SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2)
NDIS2 DRIVER FOR LAN SERVER INSTALLATION
Contents:
1. Enable the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) under MS-DOS
2. IBM DOS LAN Support Program (LSP) 1.3 Installation
3. IBM DOS LAN Services 4.0 DOS Client Installation
1. Enable the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) under MS-DOS
SMCOPEN.EXE is the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) MS-DOS enabler program. You have
to run SMCOPEN.EXE to enable SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) before bringing up
the MS-DOS NDIS2 driver.
At MS-DOS initialization, the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) NDIS2 driver is loaded by
a line similar to the following in the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\LSP\SMC80412.DOS
You must specify a line in CONFIG.SYS to load SMCOPEN.EXE to enable
the adapter before the NDIS2 driver is loaded.
The syntax to load SMCOPEN.EXE in CONFIG.SYS is:
DEVICE=C:\LSP\SMCOPEN.EXE [/IRQ:x][/IOP:xxx]
* IRQ - interrupt (IRQ) number to be used by SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2).
This number must not be in use by any other device
in the system.
* IOP - Starting I/O port address in HEX format. SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2)
requires 32 consecutive free I/O port addresses.
The default value for IRQ is 3. The default value for IOP is
0x300.
Example: The following command enables SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) with IRQ 5 and
I/O port address 300:
DEVICE=C:\LSP\SMCOPEN.EXE /IRQ:5 /IOP:300
If you installed EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS, please exclude memory
address range D000-DFFF or D400-D7FF from EMM386.EXE. SMCOPEN.EXE
uses this 64K bytes of memory space to read information stored on
the adapter.
[Example]
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D400-D7FF
or
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
2. IBM DOS LAN Support Program (LSP) 1.3 Installation

7. Wait until the "Installation complete" information window appears.
This completes the LSP installation.
8. Copy the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) enabler program SMCOPEN.EXE from the
\ENABLER directory on the Driver Floppy directory
on the hard disk, and specify a line in CONFIG.SYS to load
SMCOPEN.EXE as described in the first section of this file.
9. Use a text editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file. Specify at least
20 files in the "FILES=" line as in the following:
FILES=20
10. Save the configuration and restart your computer.
11. Insert the DOS LAN Services Install Diskette into your floppy drive.
12. Type the following and press <Enter>:
INSTALL <Enter>
13. The IBM logo appears. Press <Enter> to move to the next screen.
14. When prompted for the DOS LAN Requestor directory, enter
C:\DOSLAN. C: is the hard drive where you intend to install the
LAN Requestor.
15. The program will prompt you for the services that you want to
install.
16. Highlight the appropriate option. Select either "Send messages" or
the "Send, View, Edit, and Log message" option.
17. Specify the PC's ID and domain ID. The domain ID is the domain
server ID. It should be the same for all workstations of the network.
18. Follow the prompts to complete installation.
19. Reboot the machine.
