Installation Guide for OS/2 ---------------------------------------- Your eMASTER+ adapter's OS/2 driver supports OS/2 version 1.3 through OS/2 version 3.0 (also known as OS/2 Warp). We do recommend that you use or upgrade to the latest version of OS/2, IBM's OS/2 Warp Connect. IBM's OS/2 Warp Connect contains OS/2 Warp, plus all available protocol stacks and network clients for use with OS/2. If you choose to run an older version of OS/2, you may need to obtain your protocol or client files from third-party sources. Your eMASTER+ OS/2 driver supports connections to all of the following network operating systems: --Novell NetWare --OS/2 Peer client --IBM LAN Server --Windows NT --Windows 95 Follow the instructions below to install the eMASTER+ OS/2 driver using OS/2 Warp Connect. If you are using an older version of OS/2, refer to the installation documentation that came with your OS/2 software. Pre-existing OS/2 Warp Connect Installation ---------------------------------------- Use the following instructions if you already have OS/2 Warp Connect installed on your machine. (If you are installing OS/2 Warp Connect for the first time, go to the "New OS/2 Warp Connect Installation" section below. 1. Double-click the MPTS (Multi-Protocol Transport Services) icon on your desktop. 2. Select "Install." 3. Select "Install Additional Network Drivers," and specify "a:\ndis.os2" as the source. Select "OK." 4. After the OS/2 driver is copied from the diskette, select "OK." 5. Select "Configure." 6. Select "LAN Adapters and Protocols" and then click "Configure." 7. In the LAPS dialog box, under Network Adapters, highlight the Cogent adapter and click "Add." Under Protocols, highlight the desired network protocol(s) and click "Add." 8. You can modify adapter or protocol settings under Current Configuration. To change any settings on the Cogent adapter, highlight the adapter and click "Edit." Optional configuration parameters are described below. SPECIAL NOTE: If you selected "IBM NetWare Requester Support" from the Protocols box, you will need to make the following configuration changes: Highlight "IBM NetWare Requester" in the Current Configuration box and select "Edit." Change the "Token-Ring Support Option" to NO. Next, enable one more of the listed Ethernet frame types by specifying YES in the appropriate boxes. (If you are not sure which frame type(s) are used on your NetWare network, enable all of them). Finally, change the "Network Adapter Address" to the Ethernet address of your Cogent adapter. You can run A:\EMDIAG.EXE from your eMASTER+ diskette at an OS/2 command line prompt, and choose "Configuration Status," to display your adapter's Ethernet address. 9. After making any desired configuration changes, click "OK." 10. Select "Close" from the Configure dialog box. 11. Select "Exit" from the Multi-Protocol Transport Services dialog box. 12. Next, choose "Update CONFIG.SYS" and then select "Exit." 13. Shutdown OS/2 and reboot for your network driver and protocol(s) to take effect. New OS/2 Warp Connect Installation ---------------------------------------- Follow these instructions if you are installing OS/2 Warp Connect for the first time. 1. Follow the general installation instructions provided with OS/2 Warp Connect to begin your installation. 2. During the installation, you will specify the type(s) of networks you are using. 3. After choosing your network type(s), the OS/2 installation program will ask you to specify the type of network adapter you are using. Choose "Other Adapter," and specify "a:\ndis.os2" as the source for the Network Adapter Driver Disk. Select "OK." 4. OS/2 will confirm your choice by displaying a "Drivers Found" message. 5. Specify "Ethernet" as the type of LAN and choose "OK." 6. Choose "OK" twice more to confirm your choice. 7. Continue through the rest of the OS/2 installation, following the on-screen instructions. Editing Driver Parameters ---------------------------------------- You may wish to edit one of the following driver parameters through the "MPTS" program. Full Duplex Ethernet: Default value equals FALSE. To enable Full Duplex Ethernet, change value to TRUE. You will need a Full Duplex Ethernet switch, in addition to your Cogent adapter, to use Full Duplex Ethernet. Intel 430FX PCI Optimization: Default value equals FALSE. If your system uses the Intel 430FX PCI chipset (which includes Intel chips with the following part numbers: 82437FX, 82438FX, 82371FB, 82438FX), set this parameter to TRUE. Other Custom Parameters ---------------------------------------- Several other parameters can be used in the \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI configuration file to customize your eMASTER+ driver. See \README\NDIS.TXT on your eMASTER+ diskette for complete information about all of these parameters.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
