30 Installation
the following instructions, we will assume that the device ID chosen was 4. If you
choose a dierent ID, make sure you replace \4" with the chosen ID b efore typing
any commands that follow.
Connecting the DAT-Link
The next step is to connect the DAT-Link to the computer. Since it is necessary to
unterminate the SCSI bus temp orarily, it is recommended that you shut-down and
turn o the computer before making the connection.
The Options switches on the rear of the DAT-Link should b e set with all switches
down and the SCSI ID switchmust be set as describ ed above. Then connect the
DAT-Link to the computer using the SCSI cable. If the DAT-Link is the last
device on the SCSI bus, b e sure to connect the provided SCSI terminator between
the cable and the DAT-Link 's SCSI connector. Failure to do so can cause problems
with reb o oting the computer. Once it is ho oked up and p owered on you can rebo ot
the computer. If you have trouble reb ooting, verify that the SCSI ID selected on
the DAT-Link was not one that was already in use.
As the computer starts, if you are using ASPI4DOS ,you should see a line similar
to:
Target 4 TCT DAT-Link 1638
This above line shows that the system found the DAT-Link at SCSI ID 4. If you
have congured the DAT-Link with a ID other than 4, you should see the selected
value in the ab ove message.
You can now pro ceed with the software installation in Section 2.6.4 b elow.
Dierences in DOS Implementation
The NetAudio programs describ ed elsewhere is this manual are available under
DOS as individual executables. The usage of these tools diers slightly from that
described elsewhere in this manual. In particular:
 There is no NetAudio server (netaudiod or naserver) under DOS . All client
programs communicate directly with the DAT-Link . Note that this means
that the DAT-Link will always b e in it's default state when a to ol is executed.
This means that programs such as naset and naloaddsp will not have a
lasting eect and are thus ineective.
 The argument to the -u option for each of the NetAudio clients should b e the
SCSI address of the DAT-Link , even though the online help states that the
form should be 'host:unit'.
