Introduction:
=============
The Ethernet NDIS2 Driver for IBM OS2 LAN 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.
Files needed for installing Lan Server 4.0 for OS2
==================================================
PNPND.OS2 The NDIS2 driver for IBM OS2 LAN SERVER.
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.
Installation by using IBM OS2 LAN SERVER Installation utility:
---------------------------------------------------------
Please install the IBM LAN SERVER OS2 driver files following the
procedures as described in the following.
1) Install OS/2 LAN SERVER to HardDisk and install PNP Ethernet
adapter in your system properly.
2) In OS/2 window, Click the "MPTS" icon.
3) The screen will display the IBM Log panel, press "OK".
4) Select "Install" button.
5) Insert the PnP Ethernet driver diskette, specify the driver path
A:\NDIS2 and press <Enter>.
6) When complete above step to load PNPND.OS2 into OS/2 system,then
configure your system.
7) The same step as step 4, select "Configure" button.
8) The screen will display "Configure" dialog box and select "LAN
adapters and protocols" then press "configure" button.
9) The screen will display " LAPS Configuration " dialog box, move
highlight to " ISA Plug and Play Ethernet Adapter"item in"Network
Adapter" window, and select "NetBios" "IEEE802.2" protocol. Press
"OK".
10) Installation is complete now.Reset your PC by turning it off and
on.
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 C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI file, [PNPND_nif] section
to let driver locate the right adapter. And you must set DriverName to be
PNPND$ and PNPND2$ for two different adapters. You can use the diagnostic
program (A:\SETUP.EXE) under DOS prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses
of your adapters.
Configuration Files:
====================
Sample of configuration file:
-----------------------------
File Name: C:\CONFIG.SYS
----------
...
Device=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\PNPND.OS2
...
File Name: C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
----------
...
[IBMLXCFG]
LANDD_nif = LANDD.nif
NETBEUI_nif = NETBEUI.nif
ODI2NDI_nif = ODI2NDI.nif
TCPIP_nif = TCPIP.nif
PNPND_nif = PNPND.nif
...
[LANDD_nif]
DriverName = LANDD$
Bindings = PNPND_nif
ETHERAND_TYPE = "I"
...
[NETBEUI_nif]
DriverName = netbeui$
Bindings = PNPND_nif
ETHERAND_TYPE = "I"

[ODI2NDI_nif]
DriverName = odi2ndi$
Bindings = PNPND_nif
...
[TCPIP_nif]
DriverName = TCPIP$
Bindings = PNPND_nif
[PNPND_nif]
DriverName = PNPND$
IOBASE = 0x0300
INTERRUPT = 5
EARLYRECEIVE = 0
EARLYTRANSMIT = 0
FULLDUPLEX = 0
PNPID = 0
[PNPND_nif]
DriverName = PNPND2$
IOBASE = 0x0320
INTERRUPT = 9
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 keyword or let the value to be
zero (i.e. PNPID = 0) if there is only
one adapter in your system.
EARLYTRANSMIT This keyword is used to enable turbo
transmission mode for accelerating data
transmission.
EARLYRECEIVE This keyword is used to enable turbo
receiption mode for accelerating data
receiption.
FULLDUPLEX This keyword is used to enable full
duplex mode.
Note: For ISA PnP mode, you don't have to define INTERRUPT and IOBASE
in your C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI file, driver will ignore these
values.
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.
