- LAN Manager DOS workstations
-
- This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
- FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP. It contains notes for installing
- the NDIS driver in a LAN Manager DOS workstation. It does not explain
- how to configure an EtherExpress board. For instructions about
- configuring the board, see either the Expert's Guide or the Complete
- Guide for your board.
-
- This document (or an updated version) is also available on FaxBACK,
- document #6404.

-
- DOS WORKSTATIONS:
- -----------------
- 1. To use the EtherExpress card in a DOS workstation, follow the
- standard installation procedure (Using the SETUP utility). An
- EtherExpress driver is included with LAN Manager 2.2, but you
- should update that driver with the one on the EtherExpress disk.
-
- 2. Once you exit the SETUP utility, do NOT shutdown the computer.
- Verify that the I/O address in the Protocol.ini matches the I/O
- address of the board. Refer to the "EDITING PROTOCOL.INI" section
- below for instructions on changing the I/O address.
-
- 3. After exiting SETUP, reboot the computer as described in the
- manual. If an error message is displayed, ensure that the board
- is installed properly and the I/O address in PROTOCOL.INI matches
- the board.
-
-
- EDITING PROTOCOL.INI:
- ---------------------
- LAN Manger uses the PROTOCOL.INI file to ensure that the driver and
- the board are configured to work together. Our driver only "requires"
- one parameter, and its purpose is to ensure that the driver and the
- board are configured to use the same I/O address. The parameter's
- name is IOADDRESS. If a board is using an I/O address other than
- 300h, you must edit the PROTOCOL.INI file located in the directory
- \LANMAN.DOS to change configuration of the driver.
-
- 1. Using an ASCII editor, locate the EtherExpress section shown below:
-
- [EXP16_NIF]
-
- ; Intel EtherExpress(tm) 16 Ethernet Adapter.
-
- IOADDRESS=0x300
- DRIVERNAME=EXP16$
-
- 2. Replace the I/O address with the address you selected when you
- ran SOFTSET for the EtherExpress 16 or the System Configuration
- utility for the EtherExpress MCA.
-
- Example using I/O address 340H :
-
- [EXP16_NIF]
-
- ; Intel EtherExpress(tm) 16 Ethernet Adapter.
-
- IOADDRESS=0x340
- DRIVERNAME=EXP16$
-
- 3. Save the file and exit.
-
- The network driver now matches the configuration of the board and you
- should continue with rebooting the computer and loading the driver.
