NetCon Release 6.0 Description

NetCon Release 6.0 is a high performance networking system for UNIX and DOS machines. NetCon provides peer to peer UNIX Networking as well as complete client/server UNIX to DOS and DOS to UNIX networking at 2 to 8 times the speed of NFS without TCP/IP. This is accomplished by precise high-performance client/server protocol emulation on standard UNIX and DOS systems. The protocol emulation is so exact that UNIX systems appear to function as NetWare servers to DOS clients. NetWare servers and other UNIX systems appear as UNIX directories to UNIX users, all with a throughput of up to 400,000 bytes per second.

NetCon release 6.0 includes a full featured, high performance MultiScreen DOS/WINDOWS ANSI terminal emulator teamed with a UNIX SPX terminal server, allowing DOS users full access to UNIX services and applications across the network and eliminating the need for ASYNC serial terminals. The MultiScreen Terminal emulator allows for "HOT-KEY" switching between 3 screens on each session and up to 6 sessions for a total of 18 or more screens depending on available memory. The emulator is also compliant with the SCO Console extensions to the ANSI X3.64-1979 specification including screen(HW), setkey(C), setcolor(C), keyboard(HW) and multiscreen(M). Support is also included for transparent printing to the local printer port on the P/C. Any application that works on the "SCO Console" will work the same way on the NetCon MultiScreen terminal emulator; we guarantee it. Because the communication between UNIX and the Terminal emulator is via a network, speeds of 4,000,000 baud are obtainable. The only limiting factor is the display speed of your VGA adapter. The faster the adapter the faster the baud rate.

The NetCon 6.0 Stand-Alone option provides a complete DOS/UNIX networking solution without the need for additional servers or software. The Stand-Alone option includes a complete set of DOS utilities to allow high performance access to basic file and print services on the UNIX server. Utilities include login and logout, drive mapping for up to 26 drives to any UNIX directory, printer redirection for lpt1:, lpt2:, and lpt3: to any UNIX print spooler plus a file server listing utility.

UNIX systems can attach to other UNIX systems on a peer to peer basis, each one sharing each others files and printers. Additional UNIX users can have full access to any NetWare server or printer on the network.

Since NetCon requires no TCP/IP or any other additional networking software on the DOS clients, NetWare users can continue to use their system as they have in the past. Users can attach UNIX file systems and printers to their workstations, using the same commands as they use to attach to a NetWare server.

NetCon software includes a new high-performance "TFS" file system which allows any NetWare or NetCon server to be simply mounted as another UNIX file system. UNIX users can then use standard UNIX commands to perform any operations they wish on these files. Print jobs can also be sent to any server or print queue on the network whether UNIX or NetWare. Utilizing the UNIX scheduling capabilities, data on the NetWare servers can be backed up or updated by the UNIX system at any predetermined time.

The NetCon Release 6.0 Terminal and File Servers are based on a radically new high performance design, incorporating such features as shared virtual memory, caching, and intelligent read ahead capabilities making it one of the highest performance UNIX File and Terminal Servers on the market today. Much of the improvement in performance has been achieved by reducing the CPU utilization by almost 90% over previous releases of NetCon. The NEW print server also allows printing to any UNIX printer.

Getting Started Using NetCon

NetCon Permissions Mapping UNIX to NetWare

Before using NetCon, check with your system administrator to make sure you have a valid UNIX login and your UNIX login has been MAPPED to your NetWare login. (See Administrators Guide and "NetCon" menu utility for details). The first time you attempt to mount a NetWare Server Volume

Using the NetWare File System From UNIX

Before a UNIX user can use a mounted NetWare Server, the server must be mounted to a UNIX directory and a default UNIX user name must be mapped to a NetWare user. The first time a UNIX user attempts to mount a NetWare server NetCon will prompt the Unix user for a NetWare user name and password for that NetWare server. NetCon will use this information to add a default user and group mapping for that server. (See the "System Administration" section for details on the "NetCon" menu utility for mounting NetWare Servers and mapping UNIX users to NetWare users)

Mounting A NetWare Volume for the First Time.

Login to the NetCon server as the Unix user to whom you wish to give access to the NetWare Server.

Note: If you will be mounting and accessing the NetWare server as a regular user other than supervisor then your NetWare Administrator must add the user as a trustee to the "SYS:" volume or any NetWare Volume you may wish to mount. This will not affect NetWare security as the user will only have access to the directories and files that he has been assigned rights to.

Use "netcmount" to mount a NetWare volume:

Example:

     # netcmount netware:sys:/ /mnt (Enter)
     Enter user name for server NetWare : supervisor (Enter)
     Enter the password for user supervisor on server NetWare : xxxxxxx (Enter)
     Re-enter supervisor password : xxxxxxx (Enter)     
          NETCMOUNT NETWARE:SYS: /mnt
In the above example the Unix user root has mounted the NetWare server NetWare volume SYS to the Unix directory /mnt as the NetWare user supervisor. Supervisor's password was provided and the following entries were added to the NetCon BINDERY:
     Mapped Users For Server NetWare
     SUPERVISOR     root     user     default
     EVERYONE     daemon     group     default
Additional Unix to NetWare user and group mappings can be added with the "NetCon" menu utility. See selection "E. Map Users and Groups To Unix" in the main "NetCon Menu Utility" and the "System Administration" sections of the NetCon Manual for complete details. Also see the following section.

NOTE: You may mount a NetWare server volume as any Unix user and use any valid NetWare user login and password provided that the NetWare user has a valid password and is a trustee on the volume you wish to mount.

Mapping Additional Users and Groups

If your NetWare user's password has not already been mapped to a NetWare user, you can use the menu utility "netcon" to do so.

In the following example, the NetWare server name is "FILE_SERVER_1" and the Unix user "root" is mapped to the NetWare USER "supervisor".

Example:

login to Unix as root.

          # netcon (Enter)

Select the NetCon server, login to the NetCon server as "root".

Select "E" Map Users and Groups to Unix" then select the NetWare server and log into it as user you want to be mapped to. Then when the list of "Mapped User For Server X" is displayed, press the (ins) insert key.

     NETCON 6.0     Mon Feb 27 14:46:45 1995
Connected To File Server NETCON
UNIX User oot On Netcon Client NETCON



Map NETWARE Network User/Group To Unix
 Network Server:      NETWARE
 UNIX User/Group Name:      root
 Network User/Group Equivalent :      SUPERVISOR
 Network User Password(groups="-"):      
 Is This A user, group or world:      User
 Make This Entry The Default:      Yes
 Update Configuration:      Yes

Enter the correct information (the password is hidden).

Change update configuration to "yes" (use the Pg Up, Pg Dn or Ctrl+A keys to toggle from "No" to "Yes") and hit (Enter) or <Esc> to update the entry by selecting "F. Mapped User/Group Information"

After you have sucessfully logged into the NetWare server and mapped yourself to a NetWare user, you can change to the Mounted NetWare directory and use it as you would any Unix file system.

Using a NetWare Printer from Unix

Before you can use a NetWare printer from UNIX, a print queue must exist on the server you want to print to. You can print to any queue on the network, even back to your UNIX server.

Example:

     netcprint -s netware -q printer1 /etc/passwd (Enter)

or

     netcprint -s NETWARE -q printer2 /etc/passwd (Enter)     

This will print the file "/etc/passwd" on the NetWare server "NETWARE" to the print queue name "printer1" or "printer2".

If your System Administrator has set up a UNIX spooler for NetWare print queues, you can just use the "lp" or "lpr" command with the "-d" option. NetWare print queues can be easily setup as UNIX spoolers with the "/usr/lib/netcon/ncpr" script. The following example assumes that a UNIX print spooler was set up for NetWare named "netware".

Example:

lp -d netware /usr/bin/netcon.rc (Enter)

Using the UNIX File System from a DOS/WINDOWS Client





Before you can use the UNIX file system from a client, the System Administrator must specify the volumes that are available to the network users and you must also have a valid UNIX login and password. Use the NetWare utility "map" or the NetCon utility "ncmap" to map the UNIX volumes and directories to DOS drives.

Example:

     map g:=unix/sys:\ (Enter)

or for Stand-Alone installations you should login first.

     j: (Enter)
     nclogin  (Enter)
     ncmap g:=unix/sys:\ (Enter)

Where "unix" is the UNIX NetCon Server name and "sys:/" is a volume/directory name. Map will prompt you for your UNIX login and password. The mapping of UNIX directories to Network volumes can be found in the "/usr/lib/netcon/netcexport" file.

Using the UNIX Printers From a DOS/WINDOWS Client

NetCon automatically configures all UNIX printers as NetWare print queues during start-up.

The following NetWare Print utilities have been tested and function normally with NetCon print queues:

pconsole, nprint and capture.

To redirect LPT1: to a UNIX print spooler "P1".

Example:

     c:> capture s=unix q=p1 (Enter)

or for Stand-Alone installations

     c:> ncapture server=unix queue=p1 (Enter)

or

     c:> ncapture s=unix q=p1 (Enter)

To redirect LPT2: to a UNIX print spooler "P2".

Example:

for Stand-Alone installations

     c:> ncapture s=unix q=p2 lpt=2 (Enter)

To set a 10 second time-out value for LPT1: to force the start of printing if an application does not close the print file.

Example:

for Stand-Alone installations

     c:> ncapture lpt=1 t=10 (Enter)

To turn off all printer redirection and set print to the local mode.

Example:

for Stand-Alone installations

     c:> ncapture off(Enter)

To display the current printer redirection.

Example:

for Stand-Alone installations

     c:> ncapture show(Enter)

MultiScreen Terminal Emulation from DOS/WINDOWS to UNIX

NetCon provides an SPX MultiScreen terminal server. This server is designed to work with NetCon "ncterm.exe" MultiScreen terminal emulator.

Using NCTERM MultiScreen Terminal Emulator From DOS

To use NCTERM on a DOS/WINDOWS Client you must either map a local drive to the NetCon servers "sys/public" directory or copy the programs "NCTERM.*" from the "/sys/public" directory to your DOS machine. Make sure LSL, HARDWARE_DRIVER, IPXODI & NETX are loaded first and your "PATH" variable includes the directory that contains the ncterm executable, pif and icon files. In the example below this would be "K:\" i.e. "PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;K:\;".

After IPXODI.COM, NETX.COM are loaded, you can map a local drive to the Netcon Server and load NCTERM as follows:

Example:

     c:> map k:=netcon/sys:\public(Enter)
     c:> ncterm netcon (Enter)

or for Stand-Alone installations

     c:> ncmap k:=netcon/sys:\public(Enter)
     c:> ncterm netcon (Enter)

Where "netcon" is the NetCon server name. If you are not sure of your server name use "slist" or "ncslist" to obtain all the server names on the network.

Example:

c:> slist(Enter)

or for Stand-Alone installations

c:> ncslist(Enter)

Using NCTERM MultiScreen Terminal Emulator From WINDOWS

Before starting WINDOWS you must load the ODI driver set and setup your drive mapping and printer redirection. These functions cannot be performed properly once you are in WINDOWS. The following are examples of a typical "AUTOEXEC.BAT file for NetCon with WINDOWS.

Example:

AUTOEXEC.BAT

          lsl
          ne2000
          ipxodi
          netx or vlm
          j:
          login
          map k:=netware/sys:\public
          capture s=netware q=laser
          path=c:\;c:\dos;k:\;c:\windows

or for Stand-Alone installations

AUTOEXEC.BAT

          lsl
          ne2000
          ipxodi
          netx
          j:
          nclogin
          path=c:\;c:\dos;j:\public\;c:\windows;
          ncapture s=netware q=laser          

Once WINDOWS is started you may setup a Program Group and an Icon for NCTERM using the "Program Manager" "File" selection. Select "New", "Program Group", enter "NetCon" for "Description" and "Group File" then select "OK". You should now have a new Program Group called NetCon. To set up an Icon for NCTERM in this new Program Group select "File", "New", "Program Item" select "OK". Enter "NCTERM SERVER_NAME" for "Description" and "Command Line" where "SERVER_NAME" is the name of the NetCon server you want to login to. Also enter the full path for the directory containing ncterm.exe, ncterm.ico and ncterm.pif files in this example it is "J:\PUBLIC" for the "Working Directory". Then select "Change Icon", "Browse", select k:\public\ncterm.ico, "OK", "OK", "OK". You should now have a new Program Group called NetCon with the NCTERM icon. You should now be able to obtain a "login:" by double clicking on the NCTERM icon. Refer to the WINDOWS documentation for a complete description on how to use the Program Manager to add new Program groups and Icons.

Using NCTERM MultiScreens

Netcon's "ncterm" terminal emulator provides the user with 3 multiscreen virtual terminals with HOT-KEY switching between terminals. Up to 6 ncterm sessions may be run under WINDOWS for a total of up to 18 multiscreens depending on available memory.

To switch between MultiScreen sessions hold the ALT key and press the number keys 1, 2 or 3 on the alphanumeric portion of the keyboard the 1, 2, 3 keys on the keypad will not work.

EXAMPLE

     ALT+1     screen one.
     ALT+2     screen two.
     ALT+3     screen three.

Programming NCTERM Function Keys

Netcon's "ncterm" terminal emulator supports the SCO setkey(C) command and the SCO specification for programming function keys. Programs that properly map the function key on the SCO Console will work the same way with "ncterm".

To use setkey to map function key "F1" to do a "pwd" and "lc".

EXAMPLE

     # netcsetkey 1 "pwd ; lc\n"(Enter)

To reset the function key to their default values.

EXAMPLE

     # cat /usr/lib/netcon/keymap(Enter) 

Refer to the SCO documentation on setkey(C) and the NetCon documentation on netcsetkey (1) for complete details.

Using Setcolor with NCTERM

Netcon's "ncterm" terminal emulator supports the SCO setcolor(C) command. To set a blue background with white type.

EXAMPLE

     # setcolor white blue(Enter) 

Capturing NCTERM display to a file

Netcon's "ncterm" terminal emulator includes a facility to capture the screen output to an ASCII file. To use capture press (Ctrl+Home) keys to access the ncterm menu, then press "C" for Capture and enter a full path name for the capture file i.e. "C:\CAPTURE.TXT".

EXAMPLE

     # Ctrl+Home
     C
     C:\CAPTURE.TXT(Enter) 
     T      returns to Terminal emulation 

Printing NCTERM Display

Netcon's "ncterm" terminal emulator supports the DOS print screen command key to cause the display from ncterm to be redirected to "LPT1:". LPT1: may be a locally attached or network printer.

EXAMPLE

# Ctrl+Print_Scrn Turns on capturing to LPT1:

# Ctrl+Print_Scrn Turns off capturing to LPT1:

# Shift+Print_Scrn Print the current screen to LPT1:

Printing to the Local Printer LPT1: with NCTERM

Netcon's "ncterm" terminal emulator supports transparent printing to "LPT1:" in much the same way as an ASYNC terminal prints to its AUX port. The following example script send Esc[4i to the terminal which stops the display and sends all the following output to "LPT1:". Esc[5i turns the display back on.

EXAMPLE

/usr/bin/lt

     echo "\033[4i" 
     cat $*
     echo "\033[5i"  

To now print the file "/etc/passwd" to the local port "LPT1:".

EXAMPLE

     # /usr/bin/lt /etc/passwd(Enter) 

Ending NCTERM session

To end NCTERM and logout of all the MultiScreens, go to the ncterm menu by holding down "Ctrl" and press "Home" (Ctrl+home) then press "Q" (Quit). If you want to just end a MultiScreen session press (Ctrl+D).

To disconnect a session press (Alt+H) in terminal mode, or "H" (Hangup) on the menu.

See the NCTERM.EXE section of the Command Guide and the SCO Documentation screen(HW), keyboard(HW), multiscreen(M), setkey(C) and setcolor(C) for complete details.

Using a Mouse with NCTERM on SCO UNIX/ODT

NetCon's NCTERM.EXE terminal emulator supports a DOS mouse in the same manner as the SCO console. For complete details on how mouse support is implemented in NCTERM see the SCO man pages on usemouse(C).

EXAMPLE:

     # man usemouse(Enter) 

To use a mouse with NCTERM you must first load the MS-DOS mouse driver, usually MOUSE.COM, on the DOS P/C. This needs to be done only once after booting the PC. Then start up NCTERM with a mouse map file.

Loading mouse.com on the DOS P/C.

EXAMPLE:

C:> MOUSE (Enter)

c:> ncterm -m vi netcon_server (Enter)

This example assumes that the mouse driver has not yet been loaded; so it loads the MOUSE.COM mouse driver for the first time, and then starts ncterm with a mouse map file expected to be found in the current directory.

This example uses the mouse map file "vi" for the vi editor which should work for most applications that support cursor key movements. You can use any of the default mouse map files found in the SCO Unix "/usr/lib/mouse" directory or create your own custom mouse map files following the instructions in usemouse (C) and the examples in "/usr/lib/mouse".

Before you can use a mouse map file, it must be accessible to ncterm. You may copy the default SCO Unix mouse map files to a directory that can be accessed by the DOS PC.

EXAMPLE:

C:> map l:=NETCON_SERVER/vol2:\ (Enter)

C:> copy l:\usr\lib\mouse\* C:\ (Enter)

In this example we are assuming that "L:" is a unused DOS drive letter and "vol2" is the SCO UNIX root "/" directory. The default mouse map files are in the "/usr/lib/mouse" directory on the SCO UNIX system. Note that it is not necessary to copy the map files to the PC. The following command can be used after the above "map" command. To start ncterm with a map file:

c:> ncterm -m L:\usr\lib\mouse\vi netcon_server (Enter)

Network Utilities

The following NetWare commands and utilities have been tested and appear to provide limited functionality on a NetCon Server:

MENU UTILITIES

filer (READ ONLY) syscon sessions pconsole menu

COMMANDS

attach capture caston checckvon endcap endvol flag flagdir grant holdoff holdon listdir login logout map ncopy ndir nprint nsnipes nver pstat purge remove rendir revoke rights salvage send slist smode systime tlist userlist whoami LOGIN scripts

The following commands and utilities are NOT applicable to a UNIX Server:

volinfo printdef printcon

Additionally, a UNIX user and password can ONLY be added or changed by the UNIX System Administrator in order to maintain system security.

For further information, refer to the Command Guide section of the manual or read the on-line text in the "/usr/lib/netcon/man" directory.

Sharing Files Between UNIX and MS-DOS

When sharing files between MS-DOS and UNIX systems, note that file formatting conventions differ. Most noticeably, MS-DOS editors terminate a line of text with a <Return> and a <Line Feed> and may place a <CTL> Z at the end of the file. UNIX editors end the line with a <Line Feed> only and do not place a <CTL> Z at the end of the file.

Some programs and utilities are sensitive to the differences in file formatting and some are not. Generally, only text and data files that must be in strict format have to be changed. If you need to change the format of a text or data file to make it work across the network, there are two utilities provided to help you.

To use a text or data file formatted according to the MS-DOS convention on a UNIX system, run the dos2unix or dtox utility on that file. The dos2unix and dtox commands, which stand for "DOS to UNIX," remove the extra characters from the file. Conversely, the unixt2dos or xtod utility reformats UNIX files according to the MS-DOS convention. The command unix2dos or xtod stands for "UNIX to DOS.''

Both of these utilities take a filename as an argument and send output to standard output. Here is an example of dtox:

dtox filename > output.file

where:

filename is the name of the file you want converted.

output.file is the name of the file where the converted output is to be saved.

You can also use the dtox and xtod commands as a filter by sending the input through a pipe. For example, the following syntax produces the same output as the example above:

cat filename | dtox > output.file

For more information, please refer to the manual entries for dos2unix or dtox and unix2dos or xtod included in SCO Command Guide.

File Name Translations

The file naming conventions are different for NetWare and UNIX; however, NetCon automatically translates UNIX file names to names that can be read by the NetWare Server.

The NetWare server follows these conventions:

All alphabetic characters are uppercase. (case insensitive)

All file names have the format 8.3, where eight characters are used for the file name, the period (.), then three extension characters.

The period (.) is not considered part of the name.

The UNIX file naming conventions have fewer name restrictions than NetWare. In UNIX, Names are case sensitive and all characters are valid, except the forward slash (/). The NetCon software translates the UNIX names to NetWare names by making the following modifications:

All lower case characters are changed to uppercase.

The ampersand (&) is used to toggle between upper and lowercase letters; each inserted ampersand adds to the length of the name. The first uppercase letter in the UNIX name causes an ampersand to be inserted in front of the letter in the file name on the NetWare Server. If after an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter is encountered, another ampersand is inserted in front of that letter.

Unprintable characters and unacceptable characters are represented as an ampersand of the name.

No translation is now made for names that are too long.

To maintain complete compatibility between files accessed by both UNIX and NetWare files, just follow this simple rule:

UNIX file-names should be lowercase, not to exceed 8.3 format.

Examples:

Original UNIX name Translated NetWare Name

Acceptable Formats

     1file          1FILE                         abc.d          ABC.D                         12345678.123          12345678.123                    abcdefgh.ijk          ABCDEFGH.IJK                    README          &README                    AbCd          &A&B&C&D          

Unacceptable Formats

     a.b.c.          A&2EB.C                    a*B.c          A&2A&B.&C                    a2345678.9abc          ERROR (ENOENT)

UNIX Services Supported on a Mounted NetWare Server.

All UNIX file-oriented commands (With the exception of those listed in the next section) and a subset of UNIX services are available to UNIX users accessing a mounted NetWare server. These are some of the services that can reference files residing on a NetWare Server:

     cat     cc     cd     cmp                         copy     cp     csplit     bdiff                         diff     diff3     ex     hd                         head     ls     lc     lp, lpr                         mkdir     more     mv     nroff                         od     pr     rm     sed                         sdiff     sort     split     tail                         tar     troff     uniq     vi                         wc     umount

UNIX file-oriented commands NOT Supported on a Mounted NetWare Server.

The following commands are not supported on mounted NetWare servers and are local device oriented; thus limiting the degree to which a user can access a remote mounted device. They do not affect the use of normal data or text files or the majority of file-oriented commands.
