- ToshibaLAN Drivers for LAN Manager 2.0
- ======================================
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Microsoft's LAN Manager is a network operating system that provides file
- sharing, resource sharing, as well as network management. The ToshibaLAN
- card combined with its LAN Manager drivers make it possible to connect your
- Toshiba computers to a network managed by LAN Manager.
-
- Toshiba's LAN Manager Drivers V. 2.0 support Microsoft LAN Manager 2.0 for
- MS-OS/2 server, MS-OS/2 client and MS-DOS client. The driver accommodates
- only one ToshibaLAN card in a single system.
-
- This README file explains how to install the driver software. In addition,
- it provides information you need to configure your ToshibaLAN card.
-
-
- LAN Manager Requirements
- ------------------------
-
- LAN Manager 2.0 makes the following requirements:
-
- Server: MS OS/2 1.2 (Toshiba OS/2 1.2)
- OS/2 Client: MS OS/2 1.2 (Toshiba OS/2 1.2)
- MS-DOS Client: MS-DOS 3.0 and above (Toshiba DOS 3.2 and above)
-
-
- Driver Files
- ------------
-
- The volume name of the diskette that contains the Toshiba LAN Manager driver
- is TSBETHER_LM. It contains the following directories and files.
-
- \MSLANMAN.OS2
- \DRIVERS
- \ETHERNET
- \TSBETHER
- TSBETHER.OS2 - OS/2 driver
- PROTOCOL.INI - Adapter information
- \NIF
- TSBETHER.NIF - Network information
- \MSLANMAN.DOS
- \DRIVERS
- \ETHERNET
- \TSBETHER
- TSBETHER.DOS - DOS driver
- PROTOCOL.INI - Adapter information
- \NIF
- TSBETHER.NIF - Network information
-
-
- Installing the Driver
- ---------------------
-
- Follow these steps:
-
- 1. Refer to the chapter entitled Installation in the ToshibaLAN Network
- Installation Manual (C117-0689A1) to determine which configuration to
- use.
-
- 2. Configure the ToshibaLAN card according to the hardware configuration
- you chose in step 1.
-
- 3. Use the LAN Manager SETUP utility to install the driver. Microsoft's
- LAN Manager Installation Guide explains how to use the setup utility.
-
- If the following message appears while running the SETUP utility:
-
- Program too big to fit in memory
-
- stop all network activities by typing:
-
- NET STOP RDR /y
-
- and run the SETUP utility again.
-
- 4. Use a plain editor to edit the TSBETHER_NIF section of PROTOCOL.INI in
- \LANMAN.DOS or \LANMAN to match the configuration you decided on in
- step 1.
-
- 5. Restart (reboot) the computer to make the new configuration effective.
-
- NOTE: PROTOCOL.INI configurations must match the ToshibaLAN hardware
- configurations. Otherwise, you will experience unexpected results.
-
-
- Configuring the Driver
- ----------------------
-
- The configuration file, PROTOCOl.INI contains the configuration and binding
- information for all protocol and MAC modules in the system. The Microsoft
- LAN Manager Network Device Driver Guide has more information regarding
- PROTOCOL.INI.
-
- The default module name (in PROTOCOL.INI) for the Toshiba driver is
- TSBETHER_NIF. This section documents the driver options you may include
- as part of the TSBETHER_NIF module.
-
- DRIVERNAME
-
- This is the name of the device. This entry is required.
-
- Type: ASCII text
-
- Values: TSBETH$
-
- Example: DRIVERNAME=TSBETH$
-
- INTERRUPT
-
- This is an optional field used to define the hardware interrupt level
- (IRQ). The jumper setting must match this entry.
-
- Type: numeric
-
- Values: 3,4,5,7,9,10
-
- Default: 9
-
- Example: INTERRUPT=9
-
- IOBASE
-
- This entry specifies the location of the 32 I/O ports in the I/O space.
- The switch settings must match this entry.
-
- Type: Hexadecimal
-
- Syntax: 0xnnn (where nnn is the base I/O address)
-
- Values: 0x200, 0x220, 0x240,... 0x3C0, 0x3E0
-
- Default: 0x280
-
- Example: IOBASE=0x280
-
- MEMORYBASE
-
- The ToshibaLAN card has 64K on-board, shared memory (SRAM). This entry
- specifies the base of the SRAM. No hardware settings are required.
-
- Type: Hexadecimal
-
- Syntax: 0xnnnnn (where nnnnn is the base memory address)
-
- Values: 0xC8000, 0xD0000, 0xD8000, 0xE0000, 0xE8000
-
- Default: 0xD0000
-
- Example: MEMORYBASE=0xD0000
-
- MEMORYSIZE
-
- This entry specifies the size of the shared memory (SRAM) to use. No
- hardware settings are required.
-
- Type: Numeric in kilobyte increments
-
- Values: 64, 32
-
- Default: 64
-
- Example: MEMORYSIZE=64
-
- NOTE: MEMORYBASE and MEMORYSIZE parameters configure the SRAM usage.
- Make sure the SRAM configuration does not cross the 64K boundary.
- That is, if you use all 64K, the only MEMORYBASE options allowed
- are 0xD0000 and 0xE0000.
