   LAN Manager Workstation/Server

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to setup Microsoft LAN Manager
   Workstation/Server driver for AcerLAN ALN-315 10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet
   Adapter.

   Location of Driver: \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\ALN315\ALN315.DOS


   Sample Configuration Files:
   ---------------------------
      CONFIG.SYS :

          DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS
          DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\ALN315\ALN315.DOS

      PROTOCOL.INI (will contain):

         [ALN315_NIF]
         ; ALN315 RPOTOCOL.INI SAMPLE
         DriverName = ALN315$
         Slot = 16           ;; {16-26}
         SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
        ; {SIA_Mode = TP, TP_FULL_DUPLEX, AUTODETECT}
         DATA_RATE = MB100  ;; {MB10, MB100}

   Setup Procedures:
   -----------------
      Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the
      adapter  is properly  installed and  configured.  Make  sure  your
      Microsoft LAN Manager is properly installed.

      1. Run the appropriate Microsoft Lan Manager SETUP for computer you
         are setting up. Select "Configuration" item ,select the
         <Other Driver> item (the AcerLAN driver isn't included on the
         LAN Manager disk) and insert the AcerLAN driver disk,specify the
         drive name of the driver disk (don't specify the path name),
         and follow the directions.

      2. When completed, reboot your computer .


   NOTES:
   ------

      1. Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:

          Slot  :
              This parameter specifies which network adapter is used by the
              driver. If you have only one AcerLAN ALN-315  10/100 Base-TX
              Fast Ethernet Adapter in your machine, this parameter is
              unnecessary!!  For two or more 32-bit PCI LAN cards, this
              parameters is required and cannot be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI.
              The slot ID. for the first LAN card is 16, for the second is
              17, and 18 for the  third, etc.  Default value is 16.

          SIA_Mode :
              This parameter specifies the physical media that the LAN card
              is attached.  The keyword AUTODETECT means driver will auto
              sense the physical media during card initialization.  TP means
              twisted-pair (RJ-45 or 10BaseT). If you want to enable full
              duplex function of the LAN card, you have to choose
              TP_FULL_DUPLEX as the medium type. The default value is
              AUTODETECT.

          DATA_RATE :
              This parameter specifies the line speed for AcerLAN ALN-315
              10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet Adapter card.  This adapter
              supports two transmittion rates, 10Mbps & 100Mbps. The keywords
              for different transmittion rates are  MB10 and MB100,respectively.
              This parameters is meaningless for 10M PCI Ethernet card and
              cannot be set  if Sia_Mode is AUTODETECT.
              The default value is MB100.


      2. Sample PROTOCOL.INI for LAN Manager:

           [PROTMAN]
           DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
           DYNAMIC = YES
           PRIORITY = NETBEUI

           [NETBEUI_XIF]
           Drivername = netbeui$
           SESSIONS = 6
           NCBS = 12
           BINDINGS = "ALN315_NIF"
           LANABASE = 0

           [ALN315_NIF]
           ;
           ; ALN315 PROTOCOL.INI Sample Adapter
           ;
           DriverName = ALN315$
           Slot = 16
              ;; {16-26}
           SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
          ; {SIA_Mode = TP, TP_FULL_DUPLEX, AUTODETECT}
           DATA_RATE = MB100
                   ;; {MB10, MB100}
