    TokenExpress(TM) Adapter: Driver Installation, Windows NT

    
    

    MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT DRIVER INSTALLATION

    
       This file contains instructions specific for the installation and
    
       operation of Intel's TokenExpress adapter driver.   Refer to the
    
       appropriate Network Operation System documentation for any NOS-specific
    
       questions or other information.
    
    
    
       These instructions apply to Release 5.0 of the software.
    
    
    
       Introduction
    
       The installation procedure for Microsoft Windows NT and Windows NT
    
       Advanced Server operating systems are the same. From now on, we'll refer
    
       to both operating systems as "Windows NT".
    
    
    
       The NDIS installation procedure described below will copy all necessary
    
       set-up files to your Windows NT "System32" directory and the driver to
    
       your "System32\Drivers" directory. In addition, several changes will be
    
       made to your registry. You can specify different parameter settings for
    
       your registry from the NetWork Settings window.
    
    
    
       Installation procedure
    
       The steps for installing the driver differ according to whether Windows
    
       NT has been installed or not.  Follow one of the procedures below.
    
    
    
       If installing Windows NT for the first time
    
    
    
         1. Follow the instructions in the Windows NT System Guide to begin the
    
            Windows NT installation.
    
    
    
         2. If you have selected custom set-up, choose "Do Not Detect" when the
    
            "Network Adapter Card Detection" window is displayed. The detection
    
            option is not available with the TokenExpress driver.
    
    
    
         3. When you get the message "Set-up did not detect a network card,"
    
            choose "Continue."
    
    
    
         4. Continue with step 4 in the next section.
    
    
    
       If Windows NT is installed
    
    
    
         1. Log on as Supervisor.  This is required for configuring and
    
            removing network drivers in Windows NT.
    
    
    
         2. From the Main window, choose the Control Panel icon.
    
    
    
         3. Choose the Network icon.
    
    
    
         4. From the Network Settings window, choose "Add adapter".  You'll see
    
            a list of adapters to choose from.
    
    
    
         5. Choose "<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer" and choose
    
            "Continue".
    
    
    
         6. When prompted, enter the path of the driver installation files
    
            contained on the Intel driver diskette #2. For example:
    
    
    
            type "A:\NDIS30\NT".
    
    
    
         7. Highlight the TokenExpress driver and choose "OK".  The required
    
            installation files will be copied to your hard disk.
    
    
    
         8. From the adapter configuration dialog box, verify that the
    
            configuration settings for the adapter are correct.  For help, see
    
            the next section "Setting Adapter Parameters."
    
    
    
         9. When all parameters have been set correctly, choose "OK".  The
    
            setup program now copies the NDIS driver to your hard disk.
    
    
    
         10.(Optional) Review the binding settings by choosing "Bindings". 
    
            When done, choose "OK".  This returns you to the NetWork Settings
    
            window.
    
    
    
         11.Repeat steps 5-10 for any additional adapters you are installing. 
    
            Then choose "OK" from the NetWork Settings window.  The settings
    
            will not take effect until the system reboots.
    
    
    
         12.Remove the TokenExpress adapter driver diskette from the diskette
    
            drive.  Then choose "YES" to reboot the system when prompted.
    
    
    
       Setting Adapter parameters
    
       You can change any of these TokenExpress adapter parameters:
    
    
    
       I/O Base Address
    
       Must match the adapter I/O settings on the installed adapter.
    
    
    
       Bus Number
    
       Identifies the bus that the adapter has been installed in. 0 = single
    
       bus, .....(Default = 0)
    
    
    
       Early Token Release
    
       Enables or disables early token release. YES = enable, NO = disable. 
    
       (Default = NO). This is only available when running at 16 Mbps.
    
    
    
       Full Transmit Status
    
       Specifies whether transmit notification occurs.  When set to YES, the
    
       upper layer drivers are notified of the status of transmitted frames, if
    
       the station received the frame and if it was able to copy the frame.  If
    
       there is a bridge/router on your network or you're having network
    
       problems, set this value to "Yes".
    
    
    
       If set to NO, no transmit notification occurs.  All upper layer drivers
    
       will assume that transmitted frames are successfully received and copied
    
       by other stations.
    
    
    
       Network Address
    
       Specifies the address which replaces the adapters burned-in address. 
    
       The new address must be locally administered using this format:
    
       "XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX". For example, "40-00-12-34-56-78".
    
    
    
       These parameters are available only with the TokenExpress 16/4 adapters:
    
    
    
       Max Frame Size
    
       Sets the size of each transmit buffer allocated in system memory.
    
    
    
       Transmit Buffers
    
       Sets the number of allocated transmit buffers in system memory.
    
    
    
       Receive Buffers
    
       Sets the number of allocated receive buffers in system memory.
    
    
    
       Caution:  If you have several adapters installed, be careful not to
    
       allocate too much memory.  Otherwise, the drivers may not be able to
    
       load.  This is especially true with ISA adapters, as system resources
    
       used by the driver are limited.
    
    
    
       If you receive the error "OcTk1601: Could not allocate the resources
    
       necessary for operation" in the Event Log, it means that the driver 
    
       didn't  load.  If you have a single ISA adapter in your system, try
    
       modifying the MAC parameters as shown here:
    
    
    
         1. From the Control Panel window, choose the Network icon.
    
    
    
         2. Highlight "Adapter", and then choose "Configure".
    
    
    
         4. Set the Receive Buffers to 10.
    
    
    
         5. Set the Transmit Buffers to 8.
    
    
    
         6. Keep the Max Frame Size at 8 KBytes (default).
    
    
    
         7. Save and Exit.
    
    
    
       Note:     These changes may affect performance.
    
    
    
       Error messages
    
       If you experience problems with the network, check the Event Viewer
    
       (available from the Administrative Tools window) to see if any error
    
       messages or warnings are listed there.  Driver error messages have the
    
       source name "OCTK32" (for the TokenExpress EISA/32 adapter) or "OCTK16"
    
       (for all other TokenExpress adapters).  System error messages that are
    
       related to the TokenExpress driver can have several different source
    
       names: for example, "Service Control Manager".
    
    
    
       To see how to correct the error, highlight the message and press Enter.
    
       If you are unable to correct it, be sure to copy down the error number
    
       and description of the error before contacting your dealer or Intel
    
       Technical Support.
