This file contains instructions for installing the TokenExpress adapter
driver. It contains information specific to the installation and
operation of Intel's TokenExpress adapters only. Refer to the
appropriate Network Operation System documentation for any NOS-specific
questions or other information.
These instructions apply to Release 5.0 of the software.
You'll always find the most current version of the driver instructions
and if the driver software has changed, you can get the latest drivers
and instructions from Intel's online services. Always check the
revision date of the document to make sure you have the most updated
copy.
Installing and configuring the Intel TokenExpress adapter DLC driver for
IBM PC LAN Version 1.31 or higher
General Guidelines
The TokenExpress adapter installation program (INSTIBM.BAT) is dependent
upon whether or not your application requires the IBM Netbios protocol.
If Netbios is NOT used, the installation program creates a \NETWORK
directory on the specified destination drive and copies the TokenExpress
adapter DLC driver (OC02DLC.SYS) and the TokenExpress adapter interrupt
arbitrator (OC01IA.SYS) files into it.
If Netbios is required, the IBM interrupt 5c arbitrator (DXMA0MOD.SYS)
and the Netbios (DXMT0MOD.SYS) files are copied to the \NETWORK
directory along with the TokenExpress adapter DLC driver (OC02DLC.SYS).
The IBM interrupt 5c arbitrator and Netbios files are found on the IBM
LAN Support Program diskette (must be purchased from IBM Corporation).
To install the TokenExpress adapter DOS DLC driver, do the following:
- Insert the Intel adapter driver diskette into drive A:.
- Run the TokenExpress adapter driver installation program by typing:
A:\IBM\DOS\INSTIBM src dest
Where "src" is the drive containing the driver diskette and "dest"
is the drive where the files will be written. For example,
A:\IBM\DOS\INSTIBM A: C:
- Follow the directions on your monitor to complete the installation.
- Remove the Intel driver diskette from drive A: and reboot your
system.
Note: If you do not require NETBIOS, the INSTIBM.BAT file creates a
\NETWORK directory on the destination drive and copies the TokenExpress
adapter DLC driver (OC02DLC.SYS) and the TokenExpress adapter interrupt
5C arbitrator (OC01IA.SYS) files to it.
If you require NETBIOS, the INSTIBM.BAT file copies the IBM interrupt 5C
arbitrator (DXMA0MOD.SYS) and the NETBIOS (DXMT0MOD.SYS) files to the
\NETWORK directory instead. The TokenExpress adapter DLC driver is
always used.
Special Considerations
An optional country code can be specified when loading the interrupt 5C
arbitrator OC01IA.SYS. Drivers loaded subsequently may then use this
country code to display messages in the selected language.
The country code is specified in the CONFIG.SYS file as follows:
device = (path)\OC01IA.SYS <optional country code>
The supported values are:
| 01 |
US English |
| 45 |
Danish |
| 49 |
German |
The TokenExpress adapter DLC driver supports four (4) optional
parameters. These parameters are specified in the CONFIG.SYS file as
follows:
device = (path)\OC02DLC.SYS -E<...> -N<...> -L -A
The parameter definitions are:
-E<AdapterNumber><EarlyRelease>
AdapterNumber identifies the adapter as either primary or secondary. (0
= primary, 1 = secondary)
EarlyRelease enables/disables Early Token Release. ETR is enabled by
default. (0 = enable, 1= disable). This parameter is ignored if the
date rate is 4 Mbps.
-N<AdapterNumber><NodeAddress>
AdapterNumber identifies the adapter as either primary or secondary. (0
= primary, 1 = secondary)
NodeAddress - Zero (0) or a locally administered node address. A '0'
forces the use of the adapter's burned-in address (BIA) and overrides an
application's use of a local address. The locally administered node
address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number starting with 4, 5, 6, or 7.
-L Causes the driver to copy all transmit data into a local buffer
before transferring it to the network. It may be necessary to use this
with the TokenExpress ISA Adapter if all of the following conditions are
met: 1) the adapter is configured as a Bus Master, 2) an expanded
memory board is installed, and 3) the application transfers data
directly from expanded memory to the network. In addition, this
parameter may be needed if the expanded memory manager does not support
VCPI and/or the DPMI standards.
Specifying this parameter causes the driver to use more memory and
should only be specified if necessary. Do not use this parameter if the
adapter is configured to operate in programmed I/O mode.
-A Causes the driver to treat the first adapter found as the secondary
adapter (1) and ignore any other adapter. If this parameter is not
specified, the adapter with the lowest I/O address setting is
automatically designated as the primary adapter (0) and the other
adapter is the secondary adapter.
To configure a system having two TokenExpress adapters with locally
administered addresses (the first adapter using address 400000001066,
the second adapter using 400000002067 and having Early Token Release
disabled), the following entry would be placed in your CONFIG.SYS file:
device=<path>\OC02DLC.SYS -N0400000001066 -N1400000002067 -E11
Note: The PC LAN installation program requires IBM PC-DOS version
3.3 or higher. If MS-DOS 3.3 or higher is used, the PC LAN installation
program may display the message "DOS is not installed on target drive".
Should this happen, you can either try using an OEM version of MS-DOS or
use IBM PC-DOS.
This restriction applies to installation only.
Notes for use with Qualitas' 386MAX Memory Manager
The 386MAX Memory Manager program allows physical memory above 1 Meg to
be mapped into the address space between the video RAM and the BIOS ROM.
You can free up conventional DOS memory by loading DXMA0MOD.SYS,
OC02DLC.SYS and DXMT0MOD.SYS into this area.
