Intel PRO appendix Artisoft LANtastic/AI, Memory Exclusion

C H A P T E R 3

Memory Exclusion

When using a memory manager (under DOS and Windows 3.X), you must exclude a 4K memory range between C000 and EF00 for the use of the PRO/100 CardBus adapter. For example:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D200-D2FF

This example excludes 4K of the D200 segment for use by the PRO/100 CardBus adapter. If the CardBus software is not configured for a specific address, it will automatically detect a free memory range. Otherwise, be sure the CardBus software is set to the same memory window that is excluded.

Sample Configuration Files for Selected Network Operating Systems

The following sample configuration files show default parameters for some network operating systems. This information is designed to supplement the information provided in Chapter 2, Software Installation.

Artisoft LANtastic/AI 6.0

NOTE:

If you are using DOS multi-menu CONFIG.SYS, the three LANtastic-related lines in the CONFIG.SYS will be located in a COMMON section at the end of your CONFIG.SYS. You will have to manually move those lines into the proper menuitem section of your CONFIG.SYS. The same is true for the line call c:\lantasti\startnet.bat in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Sample CONFIG.SYS

device=c:\dos\himem.sys

REM INTEL PRO/100 CB — DO NOT CHANGE LINES BELOW DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D200-D2FF

REM DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
