There is a manual that covers the installation process, plus the release notes installed with SDK. Windows uses tcp sockets, so the protocol is onsoctcp. Install SDK Configure the connection using setnet32. Test using dbping, tcpip, then iconnect and when that is correctly configured set up the ODBC driver and test in dbping or the ODBC driver.
