Chapter 3 The GEnet System Manager–Station Configuration
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 “/i” 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.
