LAN Manager Workstation/Server
AT-2560FX
LAN Manager* 2.2 Workstation/Server installation notes
======================================================
Location of Driver: \NDIS\MSLANMAN.BAT
MSLANMAN.BAT will create the following directory structure on a local
hard drive:
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\A2560\A2560.DOS (DOS NDIS driver)
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\A2560\PROTOCOL.INI
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF\A2560.NIF
\MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\A2560\A2560.OS2 (OS/2 NDIS driver)
\MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\A2560\PROTOCOL.INI
\MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\NIF\A2560.NIF
Sample Configuration Files
--------------------------
CONFIG.SYS (for DOS) will include these lines:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\A2560.DOS
CONFIG.SYS (for OS/2) will include these lines:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN /I:C:\LANMAN
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\A2560.OS2
PROTOCOL.INI will contain these lines:
[A2560_NIF]
; PROTOCOL.INI section for ATI AT-2560 adapters
DRIVERNAME = A2560$
SPEED = 100
FORCEDUPLEX = 2
General Installation
--------------------
1. Create the directory structure needed for the LAN Manager
installation by running the batch file MSLANMAN.BAT. It will create
the directories at the root of the specified drive and copy the
necessary files.
2. Run the appropriate Microsoft LAN Manager setup for the computer you
are setting up (DOS, OS/2 or OS/2 Server). When prompted for the LAN
adapter driver, select "Other Driver" and specify the drive
from step 1. Select the ATI AT-2560 PCI driver and follow the
directions.
3. When completed, reboot your computer in order for changes to take
effect.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1. Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:
DRIVERNAME: (required) If you have a single adapter, use the syntax
in the Sample Configuration file section. If you are installing
multiple adapters, each adapter must have a unique driver name.
Additional instances of the driver would be referenced by
DRIVERNAME=A2560x$, where "x" is a unique number 2 through 9.
SPEED: (required; must be 100) The parameter causes the adapter to
function at the speed indicated.
FORCEDUPLEX: (required) This parameter forces the adapter to operate
in Half or Full Duplex mode. Options for FORCEDUPLEX are 1 (for
half), 2 (for full). [Example: FORCEDUPLEX = 2]
SLOT: (required for multiple adapters) This parameter is optional if
only one adapter is present. If it is specified but is incorrect,
a message indicates that the value doesn't match the configuration
but the driver finds the adapter and loads anyway.
This parameter is required if more than one adapter is present in
either one bus or multiple PCI buses of a system. The parameter
tells the driver which adapter it controls. The SLOT number is the
encoded value of the PCI adapter's device location. To determine
the slot number, load the driver with only the DRIVERNAME parameter
specified. The driver reports all the slots that have PCI
adapter(s) installed. You can determine which card is in which slot
by using SETUP.EXE and matching the Ethernet addresses of the
adapter to the device number specified in View Configuration.
[Example: SLOT=0x1C]
NODE: (optional) This value sets the adapter's Individual Address,
overriding the value read from the adapter EEprom. The address must
consist of 12 hexadecimal digits, enclosed in double quotes. The
value can not be all zeros. The value can not have the Multicast
bit set. So, use only the hexadecimal digits 2, 6, A, or E as the
second digit of the twelve required in the NODE ADDRESS parameter.
Use any hexadecimal digits in all other positions.
[Example: NODE = "02AA00123456"]
2. Sample PROTOCOL.INI for LAN Manager:
[PROTMAN]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
DYNAMIC = YES
PRIORITY = NETBEUI
[NETBEUI_XIF]
Drivername = netbeui$
SESSIONS = 6
NCBS = 12
BINDINGS = "A2560_NIF"
LANABASE = 0
[A2560_NIF]
; PROTOCOL.INI section for the ATI AT-2560 PCI adapter
DRIVERNAME = A2560$
SPEED = 100
FORCEDUPLEX = 2

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.
