Product Specifications Overview -------- Using the IBM ARTIC Support for IP Over X.25 on Windows 2000 (hereafter referred to as IP Support), users of the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems can create client-host WAN connectivity for IP applications using X.25. This software will connect two remote machines via an X.25 network and allow them to use the widely available IP utilities and applications to communicate, instead of forcing X.25 specific application development. Users and applications may use existing Windows 2000 interfaces to ping, ftp, telnet etc. between two remote machines, client or server, without specific X.25 development. The IP Support conforms to RFC1356 and upon installation the user can configure IP addresses and X.25 NUAs in such a way that attempting to send IP datagrams to a configured remote IP address causes a virtual circuit establishment and the subsequent transmission of the application's datagrams. The IP Support is written as an NDIS 5.0-compliant miniport driver.

At this point Windows 2000 will inform you that the device resources could not be detected. Click the "OK" button and then use the information below to enter the settings for the adapter. Read the Guide to Operations to obtain the adapter settings from the switch block on the adapter. You MUST ensure that the adapter switch settings are accurately assigned in the resource screen. On the "Resource Setting" screen, select the first "Input/Output Range" Resource Type option. The value selected should match the I/O value on the adapter. Select the second "Input/Output Range" Resource Type. Initialize this value by examining the interrupt settings for the adapter. Use the following rule: If the interrupt is 2,3,4,7 or 9 then this value should be 02F2-02F7, for any other value select 06F2-06F7. Select the "Interrupt Request" Resource Type. The value selected should match the Interrupt setting on the adapter. Select the "Memory Range" Resource Type. The value selected should be an unused memory range for the adapter's shared memory window. Click the "OK" button. On the "Creating a Forced Configuration" screen, select the "Yes" button. Click the "Next>" button. You will now be presented with a screen warning you of the lack of digital signature for this product. You can safely select "Yes" to continue. The software is now installed and you must restart your computer to continue and configure the X.25 and IP settings for the adapter. Installation of IP Support on the ARTIC X.25 PCI Adapter -------------------------------------------------------- Follow the plug and play instructions and provide the path to the netipx25.inf file when prompted. Configuring the X.25 settings for the adapter --------------------------------------------- To configure the Advanced settings for the IP Support you must run the device manager from the "Settings->Control Panel->System->Hardware" tab.
