   This document describes the procedure to install NDIS driver on DOS
   LAN Requester for 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.


   Location of Driver:  \ne100tx.DOS  (for DOS LAN Requester)

   Installing driver procedure on DOS LAN Requester :
   --------------------------------------------------

      1. Insert the IBM LAN Support Program (LSP) Version 1.30 (or 1.31)
         Diskette into your floppy drive A: .

      2. Type A:\dxmaid  and press <Enter> .

      3. The screen will display the IBM logo. Press <Enter> twice until
         the "Environment Information" appears on screen.

      4. Responds to the screen prompts, specifying the following values
         for each field,use the <Space Bar> to toggle between choices:

                Configuration for this computer?          Yes
                Use existing configuration information?   Yes
                Do you have adapter option diskettes?     Yes
                Are you configuring for two adapters?     No
                Do you need 802.2 interface support?      Yes

                Source for LSP                           A:\
                Target for new configuration             C:\lsp

         Make  sure  that  the values given above are correct, then press
         <Enter> to store your choices.

      5. Insert the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette in
         floppy A,and specify your pathname A:\,then press ENTER.

      6. Follow  screen  instructions  to  complete  the  process. Simply
         pressing <Enter> for each screen display will select the default
         options. Press <Enter> until you reach the display prompting you
         to insert the LSP diskette.

      7. Insert the LSP diskette as prompted. Press <Enter> to acknowledge
         completion of the action.

      8.  A screen  showing  the  current  configuration  detected will be
          displayed. It should show the "NDC 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet
          Adapter" and the protocols already selected (i.e., "IBM IEEE 802.2"
          and "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS").

      9.  Press <F4>. to save the new configuration. This completes the LSP
          installation.

      10. Save the configuration and reboot your computer.

      11. Insert the DOS LAN Requester Install Diskette 1 into your floppy
          drive.

      12. Type A:\INSTALL    <Enter>

      13. The IBM logo will again appear on the screen. Press <Enter> to
          move on to the next screen.

      14. Follow  screen  instructions,  pressing  <Enter>  to move from
          screen-to-screen until you are prompted to indicate the pathname
          of the DOS LAN Requester directory (C:\DOSLAN ).

      15. Specify the pathname (C:\DOSLAN is the default) for the DOS LAN
          Requester directory . Then press <Enter> to continue.

      16. The program will ask you for the services that you require.

      17. Highlight the appropriate option. Select either "Send messages"
          or "Send, View, Edit, and Log message" option. (Normally, second
          option "Send, View, Edit and Log message" is selected).

      18. Specify the PC's ID and domain ID.

      19. Follow screen prompts to complete the installation.


PROTOCOL.INI Parameters
-----------------------

    Changing settings of the adapter is done by editing and changing the
    PROTOCOL.INI file. 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).
