- README File for NCR DOS and OS2 STARLAN
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- The instructions for installing an NCR StarLAN adapter in a PC are included
- in the packing box with each adapter and cable.
-
- The board has only one jumper. Since this is a test jumper for manufacturing
- only, no jumper changes should be necessary. No hardware configuration is
- required for IRQ level, port addresses, etc. (These options are selected
- in PROTOCOL.INI.)
-
-
- HUB CONNECTIONS:
-
- To connect the StarLAN adapters together in a network, use the StarLAN cable
- to attach each adapter to the StarLAN hub. Connect each cable to one of the
- hub jacks numbered 1-11. Do not use the HO jack; it is used for connecting
- multiple hubs. The hub power cable connector is on the side of the hub.

-
-
- SLN001: Invalid Keyword "data" found in PROTOCOL.INI
-
- You have changed or added an invalid keyword in the protocol.ini
- file. Remove the invalid keyword from the file.
-
-
- SLN002:
-
- This error is reserved for future use.
-
-
- SLN003: DRIVERNAME Keyword not found in PROTOCOL.INI
-
- The keyword DRIVERNAME must appear in the protocol.ini file in
- each module section.
-
-
- SLN004: Drivername "data" was not found in PROTOCOL.INI
-
- The drivername must be STARLAN$ in the protocol.ini file.
-
-
- SLN005: Multiple occurrences of Keyword "data" found in PROTOCOL.INI
-
- There is more than one occurence of the keyword "data" in the
- protocol.ini file. Remove the extra occurences.
-
-
- SLN006: Parameter on Keyword "data" is required to be an integer
-
- Integer parameters must start with a numeric digit and not be
- enclosed in quotes. Start with an 0x to express a hexadecimal
- value, otherwise the value is interpreted to be decimal.
-
-
- SLN007: Parameter on Keyword "data" is required to be a string
-
- String parameters must start with a non numeric character or must
- be enclosed in quotes.
-
-
- SLN008: Parameter "data" on Keyword "data" is invalid
-
- The integer value you entered for the keyword shown is an invalid
- number for that keyword.
-
-
- SLN009: Parameter "data" on Keyword "data" is invalid
-
- The string you entered for the keyword shown is an invalid value.
-
-
- SLN010: Invalid number of parameters on Keyword "data"
-
- You may have only one parameter for the keyword. Remove the extra
- parameter.
-
-
- SLN011: GetProtocolInfo call failed
-
- The Protocol Manager did not load properly. Verify that protman.dos
- or protman.os2 is specified properly in config.sys and that the
- referenced protocol.ini file exists.
-
-
- SLN012: Error communicating with Protocol Manager
-
- The Protocol Manager did not load properly. Verify that protman.dos
- or protman.os2 is specified properly in config.sys and that the
- referenced protocol.ini file exists.
-
-
- SLN013:
-
- This error is reserved for future use.
-
-
- SLN014: Could not open Protocol Manager
-
- The Protocol Manager did not load properly. Verify that protman.dos
- or protman.os2 is specified properly in config.sys and that the
- referenced protocol.ini file exists.
-
-
- SLN015: Could not register with Protocol Manager
-
- The Protocol Manager did not load properly. Verify that protman.dos
- or protman.os2 is specified properly in config.sys and that the
- referenced protocol.ini file exists.
-
-
- SLN016: Error setting IRQ level
-
- The interrupt you chose for the board may be used by another driver.
- Check parameters for this and previously loaded drivers. You may
- need to select a different value for the INTERRUPT keyword in
- protocol.ini.
-
-
- SLN017: Out of dynamic memory
-
- The amount of memory allocated for buffers was too large. Decrease
- the values of NUM_GENREQ, NUM_RCV_BUFS, SIZE_RCV_BUFS, and
- NUM_XMT_BUFS in the protocol.ini file.
-
-
- SLN018: Invalid node address read from LAN ID ROM at "data"
-
- Your adapter board either is not installed in the PC or it may be
- defective. Run the diagnostics program.
-
-
- SLN019: Invalid DMA straps
-
- The values for keywords DMA_CHANNEL0 and DMA_CHANNEL1 in protocol.ini
- may be invalid. Check protocol.ini to ensure that the values for
- the two keywords are not equal. If this message is displayed when
- the default DMA channel values are used, then the board either is
- not installed or may be defective. Run the diagnostics program.
-
-
- SLN020: Diagnostic Failed
-
- Your board may be defective. Run the diagnostics program.
-
-
- SLN021: Initialization Failed: Timed out waiting for interrupt
-
- The interrupt you chose for the board may be used by another driver.
- Check parameters for this and previously loaded drivers. You may
- need to select a different value for the INTERRUPT keyword in
- protocol.ini. If none of the valid interrupt values work, your
- adapter board either may not be installed in the PC or it may be
- defective. Run the diagnostics program.
-
-
- SLN022: Warning: Keyword "data" in PROTOCOL.INI is ignored in the 7052
-
- You entered a keyword in protocol.ini which is ignored when running
- on a 7052 or 7052D. Use the 7052 Configuration Setup menu for
- StarLAN to change this parameter. This message should never occur
- when the StarLAN card is installed on a PC.
-
-
- SLN023: Could not get receive buffer
-
- The values entered for keywords NUM_RCV_BUFS and SIZE_RCV_BUFS in
- protocol.ini may be invalid.
