LLC Support

  This management program does not support LLC management. However, on Windows 95 platforms, it continues to support the LLC Connect-by-address application. Connect by Address can be used to contact Access products that cannot currently be reached via IP. The purpose of this facility is to allow you to correct or set the IP address so the unit can be managed via IP.
  Note: The Probe family of products do not support LLC.

Invoking LLCTSR

  Before you can use this feature, you need to activate LLCTSR. To do this, perform the following steps prior to launching the Connect-by-Address program:
  1. Open a DOS window.
  2. Change to the SYNCMAN\BIN directory (e.g., cd c:\syncman\bin).
  3. Enter LLCTSR
  If you use this feature frequently, you may want to add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
  \<envisage dir>\bin\llctsr where <envisage dir> is the path/directory for SYNCMAN.

DLCI

  To accommodate the LLC protocol, windows must be set to use the Microsoft 32-bit DLC driver.
  1. Open the Start menu and select Settings>Control Panel.
  2. From the Control Panel window, double-click on Network.
  3. If the Microsoft 32-Bit DLC driver is not listed, you must add it.
  a Click on the Add button.
  b From the Select Network Component Type window, select Protocol, then click on the Add button.
  c From the Select Network Protocol window, select Microsoft, then Microsoft 32-Bit DLC.

Setting the Microsoft 32-Bit DLC Driver Properties

  The LLC feature requires the Microsoft 32-Bit DLC driver to be configured with certain parameters.
  1 Open the Start menu and select Settings > Control Panel.
  2 From the Control Panel window, double-click on network.
  3 From the Network window, select the Microsoft 32-Bit DLC driver, then click on the Properties button.
  4 Click on the Advanced tab.
  5 Check / set the following options:
  CCB Adapter Number -- should be set to 0 unless you have multiple adapters in your system. If you have two adapters and are using the alternate one for Envisage, set this value to 1.
  Max Links -- defines the maximum number of link stations. This value should be set to 230, however, since Envisage does not support LLC Management, this value can be reduced to 20 providing you change the Session Tuning values in Envisage.
  Max SAPs -- should be set to 4. The remaining values can be left at their defaults.

Setting the Session Tuning Values in Envisage.

  If you set the Microsoft 32-Bit DLC Max Links value to 20, you need to define the following Session Tuning values:
  1 Launch Envisage.
  2 Open the Options menu and select Customize.
  3 Click on the Session Tuning tab.
  4 Enter the following values.
  5 Click on Save, then Exit.
