- "PLUS" FAMILY LAN ADAPTER BOARDS
-
- INSTALLING OS/2 REQUESTER
- -------------------------
-
-
- MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
-
- 1) 80286, 80386, or 80486-Based System
- 2) 2.5 MB System RAM
- 3) 10 MB Hard Disk
- 4) OS/2 Installation Package (Version 1.10 or later)
- 5) NetWare for OS/2 (Version 1.1 or later)
- a) OS/2 Requester Software
- b) OS/2 Public Software
- 6) Driver Software for OS/2
- a) smc8000.sys
- b) net.cfg
-
- INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
-
- 1) Install OS/2 using the instructions provided with
- the OS/2 package.
-
- 2) Install NetWare using the instructions provided with
- the NetWare package.
-
- 3) Copy 'SMC8000.SYS' to either the root directory or to a
- subdirectory off the root, such as C:\DRIVER or C:\NETWARE.
-
- 4) Copy NET.CFG to the directory where 'SMC8000.SYS' is loaded.
- If one does exist, follow these instructions:
-
- a) Copy the new NET.CFG to the root directory making sure
- to give the new NET.CFG a different name from the existing
- NET.CFG. For example:
-
- copy a:\net.cfg c:\netware\newnet.cfg
-
- b) Append the new configuration file to the end of the
- existing NET.CFG file. For example:
-
- append c:\net.cfg;c:\newnet.cfg
-
- This file is used to configure the entire operating system,
- not just the driver.
-
- 5) Modify CONFIG.SYS
-
- Note: The following instructions are also provided
- in the documentation files included in the
- NetWare installation diskette.
-
- a) After installing the NetWare package, the files
- CONFIG.PST and AUTOEXEC.PST (for version 1.2 only)
- will appear in the root directory. These files must be
- appended to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files
- respectively. For example:
-
- append c:\config.sys c:\config.pst
- append c:\autoexec.bat c:\autoexec.pst
-
- b) Use your text editor to insert 'C:\NETWARE' as the first
- directory path in your LIBPATH statement.
-
- c) Use your text editor to insert 'C:\NETWARE' as the last
- directory path in your DPATH statement.
-
- d) Add the statement which loads the LAN interface
- board driver just before the IPX.SYS statement. For
- example:
-
- device=C:\smc8000.sys
-
- or
-
- device=C:\DRIVER\smc8000.sys
-
- or
-
- device=C:\NETWARE\smc8000.sys
-
- depending on whether SMC8000.SYS is loaded from the
- root, the \DRIVER, or the \NETWARE directory.
-
-
- USING NET.CFG
-
- 1) There is no need to use the NET.CFG file if the
- EtherCard PLUS adapter is an AT adapter
- configured with the default settings:
-
- Base I/O Address: 280
- Interrupt IRQ: 3
- RAM Base Address: D000
-
- 2) If the adapter being used is software configurable
- then only the Base I/O Address (if it is not 280)
- must be specified.
-
- 3) To change the Base I/O Address, locate the line in
- NET.CFG which reads
-
- Port #1 280 20
-
- and change '280' to the appropriate Base I/O Address.
-
- 3) To change the Interrupt IRQ, locate the line in
- NET.CFG which reads
-
- Int #1 3
-
- and change '3' to the appropriate Interrupt IRQ.
-
- 4) To change the RAM Base Address, locate the line in
- NET.CFG which reads
-
- Mem #1 000D0000 2000/10
-
- and change '000D0000' to the appropriate RAM Base
- Address.
-
- For example,
-
- Mem #1 000C8000 2000/10
-
- causes the driver to use C8000 as the RAM Base Address.
-
- 5) When using a Micro Channel machine, the PS/2 Slot
- entry in the NET.CFG file must be specified. Locate
- the line which reads
-
- PS/2 Slot ?
-
- and change the '?' to the slot number desired.
-
- Note: The ';' in the first column of the NET.CFG file
- denotes an ignored line. Delete this symbol
- from all used lines and insert it into all unused
- lines, or delete unused lines altogether.
