Banyan Vines 4.x.......DOS workstations

  BANYAN VINES DOS WORKSTATION INSTALLATION NOTES:
  FOR THE INTEL EtherExpress(tm) 16 FAMILY OF NETWORK ADAPTERS
  ============================================================

  This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16/TP, 16C, MCA,
  and MCA/TP.  It contains notes for installing the NDIS driver.  It
  does not explain how to configure an EtherExpress board.  For
  instructions about configuring the board, see either the Expert's
  Guide or the Complete Guide for your board.

  This document is also available on FaxBACK.  Document #6300.

  INTRODUCTION:
  -------------
  This document contains information relating to Banyan Vines releases
  4.00(0), 4.00(1), 4.00(2), and 4.10.

  Banyan Vines communicates with the network adapter through a native
  Vines driver or an NDIS driver.  This document addresses an NDIS
  configuration.  Vines versions 4.00(x) require a patch from Banyan to
  talk to an NDIS driver.  Version 4.10 has this patch included.

  For information about these patches call your Banyan Vines
  representative and ask for Banyan Vines Bulletin #200 dated 9/1/91.

  The patch for versions 4.00(0) and 4.00(1) is called NEW REV 1Y.  The
  patch for version 4.00(2) is called NEW REV patch 2NNN.

  NEW REV patch 2NNN contains four files:
  - NDISBAN.COM  The VINES NDIS driver
  - NDISBAN.DOC  An ASCII file with driver installation instructions
  - PROTMAN.DOS  Version 1.1 of the protocol manager
  - NETBIND.EXE  Starts Protman

  NOTE: The version of TCP/IP supplied with Banyan Vines 4.X does not
        support NDIS drivers.  To use TCP/IP with an NDIS driver, you
        will need to purchase a version of TCP/IP that supports NDIS. 
        We recommend you call your Banyan support representative for
        more information.

  The rest of this document is installation notes on how to install the
  EtherExpress NDIS driver with Banyan Vines 4.00(2).

  PROCEDURE FOR A VINES 4.00(2) WORKSTATION:
  ------------------------------------------

  1. You will need the I/O address and IRQ of the EtherExpress card.  Boot
     your computer from a DOS diskette.  

     EtherExpress ISA cards: Run SOFTSET and choose view configuration.

     EtherExpress MCA cards: Run the System Configuration utility and 
     choose view configuration.

  2. From a workstation already on the network, install the NDIS patch on
     your server(s).  The NDIS support files will be copied onto the
     Z:\PCINIT subdirectory of your server.

     NOTE: This patch should be on a server that is within one hop of
           the workstation.

  3. Read the NDISBAN.DOC file in the Z:\PCINIT subdirectory of your
     server.  This readme file was supplied with the NDIS patch.

  4. Follow Banyan's instructions for creating a boot disk.  (You must be
     using DOS 3.1 or newer.)

  5. Run PCCOPY from the Z drive of the server.

  6. When PCCOPY prompts you to select a LAN adapter, select "NDIS
     Ethernet."  PCCOPY will copy the appropriate files to your boot disk.

  7. On your boot disk, create a A:\LANMAN subdirectory.

  8. From the EtherExpress diskette, copy \VINES\PROTOCOL.INI file to the
     new \LANMAN directory on the boot disk.

     DO NOT specify the IRQ level in the PROTOCOL.INI file.  However, if
     the EtherExpress board is set to use an I/O address other than 300h,
     edit the PROTOCOL.INI and change the IOADDRESS=300 to the correct I/O
     address.

  9. Copy \NDIS\EXP16.DOS from the EtherExpressdiskette to the root
     directory of the boot diskette.  Verify that the root directory also
     contain BAN.EXE.

 10. From the boot disk, run PCCONFIG and select "NDIS Ethernet."  Choose
     the IRQ that matches the configuration of the EtherExpress board. 
     When PCCONFIG prompts for "Bindings =", enter EXP16.

 11. Before exiting PCCONFIG, save the configuration.

 12. Add these two lines to your CONFIG.SYS file:
	 Device=PROTMAN.DOS
	 Device=EXP16.DOS

 13. Using this boot disk, reboot the workstation.  The workstation will
     logon to the network.


  STATUS-CHECKING UTILITY
  =======================
  We've provided a utility, EXPSTAT.EXE, that allows you to check the
  status of the driver.  The utility is located in the root
  directory on the EtherExpress disk.

  When you execute EXPSTAT, your screen will display the following 
  information:
  - The configuration of the board.
  If there are errors, the following information will be included:
  - The current status of the driver.
  - A list of all the types of errors, if any, that the board has
    experienced since the system was last booted.  To erase the record of
    error types, reboot the system.
