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.

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

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
