A.0 Appendix A. Messages
This appendix lists the messages that the LAN Support Program Custom
Version 1.01 device driver files can display when being loaded into
memory. These messages start with DXM.
A.1 Message Format
Figure A-1 shows the format of the sample message:
DXMA0 02E: DOS Version 3.3 or later required.
The messages are listed in numerical order. See the sections following
this table for descriptions of the device driver, message type, and
message text categories.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Figure A-1. Message Format |
+-----------+-----------+------------+-----------------------------------+
| Device | Message | Message | |
| Driver | Number | Type | Message Text |
+-----------+-----------+------------+-----------------------------------+
| DXMA0 | 02 | E | DOS Version 3.3 or later required |
+-----------+-----------+------------+-----------------------------------+
A.1.1 Device Driver Identifier
The first 5 characters of the message (for example, DXMT0) identify the
device driver that originated the message. These drivers are as follows:
DXMA0MOD.SYS
DXMC0MOD.SYS
DXMT0MOD.SYS
For a description of these drivers, see "Device Driver Summary" in
topic 4.1.
A.1.2 Message Type
The two types of messages are:
E Error
I Information.
A.1.3 Message Text
The message text is a phrase describing the message. The variable
portions of the message are represented by symbols separated from the rest
of the message text by single quotation marks. The description of these
symbols follows:
° The adapter number is represented by 'n'. This number may be 0 or 1
(0 for the primary adapter, 1 for the alternate adapter). The LAN
Support Program Custom supports only one adapter, but that adapter can
be configured as either primary or alternate.
° The term 'data' stands for 24 bytes of the DEVICE= line in the
CONFIG.SYS file. The bytes begin with the abbreviation of the NETBIOS
keyword in error, followed by the "=" and the value of the parameter.
For example, consider the following message:
DXMT0 36E: Invalid keyword value: SS=18
The 'data' in this example is SS=18. The following command is entered
in CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=DXMT0MOD.SYS SS=18
SS is the incorrect keyword; you must replace it with a correct
keyword abbreviation, such as S. (Refer to "Keyword Values for the
NETBIOS New Parameters" in topic 4.4.2 for a description of the
keywords.)
The terms Token-Ring Adapter and Token-Ring Network Adapter refer to the
adapter with which the LAN Support Program Custom is shipped.
If an error message is displayed, you will be prompted by the device
driver to "Press F1 to Continue." After pressing F1, wait for the DOS
prompt to be displayed. When it is, you can attempt to correct the
problem by reading the "Explanation" and following the directions provided
as "User Response."
Information relating to parameters can be found in Chapter 4, "Customizing
the Device Driver Parameters."
A.2 Device Driver Message Listings
The LAN Support Program Custom Version 1.01 can display the messages
listed in this section. Each message number is preceded by the identifier
of the device driver. This identifier (for example, DXMT0) is not shown
in the listing because it varies depending upon which driver displays the
message.

read for one or more of the following reasons:
° The Interrupt Arbitrator (DXMA0MOD.SYS) was not previously loaded.
° DXM.MSG could not be located.
° The language type of the file does not correspond to the DOS language
type specified by the DXMA0MOD.SYS language parameter.
° DXM.MSG is from the wrong version of the LAN Support Program Custom.
NOTE: This message is not translated. U.S. English is always displayed.
User Response:
° Make sure that the Interrupt Arbitrator is loaded. Do this in one of
two ways:
- Use the Installation Aid to reconfigure.
- Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to ensure that the DXMA0MOD.SYS device
driver is listed in the correct sequence. DXMA0MOD.SYS must be
loaded before any other LAN Support Program Custom device driver.
° Make sure that DXM.MSG is present on the working copy in the same
directory as the LAN Support Program Custom device drivers.
° If you did not use the Installation Aid, and you are not using U.S.
English, be sure that you renamed DXMMSG.ccc to DXM.MSG on the working
copy (ccc represents the DOS country code).
° Make sure that the language type of the file matches the language type
specified by the DXMA0MOD.SYS parameter. See "Copying DXM.MSG" in
topic 3.2.1.
° Make sure that you got the message file and the LAN Support Program
Custom device drivers from the same version of the LAN Support Program
Custom.

| 31E: Requested resources exceed capabilities on adapter 'n' |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Explanation: The resources defined exceed those supported by the LAN
Support Program Custom or by the adapter; for example, too many link
stations are defined. This error message can appear when the device
driver parameters EXTRA.SAPS, EXTRA.STATIONS, STATIONS, MINSAP, or MINLINK
are set so that the work area available with LAN Support Program Custom
Version 1.01 is exhausted.
User Response: Do one of the following:
° Use the Installation Aid to reconfigure the parameters to ensure that
the resource requirements are not exceeded. You may need to reduce
the values of the parameters EXTRA.SAPS, EXTRA.STATIONS, STATIONS,
MINSAP, or MINLINK.
° Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to ensure that the resource requirements are
not exceeded. You may need to reduce the values of the parameters
EXTRA.SAPS, EXTRA.STATIONS, STATIONS, MINSAP, or MINLINK.
See "Work Area Considerations for LAN Support Program Custom Version 1.01"
in topic 4.7 for more information. If you must have higher values for
these parameters than the LAN Support Program Custom Version 1.01
supports, you must obtain one of the stand-alone versions of the LAN
Support Program. See "Using a Stand-Alone Version of the LAN Support
Program" in topic 1.1.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

open.
User Response: If the NETBIOS OPEN.ON.LOAD parameter is set, then the
NETBIOS driver DXMT0MOD.SYS will try to open the adapter at load time.
See "Keyword Values for the NETBIOS New Parameters" in topic 4.4.2 for
instructions about the parameter. If an initialization or open error
occurs, this message appears. Check the adapter data rate and adapter
diagnostic information as follows:
° Verify that the adapter data rate is the same as the ring data rate.
Your LAN administrator will know the ring data rate. If the rates are
different, refer to the adapter installation and testing instructions
for instructions about changing the rate.
° Refer to the adapter installation and testing instructions for
diagnostic information.
