Special Considerations II. Files Needed for Installation III. Installing the NDIS Drivers IV. Removing an Existing Driver V. Adding Novell NetWare 3.x or 4.x with IPXODI Support I. Special Considerations ========================== Configuration of the AT-2450/2700 resources is under PCI control. For most applications, no setup other than normal installation of the network software is necessary. To change port settings, to manually view the card's configuration or to run Diagnostics, use the CardAssistant setup program, SETUP.EXE. Also, do NOT set the hardware (Setup.exe) to Auto-Negotiate. This will cause the drivers to not function properly. The SETUP utility only runs on DOS. If you do not have a DOS boot partition on your Windows NT drive, boot DOS from floppy. II. Files Needed for Installation ================================= The following files are required for installation: \OEMSETUP.INF (Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Setup information file) \ATINIC.DOS (NDIS 2.0 Driver) \ATINIC.386 (NDIS ENHANCED DRIVER) \ATNIC.COM (16-bit DOS ODI driver) III. Installing NDIS3, NDIS2, ODI Drivers ========================================== 1. From the "Network" group in Program Manager, choose "Network Setup". 2. In the "Network Setup" dialog box, choose "Networks". 3. In the "Networks" dialog box, verify that "Install Microsoft Windows Network" is selected. Then choose "OK". 4. In the "Network Setup" dialog box, choose "Sharing". 5. In the "Sharing" dialog box, select whether to allow file and/or printer sharing with other users. 6. In the "Network Setup" dialog box, choose "Drivers". Then, in the "Network Drivers" dialog box, choose "Add Adapter". 7. In the "Add Network Adapter" dialog box, select "Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter". Then choose "OK". 8. Insert the AT-2450/2700 CardAssistant Disk 2 into your floppy drive. Then, in the text box of the "Install Driver" dialog box, type: a:\ and choose OK. 9. In the "Network Adapters" list of the "Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter" dialog box, verify that "Allied Telesyn AT-2450/2700 Series Ethernet Adapter" is highlighted. Then choose "OK". 10. In the "Network Drivers" dialog box, verify that "Allied Telesyn AT-2450/2700 Series Ethernet Adapter" and its default protocols,"Microsoft NetBEUI" and "IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with NetBIOS", appear in the "Network Drivers" list. Then choose "Close". 11. In the "Network Setup" dialog box, choose "OK". 12. If prompted, insert the required Windows for Workgroups diskette(s) into your floppy drive and then choose "OK". (WFW occasionally loses its place at this point; if you get a message from Windows that it can't find a file, try inserting WFW install diskettes 7 and 8.) 13. If prompted, reinsert the CardAssistant diskette into your floppy drive. In the text box of the "Install Driver" dialog box, choose "OK". 14. From the "Windows Setup" dialog box, choose "Restart Computer". -------------------------------- -- Sample PROTOCOL.INI File -- -------------------------------- PROTOCOL.INI ------------ [network.setup] version=0x3110 netcard=ms$atinic3,1,MS$atinic3,3 transport=ms$nwlinknb,NWLINK transport=ms$ndishlp,MS$NDISHLP transport=ms$netbeui,NETBEUI lana0=ms$atinic3,1,ms$netbeui lana1=ms$atinic3,1,ms$nwlinknb lana2=ms$atinic3,1,ms$ndishlp [protman] DriverName=PROTMAN$ PRIORITY=MS$NDISHLP [NWLINK] BINDINGS=MS$atinic3 [MS$NDISHLP] DriverName=ndishlp$ BINDINGS=MS$atinic3 [NETBEUI] DriverName=netbeui$ SESSIONS=10 NCBS=12 BINDINGS=MS$atinic3 LANABASE=0 [MS$atinic3] DriverName=atinic3$ [atinic3] Adapters=MS$atinic3 Note: These are the default values for installation. If you are adding any TCP/IP software, this configuration will satisfy the NDIS 2.0 requirements of TCP/IP systems. IV. Removing an Existing Driver =============================== IMPORTANT - If you have already installed Windows for Workgroups and the atinic3.DOS NDIS driver, follow the numbered steps in this section. The initial installation copies the OEMSETUP.INF to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. It renames the file to OEMx.INF, where x is a number starting with 0 for drivers that are not shipped with Windows for Workgroups; this also pertains to video and printer drivers. 1. Click on the Network Icon in the Network Control panel. Select the "Drivers" button in the Network Setup, select the "Remove" button, then select "Yes" when asked if you want to remove the driver. 2. Delete the OEMx.INF file(s) from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, where is the number corresponding to the OEM file for the AT-2450/2700 driver. Otherwise, Windows for Workgroups will not allow any upgrades or changes to existing drivers. If you have installed only one other driver, the file has the following name: OEM0.INF 609 bytes 8/11/93 If you are not sure if which OEMx.INF file to delete, use a text editor to view the file. It will contain references to ATI. All references to the AT-2450/2700 driver in the "Network Setup", "Drivers" dialog box will have been removed. V. Adding Novell NetWare 3.x or 4.x with IPXODI Support ======================================================== With IPXODI Support For NetWare 3.x ----------------------------------- 1. Make a directory on your hard drive (e.g.; C:\ATINET), copy the contents of the \DOSODI directory on your AT-2450/2700 CardAssistant diskette to the directory you created. (The \DOSODI directory on the CardAssistant diskette contains the ODI drivers.) 2. Verify that the ODI drivers for the AT-2450/2700 Ethernet Adapter Card are NOT loaded before setting up Windows for Workgroups. 3. Start Windows. Then, from the "Network" group, choose "Network Setup". 4. In the "Network Setup" dialog box, choose "Networks". 5. In the "Networks" dialog box, select "Install Microsoft Windows Network" and then select "Other". 6. From the "Other" drop down list, select "Novell NetWare (Workstation Shell 3.X)". Then choose "OK". 7. In the "Novell NetWare" dialog box, select "IPXODI.COM and LSL.COM (recommended). Then choose "OK". 8. In the "Network Drivers" dialog box, verify that "ATI AT-2450/2700 [ODI/NDIS2]" and its default protocols, "Microsoft NetBEUI" and "IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with NetBIOS", appear in the "Network Drivers" list. Then Choose "OK". 9. When asked if you want to modify the net.cfg file, you can enter the path to the directory created earlier for your ODI files (e.g.;C:\ATINET). After you make your changes, or if you do not want to make changes, choose "OK". 10. From the "Windows Setup" dialog box, choose "Continue". 11. EDIT the Autoexec.bat file by inserting the following file references BEFORE C:\WINDOWS\odihlp.exe: c:\atinet\lsl c:\atinet\ATNIC c:\atinet\ipxodi c:\atinet\netx 12. Exit Windows and re-boot your PC by turning power OFF then ON. With IPXODI Support For NetWare 4.x ----------------------------------- 1. Verify that the ODI drivers for the AT-2450/2700 Ethernet Adapter Card are NOT loaded before setting up Windows for Workgroups. 2. From the DOS command line, install the NetWare DOS/Windows Client software. Select "Yes" to install Windows support and then enter the path to your Windows directory, for example, C:\WINDOWS 3. Start Windows. Then, from the "Network" group, choose "Network Setup". 4. In the "Network Setup" dialog box, choose "Networks". 5. In the "Networks" dialog box, select "Install Microsoft Windows Network" and then select "Other". 6. From the "Other" drop down list, select "Novell NetWare (Workstation Shell 4.0 and above)". Then choose "OK". 7. In the "Novell NetWare" dialog box, select "IPXODI.COM and LSL.COM (recommended)". Then choose "OK". 8. In the "Network Drivers" dialog box, verify that "ATI AT-2450/2700 family [ODI/NDIS2]" and its default protocols, "Microsoft NetBEUI" and "IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with NetBIOS", appear in the "Network Drivers" list. Then choose "OK". 9. From the "Windows Setup" dialog box, choose "Restart Computer". Installing Novell NetWare 3.x and 4.x support adds the following lines to your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files: CONFIG.SYS ---------- DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT ------------ C:\WINDOWS\ODIHLP.EXE Note: The sample AUTOEXEC.BAT shows VLM.EXE being used instead of NETX.EXE. VLMs are required for NetWare 4.x but may be an alternative to NETX with NetWare 2.x and 3.x. ------------------------------------------- -- Sample NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI Files -- ------------------------------------------- NET.CFG ------- LINK DRIVER ATNIC Medium 10H Frame Ethernet_802.3 Frame Ethernet_II Frame Ethernet_802.2 Frame Ethernet_SNAP #The following commands are used with VLM support NETWARE DOS REQUESTER FIRST NETWORK DRIVE=F PROTOCOL.INI ------------ [network.setup] version=0x3110 netcard=ms$atinic3,1,MS$atinic3,4 transport=ms$netbeui,NETBEUI transport=ms$nwlinknb,NWLINK lana0=ms$atinic3,1,ms$nwlinknb lana1=ms$atinic3,1,ms$netbeui [MS$atinic3] [NETBEUI] BINDINGS=ATNIC LANABASE=1 [net.cfg] PATH=C:\NET\net.cfg [Link Driver ATNIC] data=Frame Ethernet_SNAP data=Frame Ethernet_802.2 data=Frame Ethernet_II data=Frame Ethernet_802.3 data=Link Driver ATNIC [NWLINK] BINDINGS=ATNIC * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
