5-8 CHAPTER 5: INSTALLING NETWORK DRIVERS
NDIS Systems with Multiple Adapters
If you are installing more than one 3C619C adapter, the
PROTOCOL.INI file must be modified to bind the driver to each
adapter. Parameters must be added to the file to distinguish
each adapter attached to the same driver. These parameters
with their corresponding values are shown in the table below.
For an ISA PC with two 3C619C adapters configured in 3Com
mode, you must add the following lines to the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS/I:C:\LANMAN
DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\TLNK3.DOS
DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\TLNK3.DOS
DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\<PROTOCOLDRIVER>.DOS
Sample PROTOCOL.INI File
Below is a sample PROTOCOL.INI file for an ISA PC with two
3C619C adapters configured in 3Com mode:
[PROTMAN]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
[NETBEUI_XIF]
DRIVERNAME = NETBEUI$
BINDINGS = “TLNK3_NIF”, “TLNK3_NIF2”
[TLNK3_NIF]
; PROTOCOL.INI section for the 3Com
TokenLink III Adapter
DRIVERNAME = TLNK3$
IOBASE = 0x300
[TLNK3_NIF2]
; PROTOCOL.INI section for the 3Com
TokenLink III Adapter
DRIVERNAME = TLNK32$
IOBASE = 0x340
Mode Parameter Values
ISA IOBASE= 0x200–0x2E0, 0x300–0x3E0, 0xA20, 0xA24
EISA SLOT= 1–8
IBM PRIMARY Optional for first adapter installed in
IBM mode
ALTERNATE Use when second adapter is installed in
IBM mode
