B.0 Appendix B. Sample Configurations
This appendix includes a diagram that lists all the LAN Support Program
NDIS (LSP NDIS) drivers and shows their logical relationship to one
another, and also provides three sample configurations of LSP NDIS using a
Streamer Family adapter. The Streamer Family adapter is an example of an
NDIS adapter. If you have a different type of NDIS adapter, the
configuration will be the same except that you will use a different NDIS
MAC driver (not IBMMPC.DOS). Use this appendix in conjunction with
Chapter 3, "Configuring the LAN Support Program NDIS Manually" if you are
doing a manual configuration. If you are using the Installation Aid, you
may read this appendix to increase your understanding of the LSP NDIS
drivers and interfaces.
The entries in CONFIG.SYS in these examples are listed in the correct
order for each configuration. The path in the examples is represented by
the directory \LSP.

NOTES:
1. DXMA0MOD.SYS is shown twice because it is called before any other
device driver.
2. NetBIOS device drivers DXMJ0MOD.SYS and DXMT0MOD.SYS cannot be used
concurrently. See "Choosing the LSP NDIS Drivers to Provide IEEE
802.2 and NetBIOS Support" in topic 2.1.2 for information about the
relationship between DXME0MOD.SYS, DXMT0MOD.SYS, and DXMJ0MOD.SYS.
3. The term IBM NDIS Adapter refers to the adapter with which LSP NDIS
was shipped.
B.1 Computer with One Streamer Family Adapter
Three examples of the configuration of one Streamer Family adapter are
shown in the following sections:
B.1.1 Example 1:
In this example, the computer has one Streamer Family adapter installed.
PROTOCOL.INI has been copied to the \LSP directory on drive C.
Application programs that use the IEEE 802.2 interface and application
programs that use the NetBIOS interface are both used. DXME0MOD.SYS and
DXMT0MOD.SYS are the drivers installed to provide the 802.2 and NetBIOS
interfaces. The CONFIG.SYS file is edited as follows:
DEVICE=\LSP\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LSP
DEVICE=\LSP\IBMMPC.DOS
DEVICE=\LSP\DXMA0MOD.SYS
DEVICE=\LSP\DXME0MOD.SYS
DEVICE=\LSP\DXMT0MOD.SYS
NOTES:
1. The device drivers must be loaded in the order shown.
2. IBMMPC.DOS is the required NDIS MAC driver.
3. The /I: parameter must be specified so that PROTMAN.DOS can find
PROTOCOL.INI. See "Using the /I: Parameter" in topic 3.3.4 for more
information about the use of this parameter.
4. If you are doing manual configuration, be sure that NETBIND is in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
The relevant sections of PROTOCOL.INI may appear as follows, if the
configuration was done using the Installation Aid: (1)
[PROTMAN_MOD]
DriverName = PROTMAN$
[DXME0_NIF]
DriverName = DXME0$
Bindings = IBMMPC_NIF
[IBMMPC_NIF]
DriverName = IBMMPC$
MAXTRANSMITS = 4
MAXTXFRAMESIZE = 4216
MINRCVBUFFS = 8
SIZWORKBUF = 1120
MULTICASTNUM = 16
ENABLETXEOFINT = "YES"
ENET2OUTP = "NO"
USEVDS = "NO"
ENABLEHIPRITX = "NO"
HIPRITXACCESS = 5
HIPRITXTHRESH = 4
(1) The named sections for the drivers may end in _MOD (for
example, [DXME0_MOD], not _NIF, if the configuration was done
manually.
B.1.2 Example 2
In this example, the computer has a Streamer Family adapter installed.
PROTOCOL.INI has been copied to the \LSP directory on drive C:.
Application programs that use the NetBIOS interface are used, but not
application programs that use the IEEE 802.2 interface. DXMJ0MOD.SYS is
the driver installed to provide the NetBIOS interface. The CONFIG.SYS
file is edited as follows:
DEVICE=\LSP\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LSP
DEVICE=\LSP\IBMMPC.DOS
DEVICE=\LSP\DXMA0MOD.SYS
DEVICE=\LSP\DXMJ0MOD.SYS
The relevant sections of PROTOCOL.INI may appear as follows, if the
configuration was done using the Installation Aid:
[PROTMAN_MOD]
DriverName = PROTMAN$
[DXMJ0MOD_NIF]
DriverName = NETBEUI$
Bindings = IBMMPC_NIF
[IBMMPC_NIF]
DriverName = IBMMPC$
<See parameters from Example 1>
See the notes from Example 1 in topic B.1.1.
B.1.3 Example 3
In this example, the computer has one Streamer Family adapter installed.
PROTOCOL.INI has been copied to the \LSP directory on drive C:.
Application programs that use the IEEE 802.2 interface and application
programs that use the NetBIOS interface are both used. DXME0MOD.SYS and
DXMJ0MOD.SYS are the drivers installed to provide the 802.2 and NetBIOS
interfaces. The CONFIG.SYS file is edited as follows:
DEVICE=\LSP\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LSP
DEVICE=\LSP\IBMMPC.DOS
DEVICE=\LSP\DXMA0MOD.SYS
DEVICE=\LSP\DXME0MOD.SYS
DEVICE=\LSP\DXMJ0MOD.SYS
The relevant sections of PROTOCOL.INI may appear as follows, if the
configuration was done using the Installation Aid:
[PROTMAN_MOD]
DriverName = PROTMAN$
[DXME0_NIF]
DriverName = DXME0$
Bindings = IBMMPC_NIF
[DXMJ0MOD_NIF]
DriverName = NETBEUI$
Bindings = IBMMPC_NIF
[IBMMPC_NIF]
DriverName = IBMMPC$
