NDIS Dirver Installation Guide for DEC PATHWORKS Client ============================================================= Introduction ============ This document describes the procedures to install DEC PATHWORKS client driver for AE-200PNP Ethernet Adapter. These drivers conform to the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS 2.01) defined by Microsoft/3Com. DEC PATHWORKS network OS doesn't support Plug&Play feature and if your computer doesn't support PnP function also, you must set the LAN card in "Jumperless" mode through our PNPSETUP.EXE program; Otherwise, it can not work correctly. Installation Procedures ======================= The AE-200PNP Ethernet Adapter is assumed to have been installed in your computer and physically connect to the network, and the DEC "PATHWORKS for DOS" is assumed to be installed on your hard disk. 1. Insert the DEC PATHWORKS Client Setup Disk #1 into yor floppy driver (A or B). 2. Under DOS prompt, type "NETSETUP" <Enter>. 3. Unless you have an LK250 keyboard, Select "NO". 4. Select the DECNETT transport option and press <Enter>. 5. Insert the DNET TRNSPRT disk #1 into floppy driver. 6. Specify the destination driver letter (C or D). 7. Are you creating an initial workstation diskette? Select "NO". 8. Type the Node Name and Address (i.e. Node Number), Press <Enter>. 9. Type the Server Name and Address (i.i. Node Number), Press <Enter>. 10. Select "Ethernet" when prompt " Select the network adapter type". 11. Select "(Other NDIS)" when prompt "Select the network adapter". 12. Enter full path and driver name for NDIS driver. A:\PATHWORK\PNPND.DOS or B:\PATHWORK\PNPND.DOS 13. If they are all accurate, select "WRITE KEY DISK" to start insta- llation. Follow all prompts till completion. 14. At the configuration screen, press F10 to return DOS prompt. 15. Unsing text editor to edit PROTOCOL.INI at DECNET sub-directory and CONFIG.SYS under root directory as following. --- Sample CONFIG.SYS file --- : DEVICE=C:\DECNET\PROTMAN.SYS /I:C:\DECNET DEVICE=C:\DECNET\PNPND.DOS LASTDRIVE=V : --- Sample PROTOCOL.INI file --- : [IPX4MAC] DRIVER = IPX$MAC BINDINGS = RTL8019_NIF [DATALINK] DRIVERNAME DLL$MAC LG_BUFFERS = 16 SM_BUFFERS = 6 OUTSTANDING = 32 HEURISTICS = 0 BINDINGS = RTL8019_NIF NI_IRQ = 3 ; Specify IRQ level used by adapter [RTL8019_NIF] IOBASE = 0x300 ; Depend on Adapter's setting INTERRUPT = 3 ; Depend on Adapter's setting DRIVERNAME = PNPND$ --- Sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file --- : @CALL \DECNET\STARTNET :
