Installing the MDGND.OS2 driver for IBM LAN Server

Many IBM LAN products for OS/2 version 2.x require you to use the IBM LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) program to configure the protocol stack. LAPS is supplied with the following products:

• IBM LAN Server
• IBM Extended Services for OS/2
• IBM Network Transport Services/2

You can also use it to configure protocols for:

• IBM Communications Manager/2
• IBM Database Manager/2

The instructions describe how to install The Madge driver, MDGND.OS2, under OS/2 LAN Server 4.0. To install MDGND.OS2 under OS/2 LAN Server 3.0, replace the first three instructions of the 'To install MDGND.OS2 under OS/2 LAN Server 4.0' section with the following:

1. Run the IBM LAPS program and insert the Madge release disk into a floppy drive.

2. Select Install from the LAPS front panel.

3. Type the path of the directory A:\OS2 which is where the drivers are stored. LAPS copies the files from the Madge release disk.

To install MDGND.OS2 under OS/2 LAN Server 4.0:

1. Run the Multi-Protocol Transport Services (MPTS) configuration program by clicking on the MPTS icon in the LAN Services File and Print folder.

2. Insert the Madge release disk into a floppy drive.

3. Click on Install.

4. Type the path of the directory A:\OS2 which is where the drivers are stored. MPTS copies the files from the Madge release disk.

5. Shutdown and reboot your computer.

   (If IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter appears in the Current Configuration box, remove the protocols for the adapter individually, and then remove the adapter name)

i Add Madge Fastmac Plus OS/2 NDIS MAC driver for Smart 16/4 Ringnodes to the list in the Current Configuration box.

ii Add all of the protocols you need to the list in the Current Configuration box. Basic operation for LAN Server Requesters requires IBM OS/2 NETBIOS. If you are using IBM host connectivity, select IBM IEEE 802.2 as well.

iii To view or change parameters in PROTOCOL.INI, select Edit.

iv Complete installation by following the on-screen instructions.
