Installing Amanda Software
Running the Installation Program
Install Amanda software only after you have:
 Installed the voice boards.
 (Voice server only) Installed an NE2000-compatible Ethernet LAN 
card.
Follow the installation checklist that is in the chapter that explains how to 
configure the voice boards you use:
 “Chapter 2: Installing RDSP/x32 Boards”
 “Chapter 3: Installing RDSP/RTNI Boards”
If you are installing Amanda as a voice server, have your MS Workgroup 
Add-on for DOS disk at hand.
To start the Amanda installation program:
1. Insert the disk labeled “[email protected]/DOS, Installation Disk 1 
of 5” into a floppy disk drive.
2. From the DOS prompt C:\>, type the command:
A:\INSTALL
(If the disk is in drive B:, use B:\INSTALL B:.)
Then press Enter.

6. You see a screen similar to the following:
                                                                   
   Since this a first time installation, [email protected]/DOS needs to know
   if this system uses Brooktrout RDSP/x32 or RDSP/x000 with RTNI-xATI
   style boards. Make this choice very carefully since this choice is
   PERMANENT!
   Select the Brooktrout board type for this installation from the list.
   Use the arrow keys to make a selection; then press Enter.
              Brooktrout RDSP/x32 style two or four port boards   
              Brooktrout RDSP/x000 with RTNI-xATI style boards    
              I am not sure; stop so I can find out first       
                                                                   
Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate style of Brooktrout voice 
board then press Enter.
7. The next screen asks whether you are installing Amanda as a standalone 
system or as a voice server.

   [email protected]/DOS can be installed as a networked Voice Server,
   integrated with a local area network (LAN), or as a stand-alone system.
   If you elect the Voice Server installation, you must have a properly set
   NE2000 compatible Ethernet LAN adaptor installed in this machine prior to
   installing this software.
   [If you install the LAN adaptor, it MUST be set for IRQ 10 and I/O
   address 340, AND you MUST have your MS WORKGROUP ADD-ON FOR DOS disk]
   Select the type of configuration that you want to be performed.
   Use the arrow keys to make a selection; then press Enter.
    
        No LAN card.  Configure Stand-alone system.                  
        The LAN card is installed.  Configure Voice Server system.   
        Exit.  I need to install the LAN card first.                 
    
                                                                   
If you plan to use Amanda client software to configure Amanda and 
allow users to access messages from their computers as well as their 
telephones, you need to install Amanda as a voice server, select the sec-
ond option “The LAN card is installed. Configure Voice Server system.” 
If you plan to configure Amanda from this computer and allow users to 
access messages only from their telephones, select the first option “No 
LAN card. Configure Stand-alone system.”
8. The next few screens display information about your computer and the 
installation. Follow the directions on the screen. 
If everything is OK, the installation can continue. Otherwise, the instal-
lation stops.
The first screen of the following examples appears only for new installa-
tions. If you are installing Amanda as a standalone system, some screens 
will have less information than the examples.

  Since this is a new installation, a new CONFIG.SYS file will be
  created; you do not need to take any action yourself.

      Your original installation of [email protected]/DOS 7.xx Revision X
      is nearly finished.
      The system will next reboot and the initial memory configuration
      will begin.
      Next, the network portion of the Voice Server will be installed.
      Finally, since this is a new installation, the SETUP program will
      run automatically to create a configuration file with all default
      values for you.  Last, the system will reboot again and Amanda
      will be started.
  REMOVE INSTALLATION DISK 5 of 5 FROM DISK DRIVE.
  Press any key to continue ...
                                                                   
If the installation proceeds, you will be asked to insert each of the five 
installation disks into your floppy disk drive in order. 
						

							Chapter 5: Installing Amanda Software 47
If you selected a networked Voice Server installation, you will also be 
asked to install the MS-NETWORK files required to connect your 
[email protected]/DOS Voice Server to the network. You will be 
asked to remove the disk labeled “Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for 
MS-DOS, Disk 1 - Setup” from its sealed envelope and insert it in your 
floppy disk drive. 
Opening the sealed envelope indicates your acceptance of the Microsoft 
software license terms shown on the inside cover of the User’s Guide 
for Microsoft WORKGROUP ADD-ON MS-DOS included in your pack-
age.
During the installation process, your computer will reboot once or 
twice.
9. Follow the directions on the screens. Eventually, a screen informs you 
that “This completes the installation….”
N
OTE:If this is an upgrade or a reinstallation, the installation pro-
gram does not update your existing CONFIG.SYS file. 
However, it suggests that you change your CONFIG.SYS 
to work better with Amanda. 
It recommends that you reset the DOS environment mem-
ory size to an amount based on the information you provid-
ed about ports during the installation. 
For example, if the program suggests a setting of 346, you 
should add or change the /E parameter in your SHELL 
statement. It might look like the following:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:346 /P
The installation program also suggests that you remove the 
EMS memory limit allocated for your memory manager (if 
that manager is EMM386.EXE). 
For example, suppose the DEVICE statement for 
EMM386.EXE is similar to the following:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 272 …
You remove the 272. The EMS memory limit is the only 
solitary number in the DEVICE statement.
10. Set up Amanda to work with your telephone switching system and 
according to your voice mail preferences.
Use the next few chapters to define dial codes, define tone and integra-
tion patterns, and set Amanda’s configuration options.

Updating Amanda
If you are upgrading Amanda software, the installation screens are somewhat 
different from the new installation described above. Follow the directions on 
the screen, and the installation process should go smoothly.
If the installation program recommends changes to your CONFIG.SYS file, 
you need to make these changes yourself. The installation program does 
NOT create a new CONFIG.SYS file for you because commands you added 
or changed to run your system could be replaced.
If you installed Amanda as a standalone only, change C:\CONFIG.SYS, the 
CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory.
If you installed Amanda as a voice server, make the recommended changes 
to both C:\AMANDA\DOSMODE\CONFIG.SYS and 
C:\AMANDA\NETMODE\CONFIG.SYS. Depending on the mode in which 
you run Amanda, the CONFIG.SYS file (and other files) are copied to the 
root directory (C:\) from either C:\AMANDA\DOSMODE or 
C:\AMANDA\NETMODE. Changing the CONFIG.SYS in the root 
directory only is like not changing the file at all because it will be replaced 
every time you start Amanda.
