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

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
