Installation Notes for LAN Server 4.0
-----------------------------------

1. Insert the disk labeled "DOS Lan Services Disk 1" into
   drive A:.

2. At the A:\ prompt type "INSTALL"

9. After completing the installation, copy
   A:\NDIS2\FEM556N2.DOS and A:\FMENABLE.EXE from
   Installation Disk 2 to C:\NET or the directory
   chosen in Step 3. 

Edit CONFIG.SYS and add the following lines before
rebooting:

        DEVICE=C:\NET\FMENABLE.EXE
        DEVICE=C:\NET\FEM556N2.DOS

============================================================
Enabling Full Duplex mode
-------------------------

Edit c:\net\protocol.ini, add Full_duplex=yes below the
[IBM$NETBEUI]

NOTE: Do not add this if your network is not configured to
      support Full Duplex. Check with your network manager
      if you are not sure.

============================================================
SYSTEM.INI Information
======================

In order for the modem to function correctly in MS Windows,
add the following commands to your Windows SYSTEM.INI file
under the [386Enh] category: (In case they are not there
already)

 [386Enh]
  COM1Base=3F8
  COM1Irq=4
  COM2Base=2F8
  COM2Irq=3
  COM3Base=3E8
  COM3Irq=4
  COM4Base=2E8
  COM4Irq=3

IBM LAN Server 3.0
------------------

IBM LAN Server 3.0 contains an installer DOS (DXMAID).  The
installation utility fully supports the OEM network adapter
driver import capability.  The following section describes
how to install the driver for DOS.  This version of
Installation Disk 2 does not provide OS/2 support for the
LAN + MODEM card.

DOS Installation
----------------

Run the DXMAID installer from the IBM LAN Support diskette.
Use the defaults from the first menu.  The Process Adapter
Option Diskette box prompts you to enter the drive and path
for the option diskette.  Remove the LAN Support Program
Installation diskette, put Installation Disk 2 in the
drive, and type A:\NDIS2 for the drive and path.  The
installer will pause after it copies the files needed from
Installation Disk 2.  Place the LAN Support diskette back
in the drive, and continue the installation.

============================================================
IBM LAN Server 2.0
------------------

LAN Server 2.0 is not as sophisticated as LAN Server 3.0.
Installation can be done successfully, but manual
intervention is required.  In all cases, the user is
required to edit files.

============================================================
DOS Installation
----------------

Run the DXMAID installer from the LAN Support diskette.
Specify the Ethernet adapter installation from the menu.
When DXMAID is completed, do the following to complete the
installation.

1. Copy the NDIS driver to the hard disk.  Insert
   Installation Disk 2 into the A: drive, then type:

     COPY A:\NDIS2\FEM556N2.DOS C:\LANMAN

2. Enter the LANMAN subdirectory of your hard disk.
     Type:

     CD LANMAN

3. Rename the current PROTOCOL.INI file to save it.
     Type:

     REN PROTOCOL.INI PROTOCOL.OLD

4. Append the PROTOCOL.INI fragment from Installation Disk
   2. Type:

   copy protocol.old + a:\ndis2\protocol.ini protocol.ini

5. Edit the new PROTOCOL.INI file.

   a. Four lines after the line [ETHERNET], change the
      line, find the line that says Bindings = IBMAC and
      change it to:

      Bindings = FEM556

   b. Two lines before the line:

      ;3C589 3Com EtherLink/PCMCIA adapter

      you should find a blank line. Add the following text
      to the blank line:

      [FEM556]

   c. Save the file and exit the editor.

6. Return to the root directory of your hard disk. Type:

   CD \

7. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.

   a. Change the line:

      device = \LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS

      to

      device = \LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:\LANMAN

   b. Change the line:

      device = XX.DOS

      to

      device = \LANMAN\FEM556N2.DOS

   c. Save the file and exit the editor.

The LAN Support program activates the next time the 
computer restarts.
