your configuration infor-
mation, you should delete the prior versions of AnyNet/2
before installing AnyNet/2 Version 2.0.2.
 
1.  To delete your current AnyNet/2 functions using the
    AnyNet/2 Version 2.0.2 diskettes, insert Diskette 1
    in the diskette drive and enter "a:\install" on the
    OS/2 command line.
 
2.  In the Installation and Maintenance menu that
    appears, select the "View" menu bar item, then select
    the "Installed Products" option.
 
3.  Select the product/function you wish to delete
 
4.  Select the "Action" menu bar item, then the "Delete"
    option.
 
5.  When the "Delete" action is complete, shut down and
    restart your system.
 
 
Considerations for Systems that Do Not Have a LAN Adapter Installed
 
When installing AnyNet Sockets on a system that does not
have a LAN adapter installed, you will receive the error
message "Protocol Manager not installed" when the
IFNDIS.SYS file is added to the CONFIG.SYS file.
 
Ignore this message; AnyNet Sockets successfully starts.
To avoid receiving this message, you can comment out the
DEVICE statement in the CONFIG.SYS file that points to
IFNDIS.SYS.
 
 
LATE BREAKING FIXES
 
On the Sockets over NetBIOS start option panel, the field
name "Limit NetBIOS datagram size to 512 bytes" has been
shortened to "Limit NetBIOS datagram size."
 
In the "AnyNet Utilities" appendix of IBM AnyNet/2
Version 2.0.2: Guide to Sockets over IPX, the "Ifconfig
utility" section incorrectly describes the "up" and
"down" operands.  The text should read:
 
UP
    causes Sockets over IPX to redefine its local IPX
    interface.
 
DOWN
    causes Sockets over IPX to delete its local IPX
    interface.
 
 
INSTALLING ANYNET/2
 
To install the AnyNet/2 program and product documenta-
tion:
 
1.  To install from diskettes, insert Diskette 1 into
    your A: drive and enter "a:\install" on the OS/2
    command line.
 
 
    NOTES:
 
    a.  To install SNA over TCP/IP, select the "SNA over
        TCP/IP" product.
 
    b.  To install AnyNet Sockets, select the "Sockets
        for OS/2" product.  Sockets over IPX, Sockets
        over NetBIOS, and Sockets over SNA are all
        installed and cannot be selected individually.
 
2.  When the install program starts, follow the
    instructions on the screen.  If you need help com-
    pleting any of the items on the panel, press F1 or
    the "Help" push button.
 
    During installation, the AnyNet configuration tool is
    opened.  You can configure AnyNet/2 during installa-
    tion or exit the tool and configure the product after
    installation has finished.  If you need help com-
    pleting any of the items on the configuration panels,
    press the F1 key or the "Help" push button.
 
 
ANYNET/2 DOCUMENTATION
 
o   Online Help:  Online help for installation and con-
    figuration is provided with the AnyNet/2 product.
    For help on a field, press the F1 key or the "Help"
    push button.
 
o   Softcopy and Hardcopy Documentation
 
    You can access the softcopy and hardcopy documenta-
    tion in the following ways:
 
    -   View the softcopy documentation using the Library
        Reader provided in this package or BookManager
        Read.
 
        The install utility provides a copy of the
        Library Reader which can be used to view the doc-
        umentation.  If you already have a BookManager
        Read licensed program, you should not install the
        Library Reader.  Use the AnyNet installation
        program to install the BookManager book.  The
        installation program automatically identifies to
        BookManager the directories that contain the
        program documentation.
 
    -   Print the softcopy documentation.
 
        To print the BookManager documentation, use the
        following procedures:
 
        1.  Open the book to the Edition Notice.
 
        2.  Select the entire book as a marked area.
 
            a.  Place the cursor on the first character
                of the first word.
            b.  Press mouse button 1.
            c.  Go to the end of the last topic in the
                bibliography.
            d.  Press shift+mouse button 1.
 
        3.  Press Ctrl+P to print the book.
 
        You must build and print each artwork figure sep-
        arately.  The table of contents and index are not
        printed.
 
    -   Print the formatted PostScript documentation.
 
        You can print the formatted PostScript file on
        most PostScript printers.  If you are printing
        from OS/2 and have problems, try using the
        IBMNULL device driver.  This device driver is
        included as part of OS/2.
 
    -   Order a printed book through the IBM Marketing
        Center.
 
        You can also order a copy of the documentation
        through your IBM Marketing Center by requesting
        the following publications:
