QUICK REFERENCE:

• COMMAND CROSS-REFERENCE
• WINDOWS APPS CROSS-REFERENCE
• CONFIGURATION FILE SECTIONS
• PARAMETER DESCRIPTION

This reference contains detailed information about the PCTCP.INI file, the configuration file for OnNet(R)16 for Windows and PC/TCP(R) Network Software for DOS. This reference lists and describes the configuration file sections and the specific parameters in each section. The parameters affect the kernel, InterDrive, DOS commands, and some Windows applications.

Note: This reference documents the parameters used in two products: OnNet16 and PC/TCP. The two products differ in the applications provided and in the kernel. OnNet16 contains mostly Windows applications and provides a VxD kernel. PC/TCP provides mostly DOS commands and a TSR kernel. As a result, some sections and parameters might not apply to one or the other product.

This reference contains four main parts:

1. A "Command Cross-reference." This section provides a list of DOS commands with hyperlinks to the sections of the PCTCP.INI file associated with each command. The link to this section is abbreviated to DOS command links.
2. A "Windows Applications Cross-reference." This section provides a list of Windows applications with hyperlinks to the sections of the PCTCP.INI file associated with each application. The link to this section is abbreviated to Windows apps links.
3. A "List of Configuration File Sections." This is an alphabetical list of the sections that can be contained in the PCTCP.INI file.The link to this section is abbreviated to Config sections links
4. .A "Parameter Descriptions" section. This text describes the parameters that can be used in each of the sections of the PCTCP.INI file. The links in the three lists are to locations in this text. At the end of the description of each PCTCP.INI file section, you will find a set of links to bring you back to the lists at the front of the reference, as illustrated on the following line:

The following list shows each DOS command and the PCTCP.INI configuration file section(s) that contain information used by that command:

Windows Applications Cross-reference

The following list shows which PCTCP.INI configuration file section(s) contain information used by Windows applications:

In addition, many Windows applications use parameters in the [pctcp sessions] section.

List of Configuration File Sections

The PCTCP.INI file can contain the following sections:

Parameter Descriptions

The remainder of this document lists the configuration parameter sections used in the PCTCP.INI file. These parameter sections are listed alphabetically, as are individual parameters within each section. Default values (if any) for parameter options are listed first. For example, in parameter=[off|on], the default is off. The default value (if any) is also indicated at the end of the parameter description. For example, Default: off

[PCTCP ADDRESSES]

This section contains the IP addresses of network servers.

Specifies the fully qualified domain name or IP address of a "quote-of-the-day" server, used by the cookie command.

Specifies the IP address of a domain name server, which maps IP addresses to hostnames. You can define up to three domain name servers.

Specifies the fully qualified domain name or IP address of any IMAGEN print server attached directly to the network. If you set this value, you can use the iprint command without specifying a server on the command line.

Specifies the fully qualified domain name or IP address of any ImPRESS server attached directly to the network.

log-server=hostname|ip_address

Specifies the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the log server. This parameter is included in case you want to use an application that can write error or login information to a file on your server.

Specifies a default remote print server for lpr, lpq, and lprm. If you do not specify a server, you have to specify this value on the command line when you print a file. Note that this is the hostname (or Internet address) of the computer that is running the print server, not the name of the printer that you want to use.

Specifies the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the host that acts as an electronic mail relay within your local network, queuing mail for hosts that cannot be reached immediately.

Specifies the Internet address for sending inquiries using the nicname command. If multiple nicname-server= parameters appear, nicname sends a request to each address in the order listed until a valid response is received.

Specifies the IP addresses of up to three NIS (Network Information System) servers, which map IP addresses to hostnames. If you do not specify a server, NIS requests will be broadcast.

Specifies the fully qualified domain name or IP address of a host acting as the time server in your local network. This parameter is used by the setclock program. You can define as many as five time servers. Each server is tried in the order specified until a valid response is received.

[PCTCP ANSI]

This section contains a parameter that applies to ANSI terminal emulation.

Specifies an alternative IBM PC identifier for tn to use when synchronizing with the remote host for a terminal type. If the terminal information database on the remote host does not contain RFC-standard identifiers, use this parameter to specify an identifier that does exist in the remote host's database. If you are unsure how to get this information, ask the administrator of the remote system.

[PCTCP BOOTP]

This section contains parameters that apply to the DHCP VxD client in Windows and to the dhcp and bootp commands for DOS.

Bootp only. Specifies the name of a file that resides on the server that you can use to configure diskless workstations. Bootp can return the full path of a boot image file. If more than one boot image file exists on a server, this parameter can be used to specify the name of the file to use.

The server returns the name of a file for this parameter, but does not return the file itself. You can use a file transfer program, such as tftp, to transfer the file to the PC. Note that the Bootp protocol does not define the contents of the file.

The bootp command is not used to boot the PC, so this parameter is seldom used; it is provided only to comply with the requirements of the Bootp protocol.

class-id=string

DHCP only. Specifies a string that identifies the class to which the client belongs. A system administrator can choose to group sets of PCs into separate classes, and return different configuration information for each different class.

An example of a class would be all PCs, or all machines belonging to a given department.

client-id=string

DHCP only. Specifies a string that uniquely identifies the PC, such as a username.

This value can be used in place of the MAC address to identify a client configuration so that the same configuration is issued to a client regardless of the MAC address. (This supports the changing of the hardware without reconfiguring the server or assigning the PC client a different IP address.)

By default, the DHCP client uses a client ID based on the MAC address.

DHCP only. Sets the length of the lease requested by the client in seconds. Note that it is the responsibility of the DHCP server to determine the lease duration; a DHCP server might offer a lease time other than that requested by the client, depending on how the server is configured.

Sets the number of attempts to get a response from the server.

Bootp only. Specifies the IP address of the server to which the Bootp client sends its request if the PC's IP address is configured. If the PC's IP address is not configured, the Bootp client broadcasts the request to the network.

Bootp only. Specifies the server name (sname) field of the Bootp request to the specified name. Note that the Bootp client still either broadcasts the request, or sends the request to the server specified by the server-address= parameter or the -d command line option. This parameter is provided to support those Bootp servers that allow only the server named in the Bootp client request to respond; many Bootp servers do not implement this aspect of the Bootp protocol.

Sets the maximum amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a response from a DHCP or Bootp server.

[PCTCP COMSCRPT connection]

This section contains parameters that apply to comscrpt (the DOS modem dialing command) and to Dialer (the Windows dialer application).

Note that comscrpt inserts many of these parameter values into PPPDRV, SLPDRV, PPP16550, and SLP16550.

See also the [pctcp dial] and [pctcp dial connections] sections and the appropriate [pctcp serial connection] section of this reference manual.

Used to reconnect an idle dialup session. If set to YES, dials the last connection whenever the serial VxD kernel receives a send request.

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies the connection type, which can be one of the following:

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies the IP address of a DNS server to use for resolving domain names.

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies the IP address of an alternate DNS server to use for resolving domain names.

Default: 0.0.0.0

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies the IP address of an alternate DNS server to use for resolving domain names.

Default: 0.0.0.0

Specifies the drive, path, and name of a file containing hang-up script commands. For more information, see the keyword= parameter in this section.

Used to disconnect an idle dialup session. Sets the number of seconds to wait after the last network activity before disconnecting the dialup connection. If this parameter and warning-timeout= are not set to 0, the user receives a message warning of the impending disconnection.

keyword=drive:\path\filename

Specifies the drive, path, and name of an alternate or new script file. When you create a script file, you should choose a name that is descriptive of the script function. The keywords dialup and hangup identify the default dialup and hangup scripts. You can specify these keywords as options to the comscrpt command.

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies the password for your account on the remote host.

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies your user name for logging in to a remote host.

Sets the maximum number of Van Jacobsen compression slots allowed.

Default: 16

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies the modem type (in MODEM.INI).

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies the phone number to dial for this network connection.

Specifies the PCTCP.INI file section that describes a particular serial connection. For example, if you set connection to PPP_from_home, comscrpt uses the section [pctcp serial PPP_from_home] to configure the serial port.

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies the serial protocol to use. To communicate with the network using the Serial Line Interface Protocol (SLIP), specify SLIP. To communicate with the network using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), specify PPP.

Windows Dialer application only. Yes or no specifies whether or not Dialer is star data enabled for a cellular connection. Specify n/a for all other connection types. StarDataEnable=yes means the connection goes through the star data modem protocol, and the phone number must have a *3282 prefix. StarDataEnable=no means the call is voice or point-to-point. Use StarDataEnable=GSM for European cellular connections.

Default: n/a

DOS comscrpt command only. Sets the software interrupt.

Range: 0x20 – 0xFF

Windows Dialer application only. Sets the number of seconds a connection can be inactive before terminating the connection.

Specifies if your local host sends compressed packet headers to remote sites. Set vj-compression=auto to instruct the remote host to dynamically determine when to use VJ header compression.

Note: This parameter overrides the vj-compression= parameter in the [pctcp interface n] section.

Specifies if the VJ slot number is compressed. FTP recommends that, in general, you should not set vj-compress-slot=1.

Note:This parameter overrides the vj-slot-id= parameter in the [pctcp interface n] section.

Default: 0

Used to disconnect an idle dialup session. Sets the number of seconds, after a warning message, in which to disconnect the dialup connection. If this parameter and inactivity-timeout= are not set to 0, the user receives a message warning of the impending disconnection.

For PPP serial configurations only:

The following parameters apply only to PPP configurations. Most of the time, you do not need to change them. For more information about these parameters, refer to RFC 1331.

Note: Do not confuse PPP link level authentication with that required at a higher level, such as the login and password prompts required by a UNIX system.

Sets the ACCM (asynchronous control character map) to specify control character values to screen out of the data stream while your local host is receiving and transmitting data.

If your telecommunications equipment attaches a special meaning to a control character value, set the corresponding bit in the map to screen out this hexadecimal character value. Specify value as either a hexadecimal or decimal number. which is then converted to a number in a 32-bit map. Each bit in the 32-bit map corresponds to a control character.

Default: 0x000A0000

DOS comscrpt command only. Specifies if address and control field compression is enabled or disabled.

If set to on, the addr-ctrl-field-comp= parameter omits the PPP packet's address and control fields (each comprising 1 byte). Set address control field compression on to conserve bandwidth and improve throughput. Note that either the local or remote host can have the other enable address control field compression. Normally, you do not need to change this value, except to test your PPP connection.

Default: on

Specifies the name that the remote PPP host requires during link-layer PAP/CHAP user authentication. This parameter is not necessary unless the remote host requires authentication. Some remote hosts use this name as a keyword to determine which local IP address to assign from a pool.

Specifies the local IP address used while the two hosts synchronize addresses.

Note: If you are using PPP, and if the remote host negotiates IP addresses, FTP recommends that you use the default wildcard address of 0.0.0.0. Otherwise (for example, if you are using SLIP or if the remote PPP host does not negotiate IP addresses), you must specify a valid local IP address.

Default: 0.0.0.0

Sets the maximum number of configuration requests that PPP sends before terminating the connection.

Default: 10

Sets the maximum number of timeouts before PPP terminates the connection.

Default: 10

Sets the maximum number of termination requests that PPP sends before terminating the link.

Default: 2

Sets the Maximum Receive Unit (MRU), which indicates the maximum packet length that the local host (your PC) can accept. Your PC will discard frames that exceed this length.

Default: 1500

Specifies the password that the remote PPP host requires during PAP/CHAP authentication. This parameter is not necessary unless the PPP host requires user authentication.

DOS comscrpt command only. Specifies if the PPP driver compresses the protocol field of each frame that it sends.

If set to on, the protocol field in the PPP frame header is compressed from 2 bytes to 1 byte. If set to off, the protocol field is not compressed. You do not normally need to change this value from the default, except to test your PPP connection.

Default: on

DOS comscrpt command only. Specifies the remote IP address used while the two hosts synchronize addresses.

Note: FTP recommends that you use the default wildcard address of 0.0.0.0. If you specify a nonzero IP address, make sure that it matches the IP address specified on the PPP server. If you specify a nonzero remote IP address, make sure that it matches the local IP address specified on the PPP server. Otherwise, IPCP negotiation is likely to fail.

Sets the timeout, in seconds, before PPP resends a configuration request packet because of timeout.

Default: 3

Windows Dialer application only. Specifies if the network service prompts for user authentication and validation information. Enter 1 to indicate yes, and 0 to indicate no, respectively.

Default: 1

[PCTCP CTLAPP]

This section contains parameters that apply to the Server Control application.

Sets the state of the Server Control application when opened. The numbers determine if the application opens minimized or normal, and sets the position and size of the application between sessions. These numbers are automatically set by the Server Control application. Users should not change these values.

Default: 1 5 35 275 200

Specifies if the status bar appears at the bottom of the main window of the Server Control application.

Specifies the type of toolbar that appears under the menu bar in the Server Control application.

[[PCTCP DHCP]

This section identifies parameters that apply to the DHCP VxD.

Note: This section applies to OnNet16 Version 2.5 only.

Specifies whether the DHCP client caches its lease or releases it when the computer is shut down.

Default: yes

Configures the DHCP client to accept only DHCP or only Bootp server responses and reject the other. If set to dhcp, the DHCP client ignores responses from Bootp servers.

Default: Accept either DHCP or Bootp responses.

[PCTCP DIAL]

This section identifies parameters that apply to the Windows Dialer application.

Note: The Dialer application uses this section to save status information about your last connection. This information is generally useful if you need to troubleshoot Dialer connections. For more information about the configuration of your serial interface, see the [pctcp serial connection] and [pctcp interface n] sections of this reference.

Specifies the baud rate setting on your modem.

Specifies if the Dialer application automatically exits when the script has finished executing.

Specifies which PCTCP.INI file section describes this kernel interface. For example, interface=ifcust 0 identifies the [pctcp ifcust 0] section.

Specifies the modem type.

Specifies the port on your PC that you are using for the serial connection.

Specifies the serial protocol to use.

Specifies to display or hide the status bar.

hash-mark-size=number

Sets how often hash marks are displayed by specifying an integer value from 512 to 65536 bytes.

Default: 4096

transfer-timeout=x

Sets the maximum length of time, in seconds, to wait for a network operation to complete before aborting the connection. This releases the Windows FTP client if the network connection is not working or if the server stops responding.

Range: 1-32767
Default: 60

Note: This parameter applies to OnNet16 Version 2.5 only.

[PCTCP FTP-DEFAULT-FIREWALL]

This section specifies the parameters for connecting through a firewall. You can save these parameters as global defaults and reuse them for other sessions that do not have firewall attributes associated with them.

Specifies a style for connecting to a firewall host.

USER after login

Uses the USER command to send the remote hostname and username (on the remote host) to the proxy firewall. The system prompts you to enter the firewall username and firewall password. This is the default FTP setting.

SITE after login

Uses the SITE command to send the remote hostname to the proxy firewall. The system prompts you to enter the firewall username and firewall password.

USER no login

Uses the USER command to send the remote hostname and username (on the remote host) to the proxy firewall. The firewall username and firewall password are not required.

Specifies the hostname or IP address of the firewall host or system.

Specifies the port number for accessing the proxy firewall on the firewall host.

Default: 21

Specifies whether to disable or enable the PASV (passive) mode of communication when the FTP client (your PC) connects to the remote host. Passive mode reverses the direction of the connection establishment, so that the remote host (rather than your PC) selects the connection port and then notifies your PC which port to use to connect to the remote host.

Default: 0 (off)

Specifies a valid username that has permission to transmit data through a proxy firewall to a remote host. The proxy firewall is software on the firewall host that acts on behalf of FTP clients, such as your local PC.

[PCTCP GENERAL]

This section specifies general parameters that are used by several commands and applications.

Specifies domain names; the domain names can be either your local domain or other domains that you access frequently. If you use several servers, you can list this parameter more than once in your PCTCP.INI file. List the domain that you use most frequently first.

Specifies the domain name of your machine. This is the second part of the machine's fully qualified domain name.

Specifies the directory where the SERVICES file, used by Windows Sockets applications, and other general system information files are stored. By default, the SERVICES file is installed in the \ETC directory created under the destination directory you specify during installation (the default is drive:\PCTCP\ETC).

If the pfile= parameter is not set, FTP Server searches for the password filename in this directory.

Specifies your full name. Separate each part of your name by spaces. This name appears in the headers of each electronic mail message that you send using the electronic mail programs.

Specifies the hostname of your machine. A hostname is the first part in the machine's fully qualified domain name. Consult your system administrator to make certain that the hostname is unique in your network's domain.

You can use any combination of letters, numbers, or dashes in this name, with these exceptions: do not use a period, an underscore, or a blank space.

Specifies either DNS (Domain Name System) or NIS (Network Information System) name resolution. Select NIS only if you are in a Sun network environment that uses NIS servers to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.

Specifies the NIS (Network Information System) domain.

Sets the number of seconds to spend attempting to contact an NIS server before trying another configured NIS server.

Default: 8

Specifies the name of your office. OnNet16 and PC/TCP applications do not use this parameter currently. It is included only for your personal records.

Specifies your office telephone number. OnNet16 and PC/TCP applications currently do not use this parameter. It is included only for your personal records.

Specifies the name and location of the password file used by the ftpsrv and passwd programs, as well as the FTP server embedded in the tn and rloginvt commands. This setting overrides the etc-dir= parameter for the purpose of locating the passwd file.

Specifies the abbreviated name of your time zone. Specify est for Eastern Standard Time, cst for Central Standard Time, mst for Mountain Standard Time, or pst for Pacific Standard Time. For information about other time zones, ask your system administrator.

Default: est

Sets the offset, in minutes, from Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) -formerly Greenwich Mean Time. The local time is calculated using this offset value. The following offsets apply to United States users: Hawaii, 600; Pacific Standard Time, 480; Mountain Standard Time, 420; Central Standard Time, 360; Eastern Standard Time, 300. For information about other time zone offsets, ask your system administrator.

Default: 300

Specifies a short form of the user's name, for use as a default with certain commands and applications, such as the FTP, remote shell, and remote copy commands and applications; and the nntp, pcmail, pop2, pop3, and rlogin commands. The user= parameter is typically a login name on a remote host.

[PCTCP IDPRINT print_session]

This section defines characteristics for a specific NFS print connection, also known as a print session. This information is used by the FTP Network Driver in Windows, and, in some cases, by the Idnet menu interface and the idprint command in DOS.

DOS idprint command only. Specifies the username that will appear on the banner page of the printed file. If you specified nobody for the user= parameter, use this parameter to specify your name.

DOS idprint command only. Specifies an optional comment to send with the print job. This parameter is used for debugging and is available only with PCNFSD version 2.

Specifies the local printer port (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4) whose output you are redirecting to the network printer.

DOS idprint command only. Specifies the name of the print spool file on the print server.

Specifies the hostname or IP address of the NFS server that controls the network printer that you want to mount.

DOS idprint command only. Specifies the job identification number for a print file. This parameter is supported by PCNFSD version 2 only.

DOS idprint command only. Specifies if you want to display only the owner's jobs in the print queue. If you specify no, you see all jobs in the print queue. This parameter is supported by PCNFSD version 2 only.

Default: no

Sets the number of copies to print. This parameter is supported by PCNFSD version 2 only.

Default: 1

DOS idprint command only. Specifies printer-specific commands to send to the printer.

Specifies the name of the network printer that you want to mount.

DOS idprint command only. Specifies the position of the print job in the print queue. This parameter is supported by PCNFSD version 2 only.

Sets a timeout period after which InterDrive sends a file to the printer. Ensure that this value allows enough time for an application to format your file for printing. This applies only to DOS applications.

Default: 30

Specifies your username for authentication purposes on the NFS server. To log in without authentication, specify a username of nobody. The remote host does not prompt you for a password and gives you the permissions of an anonymous guest. If you specify ?, InterDrive prompts you for a username. If you specify *, InterDrive sets your username to the default. This parameter is optional.

If you omit a username or leave it blank, InterDrive derives the default username from the first value it finds of the following:

• A username that you set with the idnet command or by logging in with the FTP Software Network Driver
• A user= parameter in the [pctcp idrive] section
• A user= parameter in the [pctcp general] section

If no value is specified with any of these methods, InterDrive sets the username to nobody.

Specifies one or more conditions to signal that you want to send a file to print. Separate multiple condition keywords with commas or spaces. This applies only to DOS applications. The following are valid print_conditions keywords:

• timeout - Print when the specified period has elapsed since the last character arrived at the redirected printer port. Use the timer= parameter to change the default value.
• hotkey - Print when you press Ctrl+RightShift+LeftShift.
• eof - Print when you close the file.
• exit - Print when you exit from the DOS application from which you chose to print the file.

Default: timeout

[PCTCP IDRIVE]

This section contains global InterDrive parameters that apply to all interactions with an NFS server system. When you change a parameter, you must restart InterDrive for the change to take effect. You can override many of the settings in this section with file-system-specific parameters in [pctcp idrive filesys] sections.

Note: If InterDrive is running with an expanded memory manager, it does not use the values of certain entries and sets them to the maximum. Where applicable, these values are indicated with an EMM label beside the default value listed for the parameter. Also, if you are using the InterDrive VxD instead of the TSR, the VxD overrides certain parameters in this section with parameters by the same name in the [pctcp idrive-vxd] section. For your reference, this section indicates parameters that have different VxD values by listing their default VxD values here.

Specifies the type of authentication to use to log in to the NFS file server. To mount file systems as read-only, append /r to the authentication type.

Keywords: pcnfs and pcnfs/r

Default: pcnfs

Specifies whether to use a default username and password for all network connections during an InterDrive session. If set to yes, InterDrive prompts you once for a username and password and uses the information for all subsequent network connections, unless you change the information. This parameter applies to network connections in Windows with the FTP Network Driver, and in DOS with the Idnet menu interface.

Default: yes

Specifies whether InterDrive should dynamically adjust read size, write size, and stream values based on network conditions. If autotuning is off and read-size=, write-size=, and stream= parameters are specified, InterDrive uses the specified values. If autotuning is on, InterDrive uses the specified value an an upper limit, but might adjust them based on the number of successful attempts to get and send data.

Default: yes

Sets the number of seconds that InterDrive stores information about files and directory names in the lookup cache before obtaining fresh information from the server. Setting this parameter to 0 causes InterDrive to cache file information indefinitely. If you load the InterDrive TSR with the -k 0 option, this parameter is disabled. You also can use the idconfig -l command to override this value for an existing InterDrive session. The maximum value is 300.

Range: 0- 300
Default: 15

Specifies if the InterDrive client treats file systems that you connect to as CD-ROM drives. Setting this parameter to yes prevents InterDrive from mapping all of the names on a CD-ROM drive. This parameter is not usually applicable globally; you can set it for a specific file system in a [pctcp idrive filesys] section.

Default: no

Specifies whether the Idnet menu interface prompts for confirmation before completing certain actions.

Default: no

Specifies whether the Idnet menu interface displays detailed messages for debugging purposes.

Default: no

Specifies one or more configured file systems to mount al
