MKMSGF # ( X#[#^#a#d#g# 4-6U7X7[7^7a7d7? ICause: This is a generic initialization failure message. If the IBMTOK.OS2 device driver encounters any errors during initialization, the specific message related to the error will accompany this generic message. Action: Resolve the specific error message that accompanies this message. In addition, ensure that the Protocol Manager device driver, PROTMAN.OS2, is located in the \IBMCOM directory, and that a DEVICE statement for PROTMAN.OS2 exists in the CONFIG.SYS file. ICause: The parameter displayed was found while processing the IBM Token-Ring Network Driver section of PROTOCOL.INI. The parameter is not valid. Action: Correct the parameter or remove it from PROTOCOL.INI. ICause: The value provided for the parameter is not the correct type or is not a valid value. Action: Change the value for the parameter in PROTOCOL.INI. ICause: Conflicting parameter values were found while processing the IBM Token-Ring Network Driver section of PROTOCOL.INI. Action: Examine the configuration parameters and correct the conflicting values in PROTOCOL.INI. ICause: One of the following conditions has caused this error. - The logical primary/alternate setting in the PROTOCOL.INI file does not map to the physical primary/alternate setting. - The adapter is not responding to a request to start. - There is no physical adapter in this machine. Action: If there is already an adapter in this system, check the logical primary/alternate setting. Check the cable and ensure that the connection to the token-ring network addressable unit (NAU) is functioning properly. Then run the hardware diagnostics for the token-ring adapter to ensure that the adapter and options are correctly installed. If there is no adapter in this machine, install a token-ring adapter or remove the device driver statement from the CONFIG.SYS file. ICause: An unexpected error occurred when the program attempted to open the protocol manager. Action: Check the drive and directory to ensure that the protocol manager is located in the specified path. ICause: The IBM Token-Ring Network adapter encountered a wire fault. Action: 1. Check and secure all cable connections between your adapter and the Multistation Access Unit (MSAU). Correct any related problems and try the operation again. 2. If there are no related problems, refer to the documentation that was shipped with your adapter to run adapter diagnostics; then try the operation again. 3. If the problem persists, print or save the LANTRAN.LOG file and contact your service coordinator. ICause: The requested DIR.OPEN.ADAPTER parameter has not allowed enough receive buffer space in the adapter shared RAM area. Action: Reduce the RAM requirements by reconfiguring the parameters in PROTOCOL.INI. The parameters that will reduce the space requirements for the receive buffer are the transmit buffers (if more than 1 is specified). ICause: The node address defined is not valid. Action: Specify a valid node address. Refer to the IBM Token-Ring network arhitecture reference for node address restrictions. ICause: The receive buffer length defined in PROTOCOL.INI is not valid. The value specified must be greater than the allowable minimum, less than the allowable maximum, and a multiple of 8. Action: Specify a valid receive buffer length. ICause: The adapter transmit buffer length defined in PROTOCOL.INI is not valid. The value specified must be greater than the allowable minimum, less than the allowable maximum, and a multiple of 8. Action: Specify a valid adapter transmit buffer length. ICause: You are attempting to load more than two Token-Ring Shared Ram device drivers. Action: Use the "Configure LAN transports" utility in LAPS to configure a maximum of two "IBM Token-Ring Network Adapters" or "Token-Ring Network Adapters" in any combination. Also, verify that you are attempting to load no more than two instances of any combination of IBMTOK.OS2 or TOK.OS2 in your CONFIG.SYS file. ECause: While attempting to open a new Token-Ring adapter using the autosense configuration option, it was determined that the adapter was the only station on the ring. The adapter will not be allowed to open in order to prevent possible network disruptions. Action: Restart the application at a later time, when at least one other station is on the ring. As an alternative, reconfigure the adapter for manual mode, specifying the correct speed of the Token-Ring to which the adapter is connected, then restart the computer. ICause: The adapter was closed because of an unexpected error condition. Action: See the message log, LANTRAN.LOG, for additional information about this error.
