 I.B. INSTALLING THE DOS NDIS MAC DRIVER FOR PATHWORKS


    DEPEA.DOS is the NDIS MAC driver for DOS.

    I.B.1 Installation Procedure

        a. Run NETSETUP from the PATHWORKS Client Setup diskettes or from
           an existing PC on the network to create a new key disk.

           Choose OTHER NDIS for the Network Adapter and when prompted for
           the location of the NDIS driver enter the following:

           ex. A:\NDIS\DOS\DEPEA.DOS

           When prompted for the location of the PROTOCOL.INI stub file
           enter:

           ex. A:\NDIS\DOS\

           When finished with all selections, choose WRITE KEY DISK.

        b. If printer port io or IRQ number is changed, edit the
           PROTOCOL.INI file to reflect these changes or when prompted
           to modify the Protocol.ini from within Netsetup. This file
           will be located in the \DECNET directory of the key diskette.

           See the PROTOCOL.INI template in User Notes Section for valid
           parameters.

        c. Installation is now complete. Reboot the PC with the new key
           disk.


    USER NOTES
    -----------

    1. During the initialization of the DEPEA device driver, a message
       stating that diagnostics are being executed will be displayed.  If
       an error is detected, an appropriate message is displayed.  Please
       correct the error specified, or contact your Network Administrator.


    2. If the error "IRQ Test Failed" is displayed during the execution of
       the diagnostics, make sure the "INTERRUPT =" field of PROTOCOL.INI
       had set to the correct IRQ number of the printer port used for DEPEA.


    3. If the error "Unable to determine IO Address" is displayed during the
       execution ofthe diagnostics, make sure the "IOADDRESS =" field of
       PROTOCOL.INI had set to the correct IO base address of the printer port
       used for DEPEA.

    4. The PROTOCOL.INI template that follows has been included to show all
       the options that may be used in defining an NDIS driver.  Not all
       options are required as documented.



 ;
 ;                      PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS
 ;        for the DEC EtherPocket Ethernet Adapters
 ;
 ;
 ; This document describes the PROTOCOL.INI keywords used for the
 ; DEC EtherPocket NDIS MAC driver.  The only parameter that must be
 ; specified is the "DriverName".  Note that many of these parameters
 ; have default values (which are specified below).  A parameter need
 ; not be specified in the PROTOCOL.INI file if its default value is
 ; satisfactory.
 ;
 ;DriverName
 ;     units:[n/a]
 ;     range:[DEPEA$]
 ;     default:[DEPEA$]
 ;
 ;     This parameter's value must be DEPEA$, it identifies the network
 ;     device driver.
 ;
 ; The following entries are optional under the [DEPEA] section.
 ;
 ;MaxMulticast
 ;     units:[integer]
 ;     range:[1-64]
 ;     default:[8]
 ;     Example: 8
 ;
 ;     This specifies the maximum number of multicast addresses that can
 ;     be in effect simultaneously. (NOTE that there's no 's' on the end of
 ;     this keyword.)
 ;
 ;Interrupt
 ;     units:[integer]
 ;     range:[5,7]
 ;     default:[n/a]
 ;     Example: 5
 ;
 ;     This specifies the IRQ level that will be used by the adapter-to-PC
 ;     interrupt. Its value should agree with the printer port IRQ number.
 ;     Mark out this field will force DEPEA.DOS to detect the printer IRQ
 ;     number used for EtherPocket.
 ;
 ;IOAddress
 ;     units:[hex]
 ;     range:[3BC, 378, 278]
 ;     default:[n/a]
 ;     example:[0X378]
 ;
 ;     This specifies the IO Base Address of the adapter. Its value must
 ;     agree with the printer port IO base address. Mark out this filed
 ;     to let DEPEA.DOS to decide the printer IO port for EtherPocket.
 ;
 ;Netaddress
 ;     units:[integer/character]
 ;     range:[0h-0Fh] quotes are required
 ;     default:[n/a]
 ;     Example: "08002B12AF34"
 ;
 ;     This specifies the station address that will be used by the adapter
 ;     if the upper layers do not provide a way to set the station address.
 ;     If the upper layers set the station address, then this switch will
 ;     be ignored.
 ;
 ;Diagnostic
 ;     units:[integer]
 ;     range:[0,1]
 ;     default:[1]
 ;     example: 1
 ;
 ;     If you do not wish to execute the diagnostics each time the driver
 ;     is loaded, edit PROTOCOL.INI such that DIAGNOSTIC=0.
 ;
 ;Pmode
 ;     units:[integer]
 ;     range:[1,3]
 ;     default:[3]
 ;     example: 3
 ;
 ;     This option let you specify the Printer Port Mode supported by your
 ;     system.
