4.0 Chapter 4. Customizing Driver Parameters for the LAN Support Program NDIS
This chapter describes the LAN Support Program NDIS (LSP NDIS) driver
parameter values and tells you how to edit the parameter values in
CONFIG.SYS manually. Although manual configuration is described, IBM
recommends that you use the Installation Aid to view and modify the
parameter values. Using it is easier than manual configuration and
reduces the chance of errors. See Chapter 2, "Using the Installation Aid"
for more information.
NOTES:
1. The highlighted letters distinguish each device driver from the other
LSP NDIS device drivers.
2. The sample directory provided in the examples showing you how to edit
CONFIG.SYS is \LSP. Substitute the name of your directory if it is
different.
4.1 LSP NDIS Driver Summary
LSP NDIS contains the following drivers:
° Interrupt arbitrator
DXMA0MOD.SYS Required driver that dispatches the other drivers in
response to a X'5C' interrupt. It has one parameter
that defines the language in which load-time messages
are displayed.
° IEEE 802.2 Protocol driver
DXME0MOD.SYS Enables communication between an NDIS MAC driver
Version 2.01 and earlier and an application program
that uses the IEEE 802.2 interface. See "Choosing the
LSP NDIS Drivers to Provide IEEE 802.2 and NetBIOS
Support" in topic 2.1.2 for information about the
interaction of this driver with other LSP NDIS drivers.
The following files are associated with DXME0MOD.SYS:
PROTMAN.DOS NDIS protocol manager
PROTOCOL.INI Data file that contains the
configuration parameters for NDIS
modules
NETBIND.COM NDIS binding utility.
° NetBIOS interface device driver (not used with DXMJ0MOD.SYS)
DXMT0MOD.SYS Provides NetBIOS application programs with a program
interface to the adapter support device drivers. It
cannot be used unless DXME0MOD.SYS has been configured.
° NetBIOS protocol driver
DXMJ0MOD.SYS Enables communication between an NDIS MAC driver and an
application program that uses the NetBIOS interface.
The following files are associated with DXMJ0MOD.SYS:
PROTMAN.DOS NDIS protocol manager
PROTOCOL.INI Data file that contains the
configuration parameters for NDIS
modules
NETBIND.COM NDIS binding utility.
