LAN Manager DOS workstations This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH, FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters. It contains notes for installing the NDIS driver in a LAN Manager* DOS workstation. It does not explain how to configure an EtherExpress adapter. For instructions about configuring the board, see the printed installation guide. DOS WORKSTATIONS ---------------- 1. To use the EtherExpress card in a DOS workstation, follow the standard installation procedure (using the SETUP utility). An EtherExpress adapter driver is included with LAN Manager 2.2, but you should update that driver with the one on the EtherExpress adapter disk. 2. Once you exit the SETUP utility, do NOT shut down the computer. Verify that the I/O address in the PROTOCOL.INI matches the I/O address of the board. Refer to the "EDITING PROTOCOL.INI" section below for instructions on changing the I/O address. 3. After exiting SETUP, reboot the computer as described in the manual. If an error message is displayed, ensure that the board is installed properly and the I/O address in PROTOCOL.INI matches the board. EDITING PROTOCOL.INI -------------------- LAN Manager uses the PROTOCOL.INI file to ensure that the driver and the board are configured to work together. Our driver requires only one parameter, and its purpose is to ensure that the driver and the board are configured to use the same I/O address. The parameter's name is IOADDRESS. If a board is using an I/O address other than 300h, you must edit the PROTOCOL.INI file located in the directory \LANMAN.DOS to change configuration of the driver. 1. Using a text editor, locate the EtherExpress section shown below: [EXP16_NIF] ; Intel EtherExpress(tm) 16 Ethernet Adapter. IOADDRESS=0x300 DRIVERNAME=EXP16$ 2. Replace the I/O address with the address you selected when you ran SOFTSET for the EtherExpress 16 adapter or the System Configuration utility for the EtherExpress MCA. Example using I/O address 340H: [EXP16_NIF] ; Intel EtherExpress(tm) 16 Ethernet Adapter. IOADDRESS=0x340 DRIVERNAME=EXP16$ 3. Save the file and exit. The network driver now matches the configuration of the board and you should continue with rebooting the computer and loading the driver. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
