Introduction:
=============
This document shows you how to install DECnet PathWorks for NDIS driver
and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords.
Installation driver : ( Location of driver : A:\NDIS2 )
=====================
1. Insert the DEC PATHWORKS Client Setup diskette #1 into your floppy
drive (either A: or B:).
2. Type the prompt,type the following and press <Enter> to bring up the
startup menu:
A:\>NETSETUP <Enter>
3. You'll be asked if your keyboard type is LK250. Select " NO " If you
are using an LK250 keyboard choose "YES."
4. Next, you'll be prompted to choose a transport option . Select the
"DECNET transport option" and press <Enter> to proceed.
5. Your system will prompt you to insert the DNET TRNSPRT diskette#1
into your floppy drive. Follow screen instructions.
6. Then you'll be prompted to specify a destination drive.Type C: or D:
7. When asked if you are creating an initial workstation diskette,
select "NO."
8. Type in the node name and address ( i.e., node number ) in the
corresponding field. Then press <Enter>.
9. Type in the server node name and address (i.e., node number) in the
corresponding field. Then press <Enter>.
10.When asked to "Select the network adapter type:" choose Ethernet.
11.When prompted to "Select the network adapter:" choose "Other NDIS."
12.Indicate the subdirectory location of your NDIS driver in the ISA PnP
Ethernet Adapter Driver Diskette. For example, type the following:
A:\NDIS2\PNPND.DOS
13.When prompted,indicate the subdirectory location of the PROTOCOL.INI
file in the ISA PnP Driver Diskette. For example, type the following:
A:\NDIS2\PNPND.DOS
14.Select "WRITE KEY DISK" to save the settings that you have chosen.
When prompted to copy the PNPND.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI files , insert
the ISA PnP driver program diskette into drive into your floppy drive.
15.Follow screen instructions to complete the installation.
16.From the Configuration screen, press F10 to exit to C:\.
17.Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file from the DECNET subdirectory .Remove the
semicolon (;) from the statement " NI_IRQ = 5 " under the [DATALINK]
section.
18.Make sure that the IRQ value in the new [PNPND.DOS] section,matches
the NI_IRQ value in the [DATALINK] statement.

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.
