***************************************************************************** * * * PCI Ethernet Adapter * * * * NDIS2 Driver for Lan Server DOS Workstations * * * * V. 2.91, Jan. 1997 * * * ***************************************************************************** Introduction: ============= The Ethernet NDIS2 Driver for Lan Requester DOS workstations 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: ============================= PCIND.DOS The NDIS2 driver for Lan Requester DOS workstations. OEMSETUP.INF The installation information file. LSDOS.TXT This 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 DOS LAN Requester : ------------------------------------------------- 1) Install DOS Lan Requester to HardDisk with "NO Network Adapter Selected" option. 2) Copy PCIND.DOS from your Driver diskette to DOS LAN Services subdirectory, like C:\NET . 3) Under DOS LAN Requester subdirectory C:\NET, run INSTALL 4) Move highlight to "The listed options are correct" item , then press ENTER. 5) Move highlight to "Network Card", then press ENTER. 6) Select "Change driver for network card." item, then press ENTER. 7) Select "Network card not shown in list below..", then press ENTER. 8) Insert the PCI Ethernet driver diskette in floppy A,and specify the pathname A:\LANSVR40.DOS,then press ENTER. 9) PCI Ethernet NDIS2 driver is now installed on your computer, reboot your computer. NOTE: ----- Multiple Lan Adapters in a system: If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to use the keyword, PCIID, in PROTOCOL.INI file to let driver locate the right adapter. And you must set DriverName to be PCIND$ and PCIND2$ for two different adapters. 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:\NET\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\NET DEVICE=C:\NET\DLSHELP.SYS DEVICE=C:\NET\PCIND.DOS File Name: C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT ---------- SHARE C:\NET\NET START C:\NET\NET START PEER C:\NET\NET SHARE ZZZ=C:\ File Name: C:\NET\PROTOCOL.INI ---------- ... # The followings are Custom Keywords. Put the keywords to enable the # special functions. [MS$PCIND] DriverName=PCIND$ IOBASE=0x300 INTERRUPT=5 EARLYRECEIVE=0 EARLYTRANSMIT=0 FULLDUPLEX=0 [MS$PCIND] DriverName=PCIND2$ IOBASE=0x320 INTERRUPT=9 EARLYRECEIVE=0 EARLYTRANSMIT=0 FULLDUPLEX=0 [IBM$NETBEUI] DriverName=netbeui$ SESSIONS=20 NCBS=20 BINDINGS=MS$PCIND LANABASE=0 ... Custom Keywords: ---------------- PCIID="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. PCIID=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 PCI mode adapter, the IOBASE and INTERRUPT keywords values are ignored in your PROTOCOL.INI file.
