ID Number: 10113 Title: How do I create more than 15 instances of the same adapter?


Summary:
Changes need to be done if more than 15 adapters need to be configured in TotalRoam.

Symptoms:
Create another adapter name in the registry and after the 15th adapter is created under the first adapter name, create the next instances under the second adapter name.

Workaround:


1. Close the TotalRoam Management Console
2. Stop the TotalRoam Service
3. Launch "regedit"
4. Export the desired root branch (Universal IP in this example)

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Padcom\TotalRoam\NetworkAdapters\Universal IP]" branch to "CreateUIPs.reg" file.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Padcom\TotalRoam\NetworkAdapters\Universal IP]
"GatewayFormat"=dword:00000001
"DefaultRouteRegTimeout"=dword:00001388
"WirelessNetwork"=dword:00000001
"DefaultMTU"=dword:000005ba
"ControlName"="UniversalIPNetworkAdapter.UniversalIPAdapter.1"
"DefaultParameters"="Mode_Type103=Link Status Mode Adapter_Name003=None Associated_IP_Address003= Local_Port000=0 In_Range_Check_Retries100=2 Out_Of_Range_Check_Retries100=1 Status_Check_Interval104=1000"
"SystemAdapter"=dword:00000000
"DefaultCompressionEnabled"=dword:00000000
"HasIP"=dword:00000001

5. Edit "CreateUIPs.reg" file and copy entire section the number of times equal to the desired number of instances of Univesal IP Adapter roots. Note the uniqueness of the name Universal IP by adding a numeric increment equaling the number of times you want to repeat this process. Each occurrence supports 16 more Universal IP adapters.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Padcom\TotalRoam\NetworkAdapters\Universal IP]
"GatewayFormat"=dword:00000001
"DefaultRouteRegTimeout"=dword:00001388
"WirelessNetwork"=dword:00000001
"DefaultMTU"=dword:000005ba
"ControlName"="UniversalIPNetworkAdapter.UniversalIPAdapter.1"
"DefaultParameters"="Mode_Type103=Link Status Mode Adapter_Name003=None Associated_IP_Address003= Local_Port000=0 In_Range_Check_Retries100=2 Out_Of_Range_Check_Retries100=1 Status_Check_Interval104=1000"
"SystemAdapter"=dword:00000000
"DefaultCompressionEnabled"=dword:00000000
"HasIP"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Padcom\TotalRoam\NetworkAdapters\Universal IP2]
"GatewayFormat"=dword:00000001
"DefaultRouteRegTimeout"=dword:00001388
"WirelessNetwork"=dword:00000001
"DefaultMTU"=dword:000005ba
"ControlName"="UniversalIPNetworkAdapter.UniversalIPAdapter.1"
"DefaultParameters"="Mode_Type103=Link Status Mode Adapter_Name003=None Associated_IP_Address003= Local_Port000=0 In_Range_Check_Retries100=2 Out_Of_Range_Check_Retries100=1 Status_Check_Interval104=1000"
"SystemAdapter"=dword:00000000
"DefaultCompressionEnabled"=dword:00000000
"HasIP"=dword:00000001

6. Save the CreateUIP's file.
7. Launch the CreateUIP's file to add the new instances of Universal IP(x) to the TotalRoam Configuration (Registry).
8. Launch the TotalRoam Management Console and confirm that the TotalRoam Configuration | Network Adapters | Transport Adapters shows 2 Universal IP options. (ie. Universal IP, and Universal IP2)
9. Start the TotalRoam service.
10. Create the desired instances of Universal IP adapters.



Applies To:
Configuration of all adapters if more than 15 instances are needed.
