=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ABOUT THIS FILE The purpose of this file is to provide additional information that was not available when the INSTALLATION AND TESTING INSTRUCTIONS manual that was published. The README.1ST file provides the following: 1. Limitations and Restrictions 2. Example Installation Process 3. Installation Location of Files 4. Common Errors and Their Solutions =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS Use of multiple TURBOWAYS 100 Adapters in one computer is not supported. The IBM 8260 ATM Switch/Control Point must have a code level of v.1.0.8 or later. (The code level is displayed on the console.) This level of code can be obtained by contacting your IBM technical support representative as described in Appendix F of the installation and testing manual. If you are using LES version 1.00F, then BEST_E_PK_RATE should be set to less than 100000 (Kbps) in PROTOCOL.INI. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- EXAMPLE INSTALLATION PROCESS For this example, OS/2 and MPTS (LAPS) are installed on the C: partition and the files to be installed are on the diskette containing the README.1ST you are reading. This product comes with .NIF files that allow it to be installed via MPTS. Change the current directory to \IBMCOM and enter MPTS (or LAPS). Select OK on the first panel. Select INSTALL on the second panel. Input A: for the source location and then press ENTER. After the files are installed, select the CONFIGURE option from the Main Menu, and then follow the instructions on the panel to select and configure the TURBOWAYS 100 Adapter through MPTS. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- INSTALLATION LOCATION OF FILES After installation is complete, these driver files should be installed in the following directories: LEC File Location where installed AT100LE.OS2 \IBMCOM\MACS AT100LEO.NIF \IBMCOM\MACS ATW.MSG \IBMCOM ATWH.MSG \IBMCOM ATM0.CFG \IBMCOM DDIF100.LEC \IBMCOM RIC_BASE.REL \IBMCOM RIC_KERN.REL \IBMCOM CIP File Location where installed AT100IP.OS2 \IBMCOM\MACS AT100IPO.NIF \IBMCOM\MACS ATW.MSG \IBMCOM ATWH.MSG \IBMCOM ATM0.CFG \IBMCOM DDIF100.LEC \IBMCOM RIC_BASE.REL \IBMCOM RIC_KERN.REL \IBMCOM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- COMMON ERRORS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS o Initialization Errors at Boot-time If an initialaztion error message appears, then it's possible that the files were not installed in the correct location. Please refer to the INSTALLATION LOCATION OF FILES above to verify that the files are in their proper locations, especially DDIF100.LEC, ATM0.CFG, RIC_BASE.REL and RIC_KERN.REL. If you have used MPTS and walked down the following path for installation, these files can be installed in the wrong directory. MPTS OK CONFIGURE CONFIGURE OTHER ADAPTERS If you have used MPTS to install the code, make sure you use the INSTALL button on the second panel for installation. Please refer to the EXAMPLE INSTALLATION PROCESS above. o TCP/IP and ATM Driver We have found problems when the TCP/IP MTU size is configured to be around the same size as the ATM driver's MAX_FRAME_SIZE. To eliminate all problems, configure the MTU size to be at least 52 bytes less than the MAX_FRAME_SIZE. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
