WINNT.DOC

Windows NT
==========
  The installation procedure for Microsoft Windows NT(TM) and Windows
NT(TM) Advanced Server operating systems are the same. Both operating
systems will hereafter be referred to as "Windows NT".

  During installation of the NDIS 3.0 MAC driver, you may find it
convenient to have the Windows NT System Guide at hand. Review the
"Configuring the Network" section in chapter 5 and chapter 19,
"Installing Windows NT" prior to installation.

  The NDIS 3.0 MAC 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. Do not try to manually
change entries in the registry. All MAC driver parameters are
settable from the Network control panel.


Installation procedure:
=======================
  The installation procedure for the NDIS 3.0 MAC driver allows
installation either during the initial Windows NT installation or
after Windows NT has been installed on your machine. If you
have already installed Windows NT on your machine, refer to the
"Adding adapter" section.


MAC Installation during Windows NT installation:
----------------------------------------------------
  1 - Follow the instructions in the Windows NT System Guide to
      begin Windows NT installation.

  2 - If you have chosen custom set-up, you should choose "Do Not
      Detect" when the "Network Adapter Card Detection" window
      displays, as there is no netcard detection module included
      with the Olicom MAC drivers.

  3 - When the message "Set-up did not detect a network card" displays,
      select "Continue" to go to the adapter card set-up phase.

  4 - Continue with step 4 in the "Adding adapter" section below.


Adding Adapter:
---------------
  If you are installing a network adapter after Windows NT has been
successfully installed on your system, you must be logged on with
administrative rights. This is necessary in order to be able to add,
configure and remove network adapters in Windows NT.

  1 - Select the Control Panel in the Main window.

  2 - Select the Network icon.

  3 - In the Network Settings panel, choose the "Add adapter" button.

  4 - In the list of Network Adapter Cards, select "<Other> Requires
      disk from manufacturer" and press the "Continue" button.

  5 - Enter the full path to the setup files for the desired adapter
      type. If you are installing from the setup diskette, you should
      enter "A:\NT".

  6 - Confirm choice, by selecting proper adapter type and press the
      "OK" button.

      The setup program now copies installation files to your
      harddisk.

  7 - In the adapter configuration dialogue box, select proper values
      for adapter settings. Refer to the "Adapter parameters" section
      below for further details.

  8 - Press the "OK" button when all parameters have been set
      correctly.

      The setup program now copies the NDIS 3.0 MAC driver to your
      harddisk.

  9 - You may wish to review the binding settings by selecting the
      "Bindings" button. Press "OK" to return from the Network
      Bindings windows.

 10 - Select the "OK" button in the Network control panel, when
      all adapters have been added.

 11 - The settings will not take effect, until the system is
      restarted. If Windows NT is installed on your system, system
      restart can be initiated by selecting the "Yes" option in the
      dialogue box shown when you exit the Network Control Panel.


Adapter parameters:
===================
  When configuring an adapter, the following parameters can be
modified:

  I/O Base Address : Must match the adapter I/O settings on the
installed adapter.

  Bus Number : Identifies the bus number, the adapter has been plugged
into. For single-bus architectures, this value should be 0 (zero).

  Early Token Release : Selects the early token release feature. This
parameter has only effect, when running 16 Mbps.

  Full Transmit Status : When set to "Yes", normal transmit
verification is performed, and the upper layer drivers will be
notified about the status of the transmitted frame, i.e. whether the
destination address has been recognised and the frame has been copied
by the receiving station. When this value is "No", all transmitted
frames are assumed both recognised and copied by another station on
the ring. If you have a bridge/router in your network or discover
abnormal network behaviour, this value should be set to "Yes".

  Network Address : If this entry is specified, the specified value
will be used in place of the universal burned-in node address on the
adapter card. Note that the entered address must be administered
locally. It must be entered as "XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX", e.g.
"40-00-12-34-56-78".


Using STAT.EXE to view adapter statistics:
==========================================
  The STAT.EXE program is used to display adapter status and
statistics. This program is placed in the \NT\UTIL directory on
your diskette. In order to use the STAT.EXE utility you must have your
driver installed.

The program is called, using the following parameters:

      STAT <adapter name> [options]

where

      <adapter name>
      - is <driver name><instance>. Notice: There is no space
      character between <driver name> and <instance>.

      <driver name>
      - is the name of the driver, i.e. "Octk32".

      <instance>
      - is the instance number of the network adapter installed, i.e.
        01, 02 etc.

      [options]
      - is one or more of the following
           -c for adapter configuration. Default.
           -a for additional adapter configuration
           -s for general adapter statistics
           -m for media specific statistics

Example:

      STAT

shows the above option list.

      STAT octk3201 -s

will show the statistics for the octk3201 driver.


Error messages:
===============
  If you experience any problems with the network, you should check
if any error messages or warnings are posted by the MAC driver by
using the Event Viewer found in the Administrative Tools window. All
error messages and/or warnings posted by the Olicom MAC driver have
the Source field set to "OcTk16" or "OcTk32" depending on the adapter
installed. System error messages, related to the Olicom MAC driver,
may occur with different source names, i.e. "Service Control
Manager".

  The messages are enumerated by the Event field and are described
below in Event number order. You can display the message description,
by highlighting the message and pressing enter.

  11	OcTk3201 has failed the lobe wrap test resulting from the
	beacon auto-removal process and has deinserted from the ring.
	Action: The adapter has deinserted from the ring, because the
        ring was beaconing. Check the network speed settings and
        cable connections and retry the operation. If the error
        persist, contact your network administrator.

  12	OcTk3201 has received a remove ring station Mac frame request
	and has deinserted from the ring.
	Action: The adapter has been removed by a LAN Manager
        station. Contact your network administrator.
