4-52 PRO/100 LAN+Modem PC Card User’s Guide

After the driver has been successfully loaded, the memory exclusion may

be reduced through trial and error or in accordance with the Card and

Socket Services documentation. The system must be rebooted before the

revised settings take effect.

B. When the PRO/100 PC Card driver is loaded it either reads a configu-

ration file or uses command line parameters to determine which resources

it should use. The following is a list of driver types, driver file names, and

the configuration method used by each:

Type File Name

Configuration Method

ODI

M16BODI.COM reads NET.CFG configuration file

NDIS2 M16BNDIS.EXE reads PROTOCOL.INI configuration file
Packet M16BPD.EXE

uses COMMAND LINE parameters

Test

M16BTEST.EXE uses COMMAND LINE parameters

C. Card and Socket Services will generally try to assign a set of resources

(interrupt, memory window, I/O window) to the PRO/100 PC Card. The

resources configured for the PRO/100 PC Card (in a configuration file or

on a command line) must match the resources assigned by Card and

Socket Services. If they do not, the driver will generally fail to load.
The way resources are assigned to the PC Card varies among Card and

Socket Services manufacturers. The following section provides guidelines

for the most popular Card and Socket Services. Review your Card and

Socket Services documentation. To use Card and Socket Services with the

PRO/100 PC Card, you must know what resources will be assigned by

Card and Socket Services, then specify the same resources when configur-

ing the PRO/100.
