Instructions for using the Novell(R) BorderManager
Monitoring and Logging Utility for NetWare Administrator

1. Run the installation program for Novell BorderManager

2. Run NWADMIN95.EXE 

3. Select an server that has the Novell BorderManager loaded and
   running

4. Pull down the TOOLS menu of NetWare Administrator and 
   select Novell BorderManager.  If the menu is grayed-out 
   then ensure the  selected server is running Novell BorderManager

5. Observe the menu changes and becomes Novell BorderManager menu

Other information:

1. In most of the windows, right-clicking the mouse button bring up 
   a menu that contains additional commands.

   -  If an internet browser (such as Netscape or Internet Explorer)
      is installed on the system, you can right-click on a selected 
      item in the table and select Connect to go directly to the 
      webpage of that hostname.  The Connect menu command is grayed 
      if the program could not locate the browser on the system.

   -  If the system has IP and DNS set up correctly, you can query 
      DNS hostname for either Username or Hostname that has an IP 
      address.  This action can take awhile if there is no DNS 
      hostname for that IP address. The "Who is..." menu command 
      is available only when the Username contains an IP address.  
      Similarly, the "DNS hostname" menu item is enabled if the 
      Hostname field is an IP address.

2. You can also double click on the column header to sort the data 
   in the column.  Double-clicking on the same column again reverses 
   the sort order.  This feature is provided so that you can group 
   items in the column and locate them quickly.


3. Instead of requesting information from the server, you can take 
   advantage of the "automatic-update" feature in the Information Log,
   SYS$LOG.ERR, Proxy Common Log and Proxy Extended Log by placing 
   the cursor at the end of the text in the information displaying 
   area.  If the cursor remains at the "end of file" location for 
   more than 5 seconds, the latest data from the server will be pushed 
   to the screen allowing you to view the most up-to-date information.

4. When requesting a large number of records from the server, you 
   can cancel the request by simply clicking on the Cancel button.
   You will be asked to comfirm your decision.
