MIBVIEW Installation Notes for the 
Microdyne NE10/100 ISA Adapter

Updated February 1997
********************************************************************

Introduction
============

NODEAGNT and MIBVIEW are companion programs that implement
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for the NE10/100 ISA
adapter in a DOS or Windows 3.1 environment.  NODEAGNT is a
Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program that is loaded with the
network protocol stack to provide an SNMP agent.  MIBVIEW is a
DOS/WINDOWS program that allows the Management Information Base (MIB)
information for the NE10/100 ISA adapter to be displayed.

Applicable Hardware
=======================
NODEAGNT and MIBVIEW are designed to work with the NE10/100 ISA
adapters only.  NODEAGNT will not load without an NE10/100 ISA
in the PC, and MIBVIEW will not work without NODEAGNT resident. 

Installation and Setup
======================

The following sections will set up the "user" information for SNMP,
and will allow NODEAGNT to be loaded and execute correctly.
First copy all of the files in this directory to a directory on your
PC.  The NODEAGNT and MIBVIEW programs share information, and will not
execute properly if they exist in different directories.

SNMP - TCP/IP information
-------------------------
Start MIBVIEW from the DOS command line, or through the WINDOWS
program manager.  Select CONTINUE in response to the MIBVIEW COULD NOT
EXECUTE... alert.  Enter the information in the Create/Modify
Configuration File window.  The Host ID addr, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
TCP/IP addresses are required, all other information is optional.
After all relevant information has been entered (contact your network
administrator if you have any questions), select SET to save the
information, and select OK in the confirmation window.  Select either
Reboot or Continue in the Rebooting under... window.  When Continue
is selected, exit  MIBVIEW through the close button (select the upper
left '-' button, then select close.

Network configuration files
---------------------------

Determine which Network Configuration file must be modified.  If
Novell ODI protocol is being used, the configuration file is NET.CFG.
If Microsoft NDIS protocol is being used, the configuration file is
PROTOCOL.INI.

A. NET.CFG - NETWARE configuration file

Edit NET.CFG to ensure that "FRAME ETHERNET_II" is listed under the
"LINK DRIVER NE100I" section.  Add a section "Protocol NS_SNMP" with
the single line "bind #n" where 'n' is the "logical board" number of
the "FRAME ETHERNET_II" line (The first FRAME... line is logical board
1, the second FRAME... is logical board 2 etc.).
To Enable NODEAGNT, it must be loaded after LSL and NE100I, in the
batch file that loads the network protocol stack.  Edit the network
start batch file to add a line with the full path name to NODEAGNT
(e.g. C:\MIBVIEW\NODEAGNT).

B. PROTOCOL.INI  NETBIOS configuration file

Edit PROTOCOL.INI to add the following lines

    [NODEAGNT]
    Drivername=NS_SNMP$
    BINDINGS=NE100I

If WINDOWS 3.10 is being used, add the following line to the [protman]
section (or create one should it not exist).	

    DYNAMIC=YES 

If WINDOWS 3.11 is being used, remove the 'DYNAMIC=YES' line from the
[protman] section if it exists. If there is an existing TCP/IP
protocol stack (such as PC/TCP or Chameleon NFS), the following
entries are also required in the protman section before the
DYNAMIC=YES line (WINDOWS 3.10 only).

    Drivername=PROTMAN$
    PRIORITY=NODEAGNT

If another protocol stack is already initialized as 'PRIORITY'  the
Node Agent must be given priority by adding it to the PRIORITY
command before the other protocol. To enable NODEAGNT,  it must be
loaded from your network startup batch file (normally AUTOEXEC.BAT).
For WINDOWS 3.10, NODEAGNT must be loaded before the "NETBIND"
command. For WINDOWS 3.11, NODEAGNT must be invoked after the "net
init" command, and before the "net start" command. Add a line to the
batch file with the full path name to NODEAGNT
(e.g. C:\MIBVIEW\NODEAGNT).

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
