30 Installation Guide for Clients

Network adapter

To communicate over the network, a computer must have at least one

network adapter installed. You must know each adapter that is

installed so that you can determine the appropriate network adapter

driver and protocol, and you must know the settings that have been

used for each network adapter. (For more information about network

adapters, settings, and network adapter drivers, see Part 4, “Network

Device Drivers.”)

OS/2 version

Determine which version of OS/2 you are using. For information

about which versions of OS/2 work with LAN Manager, see

Chapter 1, “Introduction.”

Network Adapter Drivers and Protocols

When installing, you’ll need to provide information about the

computer’s network adapters and network adapter drivers.

A device driver is software that coordinates between the computer’s

software and hardware. LAN Manager uses a kind of device driver

called network adapter drivers to operate the network adapter(s) in the

computer. Network adapter drivers control the physical function of the

network adapters, and protocol drivers bind to the network adapter

drivers.

During installation or configuration, you will be shown lists of the

available network adapter drivers and the available protocols, and you

must choose one or more of each for installation on the workstation.

The network adapter driver you select must support the network adapter

installed in the computer. You must also select one or more protocols to

associate with the selected network adapter driver. The protocol(s) you

select must be supported by your network.

LAN Manager includes many device drivers that work with many types

of network adapters. Or you can also install network device drivers

from a supplemental drivers disk prepared for LAN Manager

installation. (Usually, the manufacturer of the network adapter supplies

this disk, or you can create a supplemental drivers disk. For more

information, see Chapter 10, “Creating Supplemental Drivers Disks.”)
