PicLan-IP Installation
D³/NT

In order to install PicLan-IP for D³/NT, you must have D³/NT build 261 or later. This release consists of:

Boot Monitor        7.1.1.0239; 10/12/97
Boot ABS            7.1.0.A11; 3 Oct 1997
Boot ABS Data File  7.1.0.A11; 3 Oct 1997
System Data Files   7.1.0.D11; 3 Oct 1997

As of October 21, 1997, this is a test release from Pick Systems. Use of PicLan-IP with build 230 is possible but a bug in Flash Basic will cause web pages over 30K (15K for binary items) to truncate.

You should be able to run D³/NT on a Windows NT or Windows 95 system, but only Windows NT has been tested at Modular Software.

In addition, you must install Windows TCP/IP protocol support and associated network adapters.

Installing the PICLAN-IP Account

The PicLan-IP software is downloadable as a compressed archive (ZIP) file. At this time, this file is manually installed using the following proceedure (a future release of PicLan-IP for D³/NT will probably include a somewhat more automated proceedure).

Create a directory c:\plip_d3

Because of the way the D³/NT handles DLLs and long file names, you cannot load the PicLan-IP support routines in the c:/program files/d3 directory area.

Copy the PicLan-IP .zip file to the c:\d3_plip directory
Uncompress the PicLan-Ip .zip file. The following files will be created:

c:\plip_d3\plip.dll
c:\plip_d3\Pseudo0

Copy and rename the Pseudo0 file to c:\program files\d3\d3virtual\Psuedo0
Start the D³/NT virtual environment and log to the dm account.
Execute the following TCL commands:

T-SELECT 2 (assuming that Psuedo0 is tape device 2)
T-ATT
T-REW
T-LOAD MD (O
INSTALL

The PICLAN-IP account will be loaded.

You can then configure the PicLan-IP server software in the same manner as other PicLan-IP releases. You should note the following differences as compared to native PicLan-IP releases:

In Windows Network Setup:

Set the IP address for your network adapters to the desired addresses for the web server.
If you need virtual hosting, then you should enter multiple IP addresses for each virtual host.

In the PLIP.CTRL CONFIG item:

Set the DLL PATH= parameter to point to the directory that contains PLIP.DLL.
The IP address fields are not used.

In the WWW.CTRL CFG item:

If you use an asterisk '*' for an IP address, then the first IP address in the PLIP.CTRL CONFIG file will be used, even if that address is not valid for this machine.

For more information, refer to the standard PicLan-IP configuration documentation:

After PicLan-IP is configured, you execute the following command to activate the PicLan-IP software:

PLIP-LOAD

This command will load the PicLan-IP support DLL (plip.dll) and allocate buffer space. The PicLan-IP web server is then started with:

PLIP-START
