- LAN Server installation notes for Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100B PCI LAN
- Adapters:
- =========================================================================
-
- Location of files: \NDIS\E100B.OS2 (OS/2* driver)
- \NDIS\E100BEO2.NIF
-
- or
-
- \NDIS\E100B.DOS (DOS driver)
- \NDIS\E100BEDS.NIF (DLR and LSP installation file)
-
- NOTE: LAN Requester needs DOS 3.3 through 5, but if you're using DOS 6.0
- or higher, run SETVER.EXE prior to using the executable files found
- on the DOS LAN Requester disks. See your DOS manual if you need
- help with SETVER.EXE.
-
-
- Sample configuration file
- -------------------------
-
- PROTOCOL.INI (will include):
-
- [E100B_NIF]
- DriverName = E100B$
-
-
- General installation - LAN Server and OS/2 Requester (4.0 or 3.0)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1 Run the MPTS utility with LAN Server 4.0 or OS/2 Requester 4.0 (Run
- the LAPS utility with LAN Server 3.0 or OS/2 Requester 3.0)
-
- 2 Click Install.
-
- 3 When prompted, insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk in a
- floppy drive, specify A:\NDIS for driver location, and click OK.
-
- 4 When Install reads the E100BEO2.NIF, installation is complete. Click
- OK. The adapter driver has been copied to your system.
-
- 5 Click Configure from the MPTS window.
-
- 6 At the Configure window, make sure the LAN adapters and protocols
- button is on and click CONFIGURE.
-
- 7 At the LAPS Configuration window, select the Intel EtherExpress
- PRO/100B adapter (OS/2 driver: E100B.OS2) from the Network Adapters
- window.
-
- Click Add in the Network Adapter window to add the PRO/100B PCI
- adapter to the current configuration.
-
- 8 Select your desired Protocol(s) from the Protocol window and click Add
- from this window to add the protocol(s) to the current configuration.
-
- 9 Click OK when you're done and follow the prompts to exit MPTS. Your
- CONFIG.SYS is automatically updated.
-
- Shutdown and reset your system so the changes can take effect.
-
-
- General installation under DOS (DOS LAN Services)
- =================================================
-
- NOTE: Due to a problem with the DLS installation utility, you need to
- complete the following steps before executing the installation of
- DLS:
-
- 1 On DLS Diskette 1, make a directory off the root called NDIS.
-
- 2 Copy the file E100B.DOS (from the \NDIS directory of the Intel
- Configuration and Drivers) into this new directory \NDIS on DLS
- Diskette 1.
-
- 1 Run the DOS LAN Services installation program at the DOS workstation.
- Follow the prompts.
-
- 2 When presented with an adapter list, select Network card not shown in
- list below.
-
- 3 When prompted for the location of the OEMSETUP.INF file, insert the
- Intel Configuration and Drivers disk in your drive and enter A:\NDIS
- as the path.
-
- 4 Select the Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B adapter from the list. Follow
- the prompts.
-
- 5 Enter your machine name, username and domain name.
-
- 6 Set the options as you need; then highlight "The listed options are
- correct" and press Enter.
-
- 7 Accept the defaults on the next screen, highlight "The listed options
- are correct" and press Enter.
-
- 8 Set the Speed, Duplex mode, or Slot Device if needed. We recommend
- accepting the defaults. Then highlight "The listed options are
- correct" and press Enter.
-
- 9 You may be asked to insert DLS disks. Follow the prompts to complete
- the installation and restart your computer for changes to take effect.
-
-
- General Installation under DOS: LAN Support Program (LSP)
- =========================================================
-
- 1 Run DXMAID from the LAN Support Program disk.
-
- 2 Follow the prompts and instructions.
-
- 3 When prompted, insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk and
- enter the pathname A:\NDIS.
-
- 4 The default configuration is suitable for most environments. We
- recommend accepting the defaults.
-
- 5 After the installation is complete, restart your computer for the
- changes to take affect.
-
-
- General Installation under DOS (DOS LAN Requester)
- ==================================================
-
- 1 Run the DOS LAN Requester installation program at the DOS workstation.
- Follow the prompts to configure your DOS LAN Requester as you require.
-
- 2 After the installation is complete, restart your computer for the
- changes to take affect.
-
-
- Advanced settings
- =================
-
- SPEED: (optional; parameters are [Auto / 10 / 100]) The parameter
- disables Auto-Speed Detect and causes the adapter to function at
- the speed indicated. If the FORCEDUPLEX parameter is assigned to
- either 1 or 2, the SPEED parameter is required because auto-speed
- sensing is disabled if the duplex mode is forced. Auto-negotiate
- devices cannot detect speed changes in this configuration until the
- driver is reloaded.[Example: SPEED=100]
-
- FORCEDUPLEX: Full duplex and auto-negotiate capabilities vary between
- the PRO/100 TX and the PRO/100 T4 adapters.
-
- EtherExpress PRO/100B TX adapter: Supports auto-negotiate, full
- and half duplex at 10 or 100 Mbps.
-
- EtherExpress PRO/100B T4 adapter: Supports full and half duplex
- at 10 Mbps; supports only half duplex at 100 Mbps. Auto-
- negotiate is not a valid option at either speed.
-
- This parameter disables Auto-Negotiate capability and forces the
- adapter to operate in Half or Full Duplex mode. The SPEED parameter
- must be specified and must be valid if the default of Auto-
- negotiate is changed. Options for FORCEDUPLEX are Auto (for auto-
- negotiate), 1 (for half), 2 (for full). [Example: FORCEDUPLEX = 2]
-
- SLOT: (required for multiple adapters) This parameter is optional if
- only one adapter is present. If it is specified but is incorrect,
- a message indicates that the value doesn't match the configuration
- but the driver finds the adapter and loads anyway.
-
- This parameter is required if more than one adapter is present in
- either one bus or multiple PCI buses of a system. The parameter
- tells the driver which adapter it controls. The SLOT number is the
- encoded value of the PCI adapter's device location. To determine
- the slot number, load the driver with only the DRIVERNAME parameter
- specified. The driver reports all the slots that have PCI
- adapter(s) installed. You can determine which card is in which slot
- by using SETUP.EXE and matching the Ethernet addresses of the
- adapter to the device number specified in View Configuration.
- [Example: SLOT=0x1C]
