This file includes the following topics: - Banyan Vines Installation Notes - SYSTEM.INI Information ============================================================ Banyan Vines Installation Notes ------------------------------- DOS must be installed on the target workstation C: drive, or you must have a bootable DOS floppy. NOTE: Although the driver name is FEM556N2.DOS, the internal driver name (used in PROTOCOL.INI) is FEM556$. 1. Use the DOS MD command to create a subdirectory called \VINES. 2. Copy the contents of the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) Install diskette into the \VINES subdirectory. 3. Copy the contents of the NDIS subdirectory on the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) 2 of 2 diskette into the \VINES subdirectory. 4. Copy the PROTOCOL.INI fragment from the \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\FEM556N2 subdirectory on Installation Disk 2 to the \VINES subdirectory. 5. Copy FMENABLE.EXE and FEM556N2.DOS from the \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\FEM556N2 directory of the Installation Disk 2 to the \Vines subdirectory. 6. Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file to read as follows: [PROTOCOL MANAGER] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ [VINES_XIF] DRIVERNAME = NDISBAN$ BINDINGS = FEM556 [FEM556] DRIVERNAME = FEM556$ 7. Type C:\VINES\FMENABLE and press ENTER. This will report the IRQ which will be used in step 11. Write this down. Type "C:\VINES\FMENABLE /U" and press ENTER. This will unload FMENABLE from memory. 8. Run the PCCONFIG.EXE program located in the \VINES subdirectory. 9. Select option 1 "Network Card Settings". 10. Select the "NDIS Ethernet" option. 11. The NDIS workstation screen appears.

Exit PCCONFIG by pressing F10 at each stage to save the new configuration. 13. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the following lines, substituting A: for C: for a floppy disk installation. DEVICE = C:\VINES\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\VINES DEVICE = C:\VINES\FMENABLE.EXE DEVICE = C:\VINES\FEM556N2.DOS 14. Add the following line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. cd \VINES BAN cd \ BAN loads the NDISBAN drivers and reads the PCCONFIG.DB file to invoke changes made during the PCCONFIG stage. ========================================================= SYSTEM.INI information ======================= In order for the modem to function correctly in MS Windows, add the following commands to your Window's SYSTEM.INI file under the [386Enh] category: (Make sure they are not already there.) [386Enh] : : COM1Base=3F8 COM1Irq=4 COM2Base=2F8 COM2Irq=3 COM3Base=3E8 COM3Irq=4 COM4Base=2E8 COM4Irq=3 (%ver banyan.txt v1.0)
