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.
    PCIND.OS2           The NDIS2 driver for LAN MANAGER OS2 Server.
    PROTOCOL.INI        Sample protocol.ini file.
    ..\..\NIF\PCIND.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 "PCI 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, PCIID, in PROTOCOL.INI file at LAN MANAGER directory to let
      driver locate the right adapter. And you must set DriverName to be
      PCIND$ and PCIND2$ for two different adapters.
      You can run A:\SETUP.EXE under DOS prompt to show all the Ethernet
      addresses of your adapters.


Configuration Files:
====================

    Sample of configuration file:
    -----------------------------
    (Suppose the Lan Requester package is installed at C:\NET directory)

    File Name:          C:\CONFIG.SYS
    ----------
        DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\PCIND.OS2

    File Name:          C:\STARTUP.CMD
    ----------
        NET START SERVER
        @if errorlevel 2 C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\lserr.exe

    File Name:          C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
    ----------
        [IBMLXCFG]
           ...
           PCIND_nif = PCIND.nif
           ...
        [NETBEUI_nif]
           ...
           Bindings = PCIND_nif
           ...
        [ODI2NDI_nif]
           ...
           Bindings = PCIND_nif
           ...
        [TCPIP_nif]
           ...
           Bindings = PCIND_nif
        [PCIND_nif]
           DriverName    = PCIND$
           Iobase        = 0x0300
           Interrupt     = 5
           EARLYRECEIVE  = 0
           EARLYTRANSMIT = 0
           FULLDUPLEX    = 0
           PCIID         = 0
        [PCIND_nif]
           DriverName    = PCIND2$
           Iobase        = 0x0320
           Interrupt     = 9
           EARLYRECEIVE  = 0
           EARLYTRANSMIT = 0
           FULLDUPLEX    = 0
           PCIID         = 0



    Custom Keywords:
    ----------------
        PCIID="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. PCIID=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 PCI mode adapter,the IOBASE and INTERRUPT keywords are ignored
              in your PROTOCOL.INI file.
