Appendix A Reinstalling RASExpress
Introduction
The RASExpress software package includes programs for installation on the
CommPlete Communications Server, on client computers, and on remote computers.
RASExpress Server comes pre-installed on all CommPlete Communications Server
RAS96 RASCards. This appendix is a guide to reinstalling and configuring the
RASExpress software, should that become necessary. To configure and manage
RASExpress using Telnet or a browser, see the other chapters of this manual.
The RASExpress server software includes the server program, RASEXP.EXE, the local
configuration utility, RASCON.EXE, and the color utility, SETCOLOR.EXE, which the
system administrator can use to adjust the color of the server screens. All three are
DOS programs.
Reinstalling RASExpress
• The RASExpress Server software must be installed on a hard drive.
•
A client calling into the RASExpress server is referred to as the client PC or as the
user.
• In many cases, you can use the INSERT key to toggle between insert mode and
overwrite mode when editing data in a field. Insert mode lets you insert characters
into a line of text. Overwrite mode lets you replace existing characters with new
characters.
•
HIMEM.SYS must be loaded by the RASExpress server’s CONFIG.SYS file. Make
sure there are no network drivers loaded before you start the installation. We also
recommend removing any reference to SMARTDRV.EXE from the RASExpress
server’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
To reinstall RASExpress on a RASCard
1. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the RASCard.
2. Delete C:\CONFIG.SYS and C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT.
3. To ensure the correct environment for a reinstallation, at the C:\ prompt, type
the following commands:
copy config.000 config.sys
copy autoexec.000 autoexec.bat
4. Reboot the RASCard.
Note: You may alternately restore RASExpress to its factory settings by typing
restore at the C:\ prompt. However, this command will also lose all your custom
settings and user names. To retain your settings, follow the steps in this procedure.
5. Type CD RASEXP.DSK to change to the RASExpress installation directory.
