 The NDIS-2 drivers contained in the following directories are used
 with 3Com 3+Open, Microsoft OS/2 LAN Manager OEM distribution release
 1.x or 2.x, and other compatible OEM versions of LAN Manager.

    \NDIS2\DOS\HPEIND.DOS
       For DOS clients (and Microsoft Windows 3.x)
       Use the "readme" instructions below.

       For OS/2 clients
       Use the "readme" instructions below.

    \MSLANMAN.DOS\HPEIND.DOS
       For Microsoft LAN Manager DOS clients (and Microsoft Windows 3.x)
       Use the LAN Manager "readme" instructions (\MSLANMAN.DOS\README.TXT).

    \IBMLS\DOS\HPEIND.NIF
       For Microsoft LAN Manager DOS clients (and Microsoft Windows 3.x)
       Use the IBM LAN Server DOS "readme" instructions (\IBMLS\IBMDOS.TXT).

     directories for the specific NOS.)

    These drivers conform to the Network Driver Interface Specification
    (NDIS) defined by Microsoft and 3Com.



 ======================
 VERIFYING INSTALLATION
 ======================

 Under DOS, follow the hardware installation instruction to run the
 SETUP utility on the support disk to verify adapter installation.
 You cannot run SETUP in the OS/2 environment.



 ========================================
 SAMPLE PROTOCOL.INI FILES AND PARAMETERS
 ========================================

 [HPEIND_NIF]			 Default section of PROTOCOL.INI
   drivername = HPEIND$
   ; irq = 3
   ; iobase = 0x300
				 End of sample

 Several parameters are included in the HPEIND_NIF section of
 PROTOCOL.INI.	The "drivername" should always be changed.

 You must also change the command lines "irg = 3" and "iobase = 0x300"
    to match the adapter's hardware configuration only under the
    following circumstances.  In all other cases, they are automatically
    detected by the driver.

    IF more than one HP J3239A ISA adapter is installed, you must
       specify the interrupt (irq = ") and I/O base address ("iobase = ")
       for each adapter.  Use the same settings from the hardware
       configuration of each adapter; you can view the settings in
       HPEISET.

       NOTE: The ISA Plug-and-Play HW configuration of an additional
	     adapter can change the configuration of an existing,
	     working adapter.  Check its HW configuration again, and
	     if changed, reinstall the driver.

    IF you have a non-Plug-and-Play computer, you must specify the
       interrupt (irq = ") and I/O base address ("iobase = ") as
       configured in the hardware configuration for the adapter as
       listed by HPEISET.  If you did not make a note of them when
       configured, now use the "View Configuration" menu item in
       HPEISET to note them.


Parameters:

    irq    Specifies the interrupt channel used by the adapter.
	   Acceptable values are 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12 ,and 15.

    iobase Specifies the hexadecimal I/O base address used by the adapter.
	   Acceptable values are 0x200, 0x220, 0x240, 0x260, 0x280, 0x2a0,
	   0x2c0, 0x2e0, 0x300, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0x380, 0x3a0, 0x3c0,
	   0x3e0

    MaxMultiCast    1-1000    Default 10
	   Maximum number of MultiCast Addresses:  configures the size
	   of the MultiCast Address Table.

    MaxRequests     6-64      Default 8
	   Maximum number of outstanding General Requests:  configures
	   the size of the General Request Queue.

    MaxTransmits    6-64      Default 12
	   Maximum number of outstanding TransmitChain commands:
	   configures the size of the TransmitChain Request Queue.

    ReceiveChains   6-96      Default 12
	   Maximum number of outstanding ReceiveChain commands:
	   configures the size of the ReceiveChain Request Queue.

    ReceiveBuffers  6-96      Default 12
	   Configures the number of the Receive buffers in the Receive
	   Buffer Pool.

    TransmitBufSize 128-1514  Default 1514
	   Configures the size (in bytes) of buffers in the Transmit
	   Buffer Pool.



 ==================================
 TROUBLESHOOTING AND ERROR MESSAGES
 ==================================

 Verify any trouble by first running the diagnostics in the HPEISET
 utility on the support disk.  See the hardware installation
 instructions.


Error Messages
--------------

 "ERROR: Adapter card not found or I/O port error"
    Possible causes:
       1. The adapter is not installed correctly in its slot.
       2. I/O port failure due to incompatibility between computer
	  and adapter
    Solution:  Run "Card Test" in SETUP to determine cause.

 "HPEIND-Error-01: Incorrect Media Setting or Bad Transceiver"
    Possible causes:
       1. Transceiver failure.
       2. Cable broken.
       3. Loose cable connection.
    Solution:  Run "Card Test" in SETUP to determine cause.
