NDIS2 Driver Installation for LAN Manager for DOS & OS/2
========================================================
Introduction
------------
This directory contains the following files for installing the
Ethernet adapters on a LAN Manager DOS workstation, LAN Manager OS/2
workstation or server with the associated NDIS compliant network
device driver.
The directories of mslanman.dos and mslanman.os2 have been prepared
properly for LAN Manager installation.
Install the adapter on an MS-DOS LAN Manager workstation
--------------------------------------------------------
1. LAN Manager new installation
----------------------------
a. Start the computer and access the MS-DOS command line.
b. Insert LAN Manager DOS Setup disk into disk drive A:.
c. Start the Setup program by typing
setup
d. Follow the on-screen instructions until "Select Available
Network Drives:" message appears.
- select <Other Driver>.
- insert the adapter's driver diskette into drive A:.
- type the drive name A: ; type the drive where
the driver working
diskette is inserted
- when a list of the ET32/P series Ethernet Adapters
appears on the screen, select
one that matches your adapter for the installation.
- follow the on-screen instructions for the rest
installation procedure.
If your computer already has LAN Manager software installed
-----------------------------------------------------------
a. Make the LAN Manager directory the current directory.
For example, if the LAN Manager software is installed
in C:\LANMAN, you would type
c:
cd \lanman
b. Execute LAN Manager Setup program. You would type
setup
- select Configuration ; Press <Alt>+C
- select Network Drivers ; Select network driver
configuration
- select <Remove Config> ; Remove current network
driver configuration
- select <Add New Config> ; Standard driver list
appears.
- select <Other Driver>
- type the drive name ; type the drive where
the DOS driver working
diskette is inserted
- when a list of the ET32/P series Ethernet Adapters
appears on the screen, select one
that matches the adapter for your installation.
- Review or change the other configuration for your
workstation
2. The PROTOCOL.INI together with the driver is a text file containing
hardware configuration data for the network adapter. The following
table summarizes the possible entries and values for each section
name in PROTOCOL.INI.
[ET32ND_NIF]
DriverName = ET32ND$
; SELECTEDID = '0040F6000001'
Install the adapters in one LAN Manager OS/2 server or workstation
------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation procedure for LAN Manager OS/2 is very similar to
that for MS-DOS LAN Manager installation.
Start LAN Manager Setup program, then follow the same procedure as
that for MS-DOS LAN Manager.
Install Multiple Adapters in one LAN Manager OS/2 server or workstation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You may install multiple adapters (four at maximum) in one
system for your OS/2 LAN Manager. You must select the driver
the times equal to the number of adapters installed, during
running LAN Manager Setup program.
After installation for multiple adapters, the master PROTOCOL.INI
in LAN Manager directory will be configured as the following
example:
PROTOCOL.INI Example ( for example, three ET32/P adapters
are installed and the Node ID of each adapter are '0040F6000001'
,'0040F6000002', and '0040F6000003' respectively. The node ID can
be obtained for each adapter by running the SETUP program supplied
in the adapter's driver diskette.)
.
.
[ET32P_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = ET32P$
SELECTEDID = '0040F6000001'
[ET32P_NIF2]
DRIVERNAME = ET32P$
SELECTEDID = '0040F6000002'
[ET32P_NIF3]
DRIVERNAME = ET32P$
SELECTEDID = '0040F6000003'
.
.
In regard to CONFIG.SYS, you will find the file contains only one
DEVICE line for ET32ND.OS2 instead of three as shown in the following
example.
CONFIG.SYS Example
.
.
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\ET32P\ET32ND.OS2
.
.
Technical Note
--------------
The Microsoft LAN Manager installation will try to modify the
CONFIG.SYS to contain the following line to include its EMM386.EXE:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\DOSUTILS\EMM386.EXE NoEMS
However, this copy of EMM386.EXE has the compatibility problem with
some PCI bus system. Please refer to the PCI&EMM.DOC file included in
this driver diskette for details.
A change in CONFIG.SYS to include the MS-DOS V6.22 EMM386.EXE is
necessary, if you are going to use the ET32/Px PCI Ethernet adapter in
a PCI system. Please modify the above line to include the new
EMM386.EXE from MS-DOS V6.22.
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NoEMS
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.
