NDC ND5300 Plug and Play Ethernet Adapter
Packet Driver for NCSA PC/TCP Installation
=================================================

PRE-INSTALLATION

     You should setup and diagnose the Instant-Link adapter(s) by
     applying NDCONF3 before you install and/or run the NOS or
     network applications.


INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1)   Make sure you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet for the
     PC.  You need version 2.3 or later to support the packet
     driver interface.

2)   Install the NCSA software onto your system.  Please refer to
     the NCSA documentation for detailed instructions.

3)   Load the ND5300 Packet Driver "ND5300PK.COM" in the \PCTCP
     directory of "NDC Setup diskette":

     ND5300 Packet Driver Basic Syntax:

          ND5300PK <packet_int_no>

     where:

     <packet_int_no>  This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ)
                      where you'll load the packet driver.  It must
                      be in the range 0x60 to 0x80.

                      The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at
                      interrupt 0x61 (so don't load the packet
                      driver there!)

     The following is an example of how to load the ND5300 packet
     driver using software interrupt vector 0x60 for the ND5300
     Ethernet adapter.

          ND5300PK 0x60

4)   At this point you are ready to run NCSA applications (e.g.,
     'ftp', 'telnet', etc.).
