Subdirectory TOKEN from Self-Extracting File Name: DRV2X.EXE
The TOKEN subdirectory in DRV2X.EXE contains IBM Token-Ring drivers for
the IBM Token-Ring PC Adapter, the IBM Token-Ring PC Adapter II, the IBM
Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter, the IBM Token-Ring PC Adapter/A, and the IBM
Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter/A. These drivers are for Novell v2.x Operating
Systems and external Routers and Bridges. The following files are in the
TOKEN subdirectory:
TOKEN TXT (This File)
ATOKENA2 OBJ 5150 7-31-91 4:49p (certified v2.63)
BTOKENA2 OBJ 5150 7-31-91 4:50p (certified v2.63)
CTOKENA2 OBJ 5150 7-31-91 4:51p (certified v2.63)
DTOKENA2 OBJ 5150 7-31-91 4:52p (certified v2.63)
TOKENA2 LAN 206 9-24-91 2:20p (certified v2.63)
TRCONFIG COM 3826 5-14-91 4:54p (certified by Software Test)
Each of the above files is described in detail below:
ATOKENA2.OBJ, BTOKENA2.OBJ, CTOKENA2.OBJ, DTOKENA2.OBJ - These are 286 OS
Token-Ring Drivers v2.63. Copy these files onto a newly formatted diskette
labeled LAN_DRV_001. They can be configured with TRConfig.COM and will be
linked into NET$OS with NETGEN/INSTALL or ROUTE.EXE/BRIDGE.EXE with
ROUTEGEN/BRGEN. These drivers work with RPL.VP1 to support Remote Program
Load.
TRCONFIG.COM - TRCONFIG.COM (06-14-90) replaces TRCONFIG.COM (06-08-90).
TRCONFIG.COM (06-14-90) will work with the following token ring drivers:
2.50, 2.60, 2.61, 2.62, and 2.63. TRCONFIG.COM (06-08-90) will only work
with 2.50 token ring drivers, If TRCONFIG.COM (06-08-90) is used on 2.60,
2.61, and 2.62, it will cause driver corruption. TRCONFIG.COM (05/14/91) has
been enhanced to modify NET$OS as well as the ?TOKENA2.OBJ.
TRCONFIG.COM is a configuration utility that will modify ATOKENA2.OBJ,
BTOKENA2.OBJ, CTOKENA2.OBJ, DTOKENA2.OBJ, and NET$OS. After running
TRCONFIG.COM, a message will be displayed on the screen saying "?TOKENA2.OBJ
Configuration SUCCESSFUL; date on file changed". The object file
(?TOKENA2.OBJ) will be modified to have the current date and time. If the
date and time of the file has not changed, TRCONFIG.COM did not run
successfully. (?=A,B,C,D)
TRCONFIG.COM can be copied to the diskette labeled LAN_DRV_001 to modify
?TOKENA2.OBJ. If using v2.1x NetWare, copy TRCONFIG.COM to the diskette
labeled OSEXE-1 to modify NET$OS. If using v2.2 NetWare, copy TRCONFIG.COM
to the diskette labeled OSEXE to modify NET$OS.
To use TRCONFIG.COM, type trconfig <ENTER>, it will help you along.
TRCONFIG.com is used to configure the following options:
MEMA=xx00 xx00 is a HEXADECIMAL number specifying the Shared RAM Segment
of the ALTERNATE Adapter. The DEFAULT is D400. This value is IGNORED
if the Driver is run on a MICRO CHANNEL Machine and is defined by the
Reference diskette.
MEMP=xx00 xx00 is a HEXADECIMAL number specifying the shared RAM Segment
of the PRIMARY Adapter. The DEFAULT is D800. This value is IGNORED
if the driver is run on a MICRO CHANNEL Machine and is defined by the
Reference diskette.
NODE=xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx is a 04 Byte HEXADECIMAL Number specifying the
NODE Address. The PREFIX 4000h will be added to this number to form a
6 Byte Locally Administered Address:4000 xxxx xxxx.
NOTE: NODE=xxxxxxxx will not work with v2.62 286 O/S drivers. It is
necessary to use the TRCONFIG.com for this option after NET$OS,
BRIDGE.exe, or ROUTE.exe have been linked and configured. This will be
addressed in another release of 2.1x/v2.2 drivers.
TBZ=zzzz zzzz is a DECIMAL number from 512 to 65535 specifying the
Transmit Buffer Size. The Driver WILL adjust this number to the NEAREST
Power of 2. The Driver may adjust this number to the LARGEST packet
size the board WILL accept. If zzzz = 0000 then 4096 will be used. If
zzzz is between 1 and 512, then 512 will be used. The DEFAULT Transmit
Buffer Size is set to 2048 to allow MORE SERVICE Processes.
TOKENA2.LAN - This file is the options file, it will call the desired
?TOKENA2.OBJ file when selecting the Token Ring lan driver option in
Netgen. This file can also be copied to the LAN_DRV_001.
