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.
    EP312.OS2           The NDIS2 driver for LAN MANAGER OS2 Server.
    PROTOCOL.INI        Sample protocol.ini file.
    ..\..\NIF\EP312.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  "SURECOM EP-312V 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:
    -----------------------------
    (Suppose the Lan Requester package is installed at C:\NET directory)

    File Name:          C:\CONFIG.SYS
    ----------
        DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\EP312.OS2

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

    File Name:          C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
    ----------
        [IBMLXCFG]
           ...
           EP312_nif = EP312.nif
           ...
        [NETBEUI_nif]
           ...
           Bindings = EP312_nif
           ...
        [ODI2NDI_nif]
           ...
           Bindings = EP312_nif
           ...
        [TCPIP_nif]
           ...
           Bindings = EP312_nif
        [EP312_nif]
           DriverName    = EP312$
           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  PnP mode,the IOBASE and INTERRUPT keywords are ignored
                in your PROTOCOL.INI file.
