Microsoft LAN Manager --------------------- Support is provided for the Microsoft LAN Manager (version 2.x) environment. The driver should be installed using the Microsoft LAN Manager Setup Utility. Notes: ------ (1) The hardware for the Microsoft LAN Manager environment can be configured to run as an OS/2 server, OS/2 workstation, basic MS-DOS workstation, or an enhanced MS-DOS workstation. Please refer to your Microsoft LAN Manager documentation as needed. (2) The directory structure provided on the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette has been setup for automatic OEM installation. The OEM Installation section of this manual provides more details regarding OEM driver installation. Also,more information can be found in Driver Installation Using Microsoft LAN Manager Setup Utility. Follow the steps listed below: 1 Insert the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette into the floppy drive. Note: ----- Two information files ("ne100tx.NIF" and "PROTOCOL.INI") will be used for driver installation. These files are located on the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette. 2 Change into the LAN Manager subdirectory on your hard disk by typing: CD C:\LANMAN Then press . Next start the Microsoft LAN Manager Setup Utility by typing: setup Then press . 3 The following message will be displayed: Loading Microsoft LAN Manager configuration ... 4 Hold down the key and press "C" to access the "Configuration" drop down menu. 5 Use the up/down arrow keys to select "Network Drivers..." and then press . This will open the "Workstation Configuration" window. 6 If you have an existing (old) OTHERS Ethernet driver installed, use the tab key to select "" and then press . This removes the existing NDIS driver. 7 Use the tab key to select "" and then press . This will open the "Network Adapter Drivers" window. 8 Use the tab key to select "" and then press . 9 Enter the disk drive letter (e.g., "A:") where the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette is located. Note: ----- No path is required since the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette is structured for the Microsoft LAN Manager setup. Use the tab key to select "" and then press . 10 Use the up/down arrow keys to select "NDC 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter".Next, use the tab key to select "" and then press . Note: ----- If you have older 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter drivers installed, you will be asked if you want to "Overwrite?" Use the tab key to select "" and then press . The following message will be displayed: Copying drivers, please wait ... Wait for the message to go away. 11 Use the up/down arrow keys to select the desired protocol, press the spacebar to select, and then use the tab key to select "". Then press . You will then be returned to the "Workstation Configuration" window. 12 Use the tab key to select "" and then press . The following message will be displayed: Saving Microsoft LAN Manager Configuration ... Wait for the message to go away. 13 Hold down the key and press "L" to access the "LAN Manager" drop down menu. 14 Use the up/down arrow keys to select "Exit Setup" and then press . The following message will be displayed: LAN Manager Configuration Complete "" will be highlighted. Press . The installation of the NDIS 2.01 driver for Microsoft LAN Manager is now complete. File Examples ------------- During installation, LAN Manager will automatically make modifications to the "CONFIG.SYS", "AUTOEXEC.BAT", and "PROTOCOL.INI" files. Below are sample files for a 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter. CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LANMAN.DOS DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\ne100tx\ne100tx.DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT SET PATH=C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG;%PATH% NET START WORKSTATION LOAD NETBEUI NET LOGON bill.gates PROTOCOL.INI [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES PRIORITY = NETBEUI [NETBEUI_XIF] Drivername = netbeui$ SESSIONS = 6 NCBS = 12 BINDINGS = "ne100tx_NIF" LANABASE = 0 [ne100tx_NIF] DriverName = NE100TX$ SIA_MODE = AUTOSENSE PROTOCOL.INI Parameters ----------------------- Changing settings of the adapter is done by editing and changing the PROTOCOL.INI file. This file is located in different directories, depending on the networking operating system used. The PROTOCOL.INI file stores configuration and binding information. It consists of a series of named sections, where the section name is in fact the module name from a module characteristics table. A set of configuration settings for the module in format is as follows. Keyword = value where value - appropriate value for corresponding Keyword. The following sections describe the PROTOCOL.INI settings used for the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Driver, their default values, the range of values that can be given and value units. (I) Required Keyword DRIVERNAME -- Specifies the network device driver. DRIVERNAME=NE100TX$ units:[text] default:[NE100TX$] (II) Optional Keywords in the NE100TX section: SIA_MODE -- Defines the Serial Interface connection. * AUTOSENSE : it executes an algorithm which detects the serial interface connection type during the driver's initialization. The PCI Ethernet Adapter support dynamic autosense and the detection algorithm is execute also during run time. The PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter also executes an algorithm which detects the data rate used 10Mb or 100Mb. * TP_FULL_DUPLEX specifies Full Duplex operation via the Twisted Pair transceiver. The adapter should be connected to another Ethernet station with a cable suitable for Full Duplex mode. * TP specifies normal operation via the Twisted Pair transceiver. (Suitable for standard ethernet) For PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter the default is AUTOSENSE. DATA_RATE -- Defines the data rate at which the LAN controller will operate. * MB10 specifies a data rate of 10Mb (Suitable for standard ethernet) * MB100 specifies a data rate of 100Mb (suitable for fast ethernet). The keyword is valid only if the physical 100Mb port is connected to the net. For PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter the default is MB100. NOTE: ----- Driver selected connection is a combination of DATA_RATE selection and SIA_MODE selection(ether TP or TP_FULL_DUPLEX). -------------------------------------[END]--------------------------------------
