DEC PATHWORKS versions 5.x or 6.x NDIS 2.0 Driver These instructions are based on PATHWORKS documentation for configuration of a PC as a client workstation, using a system service already installed on a LAN Manager server and the LAN Manager SETUP diskette. 1. Run the Accton Installation Program from Installation Disk. 2. Choose DEC PATHWORKS from the Select Network Operating System screen. 3. Follow the prompts to complete the Accton segment of the installation. Note the IRQ value set by the Accton Installation Program for use in steps 5 and 23 below. 4. Check the README file on your PATHWORKS SETUP disk for requirements such as lastdrive, setver, etc. You will need 500K of free conventional memory and about 1MB of extended memory to run PATHWORKS SETUP. Be sure you have a lastdrive statement in your CONFIG.SYS file (lastdrive=g will work in most cases). 5. Use a text editor to modify the file A:\NDIS\PI.TPL on the PATHWORKS SETUP disk, as follows (A:\NDIS is a hidden directory. You can access it by typing CD A:\NDIS): Change the line ;NI_IRQ = [IRQ VALUE GIVEN BY ACCTON INSTALLATION PROGRAM] to read NI_IRQ = [IRQ VALUE GIVEN BY ACCTON INSTALLATION PROGRAM] The NI_IRQ value must be the same as the interrupt value you will use for the Accton adapter. 6. Run the SETUP program from the PATHWORKS SETUP disk for LAN Manager. 7. Choose Configure PC. 8. Choose Network. 9. Select DECnet as transport. 10. When prompted to choose a network adapter, choose "Other". 11. Specify "Accton" as the Adapter Name. 12. When prompted for driver information, use the following: a. for PATHWORKS 5.0: NDIS DRIVER PATH: A:\ NDIS DRIVER FILE: EN2226.EXE NDIS DRIVER NAME: ACCTON$ OTHER FILE: A:\OPEN16.EXE b. for PATHWORKS 5.1: DRIVER FILE: A:\EN2226.EXE PROTOCOL.INI STUB: A:\DEC\PROTOCOL.INI ADDITIONAL FILES: A:\OPEN16.EXE 13. Insert the Accton Drivers Disk when prompted. 14. Enter your node information when prompted. At this point, the SETUP program will try to connect to the DECnet server. Once connected, the SETUP program will map a logical drive to your sykstem service. 15. Highlight the logical drive mapped by the SETUP program, and press Enter to run PWSETUP. 16. Press Enter to confirm the Software Destination C:\PW. 17. Choose Express (or Custom if you have a lot of prior installation experience). 18. Select an appropriate Workstation Template, or create one. 19. Under Network Adapter Information, Choose other network adapter, with NDIS enabled, and verify the following information: NON-SUPPORTED NETWORK ADAPTER DRIVER FILE: A:\EN2226.EXE PROTOCOL.INI STUB: A:\DEC\PROTOCOL.INI ADDITIONAL FILES: A:\OPEN16.EXE 20. Insert the Accton Drivers Disk when prompted. 21. Enter node information when prompted and proceed. 22. A PROTOCOL.INI file created by SETUP will display in edit mode. 23. Remove the semicolon at the beginning of the NI_IRQ line, as follows: Change the line ;NI_IRQ = [VALUE GIVEN BY ACCTON INSTALLATION PROGRAM] to read NI_IRQ = [VALUE GIVEN BY ACCTON INSTALLATION PROGRAM] The NI_IRQ value must be the same as the interrupt value used for the Accton adapter. 24. Verify that the [2226] section has the following lines and settings: [2226] DRIVERNAME=ACCTON$ 25. Exit SETUP and reboot to start the network. (Some machines may require a cold boot at this point - power the computer down and back up again).Download Driver Pack
