2 Banyan 6.00 NDIS workstation
v1.05
Banyan* NDIS workstation installation notes for Intel's EtherExpress(TM)
PRO/100+ PCI LAN adapter
========================================================================
Location of Driver: \NDIS\E100B.DOS
Sample Configuration Files
--------------------------
CONFIG.SYS (will contain):
DEVICE=C:\BAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\BAN
DEVICE=C:\BAN\E100B.DOS
PROTOCOL.INI:
[E100B_NIF]
Drivername = E100B$
General Installation
--------------------
1 The EtherExpress PRO/100+ adapter uses 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 E100B_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 E100B.DOS files located in the NDIS
subdirectory on the Intel 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
[E100B_NIF] above the DRIVERNAME=E100B$ 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 adapter, use the syntax in
the Sample Configuration file section. If you are installing
multiple adapters, each adapter must have a unique driver name.
Additional instances of the driver would be referenced by
DRIVERNAME=E100Bx$, where "x" is a unique number 2 through 9.
SPEED: (optional; parameters are [Auto / 10 / 100]) The parameter
disables Auto-Speed Detect and causes the adapter 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: Full duplex and auto-negotiate capabilities vary between
the PRO/100 TX and the PRO/100 T4 adapters.
EtherExpress PRO/100+ TX adapter: Supports auto-negotiate, full
and half duplex at 10 or 100 Mbps.
EtherExpress PRO/100B T4 adapter: Supports full and half duplex
at 10 Mbps; supports only half duplex at 100 Mbps. Auto-
negotiate is not a valid option at either speed.
This parameter disables Auto-Negotiate capability and forces the
adapter 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 adapters) This parameter is optional if
only one adapter 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 adapter and loads anyway.
This parameter is required if more than one adapter is present in
either one bus or multiple PCI buses of a system. The parameter
tells the driver which adapter it controls. The SLOT number is the
encoded value of the PCI adapter'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
adapter(s) installed. You can determine which card is in which slot
by using SETUP.EXE and matching the Ethernet addresses of the
adapter to the device number specified in View Configuration.
[Example: SLOT=0x1C]
NODE: (optional) This value sets the adapter's Individual Address,
overriding the value read from the adapter 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"]
