Quatech MPAP-100 Network Card User Manual


 
3.1 MPAP-100 Client Driver for DOS
In order to use the MPAP-100 client driver, the system must be configured with Card and
Socket Services software. Card and Socket Services software is not provided with the
MPAP-100 but is available from Quatech.
3.1.1 DOS client driver installation
The MPAP-100 client driver accepts between zero and eight sets of desired
configurations from the user on the command line. When an MPAP-100 is inserted, desired
configurations are tried in the order they appear on the command line from left to right. If the
user does not provide any desired configurations, the client driver will ask Card Services to
automatically determine a configuration for the card.
Each desired configuration must be enclosed in parentheses and must be separated from
other desired configurations by a space on the command line. Within each desired configuration,
parameters are separated using commas (no spaces). In the descriptions below, replace the '#'
symbols with the appropriate numeric values.
1. Copy the file MPAP1CL.SYS from the MPAP-100 distribution diskette onto the system's
hard drive.
2. Using an ASCII text editor, open the system's CONFIG.SYS file located in the root
directory of the boot drive.
3. Locate the line(s) in the CONFIG.SYS file where the Card and Socket Services software
is installed.
4. BELOW the line(s) installing the Card and Socket Services software, add the following
line to the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=drive:\path\MPAP1CL.SYS (S#,B#,I#,C) ... (S#,B#,I#,C)
where drive:\path specifies the drive letter and directory to which you copied the client
driver file, and (S#,B#,I#,C) ... (S#,B#,I#,C) stand for a variable number of desired
configurations. The configuration parameters are described below.
