Ref: 99970032 Title: 3+ Version 1.1 General Use Release Notes Number 2196-01 Date: 11-07-86 Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991. All rights reserved. This document includes notes related to use of the 3+ network. You should read this information carefully before using your 3+ software. The Release Notes are divided into seven sections: .BR;General .BR;3+Share/File .BR;3+Share/Print .BR;3+Menus .BR;3+Mail .BR;3+Remote .BR;3+Start Where applicable, each note is accompanied by a manual title and page reference. This reference indicates the manual and page containing related information. For your convenience, we have enclosed a set of stickers to assist you in using the information. Simply affix a Remember to check the Release Notes sticker to each page referenced. The next time you use the manual, the sticker will remind you of the new information contained in these notes. Guides referenced are: .BR;User 3+Share User Guide .BR;Menus 3+Menus Reference Guide .BR;Mail 3+Mail .BR;User Guide .BR;Rem 3+Remote User Guide .H1;General The buffer size set on the MSREDIR line (/z parameter) of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is set to 4096. If you are running primarily multi-user applications on your network, resetting this parameter to 1024 may improve performance. See Appendix D of the 3+ Installation and Configuration Guide for information on MSREDIR parameters. User A-15 The message "Internal error" can indicate that you have exceeded the maximum number of map entries allowed in the Login Library. This can occur when you attempt to link (3F or 3P LINK) or list directories (3F or 3P DIR) to more than eight different servers. In addition, each time you use the 3N ASSIGN command to assign an IBM- compatible name to represent the three-part name of a server, you use one of the map entries. Rebooting the workstation will clear the Login Library map entries. If you need to link to more than eight servers on a regular basis, consult your network administrator, Appendix D of the 3+ Installation and Configuration Guide and the Installation and Administration Release Notes for information on increasing the -m parameter on the line DEVICE=LGL.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file. User A-16 If the error message "LGL not loaded" or "Can't access A-7 3Com Process Manager MINDSPRO" appears after formatting a diskette, list a directory of the diskette using the DOS DIR command. You should then be able to continue network operations. User A-31 If the error message "Too many redirections" is displayed, you must increase the number of sessions allowed on the NB and MSREDIR lines of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for your workstation. Consult your network administrator and Appendix D of the 3+ Installation and Configuration Guide for information. User C-1 The XCOPY utility has been renamed to 3COPY. DOS 3.2 also contains a program called XCOPY which provides similar functions. .H1;3+Share/File User 7-19 The 3F UNSHARE command only deletes the specified sharename. The directory assigned to the sharename will not be deleted as a result of the 3F UNSHARE command even if it is empty. To delete an empty directory, you must use the DOS RMDIR command. .H1;3+Share/Print User 5-5 If you are using a new IBM keyboard (one that does not combine Prtsc and * on the same key), use [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[*] (where * is the key directly above the 9 on the numeric keypad) instead of [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Prtsc] to close spool files. Using a normal asterisk ([Shift]+[8]) will not close spool files. User 9-16 The 3P QSTAT command allows you to see what is in the print queue of any printer on the network. The Status: line in the resulting list indicates the status of each print job, as follows: Intercept You currently have the job open and are sending data to the spool file. This is what you would see if you used the 3P SET /HOLD option, or if you are printing from an application that does not send a DOS CLOSE call and haven't exited the application or pressed [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Prtsc]. Deferred Your job has been sent to the queue, but you specified that the printing of the job should be deferred with the 3P SET /DEFER command. Waiting Your job has been sent to the queue for printing, but another job has priority. Your job will print when those ahead of it have completed. Printing Your job is currently being printed. Print error An error has occurred on the printer. Check to see that paper is available and that the printer is functioning properly. .H1;3+Menus Menus 1-13 The attributes j and k defined in the color screen B-1 attribute list should read: .BR;j Current field in forms .BR;k Message line and the background for forms .H1;3+Mail Mail 6-5 CAUTION: When filing mail messages to a floppy diskette, DO NOT insert a new diskette into the same drive and continue filing messages. Doing so results in false directory information on the new diskette, rendering the filed messages inaccessible. If your workstation has two diskette drives and you are running mail from a network drive, you can safely file messages to two different diskettes by placing one in drive A: and one in drive B:. If your workstation has only one diskette drive, or you want to file messages to more than two different diskettes, you MUST follow these steps to ensure that the filed messages are readable. 1. Exit the mail program. 2. Remove the destination diskette and replace it with a new one. 3. List a directory (DIR) of the new destination diskette. 4. Run the mail program. 5. File messages to the new destination diskette Mail A-2 CAUTION: If running mail locally using a dual floppy drive system, do not retrieve mail to the same diskette from which the program is run. Files and directories can be lost or destroyed. Always place the diskette containing the MAIL.EXE program in drive A: , a formatted diskette in drive B:, and use the command A>MAIL B:. Mail 2-8 Up to 25 attachments can be added to a message. 5-4 Mail 3-4 3+Mail version 1.1 supports color on color graphics and enhanced color graphics systems. To display mail in color, type: MAIL /DISPLAYTYPE=x where x is B, D, or E. Each of these letters represents a different color combination. Mail C-6 The message "Can't find . But, domain is a Remote Domain ..." indicates that you have attempted to send a message to a user who does not exist in the local Name service. The domain specified, however, does exist in the local Name service. Responding Y when asked if you want to send the message anyway, will cause the 3+Mail server to attempt delivery of the message to the remote domain:organization. If the user cannot be found on the remote network, the message will be returned in the form of undelivered mail. To avoid this prompt when sending mail to users in remote domains, use the /NP parameter when running the mail program (for example, MAIL E: /NP). .H1;3+Remote Rem 2-2 3+Remote now supports the use of DCA FastLink and A-1 Trailblazer modems. Both these modems support the use of 9600 baud. Rem 2-3 Baud rates supported now include 4800 and 9600. 3-12 Rem 3-2 Remote User diskettes are created using the 3-5 3+ Installation program. Consult your network administrator and Chapter 2 of the 3+ Installation and Configuration Guide for information. Rem 3-13 The modem type (modtype) can be Hayes, Microcom, Fastlink, Trailblazer, or Other. The default is Hayes. .H1;3+Start For information on using 3+Start, consult your network administrator and the 3+ Administrator's Guide. 3Com is a registered trademark of 3Com Corporation. 3+, 3+Share, 3+Mail, 3+Remote, CacheCard, EtherMac, EtherPrint, EtherSeries, and EtherLink are trademarks of 3Com Corporation.
