\IBMCOM\MACS\READMAC.TXT (10/95) -------------------------------- This READMAC.TXT file contains information pertaining to the Network Interface Cards that are supported by LAPS. The following topics are covered in this file: 1) FORMAT FOR INSTALLING DRIVERS NOT SHIPPED WITH LAPS 2) NETWORK ADAPTER CARDS - DRIVERS SHIPPED WITH LAPS 3) NETWORK ADAPTER CARDS - DRIVERS NOT SHIPPED WITH LAPS 4) DRIVER AVAILABILITY 5) LAPS INSTALLATION NOTES FOR NETWORK ADAPTER CARDS 1) FORMAT FOR INSTALLING DRIVERS NOT SHIPPED WITH LAPS ------------------------------------------------------ When installing drivers not shipped with LAPS, the user is asked to indicate the path where the files are located. The driver file and all associated files must be in the same directory. Following may cause the copying of the files to fail: - the driver file and all associated files are not in the same directory. - the NIF file may not be compatible with LAPS. The SNIFFLE utility can be used to validate the NIF file. The SNIFFLE utility can usually be found with the applets that are shipped. - incorrect driver file and/or nif file for the adapter card. 2) NETWORK ADAPTER CARDS - DRIVERS SHIPPED WITH LAPS

The modem instructions are: 1200-14400 bps, 8-N-1. 5) LAPS INSTALLATION NOTES FOR NETWORK ADAPTER CARDS ---------------------------------------------------- 3Com EtherLink III Card For all EtherLink III, use the EtherDisk III diskette from 3Com. Be sure to run 3Com configuration and set OS/2 mode vs. DOS mode. An LT80209 error can occur during ipl if the 3Com 3C509 is configured for a Maximum Modem Speed of 38,400 and IBM's NetWare Requester Support (odi2ndi.os2) is also configured. Lowering the Maximum Modem Speed to 19,200 allows the system to ipl without the error. The following additional parameters might be required in the protocol.ini file for certain configurations: DRIVERNAME=ELNK3$ ;DRIVERNAME=ELNK32$ ; use for second of two MAC drivers ;IOADDRESS=0X300 ; only ISA with more than 1 EtherLink III card ; range 0X200-0X3E0, Step 0X10 MAXTRANSMITS=40 ; range 2-50, use 40 for OS/2 Servers ;NETADDRESS="000000000000" ;SLOT=0 ; range 0-15, use for EISA only 3Com TokenLink III Card Use the TokenDisk V. 1.1 diskette from 3Com. Use IBMTOK.OS2 driver supplied with MPTS instead of the NDIS driver from 3Com. Artisoft NodeRunner Card Artisoft Adapter Cards are sometimes detected as NE2000, NE1000. Set mode to Artisoft. Asante EP 2000+ Ethernet Card The MAC driver for the Asante adapter cards is provided by the manufacturer on the driver diskette delivered with the adapter card. Two files are required for the adapter to function with LAPS: EP2000.OS2 and EP2000.NIF. The NIF currently provided with this adapter card is incompatible with LAPS. In order to install this MAC driver, the user must create a new NIF manually. This file may be created by using the sample below, and following these steps: WARNING: The filenames for these two files are the same as those of other files already included with MPTS. The user should save the original two files included with MPTS in a separate directory if the user wishes to save those files. Step 1. Create a file called EP2000.NIF containing only the text provided in the sample below. Place this file in the directory \ibmcom\macs. Step 2. Copy the driver EP2000.OS2 from the driver diskette provided by the manufacturer into the directory \ibmcom\macs. Step 3. Configure LAPS by executing MPTS.EXE and selecting "Asante EP 2000+ Ethernet Card" from the Network Adapters list box in the Configure Workstation window. Note: After creating the NIF file, you may want to run the SNIFFLE utility to validate the NIF file. The SNIFFLE utility can usually be found with the applets that are shipped. Text for the file EP2000.NIF: -----cut here----- [ASANTE] Type = NDIS Title = "Asante EP 2000+ Ethernet Card" Version = 1.0 Drivername = EP2000$ Xports = NETBEUI LANDD [FILE] Name = EP2000.OS2 -----cut here----- Cray Communications ScaNet Network Interface Adapters Cray Communications adapter cards were formerly called Dowty Networks. D-Link DE-220 Network Interface Cards The manufacturer of these adapter cards provides a driver and NIF on the driver diskette delivered with the adapter card. These two files are DE220.OS2 and DE220IBM.NIF. However, this driver does not currently function properly with LAN Server. In order to configure for these adapter cards, the user should obtain a different driver and NIF from the manufacturer. The OS/2 NDIS driver provided for the DE-200 adapter cards will support the DE-220 adapter cards. The NIF provided with the DE-200 is not compatible with LAPS. The user should obtain an alternate NIF from the BBS. These adapter cards can be configured by following these steps: Step 1. Download the driver diskette for the DE-200 adapter card from the manufacturers BBS. The file name is DE200.EXE. Place this file in the c:\ directory. Step 2. Create the diskette from this self-extracting file by inserting a blank diskette in diskette drive A: and executing the following commands from DOS: a: c:\de200.exe Label this diskette "DE 200 Drivers". Step 3. Download the NIF diskette for the D-Link adapter card from the manufacturers BBS. The file name is LANSRV.EXE. Place this file in the c:\ directory. Step 4. Create the diskette from this self-extracting file by inserting a blank diskette in diskette drive A: and executing the following commands from DOS: a: c:\lansrv.exe Label this diskette "D-Link LAN Server NIFs". Step 5. Copy the driver DE200.OS2 from the "DE 200 Drivers" diskette to the directory \ibmcom\macs. Step 6. Copy the NIF DE200.NIF from the "D-Link LAN Server NIFs" diskette to the directory \ibmcom\macs. Step 7. Configure LAPS by executing MPTS.EXE and selecting "D-Link DE-200 & DE-205TP Ethernet Card" from the Network Adapters list box in the Configure Workstation window. Eagle Technology NE2000 Adapter Cards The user must set the timing parameter on the NE2000 family to a non-default position on some systems, including some IBM PS ValuePoint systems. This is set via a jumper on the older NE2000 Boards, and via software configuration on the newer NE2000PLUS boards. See the instructions in the Eagle manual. IBM Dual EtherStreamer MC 32 Adapter IBM Dual LANStreamer MC 32 Adapter Add the following statement DEVICE=...\IBMCOM\MACS\DUALSTRM.OS2 to config.sys when using one of these cards. Configure one logical adapter for each port required. I.e., select IBMMPC twice in LAPS to configure both ports of a single DUAL Streamer NIC. Add the following additional parameter to DUALSTRM.OS2 when more than one DUAL Streamer NIC is installed in the system: DEVICE=...\IBMCOM\MACS\DUALSTRM.OS2 /S: where, is the number of the micro-channel slot where the card is installed. IBM LAN Adapter/A for Ethernet When setting the Network Adapter Address (NetAddress) parameter during MPTS installation, do not set the group address bit. The group address bit is bit 7 of the 48-bit NETADDRESS parameter where bit 0 is the most significant bit. An example of an incorrect address is 010000000000. IBM Parallel Port The IBM Parallel Port (prnandis.os2) MAC driver's performance differs from the typical LAN connection (Token-Ring, Ethernet) MAC driver's performance. The IBM Parallel Port driver is only meant to be used for casual file transfers. IBM Shared Ram Token-Ring Network Adapters: IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter II IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 ISA-16 Adapter IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter/A IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter/A (16F1163) IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter/A (75F9410) IBMTOKC.NIF is provided as a general NIF for IBM shared-RAM token-ring NICs. This is selected as "IBM Compatible Token-Ring Network Adapter" in the LAPS panel. This is selected automatically for both IBM and non-IBM NICs during adapter auto-detection. This is equivalent to selecting IBMTOK.NIF. IBMTOKMP.OS2, IBMTOKMP.NIF, and IBMTOKMP.TXT are provided for use on SMP systems in place of IBMTOK.OS2. This is supported only on SMP systems. On SMP systems, the user should select "IBM SMP Token-Ring Network Adapter" for both IBM and non-IBM adapters which are supported on SMP. All other NICs which are supported on SMP systems use the same device driver that is used on uni-processor systems. If you are installing an alternate network adapter, you must change the default value for the Adapter Mode (adapter) parameter during MPTS installation. The alternate network adapter is the second of two IBM Token-Ring Network adapters. If you install and configure using the unattended method with response files and you have an existing PROTOCOL.INI file from an earlier version of LAPS, you must specify "alternate" with the adapter keyword for an alternate IBM Token-Ring Network adapter. Shared RAM Address: The Shared RAM Address (ram) parameter during MPTS installation is only used for certain non-Micro Channel network adapters. This parameter is ignored when used with Micro Channel network adapters. For the Micro Channel network adapters, shared RAM is configured using the reference diskette. The remainder of this section refers only to non-Micro Channel shared RAM adapters. This parameter specifies the physical RAM location on the network adapter if the network adapter default is not adequate. This parameter value is a hexadecimal number, located on an 8KB boundary for the IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter and on a 16KB boundary for the IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter II. For the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter, this value is on a boundary equivalent to the amount of shared RAM configured. That is, it is on an 8KB boundary if 8KB of shared RAM is configured, on a 16KB boundary if 16KB of shared RAM is configured, on a 32KB boundary if 32KB of shared RAM is configured and on a 64KB boundary if 64KB of shared RAM in configured. The network adapter default RAM location immediately follows the read- only memory (ROM) on the next appropriate page boundary. This means that if 8KB (similarly 16KB, 32KB or 64KB) of RAM is being configured, then the default RAM location is at the first 8KB (similarly 16KB, 32KB or 64KB) boundary address above ROM. For example, assume the ROM is at the default location (X'CC00'). Then, on the IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter, the default RAM location will be at the next highest 8KB page boundary which is X'CE00'. For the IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter II, the default RAM location will be at the next highest 16KB page boundary which is X'D000'. For the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter, the default RAM location will depend upon the amount of configured shared RAM. If 8KB is configured, the default RAM location will be X'CE00'. If 16KB, 32KB, or 64KB are configured, the default RAM location will be at X'D000' since that is the next highest 16KB, 32KB and 64KB boundary. For compatibility with IBM network adapter defaults, set this parameter to X'D800' for the primary network adapter or to X'D400' for the alternate network adapter. You can specify only 4 hexadecimal digits for this parameter in MPTS configuration. Do not specify the least significant 0 of a 5-digit address. For example, specify an address of X'D8000' as X'D800'. The following network adapters require shared memory for a shared RAM region starting at the selected RAM location and 8KB of memory for the ROM region: Network Adapter Amount of Shared Memory Required IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter X'2000' (8KB) IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter II X'4000' (16KB) IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter X'2000' (8KB) or X'4000' (16KB) or X'8000' (32KB) or X'10000' (64KB) The RAM location that is selected depends on the RAM size setting on the network adapter. If 8KB or 16KB is set, then all locations are valid. If 32KB or 64KB is set, then the address must be on a 32KB or 64KB boundary, respectively. The specified location must not conflict with the address of any other adapter configured and installed in the workstation. The selection specified cannot overlap with the ROM region used by the IBM Token-Ring Network adapters. The ROM region is determined by the switch settings on the network adapter. It is suggested that the ROM region for the primary network adapter be set to X'CC000' and that the ROM region for the secondary network adapter be set to X'DC000'. However, this region can be set to another available 8KB location in the range from X'C0000' through X'DC000'. Use these guidelines to select the shared RAM location for the appropriate network adapter: IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter: Depending on the setting of the shared RAM page-size switches on the network adapter, the following numbers of bytes of shared RAM are required: 8KB (X'2000' bytes) 16KB (X'4000' bytes) 32KB (X'8000' bytes) 64KB (X'10000' bytes) The Shared RAM address parameter cannot conflict with any of the following areas, which also require shared memory: The fixed 24KB region that is required (X'C0000'-X'C5FFF') if a VGA adapter is also being used; The fixed 16KB region that is required (X'C0000'-X'C3FFF') if an EGA adapter is also being used. The location that you specify must not have been previously specified, and it must reside on its corresponding address boundary (or larger). For example, X'D800' is a 32KB address boundary. Use the default of 16KB for the network adapter switch setting. If you choose this setting, the network adapter mapping function of 64KB to 16KB is invoked. You have the advantage of more storage with less shared RAM used in PC memory. 16KB pages from the 64KB are mapped into the 16KB RAM. You must use X'D000' as the shared RAM location if you set the page-size switch settings to 64KB. When the switch settings on the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter are set to 64KB, there is a conflict if the switch settings for the ROM region are set to the last 8KB within that same 64KB region. In this case, the shared RAM region used will be reduced to 56KB, allowing the 8KB necessary for the ROM area (X'DE000'). IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter II Select any option that has not been used. Make sure that the starting address you select was not specified for ROM; 16KB are used. IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter Select any option that has not been used. Make sure that the starting address you select was not specified for ROM; 8KB are used. IBM PC Network Adapter Do not set the location to X'D0000' or X'D4000' if an IBM PC Network adapter is configured or if you intend to configure an IBM PC Network adapter. The IBM PC Network adapter always uses X'D0000'- X'D7FFF'. It also uses X'CC000'-X'CDFFF' if the IBM PC Network adapter was configured as the primary network adapter. If the IBM PC Network adapter was configured as the alternate network adapter, location X'DC000'-X'DDFFF' is used. Shared RAM Paging: Adapter cards with 64KB of shared RAM support RAM paging. The IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter and the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter/A both have 64KB of shared RAM. RAM paging is a mechanism that allows the system to view the 64KB of RAM on the adapter in four 16KB pages. This scenario requires only 16KB of contiguous system memory instead of the 64KB required when not using RAM paging. RAM paging does not work unless the adapter device driver supports it. The device driver IBMTOK.OS2 for both the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter and the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter/A provides this support. IBM 16/4 Busmaster Server Adapter/A This network adapter provides 63,392 bytes of memory for buffers. The Adapter Card Buffer Size parameter found during MPTS configuration defines the size of each buffer, which also determines the total number of buffers available. The Minimum Adapter Card Transmit Buffers parameter defines the number of buffers for transmitting data only. The Maximum Adapter Card Transmit Buffers parameter defines the number of buffers to use for transmitting or receiving data. The remaining buffers are then used for only receiving data. The following memory constraint formulas should be considered when adjusting parameters: 1. CB_RAM = 350 + (142 x Maximum Number of Queued Transmits) + (20 x Minimum Number of Adapter Driver Receive Buffers) CB_RAM must be less than 65,535 bytes for each adapter. 2. RCV_RAM = Size of Adapter Driver Receive Buffer x Minimum Number of Adapter Driver Receive Buffers 3. The sum of CB_RAM and RCV_RAM for all the adapters must be less than 1 MB. CB_RAM is the memory required for the control blocks. RCV_RAM is the memory required to receive frames. This memory is allocated at initial program load (IPL) time and is never returned to the system. These formulas are important so you do not set these values arbitrarily high and cause other applications or drivers to run out of memory in an attempt to increase network performance. IBM Infrared NDIS MAC Driver for the ThinkPad 755 Due to the speed differences between LAN adapters and the parallel port, several configuration changes are required. Please refer to the file IRDNDIS.TXT for details. In addition, the user must specify a MAC address in the protocol.ini. On some older revisions of MPTS, the installation utility may incorrectly configure the IRDNDS.EXE driver in the config.sys. In this case, the following line in the config.sys: DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\IRDNDS.EXE should be changed to RUN=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\IRDNDS.EXE Intel TokenExpress For all Intel TokenExpress cards, the file names used for the drivers and NIFs included in LAPS differ from those used by Intel and delivered on their product diskettes.
