File: lansrv.txt 3Com Corporation 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN + 56K Modem PC Card (3CCFEM556 PC Card family) ============================================================ This file contains NDIS 2.01 driver installation informaiton for IBM LAN Server. This file includes the following topics: - Installation Notes for LAN Server 4.0 - Enabling Full Duplex Mode - SYSTEM.INI Information - IBM LAN Server 3.0 - DOS Installation ============================================================ 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" 3. Choose the directory you want the software installed to. The default is "C:\NET". 4. A menu will appear that provides a list of Network Cards. Choose "Network card not shown in the list below..." 5. Remove the "Dos Lan Services Disk 1" diskette and insert Installation Disk 2 into drive A. 6. Type A:\NDIS2 and hit Enter 7. The next menu should display "3Com Megahertz 10/100 + 56K PC Card" 8. Additional menus will appear, choose the appropriate options for your network environment. Refer to the IBM manual if there are questions regarding these menus. 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. (%ver lansrv.txt v1.0)
