## SUMMARY

Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 allows use of either (or both) the TP0/X.25, TP4/CLNP transports. This article explains how to set up the TP0/X.25 transport in the EiconCard Server mode.

## MORE INFORMATION

With this configuration, the EiconCard and OSI LAN Gateway software are both installed on a PC. This PC, acting as an EiconCard server, is used to run the X.400 gateway. The EiconCard is also shared out for other systems to use the EiconCard Redirector to connect to the EiconCard.
To use this configuration:

- On the Gateway PC, install the EiconCard and the OSI LAN Gateway DOS GATEWAY software.
- In the Gateway PC, modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set up the computer as an EiconCard server.

The following example shows part of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for a Gateway PC that is an EiconCard server, servicing other redirector PCs on a Microsoft Compatible Network.
X25serv is the server name, MYPASS is the server password, and 12 is the maximum number of workstation sessions.

REM Starting LAN Manager
NET START ...
REM Starting X.25
NABIOS SRV x25serv MYPASS/12
ECLOAD

On a Novell NetWare Network using Microsoft MS-DOS version 5.0 is installed and NetBIOS is to be run.

REM Starting Novell with NETBIOS emulation
IPX
NET5
NETBIOS
REM Starting X.25
NABIOS SRV x25serv MYPASS/12
ECLOAD

Here is an example showing the same configuration, except that NetBIOS is not present:

REM Starting Novell without NetBIOS emulation
IPX
NET5
REM Starting X.25
NABIOS SPX SRV x25serv MYPASS/12
ECLOAD
