Banyan* NDIS workstation installation notes for Compaq 10 and 10/100
Controllers and the NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC 
========================================================================

Location of Driver:  \NDIS\DOS\N100.DOS


Sample Configuration Files
--------------------------

CONFIG.SYS (will contain):
   
   DEVICE=C:\BAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\BAN
   DEVICE=C:\BAN\N100.DOS

PROTOCOL.INI:
   
   [N100_NIF]
      Drivername = N100$


General Installation
--------------------

1  The Compaq controllers use an NDIS 2.0.1 driver to connect
   to a Banyan server. If you have an NDIS client disk prepared, skip to
   step #6.

2  To create an NDIS client disk, run PCCOPY (located on the Z drive of
   the Banyan server).

3  Choose PC Configuration Software and/or LAN driver, then select NDIS
   Ethernet and PCCONFIG.

4  Choose the appropriate DOS redirector. For example, REDIRALL for all
   versions of DOS.

5  Specify the directory you want the client software copied to. The
   default is A:\.

6  On the client you're setting up, copy the NDIS client software to a
   directory on the hard drive.

7  Run Banyan's PCCONFIG program.

8  Select Network Card Settings and page down to select the NDIS Ethernet
   option.

9  Specify N100_NIF as the PROTOCOL.INI bindings parameter.

10 Select Login Environment Settings, then select Default Communications
   Driver. Page down to select the NDIS Ethernet option.

11 Save the settings and exit PCCONFIG.

12 Copy the PROTOCOL.INI and N100.DOS files located in the NDIS\DOS
   subdirectory on the Compaq Configuration and Driver disk to the BAN
   subdirectory or other directory where Banyan client files are located.
   Modify the PROTOCOL.INI file to make sure the file contains the line
   [N100_NIF] above the DRIVERNAME=N100$ line.

13 Add the lines to your CONFIG.SYS file as shown in the Sample
   Configuration Files section above.

14 Reboot and run BAN to attach to the Banyan server.


Hints and Tips
--------------

1  Error Message with PRO0025E:

   This type of message occurs when the driver attempts to bind to the
   protocol manager. It usually indicates there's a syntax or other error
   in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Review the file carefully for errors. Also,
   verify parameters entered in PCCONFIG. For additional information, see
   NDISBAN.DOC which is part of the NDIS Banyan client software.

2  Make sure your NDISBAN.COM is dated April 1994 or later. Earlier
   versions may not work properly.

3  Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:
   
   DRIVERNAME: (required) If you have a single controller, use the 
      syntax in the Sample Configuration file section. If you are 
      installing multiple controllers, each controller must have a unique 
      driver name.
      Additional instances of the driver would be referenced by
      DRIVERNAME=N100x$, where "x" is a unique number 2 through 9.
   
   SPEED: (Compaq 10/100 controllers and NC3121 Fast Ethernet NICs only)
      (optional; parameters are [Auto / 10 / 100]) The parameter
      disables Auto-Speed Detect and causes the controller to function at
      the speed indicated. If the FORCEDUPLEX parameter is assigned to
      either 1 or 2, the SPEED parameter is required because auto-speed
      sensing is disabled if the duplex mode is forced. Auto-negotiate
      devices cannot detect speed changes in this configuration until the
      driver is reloaded.[Example: SPEED=100]
   
   FORCEDUPLEX: The Compaq 10/100 controllers and NC3121 Fast Ethernet 
   NICs support auto-negotiate, full and half duplex at 10 or 100 Mbps.

      This parameter disables Auto-Negotiate capability and forces the
      controller to operate in Half or Full Duplex mode. The SPEED 
      parameter must be specified and must be valid if the default of 
      Auto-negotiate is changed. Options for FORCEDUPLEX are Auto (for 
      auto-negotiate), 1 (for half), 2 (for full). 
      [Example: FORCEDUPLEX = 2]
   
   SLOT: (required for multiple controllers) This parameter is optional 
      if only one controller is present.  If it is specified but is 
      incorrect, a message indicates that the value doesn't match the 
      configuration but the driver finds the controller and loads anyway.
   
      This parameter is required if more than one controller is present 
      in either one bus or multiple PCI buses of a system. The parameter
      tells the driver which controller it controls. The SLOT number is 
      the encoded value of the PCI controller's device location. To 
      determine the slot number, load the driver with only the DRIVERNAME
      parameter specified. The driver reports all the slots that have PCI
      controller(s) installed. You can determine which card is in which 
      slot by using SETUP.EXE and matching the Ethernet addresses of the
      controller to the device number specified in View Configuration.
      [Example: SLOT=0x1C]
   
   NODE: (optional) This value sets the controller's Individual Address,
      overriding the value read from the controller EEPROM. The address 
      must consist of 12 hexadecimal digits, enclosed in double quotes. 
      The value can not be all zeros. The value can not have the Multicast
      bit set. So, use only the hexadecimal digits 2, 6, A, or E as the
      second digit of the twelve required in the NODE ADDRESS parameter.
      Use any hexadecimal digits in all other positions.[Example: NODE =
      "02AA00123456"]
