   DOS LAN Service

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This file describes the procedure to install NDIS driver on DOS
   LAN service for AcerLAN ALN-315  10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet Adapter

   Location of Driver:  \DOSNDIS\ALN315.DOS  (for DOS LAN Service)


   Installing driver procedure on DOS LAN Service :
   --------------------------------------------------
      Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
      DOS LAN Services is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter
      should also be properly installed in your client PC.

      1. Copy ALN315.DOS from your Driver diskette (A:\DOSNDIS) to DOS
         LAN Services subdirectory C:\NET .

      2. Under DOS LAN Service subdirectory C:\NET, run INSTALL

      3. The screen display some description. If it's correct, move
         highlight to "The listed options are correct" item ,then press
         ENTER.

      4. Move highlight to "Network Card", then press ENTER.

      5. Select "Change driver for network card." item, then press ENTER.

      6. Select "Network card not shown in list below..", then press ENTER.

      7. Insert the AcerLAN ALN-315 driver diskette in floppy A, and
         specify the pathname A:\DOSNDIS, then press ENTER.

      8. AcerLAN ALN-315 driver is now installed on your computer, reboot
         your computer.

      NOTES:
      ------
          Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:

            Network Adapter Slot ID :
                This parameter specifies which network adapter is used by the
                driver. If you have only one AcerLAN ALN-315  10/100 Base-TX
                Fast Ethernet Adapter in your machine, this parameter is
                unnecessary!!  For two or more 32-bit PCI LAN cards, this
                parameters is required and cannot be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI.
                The slot ID. for the first LAN card is 16, for the second is
                17, and 18 for the  third, etc.  Default value is 16.
                Slot = 16
                   ;; {16-26}

            Physical Medium Type :
                This parameter specifies the physical media that the LAN card
                is attached.  The keyword AUTODETECT means driver will auto
                sense the physical media during card initialization.  TP means
                twisted-pair (RJ-45 or 10BaseT). If you want to enable full
                duplex function of the LAN card, you have to choose
                TP_FULL_DUPLEX as the medium type. The default value is
                AUTODETECT.
                SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
               ; {SIA_Mode = TP, TP_FULL_DUPLEX, AUTODETECT}

            Data Transmittion Rate :
                This parameter specifies the line speed for AcerLAN ALN-315
                10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet Adapter card.  This adapter
                supports two transmittion rates, 10Mbps & 100Mbps. The keywords
                for different transmittion rates are  MB10 and MB100,respectively.
                This parameters is meaningless for 10M PCI Ethernet card and
                cannot be set  if Sia_Mode is AUTODETECT.
                The default value is MB100.
                DATA_RATE = MB100
                        ;; {MB10, MB100}

            Transmit FIFO Threshold Level :
                This parameter specifies the FIFO threshold level during packet
                transmittion.  The AcerLAN ALN-315  10/100 Base-TX Fast
                Ethernet Adapter support 4 type of threshold levels: 128, 256,
                512, 1024 bytes.  If you do not enable the early transmit
                function, set it to FP(Full Packet) mode.  The threshold levels
                for 10M series adapters include 72, 96, 128, 160 bytes. The
                keywords of TX_Threshold are LW128(72bytes), LW256(96 bytes),
                LW512(128 bytes), LW1024(160 bytes) and FP(10M PCI card dose
                not support this mode).  The default value is LW1024.
                TX_THRESHOLD = LW1024
                        ;;   { LW128,LW256,LW512,LW1024}
