116 Installation Guide for Clients
path
The path for the directory in which the driver and its associated
PROTOCOL.INI file are located. The Setup program appends path
to the end of lanroot\DRIVERS, where lanroot is the LAN Manager
root directory (usually C:\LANMAN.DOS for MS-DOS
workstations, or C:\LANMAN for OS/2 workstations). When the
Setup program installs the driver on a hard drive, this directory is
created if it does not exist already.
devicedriver
The name of the device driver along with appropriate options to be
added as a device line in the CONFIG.SYS file. You can have more
than one devicedriver line if the named device driver requires that
other device drivers be loaded as well. If the device driver is in the
path listed in path, use just the filename as the name of the device
driver. If the file is not in the path directory, use the variable
@lanroot and the relative path of the file. The Setup program
expands the string @lanroot to the path of the LAN Manager root
directory (usually C:\LANMAN). For example,
@lanroot\SAMPLCRD\SAMPLCRD.OS2 typically expands to
C:\LANMAN\SAMPLCRD\SAMPLCRD.OS2.
devicename
The name by which the driver is listed in the LANMAN.INI file
netx=devicename entry. This entry is required only for monolithic
drivers.
type
The type of network adapter driver, as defined in the following list:
ndis
For network adapter drivers that conform to the Microsoft/3Com
LAN Manager network driver interface specification (NDIS).
ndis_sngl
For NDIS drivers that you load only once in CONFIG.SYS, even
if more than one card is installed.
mono
For monolithic drivers.
loop
For the loopback driver, which tells the Setup program that there
can be no other drivers loaded with this one.
tsr
For terminate-and-stay-resident programs that act as monolithic
drivers and are loaded as startup services in the LANMAN.INI
file.
media type
The type of medium that the card will communicate across (for
example, Ethernet).
