SUMMARY
=======

A white paper on ShivaRemote is located on Microsoft TechNet and can also be
found on the following World Wide Web location:

  http://www.microsoft.com/ExchangeSupport/

ShivaRemote 3.59 can be used with the Microsoft Exchange client to allow users to
remotely access a computer running Microsoft Exchange Server (either through a
computer running Windows NT Server with RAS or Shiva LanRover). This article
shows you how to install and configure the ShivaRemote software that ships with
Microsoft Exchange to work over LanMan NetBEUI version 2.2c.

(For information about setting up Shiva for use over other protocols, see the
Reference section below).

MORE INFORMATION
================

To configure your computer so that you can use ShivaRemote:

1. Install MS-DOS on your computer.

2. Install Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2 Full Redirector (LanMan software is located
  on the Windows NT 3.51 Server compact disc in the Clients\Lanman\disks
  directory).

3. Install Microsoft Windows 3.1.

4. Install Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client.

5. Run the ShivaRemote Setup program from the Microsoft Exchange program group.

6. When ShivaRemote Setup is complete, restart your computer so that the
  configuration changes you made take effect.

7. After your computer restarts, make the following changes to Config.sys and
  Protocol.ini:

  Config.sys:

      DEVICE=C:\SHIVA\DIALNDIS.EXE    <- Add this line.

  Protocol.ini:

  NOTE: The name of the NETBEUI section below may vary. The "T1" entry specifies
  the main NETBEUI time-out value; 8000 specifies 8 seconds.

      [NETBEUI]
      ; BINDINGS = "UBNEITP_NIF"      <- Make this line a comment.
      BINDINGS=SDIALIN$               <- Add this line.
      T1=8000                         <- Add this line.
      [SDIALIN$]                      <- Add this line.
      DriverName=SDIALIN$             <- Add this line.

8. Your computer should be configured for ShivaRemote dial-in. Restart your
  computer again, and watch for error messages as the computer starts.

9. You must log on to the network before starting the Microsoft Exchange client.
  If you are not connected to the network when you log on to the network, LAN
  Manager will display the following message:

  You are logged on, but have not been validated by a server. Therefore, you
  may not have permission to use some network resources.

10. Click OK and proceed.

You can configure LAN Manager to prompt you to log on to the network when you
start Windows.

To configure LAN Manager, use one of the following methods:

- Configure LAN Manager using the Setup program, as follows:

  1. Run the LAN Manager Setup program (Setup.exe) in your LAN Manager
     directory (C:\Lanman.dos).

  2. On the Configuration menu, click Workstation Settings.

  3. In the Workstation Settings dialog box, click OK.

  4. In the Support For Windows Environment dialog box, click Yes and click OK.

  5. In the Windows Directory dialog box, type the directory where Windows is
     installed (by default C:\Windows) and click OK.

  6. In the Memory Management dialog box, choose your memory management
     settings and click OK.

  7. On the LAN Manager menu, click Exit Setup.

  8. Restart your computer.

  -OR-

- Add the following commands to your Autoexec.bat file (or type the commands at
  the MS-DOS prompt):

  net start workstation
  load networking_protocols
  net logon username

  Once you have the above setup, restart and ensure you receive no error
  messages when booting with the newly configured Autoexec.bat and Config.sys.

To install the client:

1. Install the Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client software (run Setup from
  the Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client compact disc or from a sharepoint).
  Select Custom install and verify that Shiva is selected. (Setup will create a
  "ShivaRemote setup" icon in the Microsoft Exchange Program group).

2. If possible, verify a valid Exchange mailbox/account exists while connected
  to the LAN. (Start the Microsoft Exchange client, create a profile and make
  sure you can log on to your mailbox and send a piece of mail to yourself).

To install ShivaRemote:

1. Run "ShivaRemote setup" from the Microsoft Exchange Program group.

2. Click OK to Install ShivaRemote.

3. Select the port and your specific modem manufacturer/model.

4. Specify a Description, Dial-in-Name (NT account that has been granted dial-in
  access on the server), Password (Password for the NT Account you are dialing
  in on), and Phone number.

To connect to the computer running Microsoft Exchange Server:

1. Dial the computer running RAS. (Microsoft Exchange is supported dialing into
  either a computer running Windows NT Server with RAS or a Shiva LanRover.)

2. Once connected, minimize ShivaRemote Connect

3. Start the Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client (online, as a test). Type the
  User Name (Exchange Mailbox Name), the Password (Windows NT Domain Password),
  and the Domain (Windows NT Domain Name that your account is in) and verify
  you can be properly logged on.

  If the above step allows you to properly send/receive mail, Shiva and
  Microsoft Exchange are configured correctly.

The Microsoft Exchange client remote capabilities can now be configured (remote
mail or off-line folders).

To setup the Microsoft Exchange client to automatically dial while working
offline :

1. In Control Panel/Mail-Fax, select the properties for Exchange Server in the
  profile and on the "dial up networking" tab

2. Select the Shiva connection name that was tested in step 1 under "dial using
  the following connection."

3. Type the user name, password, and domain name in the dialog box.

You can start the Microsoft Exchange client offline and select either the "remote
mail/connect" or "sync this folder" check box. Shiva will dial and transmit
necessary information (depending on whether off-line folders [.ost files] or
.pst files are being used).
