TITLE LAN ENABLER 2.0, OS/2 LAN SERVER 2.0 SOFTCOPY LIBRARY
ABSTRACT The IBM LAN Enabler 2.0 offers the OS/2 (R) Requester, LAN
Support Program and DOS LAN Requester (DLR), identical in function to
the requesters included with the IBM OS/2 LAN Server 2.0, in a
separate licensed program. Connectivity to 80286 and 80386
workstations is enabled, including OS/2 LAN Server 2.0, Microsoft (1)
LAN Manager 2.0 and other compatible servers. This allows customers
using IBM OS/2 2.0 to access NetBios, NDIS-based and 802.2-based
subsystems at an economical price.
IBM OS/2 LAN Server 2.0 Softcopy Library provides the
publications for OS/2 LAN Server 2.0 on 3.5-inch media. These
publications are for display using BookMaster (R) READ products.
Planned Availability Date: June 5, 1992.

DESCRIPTION
EXPLOITATION
IBM LAN Enabler Version 2.0 provides customers with a LAN enablement
option for OS/2 SE 1.3 and OS/2 2.0. This allows customers running
OS/2 to run NetBios, NDIS and 802.2 applications without acquiring
OS/2 LAN Server 2.0 or Extended Services/2.
The OS/2 LAN Requester included in this program package
provides connectivity to servers from both 80286 and 80386
architecture workstations, including IBM LAN Server 2.0, Microsoft
LAN Manager 2.0, and other compatible servers.
FUNCTIONALITY
The Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) is a standard
interface for network adapter drivers and protocol drivers. NDIS
separates protocol handling from hardware manipulation by defining
functions that protocol drivers and network adapter drivers need.
NDIS has become an industry standard, providing a common open
interface that enables different manufacturers of network adapters
and LAN software to communicate.
A network adapter driver provides the communication between a
network adapter and a protocol. The main function of the network
adapter driver is to support network transmissions. A protocol
driver provides the communication between an application and a
network adapter driver.
LAN Adapter and Protocol Support, network communication
software, is a combination of NDIS-compliant protocols drivers, API
support software, and configuration and installation software for
these drivers. LAN Adapter and Protocol Support is included in both
IBM Extended Services for OS/2, IBM OS/2 LAN Server Version 2.0 and
in IBM LAN Enabler Version 2.0. It consists of the network
communication software necessary to support the LAN connectivity
needed by Extended Services/2 and OS/2 LAN Server 2.0.
In addition to the OS/2 API support, LAN Adapter and Protocol
Support provides OS/2 2.0 Virtual LAN Support. This will enable
existing DOS NetBios applications (used in LAN applications) running
in the OS/2 2.0 Virtual DOS Machine environment to share an adapter
with other DOS and OS/2 NetBios applications running on the same
machine.
A suite of NDIS network adapter drivers is shipped with
Extended Services/2, OS/2 LAN Server 2.0 and now IBM LAN Enabler
Version 2.0. New NDIS network adapter drivers from both IBM and
qualified OEM vendors are made available by downloading from the IBM
National Support Center Bulletin Board System.
