Entries

NetSetup

This flag indicates whether this was a network setup of SNA Server Client. Valid values are YES or NO.

NosSetup

This string specifies the network operating system for which the SNA Server Client was set up. The NosSetup entry is used only by the setup program; the other SNA programs ignore it.

Valid values for NosSetup are:

LANMAN

NOVELL

TCPIP

VINES

NosType

This string specifies the transport DLL that the WNAP/WDMOD will use when communicating with the SNA server.

Valid values for NosType are:

LANMAN

NETBIOS

NOVELL

TCPIP

VINES

Remote

This is a required keyword in WIN.INI. This string specifies the location of the sponsoring SNA server. The SNA Server Client uses Remote to find a sponsoring SNA server. After the client establishes a "sponsor" connection with one of these SNA servers, it can discover all available SNA resources in the subdomain of which the sponsoring server is a member.

Valid values for Remote depend on the network operating system:

• For BANYAN, Remote specifies a subdomain name. The client searches in the StreetTalk group specified in STGroupName for a sponsoring SNA server configured to use the specified subdomain name.
• For LANMAN and WFW, Remote specifies zero to two server names. If no servers are given, for example, by entering "Remote=", the client looks for a sponsoring SNA server in its own domain. The server names must be of the form \\<nodeName>, and if a backup is specified, it must be separated from the primary by a blank. The Remote entry can also specify a subdomain name. If the value does not start with two backslashes, it is treated as a subdomain name.
• For NETWARE, Remote specifies the subdomain name specified at the SNA server when it is configured to use IPX/SPX transport.
• For TCP, Remote specifies node names, which can be specified as \\<nodeName>, or in Domain Name System (DNS) syntax (<node>.<net>.<org>), or by IP address (<ddd>.<ddd>.<ddd>.<ddd>). The Remote entry can also specify a subdomain name. If the value does not start with two backslashes, it is treated as a subdomain name.

SecureSponsor

This string indicates whether the sponsor connection will be secured with data encryption. Valid values are YES or NO. The default value for this parameter is NO.

StGroupName

This string specifies the StreetTalk group name if using VINES as the network operating system.

WBinPath

This string specifies the location where the client SNA files on the local machine were installed. The default value for this path is C:\SNA.WIN.
