6. In the NetWare Configuration screen that appears after the installation is complete, press ESC twice, and then press ENTER to exit the NetWare Configuration program.

7. Insert the floppy disk with the files for Patch 2 for the GroupWise version 4.1 API for Netware Loadable Module (NLM) into drive A, and then, on the NetWare System Console, type load A:\PINSTALL.NLM and press ENTER.

8. In the API Gateway Installation screen, ensure that the settings Domain Path, Gateway Directory, Gateway NLMs, Shared NLMs, and Load Script match your API Gateway configuration. Select Install and press ENTER. A message box appears notifying you that NGWAPI.PRM already exists and will be moved to the \SAVE directory. Press ENTER to continue and install the gateway files. The installation completes automatically.

9. At the System Console, type edit and press ENTER, and then, in the NetWare Text Editor, specify the path and file name for the gateway's NGWAPI.PRM file (for example, SYS:\API41\NGWAPI.PRM), and then press ENTER again.

10. Scroll down to the line beginning with /Home- and ensure that it points to the gateway directory (for example, /Home-SYS:\Public\Grpwise\Domain\Wpgate\API41). In an installation without Patch 2 for API NLM, you must correct the default /Home- line manually.

11. Find the line beginning with ;/Group and remove the semicolon in front of it to activate the inbound group expansion.

12. Press ESC. When you are prompted to save the changes, select Yes, and then press ENTER.

13. Press ESC and ENTER to exit the text editor.
