Administrator's Setup Procedure

KEA! can be installed by the administrator in two ways. It can be "pre-installed" for subsequent final end user installation. This is called the administrative setup. Or it can be installed as a runable end user installation.

When the administrative setup procedure is used, a second step, the end user installation, must be performed before KEA! will run.

The purpose of the administrative setup is to allow system administrators to prepare for the type of end user environment expected and to preset some of the registration information for the end user.

During administrative setup, the KEA! serial number and the organization must be entered. The user name can either be entered during administrative setup or left blank now, and entered by the user during the end user setup.

The registration information entered during the administrative setup is displayed during the end user setup, but cannot be changed at that time. For example, the administrator typically enters only the serial number and company name (Organization), and leaves the user name blank. End users then enter only their own names, and can view the serial number and organization.

If you are a system administrator installing KEA! on a file server for later installation by end users, choose Administrative Setup. Otherwise, choose End-User Install.


Administrative Setup Options

There are three basic administrative setup options. Which is used determines how the end user can install and run KEA!. With all of the options, KEA! is loaded from the distribution disks onto a network disk for later installation by end users.

The options relate to where KEA! will reside and be accessed from when it is run by the end user. If it is to be run from a shared network directory (that is, one copy on the network and accessed by all users), the shared installation option should be selected. If the end users will be installing on their own private disk space (on their personal computer or on the network), the private installation option should be selected. If both options are possible for the intended group of users, the end-user selectable option should be selected.

Shared Installation

Shared installation means that KEA! and its components are installed and made runable in a shared network directory. When the end user installs, only a few required files are transferred to the personal computer. Most files remain on the network and are shared by all end users.

Private Installation

Private installation means that all KEA! files are copied to the network, but not made runable. The files on the network are a copy of the distribution disks. The runable files are installed on disk space made available by an end user and used only by that end user.

End User Selectable

This option is used when the intended end users require both the above (shared and private) installation types. If this option is selected, the end users are prompted for the type of installation to use during their installation.


License Requirements

If you are licensed to use this software on only one system, but you want to run it on more than one system, you require licenses for the additional systems. For information on obtaining additional licenses, please contact your dealer.


End User Setup Options

Your system administrator has partially set up KEA! for you. You can choose to run KEA! from a shared network directory or install it on your own private disk space. If you anticipate disconnecting your computer from the network, you should use the "private disk" method.

Shared Installation

Shared installation means that KEA! and its components have been installed and made runable in a shared network directory. When you (the end user) install, only a few required files are transferred to your personal computer. Most files remain on the network and are shared by all end users.

Private Installation

Private installation means that the distribution files have been copied to the network, but not made runable. When you (the end user) install, it is as if you are installing directly from distribution disks. The runable files are installed on your own disk space.


Registration Information

You are requested to enter some pertinent information during Setup. This includes the user's name, the company or organization, and the product serial number. This information should be entered accurately because it is recorded in the About dialog box on the Help menu.


The LAT Dialog Box

Novell NetWare for LAT (NetWare for DEC Access)

If Novell's NetWare for LAT is available on your network, you do not need LAT protocol software installed on your personal computer. Instead, the LAT software resides completely in the NetWare for LAT server. When you select NetWare for LAT during setup, the following component is installed in the KEA! directory:

KEANWL.EXE


The Directories Dialog Box

This dialog box allows you to change the install source and target directories. The source directory defaults to the same directory as where the setup program is located. Setup prompts you to insert a disk if it can't find the required files in the location you have specified.

Install disks

Change the install source directory, or accept the default provided.

Target directory

Type the drive and directory where you want KEA! installed.


The View Changes Dialog Box

You are presented with all the changes to existing files as well as all new files that are created as part of the installation.

You can accept the changes to your existing files, in which case the files are modified and the original files kept with an .OLD extension. You can discard the changes, and your existing files are not changed. This results in an incomplete installation, and you must complete the installation (manually, at a later time) before attempting to use KEA!.

The installation creates a log file called KEASETUP.LOG, which provides details on all the files that have been added to or changed. If you select to discard the changes at this time, the information you need to manually complete the installation is contained in this log file.

After you have viewed these files, the installation is completed and a new Program Group created, containing the KEA! icon, an Installation Log icon, and a Release Notes icon. You can drag these icons to other program groups if you wish.

Be sure to examine the installation log (use the "Installation Log" icon provided) to determine if there were any errors, or any other installation procedures that you might have to execute manually to complete the installation. The README.HLP file contains important information not provided elsewhere. Use the "Release Notes" icon to read this information, if you have not already done so.

Please complete the Registration Card included with your package, and mail it to Attachmate as soon as you install your software. This ensures that you receive information about upgrades and new versions of KEA!.
