- These are the LAN Drivers for Token-Ring. Below is a DESCRIPTION of EACH file
- in this kit:
-
- ATOKENA2.obj -| These are the NEW 286 OS Token-Ring Drivers. They will
- BTOKENA2.obj |__ be configurable by TRConfig.com. They need to be gen'ed
- CTOKENA2.obj | with NETGEN. These drivers work with RPL.vp1 to support
- DTOKENA2.ojb -| Remote Program Load. The DEFAULT Transmit Buffer Size is
- set to 2048 to allow MORE SERVICE Processes.
-
- SLANSUP.obj - This is the OBJECT code for SLANSUP.com. It can be gen'ed
- with the customer's IPX (if desired).
-
- ROUTE.com - This is the Source Routing Driver for the DOS Workstation.
- It can be used with EITHER the SLANSUP.com or STOKEN.com. It
- should be loaded AFTER IPX and BEFORE the SHELL.
- Type ROUTE ? for a HELP Panel.
-
- ROUTE.nlm - This is the Source Routing Driver for NetWare 386. It should
- be loaded AFTER TOKEN.lan.
-
- ROUTE.vp0 - This is the Source Routing VAP for the NetWare 286 OS. It
- needs to be put on the SYS:SYSTEM directory of the OS. After
- it is loaded on the OS, type ROUTE ? for a description of its
- parameters. It is named ROUTE.vp0 because it should be the
- FIRST VAP that is loaded.
-
- RPL.vp1 - This is the Remote Program Load VAP for the NetWare 286 OS.
- It needs to be put on the SYS:SYSTEM directory of the OS.
-
- RPCONFIG.com - This is the Configuration utility for RPL.vp1. It is menu
- driven. Just type RPCONFIG and it will help you along.
-
- SRCONFIG.com - This is the Configuration utility for ROUTE.vp0. It is menu
- driven. Just type SRCONFIG and it will help you along.
-
- TOKEN.lan - This is the IBM Token-Ring 386 Driver.
-
- TOKEN.rpl - This is the file that RPL.vp1 uses to DOWNLOAD to the
- WORKSTATION when the RPL boot ROM requests to be loaded.
- It needs to be put on the SYS:LOGIN directory of the OS,
- IF RPL is REQUIRED.
-
- TRCONFIG.com - This is the Configuration utility for ATOKENA2.obj,
- BTOKENA2.obj, CTOKENA2.obj, and DTOKENA2.obj. Just type
- TRCONFIG and it will help you along.
-
- STOKEN.obj - This is the OBJECT module for STOKEN.com. It may be gen'ed
- with the customer's IPX to create an IPX.com.
-
-
- CONFIGURING the DOS Workstation:
-
- This discussion refers to 2 versions of IPX.com: SLANSUP.com and STOKEN.com.
- Both files are generated to IPX.com; the difference in names is used here
- merely to make a distinction between the IPX.com generated for the LAN
- Support Program (SLANSUP.obj) and that generated with STOKEN.obj.
-
-
- <SLANSUP>.com - This is a Client IPX Driver for the IBM Token-Ring generated
- with the IBM LAN Support Program. It works with ROUTE.com if
- Source Routing is REQUIRED. Its DEFAULT Transmit Buffer Size
- is 1024.
-
- <STOKEN>.com - This is a NATIVE Token-Ring Driver for the DOS Workstation.
- IT DOES NOT REQUIRE the IBM LAN Support Program. It is
- FASTER and SMALLER than SLANSUP.com. This module has the
- IPX already gen'ed in. It works with ROUTE.com if Source
- Routing is REQUIRED. Its DEFAULT Transmit Buffer Size is 4096
- for the 16/4 MBps Adapter Cards, 2048 for the OLD 4 MBps
- cards.
-
-
- <SLANSUP>.com can be configured by typing in the following parameters when
- it is loaded:
-
- IPX o,ALT/PRI,mem=xx00,node=xxxxxxxx
-
- where:
- o - REQUIRED to override SHELL.cfg.
- ALT - Configure the Driver as the ALTERNATE Adapter
- PRI - Configure the Driver as the PRIMARY Adapter -- DEFAULT
- mem=xx00 xx00 is a HEXADECIMAL address of where Shared Ram
- is located. The DEFAULT is D800 for PRIMARY, D400 for
- ALTERNATE.
-
- node=xx xx is up to an 8 byte HEXADECIMAL Number specifying the
- Node Address. 4000h will be PREFIXED to this number to
- to form a 6 byte NODE Address: 4000 xxxx xxxx.
-
- <STOKEN>.com can be configured by typing in the following parameters when
- it is loaded:
-
- IPX o,ALT/PRI,mem=xx00,node=xxxxxxxx,slot=n,tbz=nnnn
-
- where:
- o - REQUIRED to override SHELL.cfg.
- ALT - Configure the Driver as the ALTERNATE Adapter
- PRI - Configure the Driver as the PRIMARY Adapter -- DEFAULT
- mem=xx00 xx00 is a HEXADECIMAL address of where Shared Ram
- is located. The DEFAULT is D800 for PRIMARY, D400 for
- ALTERNATE.
-
- node=xx xx is up to an 8 byte HEXADECIMAL Number specifying the
- Node Address. 4000h will be PREFIXED to this number to
- to form a 6 byte NODE Address: 4000 xxxx xxxx.
-
- slot=n n is a DECIMAL number specifying the MICROCHANNEL slot
- number where the board is located. ONLY valid if on a
- MICROCHANNEL Machine.
-
- tbz=nnnn nnnn is a DECIMAL number from 0 to 65535 specifying the
- Transmit Buffer Size on the Adapter. The DEFAULT is
- 4096. If this number is larger than the board can
- handle, the driver will ADJUST it to the LARGEST size
- the board will accept.
-
- ALL Parameters are separated by COMMAs or BLANKS, are OPTIONAL, are NOT case
- sensitive, and may be entered in ANY order.
