Introduction:
-------------
   This document describes the procedure to install NDIS driver on DOS
   LAN Services for 10/100 Auto PCI Fas Ethernet Adapter.

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


   Installing driver procedure on DOS LAN Requester :
   --------------------------------------------------
      Before you start with the installation  process,  make sure that
      DOS LAN Services is properly installed.  Similarly, your adapter
      should also be properly installed in your client PC.

      1. Copy ne100tx.DOS from your Driver diskette (A:\NDIS.DOS\) to DOS
         LAN Services subdirectory C:\NET .

      2. Under DOS LAN Requester subdirectory C:\NET, run INSTALL

      3. The  screen  display  some description. If it's correct, move
         highlight to "The listed options are correct" item ,then press
         ENTER.

      4. Move highlight to "Network Card", then press ENTER.

      5. Select "Change driver for network card." item, then press ENTER.

      6. Select "Network card not shown in list below..", then press ENTER.

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

      8. 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver is now installed on
         your computer, reboot your computer.



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).
