Introduction:
=============
The Ethernet NDIS2 Driver for LAN MANAGER OS2 Server confirms to the
Network Driver Interface Specification(NDIS2). This document shows you how
to setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the
custom keywords in configuration file.
Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================
LMOS2.TXT This file.
PNPND.OS2 The NDIS2 driver for LAN MANAGER OS2 Server.
PROTOCOL.INI Sample protocol.ini file.
..\..\NIF\PNPND.NIF The installation information file.
Installation:
=============
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
(A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.
Installing driver procedure on LAN MANAGER OS2 Server:
-----------------------------------------------------------
1) If you install LAN Manager for the first time, you Install LAN Manager
to your HardDisk by running SETUP.EXE program from the setup diskette.
Upon completion of the workstation's last disk installation, you will
be asked if you want to import additional network drivers.Answer "YES".
If you have already installed LAN Manager in your hard disk, run
SETUP.EXE from HardDisk and select "Actions"->"Import Network Driver"
option.
2) Insert the NDIS2 driver diskette into drive 'A'and follow the steps on
the screen . Select the "ISA Plug&Play EtherNet Adapter" card and
press "ENTER", then SETUP.EXE program will copy the necessary NDIS2
driver programs from the driver diskette to your hard disk , according
to LAN MANAGER file structure.
3) Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
NOTE:
-----
Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to
use the keyword, PNPID, in PROTOCOL.INI file at LAN MANAGER directory
to let driver locate the right adapter. You can run A:\SETUP.EXE under
DOS prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.
Configuration Files:
====================
Sample of configuration file:

DriverName = PNPND$
Iobase = 0x0300
Interrupt = 5
EARLYRECEIVE = 0
EARLYTRANSMIT = 0
FULLDUPLEX = 0
PNPID = 0
Custom Keywords:
----------------
PNPID="hhhhhhhhhhhh" This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
the adapter you want to drive. If there
are more than one ethernet adapters in
your system , you have to use this
keyword to let driver locate the right
adapter. However, you don't have to use
this property or let the value to be
zero (i.e. PNPID=0) if there is only
one adapter in your system.
Note: Please remember to enter the
double quotes.
EARLYTRANSMIT This keyword is used to enable turbo
transmission mode for accelerating data
transmission.
EARLYRECEIVE This keyword is used to enable turbo
transmission mode for accelerating data
receiption.
FULLDUPLEX This keyword is used to enable full
duplex mode.
Note:For ISA PnP mode,the IOBASE and INTERRUPT keywords are ignored
in your PROTOCOL.INI file.
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.
