Introduction:
=============

  This document shows you how to install DEC PathWorks NDIS driver and how
  to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords.

Installation driver :                 (  Location of driver :   A:\NDIS2  )
=====================

1. Insert the DEC PATHWORKS Client Setup diskette #1 into  your  floppy
   drive (either A: or B:).

2. Type the prompt,type the following and press <Enter> to bring up the
   startup menu:

   A:\>NETSETUP          <Enter>

3. You'll be asked if your keyboard type is LK250. Select " NO " If you
   are using an LK250 keyboard choose "YES."

4. Next, you'll be prompted to choose a transport  option .  Select the
   "DECNET transport option" and press <Enter> to proceed.

5. Your  system  will  prompt you to insert the DNET TRNSPRT diskette#1
   into your floppy drive. Follow screen instructions.

6. Then you'll be prompted to specify a destination drive.Type C: or D:

7. When  asked if  you are  creating  an initial  workstation diskette,
   select "NO."

8. Type  in  the  node  name and address ( i.e.,  node  number ) in the
   corresponding field. Then press <Enter>.

9. Type in the server node name and address (i.e., node number) in  the
   corresponding field. Then press <Enter>.

10.When asked to "Select the network adapter type:" choose Ethernet.

11.When prompted to "Select the network adapter:" choose "Other NDIS."

12.Indicate the subdirectory location of your NDIS driver in the SURECOM
   EP-312V  Adapter Driver Diskette. For example, type the following:

      A:\NDIS2\EP312.DOS

13.When prompted,indicate the subdirectory  location of the PROTOCOL.INI
   file in the EP-312V Driver Diskette. For example, type the following:

      A:\NDIS2\EP312.DOS

14.Select  "WRITE KEY DISK"  to save  the  settings that you have chosen.
   When  prompted   to copy the EP312.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI files , insert
   the EP-312V driver program diskette into drive into your floppy drive.

15.Follow screen instructions to complete the installation.

16.From the Configuration screen, press F10 to exit to C:\.

17.Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file from the DECNET  subdirectory .Remove the
   semicolon (;) from the statement " NI_IRQ = 5 " under the [DATALINK]
   section.

18.Make sure that the IRQ value in the new [EP312.DOS] section,matches
   the NI_IRQ value in the [DATALINK] statement.

 Custom Keywords:
 ----------------
        PNPID = hhhhhhhhhhhh        This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
                                    the adapter you want to drive. If there
                                    are more than one ethernet  adapters in
                                    your  system ,  you  have  to  use this
                                    keyword to let driver locate  the right
                                    adapter. However, you don't have to use
                                    this  keyword  or  let the value  to be
                                    zero (i.e. PNPID = 0) if  there is only
                                    one adapter in your system.

        EARLYTRANSMIT               This  keyword  is  used to enable turbo
                                    transmission mode for accelerating data
                                    transmission.

        EARLYRECEIVE                This keyword  is  used  to enable turbo
                                    receiption mode  for  accelerating data
                                    receiption.

        FULLDUPLEX                  This  keyword is  used  to  enable full
                                    duplex mode.

        Note: For PnP mode, you don't have to define INT and PORT number.
