Section 3) Installation issues not covered in the manual
========================================================
3.1 Upgrading your Madge drivers for Windows NT
-----------------------------------------------
To upgrade from LAN Emulation Software release 1.0x.
a) Remove the existing adapter driver by using the network applet in
the Control Panel. When prompted to remove entries from the
registry, do so. When prompted to restart the machine, do so.
b) After restarting the machine, use File Manager to delete the file
ATMCFG.CPL from the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory. Then delete
the file MDGATM.INI from the directory
%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS.
c) Install the new driver by using the ADD ADAPTER feature of the
NETWORK applet in the control panel. The path for the driver on the
Madge release disk is A:\I386\LEC.
d) Restart the PC again and the new driver will load.
To upgrade from the Beta of LAN Emulation Software release 1.10:
a) Remove all the existing adapter drivers (including non-ATM drivers)
by using the network applet in the Control Panel. When prompted to
remove entries from the registry, do so. When prompted to restart
the machine, do so.
c) Install the new driver by using the ADD ADAPTER feature of the
NETWORK applet in the Control Panel. Select 'Disk provided by
manufacturer' (or, for Windows NT 4.0, select 'Have disk'). The
path for the driver on the Madge release disk is A:\I386\LEC.
Install any additional drivers you require.
d) Configure the driver in the way that you require, then restart the
PC. The ATM driver is now loaded.
3.2 Collage 25 drivers for Power PCs running Windows NT
-------------------------------------------------------
To obtain Collage 25 drivers for Power PCs running Windows NT, contact
Madge Technical Support (see Section 10) or download the files from
the Madge BBS.
**********************************************************************
NOTE: Madge do not provide drivers for the Collage 155 PCI adapter or
the Collage 155 PCI Client adapter in Power PC machines.
**********************************************************************
3.3 DOS and NetWare ODI Drivers
-------------------------------
The DOS and Netware server drivers are shipped on a single Madge disk.
This is because the DOS ATM stack uses some of the same Netware
Loadable Module (NLM) files as the Netware server's ATM stack. The
Madge installation utility, ATMSETUP.EXE, loads the NLMs into the
DOS workstation's upper memory.
The DOS and NetWare drivers now run faster than they did in release
1.0x. They also require less conventional DOS memory.
3.4 The Madge ATM Configuration file (MDGATM.INI)
-------------------------------------------------
The MDGATM.INI file contains important information about the
configuration of the ATM stack on a DOS, Netware or NT computer. Do
not edit this file. To make changes to your ATM configuration, use the
Madge ATM Manager. This program is described in Chapter 10 of the LAN
Emulation Software Installation Guide (part number: 100-190).
3.5 DOS and EMM386.EXE
-------------------------
To load the Madge drivers for DOS, you must have MS DOS version 6.22
(or above) loaded. Also, if you are using EMM386.EXE you must use
version 4.49 (or later); this is the first PCI-aware version of EMM386
(it is the version that ships with DOS 6.22).
You can obtain EMM386.EXE from the MS-DOS forum on Compuserve. To do
this, go into the Forum, search the library for EMM386, and download
the file EMM622.EXE. (This is a self extracting file which contains
instructions on upgrading.)
3.6 Windows 95 and EMM386.EXE
-----------------------------
Some versions of EMM386.EXE shipped with Windows 95 are not compatible
with the Madge (ATM) DOS ODI driver (running under Windows 95 with the
Microsoft ODI-to-NDIS mapper ODIHLP.EXE). If you are affected by this,
the driver will lock up when the system attempts to load it.
If you are using Windows 95, we recommend you to use EMM386.EXE
version 4.49 (or later). This is the PCI-aware version of EMM386 that
is supplied with DOS version 6.22.
3.7 Netware VLMs and Collage 155 drivers
----------------------------------------
For best performance on DOS workstations that are using Netware VLMs,
we recommend you to use Netware VLM Version 1.2b (or later). These
files are available from Novell. Also, use the parameter MAX IPG 0 in
the DOS Requester section of NET.CFG. This improves the operation of
VLM burst mode on high speed network adapters.
3.7 UNI 3.0/3.1 compatibility
-----------------------------
This release of the LAN Emulation Software supports UNI 3.0 and UNI
3.1. By default, the Madge ATM stacks for DOS and NetWare
automatically detect - and then use - the version of UNI signaling
that the ATM switch is using. To override this feature, because you
want to specify either UNI 3.0 or UNI 3.1 as the type of signaling for
the ATM stack to use, run the Madge ATM Manager (see Chapter 10 of the
LAN Emulation Software Installation Guide; part number: 100-190).
Note that the UNI 3.0 and 3.1 interfaces are formally incompatible.
This means that both ends of every connection must be either UNI 3.0
or 3.1. If they are not, then the signaling VCC might appear to come
up correctly - depending on your switch - but in fact it will not have
done: point-to-multipoint connections will not work. In this case,
however, all the workstation user will see is the error message:
'CONNECT to LECS failed'.
3.8 Netware server memory requirements
--------------------------------------
A Netware server driver needs approximately 2MB of RAM for each
adapter in the server. Each instance of LAN emulation services that
you run on an adapter requires an extra 2MB of RAM over and above
this.
3.9 Netware version 3.1x
------------------------
Netware 3.11 requires updated modules for LSLENH, TOKENTSM, ETHERTSM
and CLIB. These are available from Madge Technical Support (see
Section 10).
For Netware 3.12, ensure that the server contains at least 32MB of
RAM, and add the following line to AUTOEXEC.NCF:
SET MAXIMUM ALLOC SHORT TERM MEMORY = 4000000
3.10 Japanese DOS
-----------------
If you are using Japanese DOS and you experience problems loading
MATM, edit the CONFIG.SYS file so that $FONT.SYS loads before
HIMEM.SYS.
3.11 OS/2: support for Token Ring LAN emulation only
----------------------------------------------------
The current release of the OS/2 LAN emulation software does not support
Ethernet LAN emulation, and it does not support the Collage 155
adapter. Support is provided for the Collage 155 PCI Client and the
Collage 25 adapters only.
3.12 Running diagnostics
------------------------
The manual suggests that you cannot run ATMDIAG for Windows NT and
OS/2. This is true, because it does not work under these operating
systems. However, you can run diagnostics on any PC: just boot it from
disk 1.
Section 4 Installing the LAN Emulation Software (summary)
=========================================================
For full information about installing the ATM drivers for your
environment, refer to the LAN Emulation Software Installation Guide
(part number 100-190).
4.1 Run diagnostics first
-------------------------
Before installing the drivers, run the ATMDIAG utility to check that
the adapter is working correctly. To do this, put disk 1 into your
floppy drive and either reboot the PC or run ATMDIAG from the DOS
prompt. If you wish to copy the diagnostics program to your hard disk,
ensure that you copy the help and data files as well. There are three
files in all (see Section 2).
4.2 DOS ODI workstations
------------------------------
Put the DOS ODI disk (disk 2) into the floppy drive and run the ATM
installation program called ATMSETUP.EXE. This installs all the DOS
ATM software to your hard disk and configures the ATM stack. You will
need to load EMM386.EXE from CONFIG.SYS (see Section 3.5).
To connect to a server running LAN emulation, type:
MATM
LSL
ATMODI (token ring ODI driver, ATMODIE for ethernet)
IPXODI
VLM (or NETX)
MATM and the above commands can be incorporated into your STARTNET.BAT
file or your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Use the program called ATMMGR.EXE to make changes to the configuration
of the ATM stack (see Chapter 10 of the LAN Emulation Software
Installation Guide, part number: 100-190).
4.3 Netware server 3.1x/4.1x
----------------------------
For NETWARE put the following commands into your AUTOEXEC.NCF:
LOAD MATM
START ATM
To load the ODI driver for Token-Ring LAN emulation, type:
load ATMODI
bind ipx ATMODI net=nnn (nnn== net number)
To load the ODI driver for Ethernet LAN emulation, type:
load ATMODIE
bind ipx ATMODIE net=nnn (nnn== net number)
To load different frame types, use the FRAME= parameter when you load
the driver. For example, for ethernet_snap frames, type:
load ATMODIE frame=ethernet_snap name=<board name>
For further information about Netware 3.11 servers, see Section 3.9.
4.4 Windows NT
--------------
Select the network icon in the control panel and then select Add
Adapter. When asked for the adapter type, select the option 'Disk
provided by manufacturer'. Insert disk 3 into the floppy disk drive.
The drivers for the LEC are stored in the directory A:\I386\LEC. To
configure the LEC, follow the instructions on the screen. If you are
installing LAN emulation services as well, install the LEC first.
If you are installing this driver to upgrade an existing driver,
see Section 3.1.
To install LAN emulation services on an NT workstation, first install
the LEC, then select Add Software from the network applet in the
Control Panel. Select '<Other> requires disk from manufacturer'. When
prompted for a disk, insert the Madge disk containing the NT drivers
and specify the path A:\I386\LANE. See note below.
**********************************************************************
NOTE: LANE services under Windows NT are only supported for the
Collage 155 PCI Adapter and not for the Collage 25 PCI Adapter
or the Collage 155 PCI Client adapters.
**********************************************************************
4.5 OS/2 Warp
-------------
**********************************************************************
NOTE: The OS/2 drivers in this release support Token Ring LAN
emulation only, and they are only available for the Collage 25
PCI and the Collage 155 PCI Client adapters.
**********************************************************************
The installation method depends on whether you are installing for OS/2
Warp, Warp Server, or Warp Connect.
For OS/2 Warp or OS/2 ver. 2.11 :
a) Install OS/2 Warp onto your machine first.
b) Use LAPS to install the ATM driver.
After following the OS/2 driver installation instructions and before
rebooting the machine open an OS/2 windows - check that disk 4 is still
inserted and run
a:mdgatm.cmd <param1> <param2>
where <param1> can be 'col25' or 'col155client'
and <param2> can be either 'UNI3.0' or 'UNI 3.1'
this copies the ATM configuration files to the hard disk. You may use
this MDGATM.CMD utility to change your configuration between UNI3.0
and UNI 3.1 or if you change the type of adapter in your PC. After
running MDGATM.CMD you must reboot your OS/2 workstation before the
changes take effect.
For Warp Server :
Install the driver at the point in the OS/2 installation procedure
where you are prompted to do so. When you do this, some of the
files you need do not get copied across. Continue with the
installation process and ignore any error messages relating to the
network driver.
After finishing the Warp Server installation open an OS/2 window.
Insert disk 4 and run
a:mdgatm.cmd <param1> <param2>
where <param1> can be 'col25' or 'col155client'
and <param2> can be either 'UNI3.0' or 'UNI 3.1'
this copies the ATM configuration files to the hard disk. You may use
this MDGATM.CMD utility to change your configuration between UNI3.0
and UNI 3.1 or if you change the type of adapter in your PC. After
running MDGATM.CMD you must reboot your OS/2 workstation before the
changes take effect.
For Warp Connect:
You can install netowrking support at warp connect installation time.
In this case the machine will reboot (as it should) however not all
the ATM files will have been copied. In this case just follow the
instructions for running the mdgatm.cmd below.
If you have installed Warp Connect without network support, run
PRODINST from the root of the Warp CD and follow the instructions for
installing drivers.
After following the OS/2 driver installation instructions and before
rebooting the machine open an OS/2 windows - check that disk 4 is still
inserted and run
a:mdgatm.cmd <param1> <param2>
where <param1> can be 'col25' or 'col155client'
and <param2> can be either 'UNI3.0' or 'UNI 3.1'
this copies the ATM configuration files to the hard disk. You may use
this MDGATM.CMD utility to change your configuration between UNI3.0
and UNI 3.1 or if you change the type of adapter in your PC. After
running MDGATM.CMD you must reboot your OS/2 workstation before the
changes take effect.
Section 5) ATM Switches
=======================
The Collage 25 and 155 adapters have been tested with the following
switches. However, to ensure interoperability contact your switch
vendor for the latest switch controller code.
Madge Collage 250/280 Workgroup Switches
Madge Collage 540 Token-Ring/ATM access device
Madge Collage 740 Backbone Switch
3COM Cellplex 7000 switch
Bay Lattiscell
CISCO LS100
DEC GigaSwitch
FORE ASX100/200
IBM 8285 25Mb/s ATM switch
IBM 25Mb/s Concentrator
OKI Switch
Newbridge Vivid Workgroup Switch
UB Geoswitch
Whitetree WS3000 Workgroup Switch
If you are using the FORE ASX200 switch with Forethought 3.4.2 (or
higher) and with FORE line cards rev.C (or later), configure the
Collage adapter to run in loopback mode. Do this from the Adapter
Configuration window in the Madge ATM Manager. The ATM Manager is
described in Chapter 10 of the LAN Emulation Software Installation
Guide (part number: 100-190). If you run the adapter in loopback
mode, software modules inside the computer can communicate with each
other without using the switch.
If you are using the Bay Lattiscell switch, use build 35b or later of
the LCMS software.
For the Newbridge switch use software version 41111F3.01 or later.
Section 6) Changes in this release
==================================
6.1 General changes and improvements
------------------------------------
1) This release includes support for the Collage 155 PCI Client adapter.
The Collage 155 PCI Client is a low cost 155Mbps adapter designed
specifically for client machines. Software support is provided for
DOS ODI, Netware Server, Windows NT and OS/2. Whilst the adapter will
work in file server environments (Netware, Windows NT, OS/2) its use
in these environments is not recommended as its host processor
utilisation will be high. The Collage 155 PCI Adapter has been
specifically designed for servers and will deliver superior performance.
2) The Installation and mamagement utilities have been changed to include
support for the Collage 155 PCI Client adapter.
2) This release includes OS/2 support for OS/2 2.11 as well as OS/2 Warp.
OS/2 support is still limited to the Collage 25 and Collage 155 Client
adapters only and only Token Ring LECs.
3) Support for UNI 3.1 has been added to the OS/2 drivers.
4) The ATMODIE.LDI Netware server driver install file has been changed to
list the correct frame types for an ethernet driver,
5) ATMDIAG.EXE has been modified to improve the diagnostic information
presented to the user. In particilar a warning has been introduced if
the PCI BIOS latency timer is less than 32. A low latency timer value
had been diagnosed as the cause of several performance problems in
certain machines.
6) Diagnostic information has been added to the OS/2 driver which is
spooled to the lantran.log file. Information such as adapter up,
signalling up, etc is now available for diagnostic use.
7) The OS/2 and Windows NT drivers have been changed to give the correct
byte ordering for LEC ID numbers. This changes is cosmetic only and
would only be noticed by network engineers diagnosing ATM network
problems with ATM protocol analysers.
8) ATMMGR.EXE and ATMMGR.NLM have been modified to remove a memory
limitation problem that could cause them to crash under very exceptional
conditions.
9) ATMMGR.EXE has been changed such that it does not display the ring
number for ethernet ELAN properties.
Section 7) Known problems and operating restrictions
====================================================
7.1 General problems
--------------------
1) On some computers a soft reset does not reset the ATM adapters. You
might have to power the computer down for a couple of seconds.
2) The Collage 25 PCI and the Collage 155 PCI Client adapters have not
been designed for use as server adapters. Although you can use them,
for example, in a NetWare server, their processor utilisation can be
very high. We recommend you to use the Collage 155 adapter instead.
Indeed, to maximise aggregate throughput, we recommend you to use
multiple Collage 155 adapters in NetWare servers.
7.2 Problems with Netware servers
---------------------------------
1) Netware 3.11 requires updated modules: LSLENH, ETHERTSM, TOKENTSM
and CLIB. These are available on request from Madge Technical
Support.
2) There are problems running the Collage 155 PCI adapter in some
low-performance servers (that is, in Pentium computers with less
than 60MHz of processor power). Under heavy traffic, cells can be
dropped and the SSCOP signaling transport protocol can time out for
short periods. If you are using a Collage 155 adapter, we
recommend you to use a server with a 60MHz (or faster) Pentium
processor.
3) On a 3.1x Netware server LAN emulation can run out of physical
memory. We recommend that you run LAN emulation services on a
server with at least 32MB of RAM and with at least a Pentium 60MHz
processor. Also, add the following line to your Netware
AUTOEXEC.NCF:
SET MAXIMUM ALLOC SHORT TERM MEMORY = 4000000
4) If you encounter problems loading the ATM drivers in a computer
that also contains a Madge Smart Ringnode (for example, in a
MultiProtocol Router environment), please contact Madge Technical
Support for a Token-Ring driver which is optimised for this
configuration.
7.3 Problems with the DOS ODI drivers
-------------------------------------
1) On some PCs that run the Japanese version of DOS, MATM does not
load. If you experience this problem, edit CONFIG.SYS so that
$FONT.SYS loads before HIMEM.SYS.
7.4 Problems and restrictions with the OS/2 drivers
---------------------------------------------------
1) Only one adapter is supported per machine.
2) Only one LEC is supported per adapter.
3) Only Token-Ring LECs are supported. Ethernet support will be added
in a future release.
4) The Collage 155 PCI Adapter is not supported for OS/2 in this release.
5) There is no SMP machine support for OS/2 in this release.
6) OS/2 versions prior to version 2.11 are not supported.
7) There is no LANE management tool for OS/2 in this release. This
tool will be available in a future release. All supported options
can be configured by the installation utility.
8) IPX/SPX protocols can be configured under OS/2 and may work in some
environments although full support for IPX/SPX cannot be guaranteed
in this release.
