Tips for enabling NTS/2 for PCMCIA sockets 4/20/94
TIPS FOR ENABLING IBM OS/2 NETWORK TRANSPORT SERVICES (NTS/2)
TO WORK WITH PCMCIA SOCKETS
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
Unable to get PCMCIA modem to work with NTS/2.
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
Verify the following:
1. Socket Services must be loaded (Version 1.1 or 1.2).
2. PCMCIA support (Card Services) from OS/2 2.1 Setup and
Installation must be installed.
3. IBM OS/2 Network Transport Services/2 (NTS/2) with the
appropriate PCMCIA adapter driver must be installed.
4. Power must be enabled to the sockets via the "Power
Management Utility".
5. There must be no hardware conflicts.
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
PCMCIA is a new standard that is recognized by many
manufacturers including IBM. It is very similar to an
LPT or COM port. To enable NTS/2 to work with PCMCIA
sockets, check the following:
1. Socket Services must be loaded (Version 1.1 or 1.2).
Socket Services comes with the laptop (such as an
IBM 720C) on a separate diskette. Socket Services
enables the interfacing directly with the hardware
sockets.
For IBM OS/2, the following drivers must be loaded
in config.sys:
$ICPMOS2.SYS
IBM2SSO2.SYS (IBM2SS01.SYS for ISA bus machines)
ICRMUO2.SYS (ICRMUO1.SYS for ISA bus machines)
These drivers are supported by PS/2 hardware support
1-800-772-2227.
2. PCMCIA Support (Card Services) from OS/2 2.1 Setup and
Installation must be installed. The following drivers
will be loaded in the CONFIG.SYS:
PCMCIA.SYS
VPCMCIA.SYS
These drivers are supported by OS/2 Base support.
3. IBM OS/2 Network Transport Services/2 (NTS/2) with the
appropriate PCMCIA adapter driver must be installed:
IBMTOKCS.OS2 - IBM Token Ring Credit Card Driver
PCM_CS.OS2 - Ethernet Credit Card Driver
4. Power must be enabled to the sockets via the Power
Management Utility.
5. There must be no hardware conflicts in any of the
following:
MMIO conflicts
RAM conflicts
Interrupt conflicts
