Software Support 

The IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II is supported by the following OS/2 software:



Installing OS/2 NDIS Device Drivers 

The OS/2 NDIS Device Driver is needed to run in an OS/2 LAN Services environment or an OS/2 Extended Services environment. The option diskette contains the OS/2 NDIS Device Driver under the name IBM16TR.OS2.

You can use the OS/2 device driver installation tool, the LAN Services installation/configuration program, to install the OS/2 NDIS Device Driver. Refer to the 'IBM Extended Services for OS/2 2.0 LAN Adapter and Protocol Support Configuration' guide or the 'IBM Operating System/2 Local Area Network Server Network Administrator Reference Volume 1: Planning and Installation' (Version 2.0) guide for instructions on using the LAN Services installation/configuration program.

Following is a description of the major steps to be followed independent of the type of software mentioned above. Where the instructions ask to "select" an option, do it by means of either clicking the mouse on the button/option or doing it via Keyboard if no Mouse is installed.

Where you find references to the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II Diagnostic Diskette, either the 3.5" or 5.25" one, provided with the adapter can be used.
  1.  Starting from "LAN Services" window, select "OS/2 Lan Services  Installation/Configuration", and then, select "OK".
  2.  Next, in the "Basic or Advanced Installation/Configuration",  select "Advanced".
  3.  Then the "Install Type" window is opened. Select "Install or  configure this workstation" option in this window.
  4.  The following window is "Server Type". You can choose between  "Additional server" and "Domain controller".
  5.  When you reach the "Installation and Configuration" window,  select "Configure a component".
  6.  In the "Configure" window, select "LAN Adapter and Protocol  Support"
  7.  Then select "Copy additional network adapter drivers" in the  "Options" window.
  8.  The next OS/2 window requests the path (drive:directory) where  the OS/2 NDIS Device Driver files will be copied from. Type  "d:\OS2", where "d:" is the diskette drive with the option  diskette and press "ENTER" to copy the files from the diskette.  After this, you will return to the "Configure" window.
  9.  In the "Configure" window, select "Configure Workstations",   then select "OK". The "Configure Workstation" window is shown.

    1.  Select the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II  in the "Network Adapter" field, then select "ADD".
    2.  Select in the "Protocols Field" whatever is appropriate to  your system installation.
    3.  Select the "EDIT" option in the "Current Configuration" field  to show all the default values for the configurable parameters  of the IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II.  MAKE SURE the "Adapter I/O Base Address" reflects  the address set up done when installing the adapter into your  system. Refer to the Installation and Test Instructions, provided with the  adapter, section " Setting the Switches " if necessary.  (or see the a:\readme file on this diskette)
    4.  Save the options selecting "OK". Returning to the "Configure  Workstations" window will do the same.

  10.  The installation is ended. Note: If you need to change the Device  Driver directory MANUALLY anytime, make sure to copy the IBM16TR.OS2,  BRZH.MSG and BRZ.MSG files.


End of installation.
