Follow these steps if you are installing the client software on this computer.
Access the Windows Client Installation software from the appropriate source, and issue the setup command at the prompt.
The program displays a Welcome window. Choose NEXT to move to the next window.
The program displays a window prompting you to confirm that you agree to the licensing terms for the Windows Client. Choose YES to agree to the licensing terms.
The program prompts you to specify a destination directory into which the files are to be installed. Enter the destination directory.
The program asks you to choose the type of installation you want:
Include the files that are typically required for normal use. This option is correct for most users.
Include the minimum set of files required to run the Windows Client. Choose this option if you need to minimize the hard disk space taken up by the client files.
Customize the installation to include specific files that you need.
If you want to install the Windows Client SDK, you must choose Custom.
Choose the installation type.
If you chose Custom, the program allows you to select the Windows Client program files, the Windows Client SDK, or both. Choose the files that you want to install.
For all installation types, the program then asks you to enter the name of the program folder in which you wish icons for the SNAP-IX Windows client software to appear. Enter the folder name.
At this point, the Setup program copies files from the specified source, and installs them in the appropriate places. During this process, an information bar displays what portion of the installation is complete. The .DLL files are copied into the System or equivalent directory, and the other files are copied into the destination directory you specified in Step The program prompts you to specify a destination directory into which the files are to be installed. Enter the destination directory..
If the System directory already contains .DLL files with names that are the same as files used by this Setup program but are not SNAP-IX files (they are files from some other SNA software), the program prompts you to do one of the following:
Copy the SNAP-IX .DLL files over the existing .DLL files
Copy the existing .DLL files to a subdirectory named OTHERSNA within the installation directory, and then install the SNAP-IX .DLL files. This option enables you to restore the original setup from before the SNAP-IX installation if you uninstall the SNAP-IX files at a later time (see Uninstalling the SNAP-IX Windows Client Software).
Cancel the client software installation.
If the SNAP-IX .DLL files are already present, new .DLL files will overwrite existing .DLL files only if the existing files have lower version numbers than the Setup program .DLL files.
When the required files have been copied, the Setup program displays the Configuration window.
Default 3270 group names are configured in the domain configuration file. For more information, see the SNAP-IX Administration Guide. If you do not wish to use these default values then you can configure them as shown below:
If you do not wish to use the default 3270 group name then specify a group name. Choose a group name that has already been added to the configuration file. For more information, see the SNAP-IX Administration Guide.
Specify the SNAP-IX client-server domain name.
The following settings are optional:
The screen shows a list of up to nine servers to which this client can connect. The order in which servers appear in this list is the order in which the client selects these servers. If the client cannot connect to the first server on the list, the next server is tried.
To add a new server to the list, use the Add button.
To remove a server from the list, select the server and use the Remove button.
To move a server up or down the list, select the server and use the slide buttons at the side of the list.
Specify whether this client will use UDP broadcasts to connect to a server. When this option is selected, the client sends UDP broadcasts over the network to locate a server connection before trying to connect directly to a specific server.
The default setting is to use UDP broadcasts. To change this setting, click on the box.
To supply additional values in place of the defaults supplied by the Setup program, click on the Advanced button at the bottom of the window. The Setup program displays the Advanced Options window, which contains advanced settings for Windows client configuration. Most users can use the default settings for these parameters, so you probably do not need to alter the settings in that dialog.
For more information about these parameters, see Advanced Options for Windows Client Configuration.
For more information about any of the configuration parameters or settings, click on Help.
When you have completed the Configuration window, click on OK. The Setup program displays a message if you have not completed this screen properly.
When the installation has successfully completed, the Finish window is displayed. You can select either or both of the following actions to be taken after you exit the installation program:
View the readme file.
Begin running this SNAP-IX client.
Choose Finish to exit the installation program.
