WESTERN DIGITAL
"PLUS"-FAMILY LAN ADAPTER BOARD DRIVER
FOR USE WITH DEC's DECnet-DOS and PCSA/PC
INSTALLATION GUIDE
The DLL.EXE driver contained on this diskette is for use with the
WD8003-Family LAN Adapters: StarCard PLUS (tm), StarLink PLUS (tm),
and EtherCard PLUS (tm). This driver operates with DEC's DECnet-DOS (*)
or PCSA/PC Software.
This document contains the information about how to install a Western
Digital "PLUS"-family LAN adapter board and the DLL DECnet driver on
DEC's DECnet network.
1. Jumper the adapter according to your system configuration.
The DLL Device Driver is installed at PC boot time according to the
command line specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (described below).
The user must ensure that the software settings given on the device
driver command line match the jumper settings on the adapter board.
Jumper settings for some adapter boards are described in the
JUMPERS.DOC file. For more information, refer to the Western Digital
"User Installation Guide" that comes with each adapter board.
2. Insert the adapter in your PC.
3. Power up your PC.
4A. For DECnet-DOS:
--------------
Install the DECnet-DOS network software using the DIP.EXE
installation program supplied on the DECnet-DOS diskette. Select
ETHERNET communications during the installation.
Next, copy the Western Digital driver DLL.EXE from this diskette
to the \DECNET directory of your system drive. For example,
COPY A:\DECNET\DLL.EXE C:\DECNET\DLL.EXE
Next, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to load the DLL driver as described
in step 5.
4B. For PCSA/PC:
-----------
Have your system administrator create a KEY diskette for your system.
The KEY diskette should be created with your DECnet address and your
personal startup files.
Next, copy the Western Digital driver DLL.EXE from this diskette
to the \SYSTEM directory of your KEY diskette. For example, with
your KEY diskette in drive A: and this diskette in drive B:, type:
COPY B:\DECNET\DLL.EXE A:\SYSTEM\DLL.EXE
Next, edit file A:\SYSTEM\MSNET.INI on your KEY diskette as described
in step 5. (Make sure to change ALL occurrances of DLL.)
5. You need to edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT or A:\SYSTEM\MSNET.INI to load
the DLL.EXE driver and to reflect the jumper selections of step 1.
Use the format:
C:\DECNET\DLL /IRQ=irq /IO=base /SM=page (AUTOEXEC.BAT)
or
DLL /IRQ=irq /IO=base /SM=page (MSNET.INI)
where,
irq - IRQ level to receive adapter board interrupts, jumper W2 (2)
base - I/O base address in hexadecimal, jumper W1 (280)
page - 4-digit memory segment byte address of the 8 Kbyte
shared buffer memory (not set by jumpers on the board) (D000)
The DLL.EXE defaults are given in parentheses. Note that the DLL.EXE
defaults to IRQ2 while the "PLUS"-Family boards are shipped with the
jumper set to IRQ3. Therefore, either the /IRQ parameter must be
specified or else the jumper must be changed.
For example, the following statement corresponds to the factory jumper
configuration of the adapter and a buffer memory base address of DE000:
DLL /IRQ=3 /IO=280 /SM=DE00
Your "irq" options for the /IRQ Interrupt parameter are: 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, or 7.
Your "base" options for the /IO I/O base address parameter are: 3E0,
3C0, 3A0, 380, 360, 340, 320, 300, 2E0, 2C0, 2A0, 280, 260, 240, 220,
or 200.
Your "page" options for the /SM shared memory parameter are: 8000 -
F000, on 8K-byte boundaries (increments of 200 hex). (The DLL.EXE
driver defaults to D000; there are no jumpers for this on the adapter
board.)
6. Reboot the system.
