LAN Manager NDIS Driver Installation for Ethernet+Modem PC Card The ETHPCM.DOS driver contained in the \MSLANMAN.DOS directory is used in the LAN Manager environment. This driver conforms to the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) 2.0 defined by Microsoft/3Com. ETHPCM.DOS can be used to enable both the LAN and modem functions of the PC Card. It should be loaded with the CONFIG.SYS file as an MS/DOS device driver. The following keywords are supported in PROTOCOL.INI: [IRQ] Specifies the interrupt (IRQ) value for the LAN function. Keyword Assignment - All legal IRQ values are supported. If the Card Service is installed in the system, the driver will check with the Card Service to see if the IRQ you select is free. If it is, the driver will use this IRQ. If it is not free, the driver will ask the Card Service to assign an available IRQ and use that IRQ instead of the one you choose. If Card Service is not installed, the driver will try to use the IRQ you select regardless whether it is free. In case the IRQ is not free, the driver will not come up, or the system may hang. If Card Service is installed in the system, it is recommended that you do not specify the IRQ value and let the driver assign one for you. If Card Service is not installed, please make sure the IRQ you assign, or the default value (5), is not used by another device in the system. [IOBASE] Specifies the base I/O address for the LAN function. The supported values are: 0x300 (Default value) 0x320 0x340 0x360 The comment about IRQ keyword assignment also applies to the IOBASE parameter. If Card Service is installed in the system, it is recommended that you do not specify the I/O BASE value and let the driver assign one for you. If Card Service in not installed, please make sure the I/O Base you assign, or the default value (0x300), is not used by another device in the system. [COMPORT] Specifies the COM port (COM2, COM3, COM4) for the modem function. The supported values are: 2 (for COM2) 3 (for COM3, default value) 4 (for COM4) The comment about IRQ assignment also applies to the COMPORT parameter. If Card Service is installed in the system, it is recommended that you do not specify the COMPORT value and let the driver assign one for you. If Card Service is not installed, please make sure the COM port you assign, or the default value (3, for COM3), is not used by another device in the system. The following is a sample message displayed by ETHPCM.DOS after it is loaded: The COM PORT is COM3. COMPORT = 0x03E8 COMIRQ = 0x4 IOBASE = 0x0300 IRQ = 0x5 This message indicates the ETHPCM.DOS uses the COM3 port for the modem function. The I/O base address for COM3 is 0x3E8 (hexadecimal), and the IRQ (interrupt) number is 4. Depending on the availability of the COM ports in the machine or user designation, ETHPCM.DOS may display a different COM port other than the one shown in this example. This message also reports for the Ethernet function. The I/O base address is 0x300, and the IRQ (interrupt) is 5. These values are configurable in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Please consult the sample PROTOCOL.INI file in this directory for details. 1. Installation Procedure for LAN Manager V2.0 -------------------------------------------------- a.
