## IBM OS/2* and LAN Requestor

File locations: \OS2\E100B.OS2 (OS/2* driver) \OS2\E100BEO2.NIF
or
\DOS\E100B.DOS (DOS driver)
\DOS\E100BEDS.NIF (DLR and LSP installation file)
NOTE: LAN Requester needs DOS 3.3 through 5, but if you're using DOS 6.0 or higher, run SETVER.EXE prior to using the executable files found on the DOS LAN Requester disks. See your DOS manual if you need help with SETVER.EXE.

### Sample Configuration File

PROTOCOL.INI (will include):
[E100B_NIF]
DriverName = E100B$

General Installation - LAN Server and OS/2 Requester (4.0 or 3.0)

1. Run the MPTS utility with LAN Server 4.0 or OS/2 Requester 4.0 (Run the LAPS utility with LAN Server 3.0 or OS/2 Requester 3.0).

2. Click Install.

3. When prompted, insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk in the drive, specify <drive>:\OS2 for driver location, and click OK.

4. When Install reads the E100BEO2.NIF, installation is complete. Click OK. The adapter driver has been copied to your system.

5. Click Configure from the MPTS window.

6. At the Configure window, make sure the LAN adapters and protocols option is selected and click CONFIGURE.

7. At the LAPS Configuration window, select the Intel adapter (OS/2 driver: E100B.OS2) from the Network Adapters window.

8. Click Add in the Network Adapter window to add the Intel PCI adapter to the current configuration.

9. Select your desired protocol(s) from the Protocol window and click Add to add the protocol(s) to the current configuration.

10. Click OK when you're done and follow the prompts to exit MPTS. Your CONFIG.SYS is automatically updated.

11. Restart the computer to apply the changes.

### DOS LAN Services Installation under DOS

| NOTE: Due to a problem with the DLS installation utility, you need to complete the following steps before executing the installation of DLS:

1. On DLS Diskette 1, make a directory off the root called DOS.

2. Copy the file E100B.DOS (from the \DOS directory of the Configuration and Drivers disk) into this new directory \DOS on DLS disk 1.

3. Run the DOS LAN Services installation program at the DOS workstation. Follow the prompts.

4. When presented with an adapter list, select Network card not shown in list below.

5. When prompted for the location of the OEMSETUP.INF file, insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk in your drive and enter <drive>:\DOS as the path.

6. Select the Intel adapter from the list. Follow the prompts.

7. Enter your machine name, user name and domain name.

8. Set the options as you need; then highlight "The listed options are correct" and press <Enter>.

9. Accept the defaults on the next screen, select "The listed options are correct" and press <Enter>.

10. If needed, set the Speed, Duplex mode, or Slot Device. We recommend accepting the defaults.

11. Highlight "The listed options are correct" and press Enter.

12. You may be asked to insert the DLS disks. Follow the prompts to complete the installation and restart your computer for changes to take effect.

### LAN Support Program (LSP) Installation under DOS

1. Run DXMAID from the LAN Support Program disk.

2. Follow the prompts and instructions.

3. When prompted, insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk and enter the pathname <drive>:\DOS.

4. The default configuration is suitable for most environments. We recommend accepting the defaults.

5. After the installation is complete, restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

### DOS LAN Requester Installation under DOS

1. Run the DOS LAN Requester installation program at the DOS workstation. Follow the prompts to configure your DOS LAN Requester.

2. After the installation is complete, restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

### Advanced Settings for PROTOCOL.INI

DRIVERNAME: (required) If you have a single adapter, use the syntax in the Sample Configuration File section. If you are installing multiple adapters, each adapter must have a unique driver name. Additional instances of the driver would be referenced by DRIVERNAME=E100Bx$, where "x" is a unique number 2 through 9.
SPEED: (optional; parameters are [Auto / 10 / 100]) The parameter disables Auto-Speed Detect and causes the adapter to function at the speed indicated. If the FORCEDUPLEX parameter is assigned to either 1 or 2, the SPEED parameter is required because auto-speed sensing is disabled if the duplex mode is forced. Auto-negotiate devices cannot detect speed changes in this configuration until the driver is reloaded.

Syntax: SPEED = [Auto | 10 | 100]

Example: SPEED = 100
Before changing speed and duplex, make sure the link partner is able to operate at the configured settings. A mismatch between the adapter and link partner might cause communication failure.
FORCEDUPLEX: Full duplex and auto-negotiate capabilities vary between the PRO/100 TX and the PRO/100 T4 adapters.
PRO/100+ TX adapter: Supports auto-negotiate, full and half duplex at 10 or 100 Mbps.
PRO/100B T4 adapter: Supports full and half duplex at 10 Mbps; supports only half duplex at 100 Mbps. Auto-negotiate is not a valid option at either speed.
The FORCEDUPLEX parameter disables Auto-Negotiate capability and forces the adapter to operate in Half or Full Duplex mode. The SPEED parameter must be specified and must be valid if the default of Auto-negotiate is changed. Options for FORCEDUPLEX are Auto (for auto-negotiate), 1 (for half), 2 (for full).

Syntax: FORCEDUPLEX = [Auto | 1 | 2] (1 = Half; 2 = Full)

Example: FORCEDUPLEX = 2
SLOT: (required for multiple adapters) This parameter is optional if only one adapter is present. If the slot number is incorrect, the adapter loads but a message displays indicating that the slot number is invalid.
The SLOT is required if more than one adapter is present in either one bus or multiple PCI buses of a system. The parameter tells the driver which adapter it controls. The SLOT number is the encoded value of the PCI adapter's device location. To determine the slot number, load the driver with only the DRIVERNAME parameter specified. The driver reports all the slots that have PCI adapter(s) installed. You can determine which card is in which slot by using SETUP.EXE and matching the Ethernet addresses of the adapter to the device number specified in View Configuration.

Syntax: SLOT = 0x[00]

Example: SLOT = 0x1C
NODE: (optional) This value sets the adapter's MAC Address, overriding the value read from the adapter EEPROM. The address must consist of 12 hexadecimal digits, enclosed in double quotes. The value can not be all zeros. The value can not have the Multicast bit set. Use any hexadecimal digits in all other positions.

Syntax: NODE = [00AA00123456]

Example: NODE = "02AA00123456"
