BANYAN VINES DOS WORKSTATION INSTALLATION NOTES:
FOR THE INTEL EtherExpress(tm) 16 FAMILY OF NETWORK ADAPTERS
============================================================

  This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16/TP, MCA, and
  MCA/TP.  It contains installation notes for installing the driver.
  It does not explain how to configure an EtherExpress board.  For
  instructions about configuring the board, see either the Expert's
  Guide or the Complete Guide for your board.

  NOTE: This document or an updated version (if the procedure 
        changed since this was written) is available on FaxBACK. 
        Document # 6300.


INTRODUCTION:
-------------

  This document contains information relating to Banyan Vines releases
  4.00(0), 4.00(1), 4.00(2), and 4.10.

  The EtherExpress network adapters communicate with Banyan Vines via
  an NDIS driver supplied on the EtherExpress diskette.  Vines versions
  4.00(x) require a patch from Banyan to talk to an NDIS driver.
  Version 4.10 has this patch included.

  For information about these patches call your Banyan Vines
  representative and ask for Banyan Vines Bulletin #200 dated 9/1/91.

  The patch for versions 4.00(0) and 4.00(1) is called NEW REV 1Y.  The
  patch for version 4.00(2) is called NEW REV patch 2NNN.

    NEW REV patch 2NNN contains four files:

    - NDISBAN.COM  The VINES NDIS driver
    - NDISBAN.DOC  An ASCII file containing installation
                   instructions about the driver
    - PROTMAN.DOS  Version 1.1 of the protocol manager
    - NETBIND.EXE  Starts Protman

  NOTE: The version of TCP/IP supplied with Banyan Vines 4.X does not
        support NDIS drivers.  To use TCP/IP with an NDIS driver, you
        will need to purchase a version of TCP/IP that supports NDIS.
        We recommend you call your Banyan support representative for
        more information.

  The rest of this document is installation notes on how to install the
  EtherExpress NDIS driver with Banyan Vines 4.00(2).


PROCEDURE FOR A VINES 4.00(2) WORKSTATION:
------------------------------------------

  1.  You will need the I/O address and IRQ of the EtherExpress card.
      Boot your computer from a DOS diskette.  

      EtherExpress 16: Run SOFTSET and choose view configuration.

      EtherExpress MCA: Run the System Configuration utility and choose
      view configuration.

  2.  From a workstation already on the network, install the NDIS patch
      on your server(s).  The NDIS support files will be copied onto
      the Z:\PCINIT subdirectory of your server.

      NOTE: This patch should be on a server that is within one hop of
            the workstation.

  3.  Read the NDISBAN.DOC file in the Z:\PCINIT subdirectory of your
      server.  This readme file was supplied with the NDIS patch.

  4.  Follow Banyan's instructions for creating a boot disk.  (You must
      be using DOS 3.1 or newer.)

  5.  Run PCCOPY from the Z drive of the server.

  6.  When PCCOPY prompts you to select a LAN adapter, select "NDIS
      Ethernet." PCCOPY will copy the appropriate files to your boot
      disk.

  7.  On your boot disk, create a A:\LANMAN subdirectory.

  8.  From the EtherExpress diskette, copy \VINES\PROTOCOL.INI file to
      the new \LANMAN directory on the boot disk.

      DO NOT specify the IRQ level in the PROTOCOL.INI file.  However,
      if the EtherExpress board is set to use an I/O address other
      than 300h, edit the PROTOCOL.INI and change the IOADDRESS=300 to
      the correct I/O address.

  9.  Copy \NDIS\EXP16.DOS from the EtherExpressdiskette to the root
      directory of the boot diskette.  Verify that the root directory
      also contain BAN.EXE.

 10.  From the boot disk, run PCCONFIG and select "NDIS Ethernet."
      Choose the IRQ that matches the configuration of the EtherExpress
      board.  When PCCONFIG prompts for "Bindings =", enter EXP16.

 11.  Before exiting PCCONFIG, save the configuration.

 12.  Add these two lines to your CONFIG.SYS file:

        Device=PROTMAN.DOS
        Device=EXP16.DOS

 13.  Using this boot disk, reboot the workstation.  The workstation
      will logon to the network.


STATUS-CHECKING UTILITY
=======================

  We've provided a utility, EXPSTAT.EXE, that allows you to check the
  status of the driver.  The utility is located in the NDIS
  subdirectory on the EtherExpress disk.

  When you execute EXPSTAT, your screen will display three kinds of
  information about the driver and the board.

  - The configuration of the board.

  - The current status of the board.

  - A list of all the types of errors that the board has experienced 
    since the system was last booted.  To erase the record of error 
    types, reboot the system.
