HOB Telnet Gateway Extension - Installation

The HOB Telnet Gateway Extension runs under Windows NT. IBIPGW03 requires an SNA gateway product which implements the SNA protocol.

This may be:

• Microsoft SNA Server
• IBM eNetwork Communications Server for Windows
• HOBLink SNA Stack

The program IBIPGW03 should be installed under Windows NT as a service. It can also be started from the command prompt. IBIPGW03 reads its configuration parameters from an .ini-file. The .ini-file can be edited with any usual ASCII-editor under Windows NT. Please obey the rules for Windows .ini-files.

When IBIPGW03 is started, the first parameter specifies the name of the .ini-file.

Please notice that Windows will not search the file in the path currently active. To start IBIPGW03 with an .ini-file (example xyz.ini) in the current directory, use ./ to specify the current directory, or use the complete path name.

IBIPGW03 xyz.ini
