Introduction:
=============
This document shows you how to install Banyan VINES for NDIS driver and
how use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords.
Banyan VINES Installation ( Location of driver : A:\NDIS2 )
=============================
* Installation on the First DOS Workstation
1) Create a DOS boot diskette with DOS 3.1 or later.
2) Copy all files from \NDIS of Master Disk to the boot diskette.
3) Copy PNPND.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI to the boot diskette.
4) Edit PROTOCOL.INI as follows:
[protocol manager]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[VINES_XIF]
drivername=NETBEUI$
bindings=PNPND_NIF
[PNPND_NIF]
drivername=PNPND$
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=\RCPI.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 Ethernet" 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 configure
your PC network, if necessary.
7) Shutdown 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 ,
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 Driver 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".
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: For PnP mode, you don't have to define INT and PORT number.
