Novell NetWare
Overview
VS-Link for Novell (AIOVS1.NLM) is a NetWare Loadable Module™
(NLM™) that provides the software interface between AIO and the
VS1000 virtual server. This includes:
• All enqueuing and dequeuing of serial data.
• Communicating as a protocol stack to an Ethernet II driver.
• Modem control signal functioning (excluding ring indicator).
• Hardware and software flow control.
VS-Link works with the following operating system releases:
Note: VS-Link also supports third-party products such as Computer
Associates
®
FAXserve™ and Funk WanderLink
®
. If you use
such a product you may not need NetWare Connect or MPR; for
more information see your application documentation.
VS-Link can support up to eight VS1000/VS1100 units networked to
one Ethernet adapter in one NetWare server. (All communication is
handled through a single Ethernet II driver, so all VS1000/VS1100
units must be connected to the same Ethernet adapter.) Each VS1000
can support three VS1100 expansion units: different combinations of
VS1000 and VS1100 units can be controlled by a single NetWare
server, provided the total number of units does not exceed 8 and the
total number of serial ports does not exceed 128.
Baud rates from 75 to 230.4 Kbps are supported on all ports. Actual
usable rates may vary, depending on operating system limits.
