NDC ND5300 Plug and Play Ethernet Adapter
NDIS Driver for Wollongong Pathway Access 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

A. NDIS driver Installation Procedure

1)   Insert your copy of Pathway Drivers into drive A.
     Enter as follows:

          C:\>A:

2)   To copy the software onto the system, type:

          A:\>PWINSTAL C:

     where C: is the disk drive ( you could also use D:, E:, and so
     on ) that you intend to use for the installation of your
     Pathway software. The PWINSTAL program automatically installs
     the driver software in a new directory named, \PATHWAY on the
     drive you specified.

     The diskette is finished copying when you receive the
     following message: "The Pathway Drivers have been copied
     successfully.  Refer to documentation to complete driver
     installation."

3)   Insert "NDC Setup diskette" into A: and copy the NDIS drivers
     to the directory where you installed the Pathway software :

          A:\> Copy A:\NDIS2\ND5300.DOS C:\PATHWAY

4)   Edit the C:\CONFIG.SYS file, containing the following three
     entries :

          DEVICE=C:\PATHWAY\PWTCP.SYS
          DEVICE=C:\PATHWAY\PROTMAN.EXE/I:C:\PATHWAY
          DEVICE=C:\PATHWAY\ND5300.DOS

5)   Use any text editor to generate a PROTOCOL.INI file in
     C:\PATHWAY, which must have the following section :

          [ND5300_NIF]
               DriverName = ND5300$

6)   The startup batch file - AUTOEXEC.BAT should have the
     following entries, in the order shown :

          path=c:\pathway
          ndis [-d:#]
          pwbind

     where the -d option is used when accessing a specific module
     number within PROTOCOL.INI.  In your PROTOCOL.INI file, a line
     enclosed by square brackets designates the beginning of a new
     module.  Each module is referred to by a hexadecimal number.
     The first module is module number one.  The second module is
     module two, and so on.

B. Pathway Kernel Installation Procedure

1)   Insert the Pathway Kernel diskette in drive A.
     Enter as follows :

          C:\>A:

2)   To copy the software onto the system, enter :

          A:\> pwinstal C:

     where C: is the disk drive ( you could also use D:, E:, and so
     on ) that you intend to use for the installation of your
     Pathway software. The PWINSTAL program automatically installs
     the driver software in a new directory named, \PATHWAY on the
     drive you specified.

     The copying is complete when you see the following message :
     "Pathway Kernel files have been copied successfully".
     Reboot and refer to the documentation to complete kernel
     installation."

3)   Remove the diskette from drive A: and reboot your PC by
     pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> at the same time.

4)   Change current directory to PATHWAY.

5)   Run the CUSTOM program in order to set or change the following
     settings:

     *    The Internet address
     *    The subnet bits (if your network includes subnetworks)
     *    The gateway address (if you are communicating with hosts
          outside your local network)

6)   Remove the diskette from drive A: and reboot your PC by
     pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> at the same time.

7)   Enter the following command to load the Kernel :

          C:\PATHWAY> PWTCP

8)   Test your PC Using PING program

          C:\PATHWAY> PING hostname

     where hostname is the official name, alias, or Internet
     address of a host on your network that you expect to able to
     communicate with.
