Sun PC-NFS
----------

The NDC 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's NDIS 2.01 driver can also be
used with the Sun PC-NFS (version 5.x) environment.


Follow the steps listed below:

  1     Be sure PC-NFS is installed on your system and configured for an NDIS
        2.01 driver. See the PC-NFS Installation Procedure Manuals for more
        information.

  2     Run "NFSCONF". Select "Adapter" Menu. Select "Ethernet". Select "NDIS".

  3     Insert the PC-NFS QUIKNDIS diskette into the floppy drive. Change to
        the drive containing the QUIKNDIS diskette (e.g., "A:\").

  4     At the prompt type:

                QUIKNDIS

        Then press <Enter>.

  5     A message will appear asking for the current boot drive. Enter the
        current boot drive and then press <Enter>.

  6     Press "Y" to save the current "PROTOCOL.INI" file as "PROTOCOL.OLD".
        Ignore this step if this dialog box does not appear.

  7     In the "Adapter Card List" box, select the "Custom" option to install
        the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's NDIS driver for PC-NFS.

  8     Remove the QUIKNDIS disk from the floppy drive. Insert the 10/100 Auto
        PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette into the floppy drive.

  9     Follow the dialog boxes and enter the correct driver and path on the
        10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette to install the
        NDIS driver(e.g., "A:\").


  10    Enter "ne100tx" for the NIF file name and then press <Enter>.

  11    Make the appropriate changes to "CONFIG.SYS" and "AUTOEXEC.BAT".

  12    Reboot your system.

        The installation of the NDIS 2.01 driver for PC-NFS is now complete.



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).
