Introduction:
=============

  This document shows you how to install Lantastic NDIS driver
  and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    LANTASTI.TXT        This file.
    PCIND.DOS           The NDIS2 driver.
    PROTOCOL.INI        Sample protocol.ini file.



Installation:
=============

  Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
  is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
  (A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.

  Install procedure for Lantastic 6.0
  -----------------------------------

    1) Run Lantastic 6.0 install program and follow screen instructions.

    2) When the "Network Adapter Setup" appears, Select "Use NDIS driver for
       non-Artisoft adapter" and type "A:\LANTASTI" in the search path and
       select "Search" button.

    3) When the install program find PCIND NDIS driver, select "OK" to continue.

    4) Follow the screen instructions to complete the installation.

    5) Restart the computer.

  Manual install for Lantastic 6.0/5.0
  ------------------------------------

    You can replace the NDIS driver by modify the following configuration files:

        Sample CONFIG.SYS
        -----------------

        DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
        DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PCIND.DOS


        Sample STARTNET.BAT
        -------------------

        C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=PCIND_NIF
        C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO


        Sample PROTOCOL.INI
        -------------------

        [PROTMAN]
           DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
           DYNAMIC = YES

        [PCIND_NIF]
           DRIVERNAME = PCIND$


Configuration Files:
====================

    You can change the configuration by modify PROTOCOL.INI file.

    File Name:          PROTOCOL.INI
    ----------
    Sample of configuration file:
    -----------------------------

        ...
        [PCIND_NIF]
        DRIVERNAME=PCIND$
        IOBASE=0x300
        INTERRUPT=5
        EARLYRECEIVE=0
        EARLYTRANSMIT=0
        FULLDUPLEX=0
        PCIID=0
        [PCIND_NIF]
        DRIVERNAME=PCIND2$
        IOBASE=0x320
        INTERRUPT=9
        EARLYRECEIVE=0
        EARLYTRANSMIT=0
        FULLDUPLEX=0
        PCIID=0
        ...


    Custom Keywords:
    ----------------
        PCIID="hhhhhhhhhhhh"            This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
                                        the adapter you want to drive. If there
                                        are more than one ethernet adapters in
                                        your system, you have to use this
                                        keyword to let driver locate the right
                                        adapter.
                                        However, you don't have to use
                                        this property or let the value to be
                                        zero (i.e. PCIID=0) if there is only
                                        one adapter in your system.

                                        Note: Please remember to enter the
                                              double quotes.

        EARLYTRANSMIT                   This keyword is used to enable turbo
                                        transmission mode for accelerating data
                                        transmission.

        EARLYRECEIVE                    This keyword is used to enable turbo
                                        transmission mode for accelerating data
                                        receiption.

        FULLDUPLEX                      This keyword is used to enable full
                                        duplex mode.

  NOTE:
  -----
    Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
      If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to
      use the keyword, PCIID, to let driver locate the right adapter.
      And you must set DriverName to be PCIND$ and PCIND2$ for two different
      adapters.
      You can use the diagnostic program (A:\SETUP.EXE) under DOS prompt
      to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.
