Introduction:
=============

  The Ethernet NDIS2 Driver for LAN MANAGER DOS workstations confirms to the
  Network Driver Interface Specification(NDIS2). This document shows you how
  to  setup  the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the
  custom keywords in configuration file.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    LMDOS.TXT            This file.
    PNPND.DOS            The NDIS2 driver for Lan Requester DOS workstations.
    PROTOCOL.INI         Sample protocol.ini file.
    ..\..\NIF\PNPND.NIF  The installation information file.


Installation:
=============

     Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
     is properly installed  and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
     (A:\SETUP.EXE) to make  sure your connection with the network is correct.

  Installing driver procedure on LAN MANAGER DOS WorkStation:
  -----------------------------------------------------------

     1) If you install LAN Manager for the first time, you Install LAN Manager
        to your HardDisk by running SETUP.EXE program from the setup diskette.
        Upon completion of the workstation's last disk installation, you  will
        be asked if you want to import additional network drivers.Answer "YES".

        If you have already installed LAN Manager  in  your  hard  disk ,  run
        SETUP.EXE from  HardDisk and select "Actions"->"Import Network Driver"
        option.

     2) Insert the NDIS2  driver  diskette into drive 'A' and follow the steps
        on the screen. Select  the "Plug&Play ETHERNET ADAPTER" card and press
        "enter", then SETUP.EXE  program  will copy the necessary NDIS2 driver
        programs from the driver diskette to  your hard disk, according to LAN
        MANAGER file structure.

     3) Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.



  NOTE:
  -----
  Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
       If  you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to
       us the keyword, PNPID, in PROTOCOL.INI file at LAN MANAGER directory to
       let  driver locate the right adapter. And you must set DriverName to be
       PNPND$ and PNPND2$ for two different adapters. You can run A:\SETUP.EXE
       under DOS prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.


Configuration Files:
====================

    Sample of configuration file:
    -----------------------------
    (Suppose the Lan Requester package is installed at C:\NET directory)

    File Name:          C:\CONFIG.SYS
    ----------
        LASTDRIVE=Z
        DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LANMAN.DOS
        DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\PNPND\PNPND.DOS
        DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI\NETBEUI.DOS

    File Name:          C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
    ----------
        (Suppose Computer name is set to AAA)
        C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\NETBIND
        NET START WORKSTATION AAA


    File Name:          C:\LANMAN.DOS\PROTOCOL.INI
    ----------
        [PROTOCOL MANAGER]
          DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
        [NETBEUI_XIF]
          Drivername = netbeui$
          BINDINGS   = "PNPND_NIF"
        [PNPND_NIF]
          IOBASE     = 0x300
          INTERRUPT  = 5
          DRIVERNAME = PNPND$
          EARLYRECEIVE  = 0
          EARLYTRANSMIT = 0
        [PNPND_NIF]
          IOBASE     = 0x300
          INTERRUPT  = 5
          DRIVERNAME = PNPND2$
          EARLYRECEIVE  = 0
          EARLYTRANSMIT = 0


    Custom Keywords:
    ----------------
        PNPID="hhhhhhhhhhhh"        This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
                                    the adapter you want to drive. If there
                                    are  more than one ethernet adapters in
                                    your system ,  you  have  to  use  this
                                    keyword to let driver locate  the right
                                    adapter. However, you don't have to use
                                    this property or let the  value  to  be
                                    zero ( i.e. PNPID=0 ) if there  is only
                                    one adapter in your system.

                                    Note:  Please  remember  to  enter  the
                                           double quotes.

        EARLYTRANSMIT               This keyword is used  to  enable  turbo
                                    transmission mode for accelerating data
                                    transmission.

        EARLYRECEIVE                This keyword is  used  to  enable turbo
                                    transmission mode for accelerating data
                                    receiption.

        FULLDUPLEX                  This  keyword  is  used  to enable full
                                    duplex mode.

        Note:For ISA PnP mode,the IOBASE and INTERRUPT keywords are ignored
             in your PROTOCOL.INI file.
