c. Type in the names of the INTERCHANGE server files. Put each file

name on its own line followed by a hard return:

DTL_KT.EXE
DTL_DF1.EXE
CFG_KT.EXE
CFG_DF1.EXE
RNASTR.EXE
RNA.EXE

Do not close the file at this time.

5 If your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

is not open in your ASCII text editor, then

open it now. If you use the DOS text editor, type:

EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

Your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file contents will appear in the editing window.

6 Locate the line in your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file that begins with the word

PATH

. This is your system’s “Path Statement”, which tells DOS where to

look for executable files when no specific path is otherwise specified.

7 Move to the end of the Path line and insert the complete name for the

directory in which the INTERCHANGE server files were stored. In a
standard installation they are located in

C:\ABIC\BIN

. When you have

finished editing it, your Path Statement will look something like this:

PATH=C:\DOS;C:\APP1;C\APP2;C:\ABIC\BIN

Create CFG_KT.INI File

INTERCHANGE needs to know exactly what hardware you are using, and
how it is configured. It takes that information from a configuration file

(CFG_KT.INI

) you modify to match your own installation.

8 You can edit the file with any ASCII text editor. If you use the DOS text

editor, type:

EDIT C:\ABIC\BIN\CFG_KT.INI

The

CFG.INI

file that installs with INTERCHANGE includes

configurations for numerous cards. Lines preceded by a semicolor (;)
have been commented out. To activate your interface card, edit and
uncomment the appropriate options by removing the semicoloen at the
beginning of the line.

If you are using a card other than the 1770-KF2 to to step 9 below. If you
are using the 1770-KF2 communications interface card skip step 9 below
and go directly to step 10.
