║ Above Board: Installing with an IBM Token Ring Adapter ║
║ ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
IBM TOKEN RING (& 16/4)
Compatible with Above Boards and EMM. If the Above Board will be
providing extended memory, there will be nothing to reconfigure with
the Token Ring Card. If the Above Board is providing expanded memory,
the Token Ring and the Above Board must be set up so they don't
conflict with each other in reserved memory.
To set up EMM and a Token Ring card:
1. Use the D000 parameter in the DEVICE=EMM.SYS line for AT's, E000
for PCs.
2. Set switches 1-6 on block #1 of the Token Ring Board to use CC000
(which is the default) as the ROM starting address. (pgs 2-3 of
Token Ring manual)
3. In AT systems it will be necessary to change the shared RAM address
using the TOKREUI command or DXMC0MOD.SYS (or DXMC1MOD.SYS) driver
(drivers for IBM LAN Support Program, ver 1.0.). In PC systems this
step isn't necessary.
With newer lan software use the device driver: Device=DXMC0MOD.SYS
,C800. With the original Token Ring software, add the command
TOKREUI ,C800 to the autoexec.bat file.
If there is a long number following the DXMC1MOD.SYS driver, don't
add the space before the comma. See the next scoop cell "...long #
after DXMC1MOD.SYS" for more details.
If they have Banyon LAN software, use PCCONFIG program to change the
Shared RAM address instead of Autoexec.bat.
Pages 4-7 in the Token Ring manual describe how to reset the "shared
RAM" address. There is also a very useful Memory Map listing on page
B-2 in this manual.
TOKEN RING & "LONG # AFTER DXMC1MOD.SYS"
If you see a long number following DXMC1MOD.SYS when editing the line
to add " ,C800" for Token Ring/EMM conflicts, don't add the space. The
DXMC1MOD.SYS driver will return the error mentioned above if there is a
space inbetween the long number and ",C800" or whatever address is
used.
The 12 digit number following the DXMC1MOD.SYS driver is called the
"Locally Administered Address" (a hexidecimal address which overrides
the preprogrammed address of the board).
The "L.A.A." simplifies the process of adding workstations to the
network since all workstation addresses are preprogrammed into the
host. A workstation can then use just one preprogrammed address to be
recognized by the host.
The DMXC1MOD.SYS seems to be used when the computer will interface with
a "3270" type system. ("DXMC0" seems to be for PC only operation)
TOKEN RING & IPX
In Novell networks, it is possible to change the Shared RAM address of
the Token Ring board (which defaults at D800H) by modifying the IPX
line in the Autoexec.bat file.
The parameters are:
IPX O,PRI,MEM=xxxx
Where xxxx is the address you'd like to move the Shared RAM address to.
For instance, to move the Shared RAM address to C800H:
IPX O,PRI,MEM=C800
^this is the letter "o" as in Option, NOT the number 0 (zero).
TOKEN RING, EMM, AND 8088/8086 SYSTEMS
Since the E0000h range is not reserved for system use in 8088 and 8086
systems, try the EXPF=E000 parameter on the EMM.SYS line of the
CONFIG.SYS file. If the E0000h range is not being used by any other
add-in boards, it would be possible to move our driver out of the way
of the Token Ring drivers without having to rearrange the Token Ring
drivers to make everything fit.
