{         LANTASTIC SOURCE ROUTING SUPPORT WITH IBM TOKEN-RING NETWORKS
{       ================================================================

   TOKROUTE.EXE provides source routing support for the LANtastic Network
   Operating System on IBM Token-Ring Networks.  It allows LANtastic
   AILANBIO packets to be passed on by any source routing bridge.  Using
   TOKROUTE.EXE, you can utilize bridges that connect Token-Ring to
   Ethernet, Token-Ring to Token-Ring, Token-Ring to T1, etc.  This allows
   you to:

            1.  Increase the number of LANtastic stations.
            2.  Bridge two separate LANs to create a WAN,(Wide Area
                Network), thereby increasing both networks' resources.
            3.  Divide a large LAN into smaller, more manageable
                sub-networks.
            4.  Remove unnecessary network traffic and increase network
                security by using logical frame filtering.

{   Note:  Only those stations containing Token-Ring adapters that require
{   source routing support need to load TOKROUTE.EXE.  Token-Ring stations
{   that do not need to cross a bridge are not required to load
{   TOKROUTE.EXE.  If you need to connect Ethernet stations to Token-Ring
{   stations, see the section titled "Connecting Token-Ring and
{   Ethernet Stations."


{             Installing LANtastic on an IBM Token-Ring Network
{             =================================================

   To use a Token-Ring adapter with an NDIS driver in your LANtastic
   network:

   1. Install the Token-Ring adapter in your PC as instructed in your
      adapter documentation.

   2. Run the LANtastic INSTALL program as instructed in your LANtastic
      manuals.  In the "Adapter Driver" field, select "Any Adapter."

   3. Copy your protocol manager and NDIS MAC (Media Access Control) driver
      to the directory where you installed the LANtastic software (usually
      C:\LANTASTI).  Refer to your adapter documentation for the names of
      these programs.

   4. Edit your CONFIG.SYS to include the commands loading the protocol
      manager and NDIS MAC driver.  The sample CONFIG.SYS below loads the
      protocol manager, PROTMAN.DOS and the NDIS MAC driver, IBMTOK.DOS for
      an IBM Token-Ring adapter:

             FILES=50
             BUFFERS=32
             LASTDRIVE=Z
             FCBS=16,8
             DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
             DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\IBMTOK.DOS

   5. Edit your STARTNET.BAT file and delete the commands that run the
      adapter's low-level device driver.  Replace it with the commands that
      run the AI-NDIS programs.  Place these commands immediately before
      the AILANBIO command.  For example the commands:

             C:\LANTASTI\NEX000
             C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
             C:\LANTASTI\REDIR DANIKA
             C:\LANTASTI\SERVER

      would be changed to:

             C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=IBMTOK_NIF
             C:\LANTASTI\TOKROUTE VERBOSE
             C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
             C:\LANTASTI\REDIR DANIKA
             C:\LANTASTI\SERVER

{   NOTE:  The above examples use command line switches that are described
{          later in the section of this On-line Manual titled "AINDIS and
{          TOKROUTE Command Line Switches."

     You may include other options in the PROTOCOL.INI file discussed
     in the next step.

   6. In your LANTASTI directory, create a PROTOCOL.INI file to store the
      settings for the protocol manager and the NDIS driver loaded in the
      CONFIG.SYS.  For example:

             SAMPLE PROTOCOL.INI

             [PROTMAN]
             DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
             DYNAMIC = YES

             [IBMTOK_NIF]
             DRIVERNAME = IBMTOK$

     Refer to your NDIS driver documentation for information on the valid
     protocol manager and MAC driver parameters.  Refer to your LANtastic
     manuals for information on the valid AI-NDIS and AILANBIO optional
     parameters.  Additional sample CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT/STARTNET.BAT
     and PROTOCOL.INI files appear in the section of this On-line Manual
     titled "Sample CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and PROTOCOL.INI Files."
     Refer to your LANtastic manuals for information on using LANtastic.

   Software installation is now complete.  Refer to the appropriate
   sections of this On-line Manual for information on using multiple
   adapters and for multiple protocol support (i.e., running LANtastic and
   another network operating system on the same adapter).

   
{                Connecting Token-Ring and Ethernet Stations
{              ===============================================

   You can connect an existing LANtastic Ethernet network to a LANtastic
   Token-Ring network via a Token-Ring to Ethernet source routing bridge
   such as the IBM 8209 LAN Bridge.  Configure the Token-Ring stations as
   described in the section above.  Both the Token-Ring and Ethernet
   station require the use of AILANBIO.EXE V4.05 or higher provided on this
   disk.  The Ethernet stations require the use of the NO_MULTICAST switch.
   Below is a sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

     AUTOEXEC.BAT

        C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=AEXNDIS_NIF VERBOSE
        C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO NO_MULTICAST VERBOSE
        C:\LANTASTI\REDIR ALLEN
        C:\LANTASTI\SERVER
