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

  This document shows you how to install Windows for Workgroup 3.1 NDIS driver
  and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords.


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

    WFW31.TXT           This file.
    OEMSETUP.INF        The setup information file for WFW31.
    PNPND.DOS           The NDIS2 driver.



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.

  Setup Procedure:
  ----------------

    1) Start the Windows for Workgroup 3.1.

    2) Click the "Control Panel" icon in the Program Manager Window.

    3) Click the "Network" icon in the Network Window.

    4) When the "Network Settings" dialog box appears, select " Adapters "
       button.

    5) Select "Add" icon from the "Network Adapters" dialog box.

    6) Select "Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter".

    7) When the " Install Driver " window appears, insert the distribution
       diskette into drive A:, type "A:\WFW31" and press <Enter>.

    8) Press <Enter> to select "ISA Plug & Play Ethernet Driver".

    9) Click "Setup..." to popup the setup window.

   10) If the adapter is in Jumperless mode , modify the IO Base and Interrupt
       to match the adapter's hardware setting. If the adapter is in PNP mode,
       just leave the values unchanged.

   11) Click "Advanced..." if you want to modify the advanced features. Please
       refer to the next section for the description of the keywords.

   12) Close each windows and restart the computer.


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

    There are two ways to modify the configuration:
    a) Follow step 10/11 in the previous section.
    b) Modify PROTOCOL.INI in your WFW31 directory directly.

    File Name:          PROTOCOL.INI
    ----------
    Sample of configuration file:
    -----------------------------

        ...
        [PNPND]
        drivername=pnpnd$
        IOBASE=0x300
        INTERRUPT=5
        EARLYRECEIVE=0
        EARLYTRANSMIT=0
        FULLDUPLEX=0
        PNPID=0
        [PNPND]
        drivername=pnpnd2$
        IOBASE=0x320
        INTERRUPT=9
        EARLYRECEIVE=0
        EARLYTRANSMIT=0
        FULLDUPLEX=0
        PNPID=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  keyword  or  let the value  to be
                                    zero (i.e. PNPID = 0) if  there is only
                                    one adapter in your system.

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

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

        FULLDUPLEX                  This  keyword is  used  to  enable full
                                    duplex mode.


  NOTE:
  -----
    Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
      If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to
      use the keyword, PNPID, to let driver locate the right adapter.And you
      must  set  DriverName to be  PNPND$  and  PNPND2$  for  two  different
      adapters. You  can use the diagnostic program (A:\SETUP.EXE) under DOS
      prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.
