... Software Installation
The TCP/IP Package software components should be installed as
described in the following sections. The ethernet device
handler specific to your particular hardware configuration must
be copied to the TSX-PLUS system device. The logical name as-
signments used by the package are:
1. TCP: Location of client/server programs
and assorted configuration, message,
and help files.
2. PAS: Location of password files.
3. ENx: Selected device driver units 0-3.
The logical name assignments MAI:, location of mailboxes,
HTP:, location of HTTP home directory, and GPH:, location of GO-
PHER files, may be used in various command files.
The TCP/IP Package for TSX-Plus executables are found on log-
ical disks TSDSK1.DSK, TSDSK2.DSK, and TSDSK3.DSK. The required
device handlers are found on the logical disks DVDSK1.DSK and
DVDSK2.DSK.
Configurations The TSX-Plus package may be installed in one of the following three configurations: 1) Install All Files on System Device All command files and client/server programs are copied directly to your system disk. Assign SY: to TCP:. This confi- guration puts everything in one place but installs about 90 files (and 2100 blocks) on your system disk. 2) Install Only Command Files on System Device Create a seperate logical disk (assigned as TCP:) for the client/server programs and perhaps seperate logical disks for the password files (assigned as PAS:) and mail boxes (assigned as MAI:). Copy the command files to the system directory. This will install about 50 files (and 50 blocks) on your system device. 3) Install All Files on a Logical Disk Create a seperate logical disk (assigned as TCP:) for the package and perhaps seperate logical disks for the password files (assigned as PAS:) and mail boxes (assigned as MAI:). Copy all the files to the TCP: disk. This configuration re- quires the user to specify the TCP: logical when using any TCP/IP command file or program but removes all files from the system disk. CCL commands may be defined to obviate the need for using TCP:, see the file TSXUCL.INS for a complete set of definitions. Edit the file to include only the CCL definitions you wish defined.

Installation in Detail
Complete the hardware installation as described in the
chapter titled Hardware Installation.
Under TSX-Plus the most convenient installation is:
1. Create TSXTCP.DSK[2400] as TCP:,
a logical disk for the TCP/IP files
2. Create PASWRD.DSK[200] as PAS:,
a logical disk for the password files
3. Optionally Create MAIL.DSK[nnn],
a logical disk for the MAIL directory
4. Optionally Create HTTP.DSK[nnn],
a logical disk for the HTTP home directory
5. Optionally Create GOPHER.DSK[nnn],
a logical disk for the GOPHER directory
NOTE
The MAIL, HTTP, and GOPHER directories are
needed only if you are going to use the mail,
http, or gopher servers. The size of the
MAI:, HTP:, and GPH: logical disks are what-
ever is needed.
6. Copy the contents of the distribution disks TSDSK1,
TSDSK2, and TSDSK3 to TCP:.
7. Copy and rename (as EQ.TSX or EU.TSX) the appropriate
device handler from the logical disks DVDSK1.DSK or
DVDSK2.DSK to SY:. (See the chapter on device handlers
for more information on selecting the appropriate
device handler.)
8. Edit the file TCP:TSXUCL.INS to include the CCL com-
mands you want.
9. Create a command file which will mount and assign the
logical disk for TCP: and add the line
'@TCP:TSXUCL.INS' at the end. Include this file in the
LINEx.TSX startup files.
10. Copy PASWRD.SAV and PASWRD.FIL to PAS:.
11. Edit the command file TCP:PASWRD.COM to mount and as-
sign the logical disk PAS:.
12. Update the password file. The password file contains
an anonymous account which you will need to update or
delete. If you delete the anonymous account then add
at least one valid account for initial testing with
remote FTP enabled.
13. Edit the file TCP:TCPIP.CFG for your configuration.
Your machine's name and IP address are required and the
specification of a name server and gateway may be re-
quired for your network.
14. Edit TCP:TCPIP.COM to mount TCP: and assign units 0-3
of the device handler to EN0-3. Copy this file to SY:.
15. Edit or create the TSX detached job startup file
SY:DETACH.TSX to include the line
'detach sy:tcpip.com'.
16. Edit the files TCP:*.SRV to mount and assign the logi-
cal disks for TCP:, PAS:, MAI:, HTP:, and GPH: as re-
quired by the particular service. (Since the servers
are run as detached jobs these need to be defined when
the job starts.)
17. Update your TSX configuration by following the section
on TSX-Plus system generation.
18. Reboot your TSX-Plus system. Verify that the job TCPIP
is running. (If the job did not start then check that
SY:TCPIP.COM has TCP: defined correctly, the confi-
guration file path is correct, the device assignments
are correct, and file TCPIP.CFG is correct. Try start-
ing the TCPIP server from the console: ru/single
TCP:TCPIP, enter the command line arguments at the
argv: prompt and see what errors the program gives.)
19. Verify that another networked computer can communicate
with your machine by doing a 'ping'. Don't know what a
ping is? Skip this step. (verifies that TCPIP is able
to respond to data sent over the Ethernet wire)
20. Attempt to Telnet or FTP to a local computer using only
the IP number of that computer. (verifies connections
are possible)
21. Attempt to Telnet or FTP to a local computer using the
computer's name. The computer's name and IP address
must not be in the TCPIP.CFG file. (verifies that the
name server entry is correct)
22. Attempt to Telnet or FTP to a machine not on your local
network. If you use the machine's name then the name
server must be working or the machine's name and IP
number must be in the configurataion file
TCP:TCPIP.CFG. (verifies that the gateway entry is
correct)
23. Attempt to FTP to your computer from some other
networked machine using your machine's IP address. If
your machine's name has not been added to the name
server you must use the IP number. (verifies that the
RFTP.SRV configuration is correct and that password
checking is working)
Essentially your installation is now complete. You only need
to update the password file to specify user/password informa-
tion, access rights, and default FTP and MAIL directories. In-
dividual program configuration information is contained in the
chapter titled Program Options.
