Network Driver for PathWay Runtime ================================== Introduction ------------ PathWay Runtime (release 1.2) provides the low level services that permit TCP/IP applications (such as PathWay Access) to function on your computer. PathWay Runtime must be installed and configured before PathWay applications or PathWay API can be installed and used. The following sections describe how to configure network adapter driver for PathWay Runtime. PathWay Runtime can support the following driver specifications in different environments that co-exist with PathWay applications: Driver Environment Typical Network Software ------ ----------- ------------------------ NDIS Shared MS LAN Manager, VINES, LAN Requester DEC Pathwork ------------------------------------------------ ODI Shared Novell Netware ------------------------------------------------ PDS Shared LANs with Packet driver ------------------------------------------------ PDS: Packet Driver Specifications Where are the Drivers ? ----------------------- The ODI driver LE8029.COM is located on the subdirectory \DOSODI of the driver diskette. The DOS NDIS driver L8029.DOS is located on the subdirecotry \NDIS\ of this driver diskette. Together with L8029.DOS, you can find a sample PROTOCOL.INI file. For Packet driver, you can find LE8029.COM on the subdirectory \PKTDRV of the driver diskette. The above drivers can work with the follwoing models with each associated available settings: LE-8029R LE-8029RB LE-8029RT Information Common to all Driver Files -------------------------------------- No matter what the driver specification, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file always contains the following entries for PathWay Runtime: pwconfig -n:65 drivername pwtcp Please refer to the PathWay Runtime Installation manual for details. PathWay Runtime in a DOS dedicated environment with NDIS driver --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Prepare a PROTOCOL.INI as the example below and place it on a driver sub-directory, for example C:\LE8029R: PROTOCOL.INI Examples lines for LE8029R [LE8029R_NIF] DRIVERNAME = L8029$ 2. Copy PROTMAN.EXE of PathWay Runtime to C:\LE8029R. Or, if you have PROTMAN.DOS available from other vendor, copy it into C:\LE8029R. 3. Copy NDIS driver "L8029.DOS" to C:\LE8029R. 4. Edit CONFIG.SYS to add the following two lines: device=c:\LE8029R\PROTMAN.EXE /i:\LE8029R device=c:\LE8029R\L8029.dos * where /i:\LE8029R specifies the directory path of PROTOCOL.INI 5. Install your network adapter into your workstation and boot up the workstation to load PROTMAN.EXE and L8029.DOS into memory. This step must be done before you execute PWSETUP program. 6. Run PathWay PWSETUP program to install PathWay Runtime. 7. Select NDIS driver and complete the installation procedure. 8. Verify the configuration of AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.BAT The following lines were added by setup program when PathWay Runtime was installed. set path=c:\pathway;%path% pwconfig -n:65 ndis -d:1 -i:3 pwtcp * ndis -d:1 -i:3 where -i:3 is the IRQ setting of you network adapter. Due to the bug of PWSETUP program, one line of "pwbind" was missing between the lines of "ndis -d:1 -i:5" and "pwtcp". You have to add the line into AUTOEXEC.BAT as below by yourself: set path=c:\pathway;%path% pwconfig -n:65 ndis -d:1 -i:5 ---------> pwbind pwtcp PathWay Runtime in a NetWare environment with ODI driver -------------------------------------------------------- 1. In this section, Netware ODI for DOS is assumed to have been installed in you workstation. Otherwise, install Netware software with ODI driver. 2. Bootup and load Netware LSL and ODI driver, before you install PathWay Runtime. This procedure is necessary to be done before you can install PathWay Runtime. 3. Run PathWay PWSETUP program to install PathWay Runtime. 4. Select ODI driver and complete the installation procedure. 5. After installation, verify the configuration of the AUTOEXEC.BAT and NET.CFG files. AUTOEXEC.BAT The following lines should be included in the file: lsl le8029 ipxodi netx set path=c:\pathway;%path% pwconfig -n:65 odi -i:3 pwtcp * odi -i:3 where -i:3 is the IRQ being used by the network adapter. NET.CFG Example Protocol IPX Bind LE8029 Protocol IP Bind LE8029 Protocol ARP Bind LE8029 Link Driver LE8029 frame ETHERNET_802.3 Protocol IPX 000000000000 ETHERNET_802.3 frame ETHERNET_II Protocol IP 000000000800 ETHERNET_II Protocol ARP 000000000806 ETHERNET_II PathWay Runtime in a dedicated environment with PDS driver ---------------------------------------------------------- 1. Copy the PDS driver LE8029.COM to a sub-directory, for example, C:\PKT. 2. Please review the install.doc file, which is together with LE8029.COM. 3. Add the following command lines of loading Packet driver LE8029.COM in AUTOEXEC.BAT: set path=c:\pkt;%path% LE8029 4. Run PathWay PWSETUP program to install PathWay Runtime. 5. Select PDS driver and specify the directory C:\PKT (same as that in point 1) and complete the installation procedure. 6. After installation, AUTOEXEC.BAT should have the following lines: set path=c:\pkt;%path% LE8029 set path=c:\pathway;%path% pwconfig -n:65 pktdrv -i:3 pwtcp * pktdrv -i:3 where -i:3 must match the value of the adapter's IRQ setting
