PATHWORKS Drivers for
EtherWORKS TURBO PCI 10
and
EtherWORKS TURBO PCI 10 TP
****************************************
* GENERAL PATHWORKS DRIVER INFORMATION *
****************************************
There are currently two driver types for the EtherWORKS TURBO PCI
10 adapter (DE450) supplied on this diskette that are compatible
with PATHWORKS.
The NDIS2 driver, which is written to the industry standard NDIS
2.0.1, can be used. This driver, and installation instructions for
it, can be found in the NDIS2 subdirectory of this diskette.
The PATHWORKS native DLL driver, DLLDE450.EXE, is found in this
subdirectory. The installation instructions are found in this
README.TXT.
*******************************************
* PATHWORKS NATIVE DLL DRIVER INFORMATION *
*******************************************
1.) Requires PATHWORKS V4.1 or greater. Earlier version are not
supported.
2.) Requires DNNETH.EXE to be V4.1.142 or greater (users with
previous versions of DNNETH.EXE will experience hangs when
connecting to network drives).
3.) Connecting to a PC that is running PERMIT requires the DECnet
address of the PC running PERMIT to be defined with MS-NET on
the PC that is attempting to establish a connection. Use the
NCP program to define the MS-NET parameter.
4.) PATHWORKS 4.1 users can automate the native datalink driver
installation by running NETSETUP. Choose "EtherWORKS Native
Datalink" as the Ethernet Adapter type. After NETSETUP
finishes, change the following line in STARTNET.BAT:
%BOOT%\decnet\dlldepca.exe
to
%BOOT%\decnet\DLLDE450.exe
Once this change is complete copy the DLLDE450.EXE driver from
the \PATHWRKS directory of this diskette to the \DECNET
directory on your hard drive.
5.) PATHWORKS 5.0 users should run PWSETUP from the PATHWORKS
server service directory.
- When prompted for the "Network Adapter Information", choose
'Native' from the top=left menu window, then select
'<Other Network Adapter>' from the network adapter menu.
- Enter 'A:\PATHWRKS\DLLDE450.EXE' for the 'Driver Name'
prompt.
All the other procedures are same as EtherWORKS products.
6.) When running multiple protocols (LAT, LAD, etc.) with the
native datalink driver, make sure DECnet (DNNETH.EXE) is always
installed first.
7.) When loading the driver, the following command line switches
may be used:
/MODE:1|2|3 Force Medium port to TP|AUI|BNC mode. If not
specified, the medium port is autosensed.
/I:path Configure DECnet path.
An example command line load (from the c:\> prompt) would be as
follows:
C:\> DLLDE450.EXE /MODE:1 /I C:\DECNET
The native driver may be loaded without any command line
parameters. In this case, the driver will auto-detect the
adapter medium.
