Accton Technology Corporation EN2218 PCMCIA Ethernet + Modem/FAx Card OS/2 2.1 NDIS Driver Installation =================================== Copyright (C) 1995 Accton Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. I. Overview ============ The driver ETHPCM.OS2 contained in directory \NDIS\OS2 is used with Accton EN2218 Ethernet PCMCIA adapters in the IBM OS/2 2.1 environment. Before attempting to install the driver, the user must ascertain the Card Service and Socket Service drivers are properly installed. In OS/2 2.1, the card service driver PCMCIA.SYS is included in the package. The socket service driver is supplied by notebook vendors. Each notebook needs a socket service driver that adapts to the specific hardware configuration of the notebook. The user should contact the notebook vendor or IBM about which socket service driver to use. IBM also puts the latest version of many drivers on its Compuserve OS/2 forum and Internet FTP sites for the user to download. This version of the OS/2 driver needs to have an Accton's EN2218 Adapter in the PCMCIA socket at system bootup time. During the course of operation, if EN2218 is removed, the network will cease to function. The rest of the system will not be disturbed. Note that since OS/2 does not have PCMCIA support until version 2.1, this driver does not work under previous versions of OS/2. II. Files descriptions ====================== \NDIS\OS2 ETHPCM.OS2 OS/2 2.1 NDIS MAC Driver EN2218O.NIF Network Information File for LAN Server (OS/2) III. OS/2 LAN Server 3.0 Installation ===================================== 1. Copy ETHPCM.OS2 and EN2218O.NIF files from the Driver diskette (\NDIS\OS2) to D:\IBMCOM\MACS. D is the drive where the LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAP) is installed. 2. Click the OS/2 LAN Service icon. 3. Select "Installation and configuration." The IBM logo appears. 4. Click <OK>. 5. Select <Advance> and press <Enter>. 6. Select "Install or Configuration this Workstation." 7. Select "server type", "adding a server or domain controller". The "install or remove" selections appears. 8. Select "Configure a component." 9. Click the "Configure" button. 10. Select "Configure workstation." 11. Select "Accton EN2218 PCMCIA Ethernet + Modem/Fax Card" when prompted to identify your Network Adapter. Click the <Add> button. 12. Select "802.2" from the list and click the <Add> button. 13. Select "IBM NETBIOS" from the list and click the <Add> button. 14. Select <OK> to confirm all the selections. 15. Follow the instructions to complete the process. Select <OK> to accept default selections. 16. Continue pressing <OK> until your screen prompts you to backup old CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT and create a new CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Select <OK> to confirm. 17. The default interrupt number for the Accton PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter is 5, and the default I/O base address is 0x300. If you are contented with the default settings, skip to step 18, otherwise you have to modify the \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI file. Find the [en2218o_nif] section in this file, and add the 'irq' and 'iobase' entries under this section as exemplified below: [en2218o_nif] DriverName = ETHPCM$ irq = 5 iobase = 0x300 18. The installation is complete. Reset your PC. IV.
