BC 4035
Appendix C - NDIS 2.0.1 Driver Installation

Microsoft LAN Manager Driver

The BC can be used as a LAN Manager server, workstation, enhanced workstation for MS-DOS, or basic workstation for MS-DOS. The system hardware and software requirements as well as the installation procedure for the LAN Manager software are contained in the Microsoft LAN Manager Installation Guide provided with the LAN Manager software.

The files on the BC Series 10 Base-T Driver Diskette are compressed in the form of self extracting ZIP files. Before installation of any drivers, the appropriate ZIP file must be decompressed. To decompress the LAN Manager DOS, OS/2 drivers, insert the driver diskette into the system, change to that drive and type:

The decompressed drivers will be placed on the same diskette. After the files are decompressed, the diskette is ready for installation.

The directory structure on the driver diskette supports the Microsoft Setup utility, which will always look in the NIF directory for the NDIS drivers network information files. Additional directories that are created to store the drivers should be consistent with the install directory structure.

Installation

1. Insert the BC Series 10 Base-T Driver Diskette into the system.

2. From the LAN Manager Subdirectory on the hard disk, run SETUP to begin installation.

3. Use the ALT key and highlighted letter to pull down the Configuration Menu (ALT + C).

4. From the Network Adapter dialog box, select the AMD PCnet Family driver from the menu, if shown. Otherwise, select Other Driver to import the PCnet driver from the driver diskette.

5. Enter the drive letter for the driv er diskette. No path is required.

6. Select the desired protocol from the Network Protocol dialog box and choose OK.

7. Select the PCnet Family Ethernet Adapter from the Workstation Configuration dialog box and choose OK.

8. Complete the installation process as detailed in the instructions.

As an example, CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and PROTOCOL.INI will look like the following

CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LANMAN.DOS

DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNE-RPCNET\PCNTNW.DOS

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Driver

Please refer to the Installing the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Driver in Appendix D - NDIS 3.0 Driver Installation. The procedure to load NDIS 2.0.1 is exactly the same as for NDIS 3.0. In fact, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 will automatically load NDIS 2.0.1, NDIS 3.0, or both drivers together.

Banyan VINES Client Driver

The PCnet driver may be configured to run in the Banyan VINES environment for client based systems only.

The files on the BC Series 10 Base-T Driver Diskette are compressed in the form of self extracting ZIP files. Before installation of any drivers, the appropriate ZIP file must be decompressed. To decompress the Banyan VINES client driver, insert the driver diskette into the system, change to that drive and type:

The decompressed drivers will be placed on the same diskette. After the files are decompressed, the diskette is ready for installation.

The steps to load the driver are as follows:

1. Copy all the files necessary (see Table C-1) for VINES from the VINES master diskettes to a working directory (for example, C:\VINES).

2. Copy the PCnet driver (PCNTND.DOS) from the MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNE-RPCNET directory on the BC Series 10 Base-T Driver Diskette to the same working directory as the VINES files (e.g. C:\VINES).

3. Create PROTOCOL.INI, CONFIG.SYS, and AUTOEXEC.BAT (examples are included later in this section).

4. Run the VINES PCCONFIG to configure the NDIS Ethernet Driver.

5. Reboot the machine and run AUTOEXEC.BAT.

6. Run BAN.
