[Network]

These settings override the local MonTel.INI settings only if AlwaysUseDefaults = 0 (see above). These are used to set up network wide settings rather than changing them locally. If you are using DEFAULT.INI and AlwaysUseDefaults = 1, the DEFAULT.INI settings AND these settings will be ignored. The network check order will always be 0 which is Netware first.

Please note that by default this section is not present, and that the client uses the same settings, though from the local MONTEL.INI file (in the Windows or WINNT directory).

If you are having problems you may wish to refer to; TROUBLE SHOOT: The Network Server type was changed and now MonTel appears to start and then exits immediately.

NetworkOperatingSystem

Used by: Server

Max length: 32 characters

Example:

NetworkOperatingSystem = "Netware 3.11"

This entry is not currently used, however it is reserved for future use to allow MonTel to take advantage of Network specific features. The LOCAL is a mode used by a stand alone machine, and implies that the system must be DOS. LOCAL is used for testing only.

Note that this entry is the operating system of the NETWORK and NOT the local PC.

The currently supported choices are: "LOCAL" (for none), "Netware 3.1x", "Netware 4.x" , "Netware 5.x", "Windows 9x", "Windows for WorkGroups", "Windows NT 3.1*", "Windows NT 3.5*", "Windows NT 4.*" or "Windows 2000".

DebugShowSettings

Used by: Client.

Example:

DebugShowSettings = 0

Only used for testing. Setting DebugShowSettings=1 will show a message box of the current network settings (before exiting MonTel if they are wrong). Use this to debug network settings.

ExitMontelIfNoNetwork

Used by: Client.

Example:

ExitMontelIfNoNetwork = 0

ExitMontelIfNoNetwork=1, is useful if you have lap tops that frequently disconnect from the network. Setting this to 1, and setting NetworkDisplayUserError=0 will prevent MONTEL from displaying continual errors as it attempts to find the local users call record database on the file server.

NetworkDisplayUserError

Used by: Client.

Example:

NetworkDisplayUserError = 0

Forces an error to be displayed if Montel cannot find a file, drive or the network. This should be set to 0 in an environment where MonTel is used on a network with lap tops.

NetworkCheckOrder

Used by: Client.

Example:

NetworkCheckOrder = 4

The default is 0.

NetworkCheckOrder is a value from 0 to 7 (more may be added in the future). The value determines which networks are checked and in what order if there is more than one to be tested. The values correspond to:

0 MS Client for Netware (or NDS), Novell Client for Netware (or NDS), NT or LAN manager Networks, Windows Peer to Peer, Local Windows.

1 NT or LAN manager Networks, MS Client for Netware (or NDS), Novell Client for Netware (or NDS), Windows Peer to Peer, Local Windows.

2 Windows Peer to Peer, Local Windows, NT or LAN manager Networks, MS Client for Netware (or NDS), Novell Client for Netware (or NDS).

3 MS Client for Netware (or NDS).

4 NT or LAN manager Networks.

5 Windows Peer to Peer, Local Windows.

6 Network User Name always = 'LOCAL'.

7 Novell Client For Netware.

8 Novell Client For NDS.

9 MS Client For NDS.

Values above 2, allow you to specify a particular network type. These settings can also be changed manually by using Notepad.exe to edit the MONTEL.INI file on the Local computers windows directory (typically C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT), if MonTel exit because it can't find the correct network.

UseManualMonTelLogin

Used by: Client.

Version 2.9.0 Pre-release 49 onwards

Range: 0 - 1.

Example:

UseManualMonTelLogin = 0

Setting this option to one will force a prompt to identify the user name (or login). This will override the settings retrieved from the network.

ManualMonTelLoginAllowCancel

Used by: Client.

Version 2.9.0 Pre-release 49 onwards

Range: 0 - 1.

Example:

ManualMonTelLoginAllowCancel = 0

When UseManualMonTel = 1, setting ManualMonTelLoginAllowCancel = 1 will allow users to cancel the login and exit MonTel.
