Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
------------------------------------

Support is provided for the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups (version 3.1)
environment.

Note:
-----

   (1) The format and procedure to install the NDIS drivers for Windows for
       Workgroups 3.1 is different from that of Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

   (2) The directory structure provided on the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet
       Adapter's driver diskette has been setup for automatic OEM installation.
       The OEM Installation section  of this  manual provides  more details
       regarding OEM driver installation.Also,more information can be found.

Follow the steps listed below:

  1     Insert the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette in
        the floppy drive.

  2     From the "Main" group in Windows, select the "Control Panel" icon.

  3     In the "Network Settings" dialog box, select the "Adapters" button.
        The "Network Adapters" dialog box should appear.

  4     Choose the "Add" button to install the NDIS driver from the 10/100 Auto
        PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter's driver diskette.

  5     In the list of network adapters, select the "Unlisted or Updated Network
        Adapter". Then enter the path to load the NDIS 2.01 driver (e.g.,"A:\").

  6     Select the "NDC 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter" and choose "OK".

  7     Choose the "OK" button in the "NDC 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet
        Adapter" dialog box to accept the default setting for the Adapter.

  8     In the "Network Adapters" dialog box, choose the "Close" button. Then
        choose the "OK" button in the "Network Settings" dialog box.

  9     Follow the remaining Window instructions. Restart the computer to have
        the driver take effect.

        The installation of the NDIS 2.01 driver for Windows for Workgroups
        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).
