Parameters with a possible value of "any value" are tested for existence by
the driver, this is why any value will work.
Error message:
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_HARDWARE_ADDRESS 0xE11
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_ALLOC_STATS 0xE12
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_CREATE_FILTER 0xE13
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_INIT_INTERRUPT 0xE14
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_ADAP 0xE16
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_OPENERR 0xE1D
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_INITERR 0xE1E
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_DMA 0xE21
Error message meanings:
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_HARDWARE_ADDRESS - The system could not register the port
address. The is probably a io conflict.
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_ALLOC_STATS - The system could not allocate kernel memory
for the statistics structure.
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_CREATE_FILTER - The driver could not register the node
address. Try another node address.
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_INIT_INTERRUPT - The system could not allocate the request
interrupt. Try another interrupt. Change both the adapter and the configuration
registry.
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_ADAP - The adapter did not start. Run diagnostics to see if
there is a hardware or configuration problem.
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_OPENERR - The adapter could not open onto the ring. The
interrupt could be conflicting, the cable may be bad, or the port on the
mau could be bad.
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_INITERR - The adapter could not initialize.
Check the dma channel. It is probably conflicting with another card.
TR2KNDIS_ERRMSG_DMA - The dma channel could not be allocated by the system.
If the text is "Adapter not found" check the port setting in the configuration
registry and the port setting of the adapter. They are probably mismatched.
TR2KNDIS token ring driver for Windows NT 4.0
==============================================
Installation for Windows NT and NT Server
1) Ensure DISK.ID file is in the root directory of the disk you
will be installing from.
2) Login to NT using an administrator user ID.
3) Select "Network" from the "Control Panel" window.
4) Select "Add Adapter".
5) When installation asks for adapter, select "Other Manufacturer".
6) Insert driver diskette into drive A:.
8) When installation asks for path of driver, type: A:\WINNT\NT40
and press <Enter>.
9) Select the driver you wish to install.
10) If your system has multiple buses, ISA, PCI, PCMCIA, etc.,
you will be asked to select the "Bus Type" and "Bus Number".
For example, if you install a PCI adapter in the second bus on
a system with two PCI buses, you would select "PCI" for Bus Type
and "1" for Bus Number. Bus numbers start at 0.
11) The adapter configuration screen should now be displayed. Select
"OK" when configuration is complete. See section 2.1 for an
explanation of the NT configuration screen.
NT Configuration Screen
When you first install your adapter, the configuration screen will
display default values for your particular adapter. In most cases
these default values may be used. In the event it necessary to change
the configuration, the following provides a detailed explanation of
available options:
Port Address - A Port Address MUST be selected. PCI adapters
select "PCI".
IRQ Level - Set to "Autodetect" except PCMCIA and Venus
adapters which must select a non-conflicting
IRQ value.
DMA Channel - Set to "Autodetect" except PCMCIA and Venus
adapters which must select a non-conflicting
DMA channel.
"Pseudo DMA" - will force your adapter to
8 bit pseudo DMA.
"Fast Access" - will auto-negotiate the fastest
pseudo DMA rate that your
adapter will support (8, 16
or 32 bit).
Memory Address - Set to "Autodetect" except PCMCIA and Venus
adapters which must select a non-conflicting
Memory Address.
Network Address - If you wish to use a Locally Administered
Network Address, enter a 12 digit hexadecimal
address.
Speed Setting - Set to network speed.
Max Frame Size - Set desired frame size (1024 - 17892). Changing
this value will affect performance.
Transmit Lists - Set desired number of transmit buffers. Changing
this value will affect performance.
Receive Lists - Set desired number of receive buffers. Changing
this value will affect performance.
Use Config Register - With the exception of PCMCIA and Venus adapters,
this option must be selected.
Promiscuous Mode - Select this option if you wish to allow your
adapter to copy all frames. Some software, such
as Network Analyzers, may require this.
Wait State - PCMCIA adapters only. Set this option to
lengthen I/O read and write events.
This may increase hardware compatibility on
certain PCMCIA PC's, but will decrease network
performance.
