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.
