EtherExpress™ 16 Adapter
LAN Server* 4.0 Workstation Configuration

LAN Server* 4.0 DOS\Windows* Configuration

This document explains how to install network drivers for an EtherExpress™ 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH, or MCA adapter on a IBM's LAN Server 4.0 DOS\Windows workstation.

Before you start

You must configure and test the EtherExpress 16 adapter with SOFTSET.EXE before installing the LAN Server client software. Boot the workstation with a DOS disk, and then insert the EtherExpress16 LAN Adapter Configuration and Driver disk into drive A. At the DOS prompt type:

A:SOFTSET
  1. Select "AUTOMATIC SETUP" to let SoftSet configure the EtherExpress 16 adapter to work in your computer, or select "MANUAL SETUP" if you want to designate which interrupt and I/O address you want the EtherExpress 16 to use.

  2. Select "RUN DIAGNOSTICS" from the main menu to test the configuration you have selected. If the EtherExpress 16 adapter fails diagnostics, it will not function correctly under LAN Server 4.0. NOTE: SoftSet is a DOS program and will not run in Windows.
General Installation:
  1. Insert the LAN Server 4.0 DOS/Windows client disk 1 into drive A and type:

    A:\INSTALL.EXE

  2. Specify the directory you want to install the DOS LAN requester files into, the default is:

    C:\NET

  3. From the Select Network Adapter menu, choose:

    Intel EtherExpress 16 or 16TP adapter

  4. Enter in a unique Machine Name for your workstation.

  5. Enter in your User Name.

  6. Enter the Domain Name that your workstation is attached to.

  7. Specify which DOS LAN Services you want from the list:

    Graphical User Interface: Install GUI

    Peer Services: Install Peer Services

    Windows Support: Install Windows Support

    Protocol Driver : IBM NetBEUI

  8. Verify the listed options are correct, then press "ENTER" to continue.

  9. Verify the EtherExpress adapter settings are correct, and press "ENTER" to continue:
    Keyword Default Value Range
    Drivername = EXP16$ EXP16$
    OADDRESS = 0x300 0x200 - 0x370
    IRQ = 10 3,4,5,9,10,11
    I/O Channel Ready = Late Late, Early, Never
    Transceiver Type = Twisted Pair (TPE) TPE, AUI/DIX, BNC/COAX

    CAUTION: Do not set the I/O Channel Ready to "EARLY" or you may damage the EtherExpess adapter.

  10. Exit install and restart your computer by pressing "ENTER" after the installation is complete
Hints & Tips
  1. If the EtherExpress 16 adapter is failing to load the driver or connect to the network, verify that the I/O address and/or Interrupt being used by the EtherExpress adapter is not being used by any other device in your workstation like a sound card, faxmodem, scanner, tape backup, serial ports, parallel ports, etc.

    Look at the documentation or setup programs for the other installed adapters in your computer to verify what I/O address and Interrupts they are using. Some sound cards use multiple interrupts and I/O addresses. For example, a typical sound card will use an I/O address of 220 and IRQ 5 for the sound port and an I/O address of 330 and IRQ 11 for the MIDI/Joystick port.

  2. Error message "340E Mac Driver not installed-- Protman open error"

    This error message occurs when the workstation tries to load EXP16.DOS in the CONFIG.SYS before PROTMAN.DOS. Edit the CONFIG.SYS to load PROTMAN.DOS before EXP16.DOS. See sample CONFIG.SYS below.

  3. Error message "330E Mac driver not installed-adapter not found or invalid"

    This error message also occurs when the parameter "IOADDRESS=" is used in the PROTOCOL.INI to incorrectly specify the adapter I/O address. The IOADDRESS= parameter must be set to match the I/O address of the EtherExpress 16 adapter. For example, if the EtherExpress 16 was set at I/O address 300, the line should read:

    IOADDRESS=0x300
