- LAN Manager* 2.2 Workstation/Server installation notes for Intel's
- EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100B PCI LAN Adapter
- ==================================================================
-
- Location of Driver: \NDIS\MSLANMAN.BAT
-
-
- MSLANMAN.BAT will create the following directory structure on a local
- hard drive:
-
- \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\E100B\E100B.DOS (DOS NDIS driver)
- \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\E100B\PROTOCOL.INI
- \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF\E100B.NIF
-
- \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\E100B\E100B.OS2 (OS/2 NDIS driver)
- \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\E100B\PROTOCOL.INI
- \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\NIF\E100B.NIF
-
-
- Sample Configuration Files
- --------------------------
-
- CONFIG.SYS (for DOS) will include these lines:
-
- DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN
- DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\E100B.DOS
-
- CONFIG.SYS (for OS/2) will include these lines:
-
- DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN /I:C:\LANMAN
- DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\E100B.OS2
-
- PROTOCOL.INI will contain these lines:
-
- [E100B_NIF]
- ; PROTOCOL.INI section for Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100B adapters
-
- DRIVERNAME = E100B$
-
-
- General Installation
- --------------------
-
- 1 Create the directory structure needed for the LAN Manager installation
- by running the batch file MSLANMAN.BAT. It will create the
- directories at the root of the specified drive and copy the necessary
- files.
-
- 2 Run the appropriate Microsoft LAN Manager setup for the computer you
- are setting up (DOS, OS/2 or OS/2 Server). When prompted for the LAN
- adapter driver, select "Other Driver" (the EtherExpress PRO/100B
- driver isn't included on the LAN Manager disk) and specify the drive
- from step 1. Select the EtherExpress PRO/100B driver and follow the
- directions.
-
- 3 When completed, reboot your computer in order for changes to take
- effect.
-
-
- Hints and Tips
- --------------
-
- 1 Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:
-
- DRIVERNAME: (required) If you have a single adapter, use the syntax in
- the Sample Configuration file section. If you are installing
- multiple adapters, each adapter must have a unique driver name.
- Additional instances of the driver would be referenced by
- DRIVERNAME=E100Bx$, where "x" is a unique number 2 through 9.
-
- 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]
-
- NODE: (optional) This value sets the adapter's Individual Address,
- overriding the value read from the adapter EEprom. The address must
- consist of 12 hexadecimal digits, enclosed in double quotes. The
- value can not be all zeros. The value can not have the Multicast
- bit set. So, use only the hexadecimal digits 2, 6, A, or E as the
- second digit of the twelve required in the NODE ADDRESS parameter.
- Use any hexadecimal digits in all other positions.
-
- [Example: NODE = "02AA00123456"]
-
- 2 Sample PROTOCOL.INI for LAN Manager:
-
- [PROTMAN]
- DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
- DYNAMIC = YES
- PRIORITY = NETBEUI
-
- [NETBEUI_XIF]
- Drivername = netbeui$
- SESSIONS = 6
- NCBS = 12
- BINDINGS = "E100B_NIF"
- LANABASE = 0
-
- [E100B_NIF]
- ; PROTOCOL.INI section for the Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B adapter
- DRIVERNAME = E100B$
