Installation Guide for the Adaptec PCI DOS 
NDIS Drivers
----------------------------------------

The following is a partial list of products which use the
DOS NDIS driver:

--Microsoft LAN Manager Clients
--Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
--IBM DOS LAN Requester
--DEC PATHWORKS for DOS
--SunSelect PC-NFS
--Banyan VINES Client
--3Com 3+Open
--Various brands of TCP/IP Client Software

The DOS NDIS driver is compatible with DOS extended memory
managers and can be loaded into high memory. In addition,
the driver is compatible with Windows 3.0 and later.

Instructions for installing the NDIS 2.0 driver for
Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups,
and IBM LAN Support Program are provided in the following
sections. If you are using another NDIS product, consult the
product's documentation for instructions about installing a
network driver.

Products known to automatically build the necessary
configuration files when the DOS NDIS driver is installed
are LAN Manager 2.x, Windows for Workgroups, and IBM LAN
Support Program. If you are using another product, you may
need to manually edit PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS.

To Install the NDIS Driver
----------------------------------------

Follow the instructions below to install the NDIS driver for
LAN Manager, Windows for Workgroups, and IBM LAN Support
Program and others.

     1.   Boot your system
     
     2.   Run your network operating system's Setup program
          according to  the documentation provided with your
          network operating system  software.
     
     3.   When prompted, insert the Adaptec setup diskette
          in drive A:.
     
     4.   Enter information as required.
     
     5.   Exit your network operating system's Setup
          program.
     
     6.   Reboot your computer.

You may now use your PCI adapter.

NOTE:  If you are installing multiple Adaptec adapters in a
single machine, you must modify CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI.


To Configure the DOS NDIS Driver
----------------------------------------
To complete installation of your DOS NDIS driver, you may
need to edit your PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS files using a
text editor. Some products automatically add the appropriate
lines to these files when the DOS NDIS driver is installed.

When your Adaptec driver is installed, several lines are
added to your configuration files.

     1.   In PROTOCOL.INI:

               [EMPCI_NIF]
               DRIVERNAME=EMPCI$

     2.   In the protocol section of PROTOCOL.INI:

          BINDINGS=EMPCI_NIF

     3.   In CONFIG.SYS after the line which loads the
          protocol manager:

          DEVICE=C:\'path'\PROTMAN.DOS
          DEVICE=C:\'path'\EMPCI.DOS

Where 'path' is an optional parameter indicating the
location of the  DOS NDIS driver.

For additional information on Windows for Workgroups 3.11, 
please see WFW.TXT.

To Configure Multiple Adapters
----------------------------------------
If multiple Adaptec PCI adapters are installed in a single
computer, you must edit the PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS
files using a text editor as follows:

     1.   To PROTOCOL.INI, add a unique DRIVERNAME entry for
          each   adapter. In addition, the BOARD parameter
          must be specified for   all network adapters in
          the system with the exception of the first
          adapter. For example, if two ANA-6911 adapters
          are installed, the  fragment appears as follows:

          [EMPCI_NIF]
          DRIVERNAME=EMPCI$
          'parameter'

          [EMPCI2_NIF]
          DRIVERNAME=EMPCI2$
          BOARD=2
          'parameter'

          Where 'parameter' indicates optional driver
          parameters which are discussed in the following
          section.

     2.   In the protocol section(s) of PROTOCOL.INI, bind
          the protocol to multiple instances of the driver
          as in the following example for two ANA-6911
          drivers:

          BINDINGS=EMPCI_NIF, EMPCI2_NIF

     3.   In CONFIG.SYS after the line which loads the
          protocol manager:

          DEVICE=C:\'path'\PROTMAN.DOS
          DEVICE=C:\'path'\EMPCI.DOS

          Where 'path' is an optional parameter indicating
          the location of the  DOS NDIS driver.


PROTOCOL.INI Driver Parameters
----------------------------------------
The DOS NDIS driver supports the following parameters in the
driver section of PROTOCOL.INI. Unspecified parameters
assume their default values. Note that not all parameters
apply to all adapters.

----------------------------------------
DRIVERNAME="value"

Identifies the adapter's driver name. Each adapter installed
must have a different driver name.

          Default:  EMPCI$
          Range:    EMPCI$, EMPCI2$, EMPCI3$, etc.

----------------------------------------
MAXRECEIVES="value"

Specifies the number of receive buffers that the network
driver will allocate. Memory use is approximately 1600 bytes
per unit.

          Default:  8
          Range:    1-8

----------------------------------------
MAXTRANSMITS="value"

Specifies the number of simultaneous transmit requests that
the network driver may queue. Memory use is approximately
150 bytes per unit.

          Default:  8
          Range:    1-8

----------------------------------------
NETADDRESS="value"

Overrides the network address of the network adapter board.
This parameter should only be used if there are duplicate
addresses on the network. If this entry is specified, its
value must be a valid individual address (i.e. not a
broadcast address). The value of this parameter is a string
of 12 hexadecimal digits enclosed in quotes, for example:

NETADDRESS="00BAD0BEEF00"
----------------------------------------
Transceiver = "AUTOSENSE", "INITSENSE", "ACTIVESENSE",
              "UTP", "THICK", "THIN", "TX", "T4"

This parameter selects for the cable type in use.

          Default:  AUTOSENSE
          Range:    AUTOSENSE | INITSENSE | ACTIVESENSE |
                    UTP | THICK | THIN | TX | T4

These parameters can be used to specify how you would like 
to configure the adapter with regards to connection type.
----------------------------------------
PCIBus="value"

This parameter determines the PCI Bus of the Ethernet port
you wish to initialize. This value can be determined by
first running the EMDIAG diagnostics program.

          Default:  0
          Range:    0 - 255
----------------------------------------
PCIDevice="value"

This parameter determines the PCI Device ID of the Ethernet
port (on a specific bus, determined above) you wish to
initialize. This value can be determined by first running
the EMDIAG diagnostics program and looking at the value
reported under "Configuration Status."

          Range:    0 - 32

example:

     [EMPCI_NIF]
     DRIVERNAME=EMPCI$
     PCIBUS = 1
     PCIDEVICE = 1
