NDIS Driver Program Installation November 1992
================================
The NDIS driver programs in this disk support the following D-Link cards:
DE-620CT DE-620TP
DE-620 DE-620AUI
This diskette is labeled as LAN_DRV_DLK and the files are organized as
follows:
Directory Contents
--------- ----------------------------------------------
\NDIS\DOS NDIS driver for DOS
\NDIS\OS2 NDIS driver for OS/2
D-Link NDIS driver program for DOS follows the Microsoft's NDIS spec v2.0.1.
D-Link NDIS driver program support the following network operating systems:
MS LAN Manager v2.1
DECnet PathWork v4.0
WIN/TCP PathWay Access for DOS v1.1
3COM 3+ Open v1.1
Banyan VINES v4.00(2)
IBM LAN Support Program v1.2.1
Windows for Workgroups v3.1
***********************************************
* How to install DE620.DOS on MS LAN MANAGER *
***********************************************
1) Prepare a diskette with volume name "DOS_DRV_DLK" and create directories
in the following manner:
>label a: DOS_DRV_DLK --insert a blank disk in drive 'A'
>md MSLANMAN.DOS --make a directory called MSLANMAN.DOS
>cd MSLANMAN.DOS
>md DRIVERS --make a directory called DRIVERS
>cd DRIVERS
>md ETHERNET --make a directory called ETHERNET
>md NIF --make a directory called NIF
>cd ETHERNET
>md DE620 --make a directory called DE620
MSLANMAN.DOS (root)

DE620
2) Insert the DE-620 driver program diskette in drive 'A' and insert the
prepared diskette (DOS_DRV_DLK) in drive 'B'. Afterwards, copy the
appropriate NDIS driver files from drive 'A' to 'B'.
>a: --go to drive 'A'
>cd ndis\dos
>copy DE620.DOS B:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\DE620
>copy PROTOCOL.INI B:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\DE620
>copy DE620.NIF B:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF
3) MS LAN Manager provides a SETUP.EXE program on their Setup disk.
Execute this SETUP program to specify the proper driver for DE620 card.
-If you are installing LAN Manager for the first time, do the following:
Upon completion of retrieval of the last workstation's disk contents, you
will be asked if you want to import additional network drivers.
Answer "YES".
-If you have already installed LAN Manager in your hardisk, do the following:
Select the Configuration menu, and then select "Add New Config" option.
Afterwards, choose the "Other Driver" option.
4) Insert the prepared diskette (DOS_DRV_DLK) in drive 'A' and follow the
instructions on the screen. The SETUP program will copy the necessary
NDIS driver programs from the DOS_DRV_DLK diskette to your hardisk (into
the LAN Manager directory).
5) After completion of the SETUP, your CONFIG.SYS file will be modified and
contain statements referring to the D-Link NDIS driver programs.
Reboot your computer and follow the NDIS binding procedure to use the D-Link
NDIS driver programs.

****************************************************
You can use the DECnet PathWork's NETSET.EXE program to install D-Link
NDIS driver program. Please refer to DECnet installation manual for
detailed information. The following instructions assume that you have
already installed the DECnet PathWork with 3Com's Etherlink II card.
1) Modify your CONFIG.SYS file as follows:
device = c:\decnet\ELNKII.SYS
to
device = c:\decnet\DE620.DOS

from:
---------------------------------
[ELNKMACII]
drivername = ELNKII$
;ioaddress = 0x300
;interrupt = 3
xmitbufs = 2
[IPX4MAC]
:
bindings = ELNKMACII
:
[DATALINK]
:
bindings = ELNKMACII
:
to:
-----------------------------------
[DE620]
drivername = DE620$
[IPX4MAC]
:
bindings = DE620
:
[DATALINK]
:
bindings = DE620

Supposing that you have installed the 3Com 3+ Open with 3Com's 3C501 card:
1) Copy DE620.DOS to C:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA\LANMAN\DRIVERS.
2) Modify the device driver statement for 3C501 card in your CONFIG.SYS to:
device = c:\3open\doswksta\lanman\drivers\DE620.DOS

*****************************************************
* How to install DE620.DOS on Banyan VINES v4.00(2) *
*****************************************************
NOTE : To install D-Link NDIS driver program, you need BANYAN VINES v4.00(2)
or above.
1. Create a bootable diskette (booted with DOS 3.1 or above) which will be
used as boot diskette of Banyan VINES workstation or create a sub-directory
on your hard disk.
There are two methods to copy the required files for Banyan VINES workstation
to the bootable diskette or sub-directory of hard disk.
Method 1.
1) Execute 'INSTALL' command which was saved in the diskette labeled
"VINES MASTER DISK".
2) Follow the instructions to copy the files to the bootable diskette
or sub-directory of hard disk.
Method 2.
1) Execute 'BAN' command.
2) Login VINES system.
3) Execute 'PCCOPY' command.
4) Select 'NDIS Ethernet' item and follow instructions as menu driven
for copying the files to the bootable diskette or sub-directory of
hard disk.
2. Insert the DE-620 driver program diskette in drive 'A' and insert the
prepared bootable diskette in drive 'B'. Afterwards, copy the appropriate
NDIS driver files DE620.DOS from drive 'A' to 'B' or sub-directory of hard
disk.
3. Create a CONFIG.SYS file which contains the following statements:
DEVICE=PROTMAN.DOS /I:A:\
DEVICE=DE620.DOS
NOTE:" A:\" is the path which may be changed dependeding on the location
of the files for BANYAN VINES workstation.
4. Create a DE620.NIF file and include the following statements in this file:
Model = D-Link DE-620 Ethernet Card
Path = A:\
DeviceDriver = DE620.DOS
DeviceName = DE620$
Type = NDIS
NOTE:" A:\" is the path which may be changed dependeding on the location
of the files for BANYAN VINES workstation.
5. Create a PROTOCOL.INI file as follows:
[PROTOCOL MANAGER]
drivername = PROTMAN$
[VINES_XIF]
drivername = NDISBAN$
bindings = "DE620"
[DE620]
drivername = DE620$
6. Execute 'PCCONFIG' command
1) The "CONFIGURING A PC FOR THE NETWORK" is displayed on the screen
then select item '1 - Network Card Settings'.
|
The "Network Card Setting" is displayed on the screen
then select item 'NDIS Ethernet'.
|
The "NDIS Ethernet" is displayed on the screen
then set your choice for D-Link NIC
Ex. Interrupt Level (2-15) : 7
PROTOCOL.INI bindings = DE620
|
2) Return to Screen "CONFIGURING A PC FOR THE NETWORK"
then select item '2 - Login Environment Settings'.
|
The "Network Card Setting" is displayed on the screen
then select item 'NDIS Ethernet'.
|
then 'PCCONFIG.DB' file will be generated.
7. Reboot your computer.
8. Login into VINES by executing the 'BAN' command.

**************************************************************
Supposing that you have installed the IBM LAN Support Program in your
computer, you can use DE620.DOS to replace the installed driver program.
Follow the instructions below to change the contents of CONFIG.SYS and
PROTOCOL.INI files.
1. Copy DE620.DOS to the directory where your IBM LAN Support program
resides.
2. Modify the original NDIS device driver statement in CONFIG.SYS as
follows:
DEVICE = [driver]:\path\DE620.DOS
3. Modify the PROTOCOL.INI file as follows:
BINDINGS = DE620
:
:
[DE620]
DRIVERNAME = DE620$
