Banyan VINES ------------ NDC 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Card's NDIS 2.01 driver may be configured to run in the Banyan VINES environment (for client-based systems only). Follow the steps listed below: 1 On your local hard drive to create a subdirectory. >>> For example C:\BANYAN Copy the installation relative files to this subdirectory. Note: ----- The relative files are list as "File required" session of this text file. 2 Create the "PROTOCOL.INI", "CONFIG.SYS", and "AUTOEXEC.BAT" files (sample files are shown below). * Modify the "PROTOCOL.INI" file to reflect the changes necessary for the appropriate LAN card section. * Modify the "AUTOEXEC.BAT" and "CONFIG.SYS" files to reflect changes. 3 Run the VINES PCCONFIG Utility to configure the NDIS driver 4 Reboot the machine and run the "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file. 5 Run BAN. The installation of the NDIS 2.01 driver for Banyan VINES is now complete.

This file is located in different directories, depending on the networking operating system used. The PROTOCOL.INI file stores configuration and binding information. It consists of a series of named sections, where the section name is in fact the module name from a module characteristics table. A set of configuration settings for the module in format is as follows. Keyword = value where value - appropriate value for corresponding Keyword. The following sections describe the PROTOCOL.INI settings used for the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Driver, their default values, the range of values that can be given and value units. (I) Required Keyword DRIVERNAME -- Specifies the network device driver. DRIVERNAME=NE100TX$ units:[text] default:[NE100TX$] (II) Optional Keywords in the NE100TX section: SIA_MODE -- Defines the Serial Interface connection. * AUTOSENSE : it executes an algorithm which detects the serial interface connection type during the driver's initialization. The PCI Ethernet Adapter support dynamic autosense and the detection algorithm is execute also during run time. The PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter also executes an algorithm which detects the data rate used 10Mb or 100Mb. * TP_FULL_DUPLEX specifies Full Duplex operation via the Twisted Pair transceiver. The adapter should be connected to another Ethernet station with a cable suitable for Full Duplex mode. * TP specifies normal operation via the Twisted Pair transceiver. (Suitable for standard ethernet) For PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter the default is AUTOSENSE. DATA_RATE -- Defines the data rate at which the LAN controller will operate. * MB10 specifies a data rate of 10Mb (Suitable for standard ethernet) * MB100 specifies a data rate of 100Mb (suitable for fast ethernet). The keyword is valid only if the physical 100Mb port is connected to the net. For PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter the default is MB100. NOTE: ----- Driver selected connection is a combination of DATA_RATE selection and SIA_MODE selection(ether TP or TP_FULL_DUPLEX). -------------------------------------[END]--------------------------------------
