Banyan Vines Installation Notes
-------------------------------
DOS must be installed on the
target workstation C: drive, or you must have a bootable
DOS floppy.
NOTE: Although the driver name is FEM556N2.DOS, the
internal driver name (used in PROTOCOL.INI) is
FEM556$.
1. Use the DOS MD command to create a subdirectory
called \VINES.
2. Copy the contents of the VINES LAN S/W (DOS)
Install diskette into the \VINES subdirectory.
3. Copy the contents of the NDIS subdirectory on
the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) 2 of 2 diskette into the
\VINES subdirectory.
4. Copy the PROTOCOL.INI fragment from the
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\FEM556N2
subdirectory on Installation Disk 2 to the
\VINES subdirectory.
5. Copy FMENABLE.EXE and FEM556N2.DOS from the
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\FEM556N2
directory of the Installation Disk 2 to the \Vines
subdirectory.
6. Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file to read as follows:
[PROTOCOL MANAGER]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
[VINES_XIF]
DRIVERNAME = NDISBAN$
BINDINGS = FEM556
[FEM556]
DRIVERNAME = FEM556$
7. Type C:\VINES\FMENABLE and press ENTER. This will
report the IRQ which will be used in step 11.
Write this down. Type "C:\VINES\FMENABLE /U" and
press ENTER. This will unload FMENABLE from memory.
8. Run the PCCONFIG.EXE program located in the
\VINES subdirectory.
9. Select option 1 "Network Card Settings".
10. Select the "NDIS Ethernet" option.
11. The NDIS workstation screen appears. Enter the
IRQ that you selected for the Lan + MODEM
adapter. Select the IRQ using the Configuration
and Diagnostic Program.
12. Press F10 twice to return to the first menu.
Select option 2, "Login Environment Settings".
In the next screen select option 1, "Default
Communications Driver". In the next screen
scroll down to NDIS Ethernet and click "Enter".
Exit PCCONFIG by pressing F10 at each stage to
save the new configuration.
13. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the following
lines, substituting A: for C: for a floppy
disk installation.
DEVICE = C:\VINES\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\VINES
DEVICE = C:\VINES\FMENABLE.EXE
DEVICE = C:\VINES\FEM556N2.DOS
14. Add the following line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
cd \VINES
BAN
cd \
BAN loads the NDISBAN drivers and reads the PCCONFIG.DB
file to invoke changes made during the PCCONFIG stage.
=========================================================
SYSTEM.INI information
=======================
In order for the modem to function correctly
in MS Windows, add the following commands to your
Window's SYSTEM.INI file under the [386Enh] category:
(Make sure they are not already there.)
[386Enh]
:
:
COM1Base=3F8
COM1Irq=4
COM2Base=2F8
COM2Irq=3
COM3Base=3E8
COM3Irq=4
COM4Base=2E8

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.
