1. Introduction:
These Ethernet NDIS drivers conform to 3Com/Microsoft Network Driver In-
terface Specification v2.0.1 (Final 1990-10-8). It supports many network
applications, such as Microsoft LAN Manager for DOS, SUN PC-NFS, Banyan
VINES for DOS workstations, Sitka 10NET and Wollongong Pathway Access.
2. Contents of the Subdirectory:
PNPND.DOS The NDIS driver for DOS.
PNPND.OS2 The NDIS driver for OS/2.
PROTOCOL.INI The prototype of the final PROTOCOL.INI which stores
the configuration and binding information for all
protocols and MAC modules in the system. This is for
use of the Protocol Manager during initialization.
This file will be bound or modified during the instal-
lation.
3. Installation
First, install your AT-2000PNP Ethernet Adapter on your PC system follow-
ing the procedure described in your installation manual. Then skip to the
related section for your specific network application to continue the
NDIS driver installation.
3.1 SUN PC-NFS Installation
* Installation on a DOS Workstation
1) If PC-NFS has not been installed yet, follow the instructions in
the PC-NFS installation manual to install PC-NFS.
Or, change the current directory to C:\NFS and run NFSCONF. Then
choose "Configure an Ethernet network connection" when it appears
during installation.
2) Choose "NDIS" when you are asked to select the network driver used
for PC-NFS.
3) When the installation is completed, choose "Exit" to return to
DOS.
4) Copy PNPND.DOS to the \LANMAN directory of your hard disk.
5) Edit CONFIG.SYS to add the following line:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PNPND.DOS
between
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.SYS
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\NFS-NDIS.SYS.
6) Edit C:\LANMAN\PROTOCOL.NFS as follows.
- If the Operating Mode in DIAG has been set as Plug & Play
mode, you should:
a) Replace "your-mac-module" with "PNPND_NIF"in the file. There
are two "your-mac-module" to be changed.
b) Replace "YOURMAC$" with "PNPND$".
c) Replace the line "option 1 = value 1 etc" with the desired
option or delete it.
The following is an example of the modified PROTOCOL.NFS:
[protocol manager]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[PNPND_NIF]
drivername=PNPND$
[NFS-NDIS]
drivername=NFSLINK$
bindings=PNPND_NIF
- If the Operating Mode in DIAG has been set as Jumperless mode,
you should:
a) Replace "your-mac-module" with "PNPND_NIF"in the file. Note
that there are two "your-mac-module" to be changed.
b) Replace "YOURMAC$" with "PNPND$".
c) Replace the line "option 1 = value 1 etc" with the desired
option or delete it.
[protocol manager]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[PNPND_NIF]
drivername=PNPND$
IOBASE=0x300
INTERRUPT=3
[NFS-NDIS]
drivername=NFSLINK$
bindings=PNPND_NIF
Note: You should change the INTERRUPT and IOBASE according
to the hardware settings.
7) Rename "PROTOCOL.NFS" to "PROTOCOL.INI".
8) Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT to add the line "C:\LANMAN\NETBIND" before
"PRT *".
9) Reboot the PC system.
3.2 Banyan VINES Installation
* Installation on the First DOS Workstation
1) Create a DOS boot diskette with DOS 3.1 or later.
2) Copy all files from \NDIS2 of Master Disk to the boot diskette.
3) Copy PNPND.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI to the boot diskette.
4) Edit PROTOCOL.INI as follows:
- If the Operating Mode in DIAG has been set as Plug & Play
mode, you should use any text editor to edit the following lines
in your PROTOCOL.INI:
[protocol manager]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[VINES_XIF]
drivername=NETBEUI$
bindings=PNPND_NIF
[PNPND_NIF]
drivername=PNPND$
- If the Operating Mode in DIAG has been set as Jumperless mode,
you should use any text editor to edit the following lines in
your PROTOCOL.INI:
[protocol manager]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[PNPND_NIF]
drivername=PNPND$
IOBASE=0x300
INTERRUPT=3
[NFS-NDIS]
drivername=NFSLINK$
bindings=PNPND_NIF
Note: You should change the INTERRUPT and IOBASE according
to the hardware settings.
5) At the DOS prompt, type "PCCONFIG"; the configuration window is
displayed. Choose "Network Card Settings", then choose "NDIS
Ethernet", and enter the following parameters:
Interrupt Level: [interrupt_number]
PROTOCOL.INI bindings = PNPND_NIF
6) From the Configuration Main Window, choose "Login Environment
Settings", then choose "Select Default Communication Driver"
and "NDIS Ethernet". Save the changes and exit to DOS.
7) Edit CONFIG.SYS to add the following two lines:
DEVICE=\PROTMAN.DOS /I=A:\ (if A drive is used)
DEVICE=\PNPND.DOS
8) Reboot the PC system.
* Installation on Additional DOS Workstations
1) Create a DOS boot diskette with DOS 3.1 or later.
2) From an existing workstation, login to the server. With the new
boot diskette in the floppy drive, run PCCOPY. Select "NDIS Ether-
net" and enter the following parameters:
Interrupt Level: [interrupt_number]
PROTOCOL.INI bindings = PNPND_NIF
This will copy the VINES software to your boot diskette.
3) Insert the boot diskette to any floppy drive of the working DOS
workstation, repeat step 3 to 8 in "Installing on the First DOS
Workstation".
* Installation on the First OS/2 Workstation
1) Insert the "Master Disk OS/2" diskette to any floppy drive and
run VCLIENT.
2) Choose "Install directory" (e.g., C:\VINES) and "NDIS Driver
Ethernet' as the driver.
3) Copy PNPND.OS2 and PROTOCOL.INI from the Ethernet Driver Disk
to \VINES\DRIVERS\BN_NDIS\ND_ETH on your system.
4) Edit CONFIG.SYS to change the following line:
DEVICE=C:\VINES\DRIVERS\BN_NDIS\ND_ETH\<filename>
to
DEVICE=C:\VINES\DRIVERS\BN_NDIS\ND_ETH\PNPND.OS2
5) Modify PROTOCOL.INI under \VINES\DRIVERS\BN_NDIS\ND_ETH, as
shown below.
[protocol manager]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[VINES_XIF]
drivername=NETBEUI$
bindings=PNPND_NIF
[PNPND_NIF]
drivername=PNPND$
6) Change the current directory to VINES and run PCCONFIG to confi-
gure your PC network, if necessary.
7) Shut down OS/2 system and reboot.
8) At the OS/2 prompt, change the directory to VINES and run BAN.
* Installation on Additional OS/2 Workstations
Step 1: Setup "Installation Diskette"
1) From an existing workstation, login to the server.
2) Insert a formatted 2HD diskette to any floppy drive. Run VCLIENT
and select "Build an Install Diskette" item from the menu. Then,
fill in VINES Directory Selection and FD Driver (e.g. C:\VINES
and A:) to start the process.
3) Choose "NDIS Ethernet" when you are asked to choose a driver.
4) At the OS/2 prompt, change the drive letter to the drive where
the "Installation Diskette" is located (e.g., A:), and run
PCCONFIG to configure your PC network.
Step 2 : Install Drivers on the OS/2 Workstation
5) Replace "Master Disk OS/2" diskette with the Install Diskette
built in step 2; follow the procedure described in "Installation
on the First OS/2 Workstation" to install.
Interrupt Level: [interrupt_number]
PROTOCOL.INI bindings = PNPND_NIF
This will copy the VINES software to your boot diskette.
6) Insert the boot diskette to any floppy drive of the working DOS
workstation, repeat step 3 to 8 in "Installation on the First
OS/2 Workstation".
3.3 Sitka 10NET Installation
1) While installing 10NET, choose "None of the above" when you are
asked to select the type of your LAN card.
2) In DOS, copy PNPND.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI to the directory in which
10Net is located.
3) Edit CONFIG.SYS to add the following lines to the end of file:
DEVICE=C:\10NET\10PROT.DOS /I:C:\10NET
DEVICE=C:\10NET\10BEUI.DOS
DEVICE=C:\10NET\PNPND.DOS
4) Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT to add the following line to the beginning of
the file:
C:\10NET\10BIND
5) Edit C:\10NET\PROTOCOL.INI as follows.
- If the Operating Mode in DIAG has been set as Plug & Play
mode, you should use any text editor to edit the following lines
in your PROTOCOL.INI:

drivername="10BEUI$"
sessions=10
packets=40
stackcount=6
bindings=PNPND_NIF
[PNPND_NIF]
