Using Locally Administered Addresses (LAA) With The TokenExpress™ Card

    For IBM*:

    The DLC driver must be configured for the LAA by modifying the CONFIG.SYS file. Valid choices for <AdapterNumber> in this configuration are 0 and 1. Add the following statement to the CONFIG.SYS file:

      DEVICE=<path>\OC02DLC.SYS -N<AdapterNumber><NodeAddress>

      Example:
      Device=C:\OC02DLC.SYS -N0400000000012

    For NetWare*:

    ODI workstation driver:

    The ODI driver must be configured for LAA by modifying the NET.CFG file. Add the following statement to the link drivers section of the NET.CFG file:

      NODEADDRESS <NodeAddress>

      Example:
      NODEADDRESS 400000000012

    NetWare 3.11 Server:

    To use LAA at a NetWare 3.11 file server, you need to add the NODE= option in the LOAD line for the driver.

      Example LOAD line:

      LOAD OCTOK161 PORT=A20 INT=5 DMA=5 NAME=LANA NODE=12345678

    Note: The NODE= option has 8 digits after it. Locally administered node addresses are 12 digits. NetWare 3.11 automatically inserts the first 4 digits (4000) before the 8 digits in the NODE= option.

    If you are using an NDIS driver and change the I/O address of your adapter with TOKENSET, you will need to add an "Adapter Number =" entry to your PROTOCOL.INI file. Use the adapter number from the list below that matches the setting you've selected in TOKENSET.

    <AdapterNumber> identifies the I/O address of the adapter:

      0 = I/O address 0A20H
      1 = I/O address 0A24H
      2 = I/O address 0A50H
      3 = I/O address 0A54H
      4 = I/O address 1A20H*
      5 = I/O address 1A24H*
      6 = I/O address 1A50H*
      7 = I/O address 1A54H*

      *addresses available only with the EISA/32 adapter

    <NodeAddress> is the locally administered address, a 12-digit hexadecimal number starting with 4, 5, 6 or 7. We recommend using 4000 as the first four digits.

    For LAN Manager:

    The NDIS driver must be configured for LAA by modifying the PROTOCOL.INI file. Add the following statement to the TokenExpress NIC section of the PROTOCOL.INI file:

      NODEADDRESS="<NodeAddress>"

      (Note the use of quotes and no spaces!!)

      Example:

      NODEADDRESS="400000000012"

    For IBM OS/2 2.x and/or LAN Server 2.x:

    The NDIS driver must be configured for LAA by modifying the PROTOCOL.INI file. Add the following statement to the TokenExpress NIC section of the PROTOCOL.INI file:

      NETADDRESS="<NodeAddress>"

      (Note the use of quotes and no spaces!!)

      Example:

      NETADDRESS="400000000012"

    For Windows* for Workgroups (v3.11):

    1. From the Program Manager, choose the Network Setup icon.

    2. Choose Drivers, then Setup.

    3. Select Net Address. Then, click on the button to the left of the Value: field.

    4. Type the local address in the Value: field. Include quotation marks around the address. For example:

      "400000000012"

    5. Choose Set, then OK.

    6. Exit the Network Setup dialog boxes. Network Setup modifies the PROTOCOL.INI file and prompts you to restart the computer.

Connecting to a NetWare* Server and an IBM* Host from a DOS Workstation

    When using the TokenExpress™ card in an IBM environment, the following drivers will need to be loaded:

    • OC01IA.SYS (Interrupt arbitrator)
    • OC02DLC.SYS (DLC driver)

    Insert the following lines in the CONFIG.SYS file:

      DEVICE=<path>\OC01IA.SYS
      DEVICE=<path>\OC02DLC.SYS

    These drivers above replace the IBM files DXMA0MOD.SYS and DXMC0MOD.SYS.

    When generating IPX.COM using the Novell program SHGEN or WSGEN, choose the option "LAN Support Program" to get a shell with a DLC interface. Use 3.10 version of IPX/SPX, previous versions do not work.

    Insert the following lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to attach to a Novell server:

    For IPX driver:

    IPX
    NETX

    For ODI driver:

    LSL
    LANSUP
    IPXODI
    NETX

Connecting To A NetWare* Server And An AS400 From A DOS Workstation

    When using the TokenExpress™ card in an IBM environment, along with IPX.COM or other required ODI drivers, the following drivers will need to be loaded:

    • OC01IA.SYS (Interrupt arbitrator)
    • OC02DLC.SYS (DLC driver)

    Insert the following lines in the CONFIG.SYS file:

      DEVICE=<path>\OC01IA.SYS
      DEVICE=<path>\OC02DLC.SYS

    These drivers above replace the IBM files DXMA0MOD.SYS and DXMC0MOD.SYS.

    When generating IPX.COM using the Novell program SHGEN or WSGEN, choose the option "LAN Support Program" to get a shell with a DLC interface. Use IPX/SPX version 3.10, previous versions do not work.

    Insert the following lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

    For IPX driver: 

    IPX
    NETX
    STARTPCS

    For ODI driver:

    LSL
    LANSUP
    IPXODI
    NETX
    STARTPCS

    If you are using the ODI drivers, insert the following lines in the NET.CFG for the ODI configuration:

      Link Support
          Buffers 4 4216
          MemPool 4096

      Link Driver LANSUP
          Frame TOKEN-RING
          Frame TOKEN-RING_SNAP

    The NET.CFG file must be in the same directory as LANSUP.COM and LSL.COM files.

    LANSUP.COM is available with the IBM LAN Support Program.

Connecting To A NetWare* Server And An IBM OS/2 LAN Server From A DOS ODI Workstation

    When using the TokenExpress card in an IBM environment the following drivers will need to be loaded:

    These drivers above replace the IBM files DXMA0MOD.SYS and DXMC0MOD.SYS.

    When generating IPX.COM using the Novell program SHGEN or WSGEN, choose the option "LAN Support Program" to get a shell with a DLC interface. Use 3.10 version of IPX/SPX, previous versions do not work.

    Insert the following lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

      LSL
      LANSUP
      IPXODI
      NETX

    Insert the following lines in the NET.CFG

      Link Support
          Buffers 4 4216
          MemPool 4096
      Link Driver LANSUP
          Frame TOKEN-RING
          Frame TOKEN-RING_SNAP

    The NET.CFG file must be in the same directory as LSL.COM and LANSUP.COM files.

    The files LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NETX.COM are available from the NetWare Workstation diskettes. You can obtain the latest version of the ODI drivers from Novell. LANSUP.COM is available with the IBM LAN Support Program.

Eror Received When Loading the TokenExpress Driver Shipped With Windows for Workgroups.

    The TokenExpress driver shipping with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 may not be the current driver. The driver provided on the Intel driver diskette is the most current. To install the driver from the Intel driver diskette, follow the instructions below.

    If Windows for Workgroups is already installed:

    1. From the Network group, choose the Network Setup icon.

    2. Choose Drivers.

    3. Highlight the TokenExpress driver, then choose Remove.

    4. Choose Add Adapter.

    5. Choose Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter. When prompted, insert the Intel driver diskette #2 into drive A and type the following command:

      A:\ <enter>

      You will now see the configuration settings for the adapter.

    6. Change the configuration settings, if needed, then choose OK to accept the configuration.

    If you are installing Windows for Workgroups for the first time:

    1. Follow the steps covered in the Windows for Workgroups guide for a first-time installation. During the installation when you are asked to select an adapter, choose Select Other Adapter Not Listed. When prompted, insert the Intel driver diskette into the A drive and type the following command:

    2. Change the configuration settings if needed, then choose OK to accept the configuration.

Creating Multiple Saps For The TokenExpress™ 16 Adapter

    Note: This information was reported by a customer and not necessarily tested by Intel.

    IBM Lan Support Program users can create multiples SAPs (Service Access Points) for the TokenExpress 16 adapters using the DLC drivers. Here are the commands for the TokenExpress 16 drivers you must include in your CONFIG.SYS file.

    Sample CONFIG.SYS:

      DEVICE=C:\(path)\OC01IA.SYS
      DEVICE=C:\(path)\OC02DLC.SYS
      DEVICE=C:\(path)\DXMT0MOD.SYS ES=3 EST=3 CF=Y
    Note: Replace "(path)" with the complete path to the directory containing the TokenExpress 16 drivers.

    DXMT0MOD.SYS Parameters

      ES=3
      Configures 3 Extra Saps (valid range is 0 - 99)

      EST=3
      Configures 3 Extra link Stations (valid range is 0 - 254)

      CF=Y
      Configures Call.Far function to prevents applications from intercepting INT 5C. (IBM Lan Support Program terminates if application Intercepts INT 5C). Recommended for MS Windows users.

    Note: For more details on LAN Support driver parameters, consult chapter 5 of the LAN Support 1.3x documentation or contact IBM.
