12.7 Updating Remote Access

To update Remote Access, you must first follow the backup process, then reinstall LAN Distance. Finally, restore the files that the system has previously backed up.

To do so, go through the following steps:

• Type LDREMOVE from your OS/2 screen, and press Enter.

• After being prompted with a Welcome panel, select OK.

The Remove LAN Distance Panel appears as shown in Figure 80.

• Select Archive configuration files, then select Remove.

The uninstall process will take a few minutes to remove LAN Distance and backup the configuration files.

• When the process has ended you must reboot your system to make all changes effective.

The files that are now saved in your WAL\BACKUP directory are:

• WCLNET.INI

• WCLLOCAL.INI

• WCBUSRF.ISF

• WCLDIAL.CXD (Phone Book Information)

• PROTOCOL.INI will be copied in \WAL\PROTOCOL.WAL

• CONFIG.SYS as CONFIG.WAL

• PROTOCOL.LPS (Configuration for the LAN Distance Remote workstation when configured for a LAN-attached environment).

• PROTOCOL.RWS (Configuration for the LAN Distance Remote workstation when configured for a LAN Distance Remote environments).

Note:
If your workstation has more than one partition, we suggest that you copy the Remote Access configuration files immediately to a different partition, so they will not be lost during the partition format.

When restoring the Remote Access Server, you must copy the files that are under \WAL\BACKUP to the \WAL directory, and reboot your system to make the changes effective.

To update the product, a new installation is required. To do this you must follow the installation procedure described in Chapter 8. Remote Access.
