2. Add the following lines to the CONFIG.SYS file that is on your
backup copy of Support Diskette #2. Insert these lines before the
DEVICE=\CSDD5250.SYS
line:
DEVICE=A:\socket_service_driver
DEVICE=A:\card_service_driver
where, socket_service_driver and card_service_driver are the
names of your Socket and Card Services drivers.
For example, IBM-DOS 6.1 provides Socket Services for some
PCs. If your PC is an IBM ThinkPad 720, you could use the
PCMSS.EXE and PCMCS.EXE files that are provided with DOS
6.1. Your CONFlG.SYS file might look like this:
DEVICE=A:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=A:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C000-CFFF
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=A:\DOS\PCMSS.EXE /APOFF
DEVICEHIGH=A:\DOS\PCMCS.EXE /ADDR=C0 /IRQ=l0
DEVICEHIGH=A:\ENB5250\CSDD5250.SYS
For more information about using Card Services, see the
documentation that was provided with your PC or your operating
system.
If problems occur with Card and Socket Services when you configure
and test the adapter, point enabling your adapter might resolve the
problems. For directions, see "Point Enabling the Controller" on
page 28.
Running the Diagnostic Tests
The testing procedure is the same for the IBM 5250 Express ISA
Adapter, the IBM 5250 Express PCI Adapter, and the IBM 5250
Express PC Card. Before you can run the diagnostic tests, you must
configure the adapter for testing. For configuration directions, see
"Preparing to Run the Diagnostics" on page 9.
You can run either of these tests:
Offiine test
This test checks the adapter when it is not connected to the
host. To make sure that the adapter is installed and functioning,
run this test after you install the adapter in the PC and before
you connect the adapter to the host.
To run offline testing, the adapter cable assembly must be
attached at the D-shell connector with the other end or ends of
the adapter cable assembly disconnected from your host cabling
system.
Note: This test does not check communication with the host.
Online test
This test checks the adapter and communication with the host
when your adapter is connected to the host. To make sure that
the adapter is functioning and communicating with the host, run
this test after you connect the adapter to the host.
