Linksys Ether16 LAN Card Software Setup Instructions for NDIS Networks -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 1994-1996 Linksys, All Rights Reserved -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before You Begin Novell NE2000 Compatibility Disk Organization Setup Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1 Artisoft LANtastic 3Com 3+ Open Banyan Vines Microsoft LAN Manager for DOS & OS/2 IBM OS/2 LAN Server v.4.0 IBM OS/2 LAN Server v.3.0 IBM OS/2 LAN Server v.2.0 IBM Communication Manager v.1.0 IBM LAN Support Program v.1.36 Win/TCP Pathway Access DECnet Pathworks v.4.0 Sun PC-NFS v.5.0 How to Get Technical Support -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEFORE YOU BEGIN -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before attempting to install the Ether16 LAN Card's network software drivers, you should configure the card's internal settings with the SETUP utility included on the Ether16 disk. To configure the card: 1. Get to the DOS command prompt (C:\>). It is important that you have a "clean bootup" with no network drivers loaded. If possible, bypass all of your system's startup files and get to a DOS prompt. If you are using Windows, close it down completely (select File, then Exit from the Program Manager menu). Do NOT run the Setup program from within a DOS window. If you are using Windows 95, restart your PC. Hit the F8 key when "Starting Windows 95..." appears on your screen. Select "Command Prompt Only" from the menu that appears. When your system continues booting again, press the F5 key to bypass all of your startup files. 2. Insert the Ether16 disk into drive A: or B:. Then, from the DOS prompt, type A:SETUP or B:SETUP and press the Enter key. 3. Select "Configure the Ether16 LAN Card Hardware" option from the menu. Configure the card's I/O, IRQ, and connector type settings (you can use the auto configure function if you want). When you're finished, restart your computer and follow the network software driver setup instructions shown below. Important Note: When you configure the card's hardware, write down the IRQ and I/O memory address that you use. You'll need to make sure that your network software is configured so that it uses these same values before your workstation will be able to communicate with the network. 4. After the card has been set up, your PC will restart itself. Connect your network cabling to the card and then run the Setup program again. Run the Setup program's basic diagnostics on the card to make sure that the hardware has been installed correctly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOVELL NE2000 COMPATIBILITY -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ether16 LAN Card is 100% Novell NE2000 compatible. If your network software has a "generic" NE2000 adapter driver, run your network setup software, select NOVELL NE2000 or a compatible driver from the list of possible adapters and you're done--you won't need to follow the instructions below. To install the Ether16 LAN Card's own drivers (included on the Ether16 disk) -- which may provide better performance in some environments -- follow the instructions for your network software package below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISK ORGANIZATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ether16 disk's NDIS files are organized into the following subdirectories: Directory Contents -------------- ---------------------------------------------- NDIS\DOS NDIS driver for DOS NDIS\OS2 NDIS driver for OS/2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows for Workgroups v.3.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Proceed to install Windows for Workgroups. If you already have an installed Windows for Workgroups, open the Control Panel Window to change the network settings. 2. When Windows asks for the type of network adapter, it will show a list of all network adapters supported by Windows. Select 'Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter'. 3. Windows will ask for an OEMSETUP.INF file. Insert the Ether16 disk into drive A:. Then supply the following pathname: A:\NDIS\OEMSETUP.INF (and press the Enter key) 4. Select the Ether16 from the list of adapters. 5. Windows may ask you to supply the path of the Ether16's NDIS drivers. When asked for the pathname, type: A:\NDIS\DOS (and press the Enter key) 6. Windows will copy the NDIS driver file to your computer and update the Windows network automatically. Be sure to configure the network adapter if you are using I/O port or IRQ other than the default. After installation is completely finished, restart your system for the updates to take effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artisoft's LANtastic -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 6.00 ------------ 1. Go through the LANtastic installation. When you are prompted to choose the type of network card to install, select NOVELL NE2000 (or compatible) or NEX016 Follow the rest of the directions in the LANtastic installation and you will be prompted to reboot your computer. If the installation doesn't work correctly the first time, the "IRQ" or "IOBASE" settings in the startnet.bat file probably don't match the settings made in the Ether16 Setup program. 2. Verify the STARTNET.BAT file. The STARTNET.BAT loads the network driver and all LANtastic related files. Make sure that the "NEX000" line's "IRQ" and "IOBASE" settings match those selected in the Linksys Ether16 LAN Card Setup Program. 3. Once changes have been made, be sure to reboot your computer for changes to take effect. Version 5 A\I ------------- 1. Install LANtastic as normal. When prompted for the type of network adapter to install, choose any adapter from the list. NOTE: If you have "NDIS SUPPORT" as one of your selections, choose that selection and follow the Lantastic directions. When asked to enter the of the NDIS drivers, enter the following: A:\NDIS\DOS Follow the rest of the Lantastic instructions and your installation is complete and you can skip the rest of the steps. 2. Copy the Ether NDIS driver to the LANtastic directory. (Put the Ether16 disk into drive A and type the following: COPY A:\NDIS\DOS\ETHER.DOS C:\LANTASTI at the DOS prompt). 3. Next, add the following statements to your PC's CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\ETHER.DOS 4. Using a standard text editor, make a file called PROTOCOL.INI. Save it in the LANTASTI directory, and include all of the following statements in it: [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES PRIORITY = AILANBIO [ETHER] DRIVERNAME = ETHER$ 5. Finally, modify your STARTNET.BAT file: Change the driver line (the line above the AILANBIO statement) so t reads as follows: AI-NDIS BIND_TO=ETHER 6. Save the file and restart your PC. The installation is complete. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3Com 3+ Open -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Begin by installing 3Com 3+ Open. When asked for the type of adapter to install, pick 3Com's 3C501 card. Copy the NDIS\DOS\ETHER.DOS file to your C:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA\LANMAN\DRIVERS directory. Next, modify the device driver statement for the 3C501 card in your CONFIG.SYS file to: device = c:\3open\doswksta\lanman\drivers\ETHER.DOS Modify your PROTOCOL.INI file so that the "drivername" statement reads as follows: [ETHERLINK] : drivername = ETHER$ : Finally, reboot your computer for the changes to take effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Banyan Vines -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Create a bootable diskette (booted with DOS 3.1 or above) which will be used as a Banyan Vines boot disk, or create a sub-directory on your hard disk. There are two methods to copy the required files for Banyan VINES workstation to the bootable diskette or sub-directory of hard disk. Method 1. 1) Execute 'INSTALL' command which was saved in the diskette labeled "VINES MASTER DISK". 2) Follow the instructions to copy the files to the bootable diskette or sub-directory of hard disk. Method 2. 1) Execute the 'BAN' command. 2) Log into the VINES system. 3) Execute the 'PCCOPY' command. 4) Select 'NDIS Ethernet' and follow the instructions for copying the files to the bootable diskette or sub-directory of your hard disk. Next, insert the Ether16 disk into drive A and the prepared bootable diskette into drive B. Copy the appropriate NDIS driver file (ETHER.DOS) from drive A to B (or to the sub-directory of your hard drive). Modify your CONFIG.SYS file so that it includes the following statements: DEVICE=PROTMAN.DOS /I:A:\ DEVICE=ETHER.DOS NOTE: "A:\" is the path that points to your Banyan Vines workstation files. Create a ETHER.NIF file and include the following statements in it: Model = LINKSYS ETHERP Ethernet Card Path = A:\ DeviceDriver = ETHER.DOS DeviceName = ETHER$ Type = NDIS NOTE: "A:\" is the path that points to your Banyan Vines workstation files. Create a PROTOCOL.INI file that contains the following lines: [PROTOCOL MANAGER] drivername = PROTMAN$ [VINES_XIF] drivername = NDISBAN$ bindings = "ETHER" [ETHER] drivername = ETHER$ Next, execute 'PCCONFIG' command: 1) "CONFIGURING A PC FOR THE NETWORK" is displayed on the screen. Select '1 - Network Card Settings'. | "Network Card Setting" is displayed. Select 'NDIS Ethernet'. | "NDIS Ethernet" is displayed. Choose the Linksys adapter Ex.
