Banyan 5.53 NDIS Workstation
Banyan NDIS Workstation installation notes for Intel's
TokenExpress(TM) PRO adapter
======================================================
Location of Driver: disk 2 \NDIS\TPRO.DOS
For sample configuration files, see the end of this document.
General Installation
--------------------
1. The TokenExpress PRO adapter uses a NDIS 2.0.1 driver to
connect to a Banyan server. If you already have a NDIS client
disk prepared, skip to step 6.
2. To generate a NDIS client disk, run PCCOPY which is located on
the Z drive of the Banyan server.
3. Choose PC Configuration Software and/or LAN driver, and select
NDIS Token Ring.
4. Choose the appropriate DOS redirector (example: REDIRALL for
all versions of DOS).
5. Specify the directory where you want the client software copied to.
6. On the client you wish to setup, copy the NDIS client software
(from step 5) to a directory on the hard drive. Run Banyan's
PCCONFIG program. Select Network Card Settings and page down to
select the NDIS Token Ring option. Specify the Interrupt (as set
in TokenSet) and the PROTOCOL.INI Bindings parameter: TPRO_NIF.
7. Select Login Environment Settings, then Select Default
Communications Driver. Page down to the NDIS Token Ring option
and select it.
8. Save settings before exiting PCCONFIG.
9. Copy the files PROTOCOL.INI and TPRO.DOS that are located in
the NDIS subdirectory of the TokenExpress PRO adapter disk to
the BAN subdirectory (as per the example) or other directory
where Banyan client files are. If the IOADDRESS of the adapter
is set to something other than 300, edit the PROTOCOL.INI file
to the appropriate I/O address.
10. Add the lines to your CONFIG.SYS file as indicated above.
11. Reboot and run BAN to attach to the Banyan server.
Hints and tips
--------------
Error Message with PRO0025E
This type of message may occur when the driver attempts to bind
to the protocol manager. It generally indicates that there is
a syntax or other error in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Review the
file carefully for errors. Also, verify the parameters entered
in PCCONFIG. For additional information, reference NDISBAN.DOC
which is part of the NDIS Banyan client software.
Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file
DRIVERNAME: This is the one required parameter. See
example at top of this document for syntax.
IOADDRESS: This is the base I/O address for the PRO
adapter. If you are using multiple boards in one machine,
make sure you specify the correct IOADDRESS for each board.
INTERRUPT: This is the system interrupt that the adapter
uses.
Sample configuration files
