-
- If you haven't already done so, first configure the I/O parameters
- of your AT-1700 adapter using the "Configure I/O Parameters" function
- of the SETUP17 Card Assistant program. Choose a base I/O address and
- interrupt level for the board that do not conflict with other devices
- installed in your PC.
-
- Before proceeding, note the I/O address that you assigned to the
- AT-1700 board when you ran SETUP17 - you will need to specify this
- address to the driver in the driver installation steps below.
-
-
- INSTALLING ON A NEW LAN MANAGER SERVER
- ======================================
-
- To use the AT-1700 in an initial LAN Manager Server installation,
- follow Lan Manager's standard installation procedure.
- The AT-1700 driver is added to the LAN Manager NOS using Microsoft's
- SETUP utility. This process is documented in the Lan Manager
- installation guide. Once you have exited the Microsoft SETUP utility,
- do not shutdown the computer unless you are using the AT-1700 default
- I/O address of 300h.
- If you are NOT using the default I/O address, refer to the
- "EDITING PROTOCOL.INI" section below for instructions on changing
- the I/O address.
-
- After exiting Microsoft's SETUP (and reconfiguring the network driver),
- reboot the computer as described in the manual. If an error
- message is displayed, ensure that the board is installed
- properly and the I/O address in PROTOCOL.INI matches the board.
-
-
- INSTALLING ON AN EXISTING LAN MANAGER SERVER
- ============================================
-
- These instructions assume that the LAN MANAGER NOS has already
- been installed on the Server. To install the AT-1700 adapter
- in an existing Server, the driver must be imported into the
- existing configuration and the Server configuration must be
- modified to include the new driver via Microsoft's SETUP utility.
- This process is documented in the Lan Manager installation guide in the
- "Managing the Configuration" chapter. Once you have exited
- Microsoft's SETUP utility, do not shutdown the computer unless you
- are using the AT-1700 default I/O address of 300h.
- If you are NOT using the default I/O address, refer to the
- "EDITING PROTOCOL.INI" section below for instructions on changing
- the I/O address.
-
- Reboot the computer as described in the manual. If an error
- message is displayed, ensure that the board is installed
- properly and the I/O address in PROTOCOL.INI matches the board.
-
-
- INSTALLING ON AN OS/2 WORKSTATION
- =================================
-
- To use the AT-1700 adapter in an OS/2 workstation, follow Lan Manager's
- standard installation procedure. The AT-1700 driver is added to the
- LAN Manager NOS using Microsoft's SETUP utility. This process is
- documented in the Lan Manager installation guide. Once you have exited
- the Microsoft SETUP utility, do not shutdown the computer unless you
- are using the AT-1700 default I/O address of 300h.
- If you are NOT using the default I/O address, refer to the
- "EDITING PROTOCOL.INI" section below for instructions on changing
- the I/O address.
-
- After exiting Microsoft's SETUP (and reconfiguring the network driver),
- reboot the computer as described in the manual. If an error
- message is displayed, ensure that the board is installed
- properly and the I/O address in PROTOCOL.INI matches the board.
-
-
- CONFIGURING THE DRIVER FOR MULTIPLE BOARDS
- ==========================================
-
- If you're putting multiple boards in one computer, be sure that each
- board has a unique I/O address and interrupt level. Use Lan Manager's
- SETUP utility to update the LAN Manager configuration to include the
- additional boards. After exiting SETUP, you must edit the PROTOCOL.INI
- file to change the I/O address parameters to match the boards. Refer
- to the "EDITING PROTOCOL.INI" section below for instructions on
- changing the I/O address.
-
-
- EDITING PROTOCOL.INI
- ====================
-
- Lan Manager uses the PROTOCOL.INI file to ensure that the
- driver and the board are configured to work together.
- The AT-1700 driver requires only one parameter, and its purpose is
- to ensure that the driver and the board are configured to
- use the same I/O address. The parameter's name is IOADDRESS.
- If a board is using an I/O address other than 300h, you must
- edit the PROTOCOL.INI file located in the directory
- \MSLANMAN to change configuration of the driver.
-
- 1. Using an editor of your choice, locate the AT-1700
- adapter section shown below:
-
- [AT1700_NIF]
-
- ; Allied Telesis AT-1700 Ethernet Adapter.
-
- IOADDRESS=0x300
- DRIVERNAME=AT1700$
-
- 2. Replace the hexdecimal I/O address with the address you
- selected when you ran SETUP17.
-
- 3. Save the file and exit.
-
- The network driver now matches the configuration of the board
- and you should continue with the rebooting of the computer.
