4. PROTOCOL.INI Do not copy PROTOCOL.GSM to PROTOCOL.INI; the existing network application will already have a PROTOCOL.INI file, and you would destroy its contents.

The PROTOCOL.GSM file created during GSM installation contains a separate sec- tion for defining the operating parameters of each NDIS device: the Protocol Manag- er driver [PROTMGR], the GSM application driver [GEFNDIS], and all network card drivers [(name varies)].

The location of the existing PROTOCOL.INI file is specified by the ª/iº parameter in the Protocol Manager (protman.xxx) device specification in the CONFIG.SYS file. Make sure the network card driver parameters match the settings for your network card. Refer to Table 3-2 for default settings.

The sample PROTOCOL.GSM file shown below is created if you selected the 3Com

EtherlinkII network card during software installation.

[protocol manager]

DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$

[GEFNDIS]

DRIVERNAME = GEFNDIS$

BINDINGS = ETHERLINKII

MAX_RX_SIZE = 560

NUM_RX_BUFS = 8

; Caution:	Interrupt conflicts may arise when using default hardware
;	configurations	for many Ethernet Adapters. For example,
;	interrupt IRQ3	is commonly used for the COM2 serial port
;	and most Ethernet adapters.
;

;The following information must match the hardware configuration

;of the Ethernet Adapter as installed on your computer. Please

;modify this information as necessary.

[ETHERLINKII]
DRIVERNAME =	ELNKII$
DMACHANNEL	= 1
INTERRUPT	= 3
IOADDRESS	= 0x300
MAXTRANSMITS	= 8

You must add the device definition sections for only the [GEFNDIS] device and any new net- work card [name varies] device from the PROTOCOL.GSM file into your existing PROTO- COL.INI file.

5.Restart the PC so that the modifications to the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and PROTOCOL.INI files will be used.
