Instructions for Using the 5250 Emulation Adapter/A Under Communications Manager
With the software provided on the 5250 Emulation Adapter/A SUPPORT DISKETTE,
operation under Communications Manager is only supported with the adapter
configured as follows:
Memory address space DC000-DFFF
I/O address space 02400-C47F
Interrupt Level 5
NOTE: This level of software does not support Interrupt Sharing. You must
configure all other hardware in the system unit to avoid using Interrupt 5.
1. Configure the 5250 Emulation Adapter/A using the system unit REFERENCE
DISKETTE to the settings listed above.
2. Install Communications Manager to the target machine using the installation
procedures provided with the Communications Manager product that you are using.
3. Build and install a basic configuration file that includes a 5250 twinaxial
communications profile, according to Communications Manager instructions.
4. You will be prompted to shut down the system and reboot as part of the
install configuration process. Before doing this, perform the following:
a. Switch to an OS/2 command prompt and copy the T1P1SDD.SYS file from the
SSCM DIRECTORY of the 5250 Emulation Adapter/A SUPPORT DISKETTE to the
\CMLIB directory of the target machine.
b. Edit the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file to change the following line:
from: DEVICE=x:\CMLIB\T1P1NDD.SYS CFG=x:\CMLIB\yyyyyyyy.cfg
to: DEVICE=x:\CMLIB\T1P1SDD.SYS CFG=x:\CMLIB\yyyyyyyy.cfg
where: x represents the drive where the directory for CMLIB is located
yyyyyyyy represents the .CFG file you built during installation
Now shut down the system and restart. An error will occur when trying to install
the T1P1SDD.SYS device driver -- this is an expected error and can be corrected
on future bootings using the procedures that follow... if you are using:
Communications Manager V1.0 - use Procedure 1
Extended Services Communications Manager - use Procedure 2
Procedure 1: Modifying the Configuration File Under Communications Manager 1.0

5. Indicate the configuration that you want by selecting it from the list box
or by typing it in the entry field. In most cases, the configuration is the
name of the configuration file in your device statement. For example, if
your device statement is:
device=x:\cmlib\t1p1sdd.sys cfg=x:\cmlib\yyyyyyyy.cfg
your configuration file would be yyyyyyyy.cfg
6. Select the OK button. A small pop-up appears asking "Will this configuration
be used on the workstation". Select the YES button. A list of the types of
connections that are supported by this configuration file appears.

ADAPTER under Adapter Type.
13. In the right panel, make the following changes:
Change the I/O Port to: 241A
