This driver package is for support of the IBM Token Ring PCI Family adapters. The installation code for various Operating Systems is in subdirectories as follows: \Wfw Windows for Workgroups \OS2 OS2 \Novell Netware \Dos Dos INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: You will find the latest information and downloadable software at: www.networking.ibm.com/support OS/2 NDIS 2 Device Driver Using MPTS ____________________________________ MPTS is the Multiple Protocol Transport Services. 1 When updating an existing device driver, error message X100035, which indicates that the driver could not be installed and the previous version could not be restored, can be prevented by performing the following steps before beginning the update. This is particularly useful when the existing driver was installed from the adapter CD-ROM. ¹ From an OS/2 window, go to the drive where OS/2 is installed. Change to the IBMCOM subdirectory (where x is your drive letter): x: cd \ibmcom ¹ Enter the following two commands: attrib -r ibmtrp.* /s attrib -r la1*.msg 2 Start MPTS by performing either of the following actions: ¹ From the OS/2 desktop, double-click the MPTS icon. ¹ From an OS/2 window, go into the IBMCOM subdirectory and enter mpts at the OS/2 prompt. 3 Select OK on the MPTS logo panel. 4 Select Install. You will be prompted for the source of the .NIF file. Enter the path to the driver directory. Select OK once the Installation Complete message appears. You will return to the main menu. 5 Select Configure in the MPTS dialog box. 6 On the Configure panel, make sure that LAN adapters and protocols is preselected and then select Configure at the bottom of the panel. 7 In the Configuration panel, in the Network Adapters group box, select IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter (IBMTRP.OS2) and select ADD. Note: You can edit parameter settings for this adapter. Highlight your adapter in the Current Configuration list box and select Edit. 8 In the Protocols list box, select the protocols used by your network application. Highlight each protocol and select ADD. If you are not sure which ones to use, select IBM IEEE 802.2 and IBM OS/2 NetBIOS protocol drivers or ask your network administrator. The protocol drivers you have selected will appear under the adapter driver name in the Current Configuration list box. Note: You can edit parameter settings for the protocols. Highlight a protocol and select Edit. 9 Select OK when you have finished selecting and editing protocols in the MPTS Configuration panel. 10 Select Close on the Configure panel. 11 Select Exit in the MPTS dialog box. 12 Select Exit on the Update CONFIG.SYS panel to update the CONFIG.SYS file. 13 Select OK when you get the message that the CONFIG.SYS has been successfully updated. 14 Select Exit on the Exiting MPTS panel. 15 Shut down and restart your computer to let the changes take effect. Installation is now complete. 16 At system startup, check for the following conditions to determine whether the adapter is working correctly and whether installation has been completed successfully: ¹ The device driver files loaded successfully. There are no error messages. ¹ The adapter LEDs indicate normal operation: green ON, amber OFF. OS/2 NDIS 2 Device Driver Using Other Installation Programs ___________________________________________________________ 1 Insert the CD-ROM or the NDIS Drivers diskette into the appropriate drive. 2 Use your product documentation to install the driver (IBMTRP.OS2), which is located in the root directory on both the CD-ROM and diskette. 3 Modify the parameters if needed. See Appendix C, “NDIS 2 Device Driver Parameters.” IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 and Warp Connect are examples of products that provide driver installation programs. 4 Installation is now complete. Shut down and restart your computer for all changes to take effect. 5 Check for the following conditions to determine whether the adapter is working correctly and whether installation has been completed successfully: ¹ The device driver files load successfully. There are no error messages. ¹ The adapter LEDs indicate normal operation: green ON, amber OFF. DOS NDIS 2 __________ Note: It is recommended that you use LAN Client (Client32) whenever possible as an efficient solution. 1 Insert the CD-ROM or the NDIS Drivers diskette into the appropriate drive. 2 Use your operating system documentation to install the driver (IBMTRP.DOS). This driver is located in the \dos subdirectory on both diskette and the CD-ROM. 3 Modify the parameters, if needed. See Appendix C, “NDIS 2 Device Driver Parameters.” Note: If you use Microsoft Windows for Workgroups and want to configure the NetAddress parameter for the NDIS device driver, remember to enclose the address in double quotes (""). The NetAddress parameter is used to set a locally administered address for the adapter. 4 Installation is now complete. Shut down and restart your computer for all changes to take effect. 5 Check for the following conditions to determine whether the adapter is working correctly and whether installation has been completed successfully: ¹ The device driver files load successfully. There are no error messages. ¹ The adapter LEDs indicate normal operation: green ON, amber OFF.
