This parameter is called MoreThan16M, and it can be assigned the values "YES" or "NO". The default, when this parameter is not found in PROTOCOL.INI, is "NO". It is necessary to enable this support when the system has more than 16MB of RAM, because the ISA Bus Architecture does not give an adapter direct access to memory above this limit. Therefore, the Driver has to copy any data above this limit to its internal buffers, so the adapter can read them safely. When enabling this option, IBM16TR.OS2 will allocate (18000 * MAXTRANSMITS) bytes in addition to all the other memory required for other structures (receive buffers, controls blocks). Since the Driver cannot allocate more than 1MB of memory, it may be necessary to reduce the value of MAXTRANSMITS in PROTOCOL.INI, depending on those other requirements and on the number of adapters installed. Important Notice: DO NOT ACTIVATE THIS PARAMETER if the system does not have more than 16MB of RAM, since it will waste memory unnecessarily. ΙΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ» Ί Default Switch Setting Ί ΘΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΌ The Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II is shipped with all switches set to "ON" which means a default setting of: RPL ROM ADDRESS : C0000 I/O ADDRESS : 86A0 INTERRUPT LEVEL : 9 WAIT STATE : NORMAL MACHINE ADAPTER MODE : NORMAL RPL : DISABLE DMA CHANNEL : 5 ADAPTER DATA RATE: 4 MBPS CABLE TYPE : STP Refer to the Installation and Test Instructions, section "Setting the Switches" for further details. (See also the switch description in the a:\readme file provided on this diskette) ΙΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ» Ί Software Support Ί ΘΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΌ The IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II is supported by the following OS/2 software: - IBM Extended Services version 1.0 - IBM Extended Services with Database Server version 1.0 - IBM OS/2 LAN Server version 2.0 Entry - IBM OS/2 LAN Server version 2.0 Advanced - MICROSOFT OS/2 1.30.1 Lan Manager 2.2 ΙΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ» Ί Installing OS/2 NDIS Device Drivers Ί ΘΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΌ The OS/2 NDIS Device Driver is needed to run in an OS/2 LAN Services environment or an OS/2 Extended Services environment. The option diskette contains the OS/2 NDIS Device Driver under the name IBM16TR.OS2. If you have IBM OS/2 LAN Server version 3.0, you can use the OS/2 NDIS LAN Adapter and Protocol Support tool (LAPS) to install the OS/2 NDIS MAC Driver for the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter. LAPS is a part of the IBM Network Transport System/2 (NTS/2) product, which is included in the IBM LAN Server version 3.0 package. Note that, however, NTS/2 is a separate product, and although it is shipped as part of LAN Server 3.0, it can be obtained separately. If IBM OS/2 LAN Server version 2.0 is installed, you can also use its Installation and Configuration tool. The following is an example of how to install and configure the OS/2 device driver using the IBM OS/2 LAN Server 2.0 tools. When selecting an option is mentioned, do it by either clicking the mouse or using the keyboard if no mouse is installed. Where you find references to the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II Diagnostic Diskette, either the 3.5" or 5.25" one, provided with the adapter can be used. 1. Starting from "LAN Services" window, select "OS/2 Lan Services Installation/Configuration", and then, select "OK". 2. Next, in the "Basic or Advanced Installation/Configuration", select "Advanced". 3. Then the "Install Type" window is opened. Select "Install or configure this workstation" option in this window. 4. The following window is "Server Type". You can choose between "Additional server" and "Domain controller". 5. When you reach the "Installation and Configuration" window, select "Configure a component". 6. In the "Configure" window, select "LAN Adapter and Protocol Support" 7. Then select "Copy additional network adapter drivers" in the "Options" window. 8. The next OS/2 window requests the path (drive:directory) where the OS/2 NDIS Device Driver files will be copied from. Type "d:\OS2", where "d:" is the diskette drive with the option diskette and press "ENTER" to copy the files from the diskette. After this, you will return to the "Configure" window. 9. In the "Configure" window, select "Configure Workstations", then select "OK". The "Configure Workstation" window is shown. a. Select the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II in the "Network Adapter" field, then select "ADD". b. Select in the "Protocols Field" whatever is appropriate for your system installation. c. Select the "EDIT" option in the "Current Configuration" field to show all the default values for the configurable parameters of the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II. MAKE SURE the "Adapter I/O Base Address" reflects the address set up done with switches 1-3 when installing the adapter into your system. Refer to the Installation and Test Instructions, provided with the adapter, section " Setting the Switches " if necessary. (or see the a:\readme file on this diskette) d. Save the options selecting "OK". Returning to the "Configure Workstations" window will do the same. 10. The installation is ended. Note: If you need to change the Device Driver directory MANUALLY anytime, make sure to copy the IBM16TR.OS2, BRZH.MSG and BRZ.MSG files. End of installation. This next example shows how to install and configure the OS/2 device driver using LAPS (NTS/2). If you are using IBM LAN Server V4.0 or later, LAPS is now a component of MPTS. 1. If LAPS is not yet installed on the system, open an OS/2 Full-Screen, insert the NTS/2 diskette in drive A: and type A: LAPS Otherwise, if you have already installed LAPS, open an OS/2 Full-Screen, change to the d:\IBMCOM directory (where d: stands for the driver letter in which LAPS is installed) and type LAPS If you are using IBM LAN Server V4.0 or later, type MPTS instead. 2. Select "Install". If LAPS not installed in the system yet, the following panels will guide you thru the main LAPS installation. When the main installation is complete, the Installation Procedure will display again the same first panel. You should then select "Install" again to inform LAPS that you want to install an Additional Driver. If LAPS is already installed, selecting "Install" now will lead directly to the Additional Driver panel. 3. This panel asks for the drive and directory from which the OS/2 NDIS Device Driver files will be copied from. Insert the Diagnostics Diskette in the A: drive and type A:\OS2. 4. Once again, the program will return to the main (first) panel. Select "Configure: to setup the LAN protocols in the system. 5. Select "Configure LAN Transports" and "Continue...". The Configure Workstation window will be displayed. 6. Select "IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II" in the Network Adapters window, and then select "Add". 7. Select in the Protocols window whatever is appropriate for your system 8. Select "Edit" in the Current Configurations window to show the defaults of all the configurable parameters for the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II. Make sure that the "IOBase" address reflects the actual configuration of switches 1, 2 and 3 on the adapter. Refer to the Installation and Test Instructions manual for the switch definitions. You can also see a description of this and the other parameters in the section "OS/2 NDIS Device Driver Parameters" on page F-1. You can also position the cursor over the parameter you want information about and press the F1 key. 9. After configuring the parameters, press "OK" and you'll return to the Configure Workstation window. Select "OK" again and the main (first) panel will be displayed. 10. Select "Exit" to finish installation. You'll be prompted before LAPS makes any changes in the configuration files in the system. Select "Continue..." to save the changes you've made, or "Exit" to discard the Configuration. 11. You'll be instructed to shutdown the system and reboot the machine. During the next boot, you'll be able to see the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II OS/2 NDIS Driver installation messages. End of Installation
