INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF BANYAN NETWORK SOFTWARE
------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE READ THE GENERAL INFORMATION FILE CAREFULLY ON THIS DISK
BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER....

1. If the network card has any ROM or RAM or both in high memory

(above 640K) then :-
a) set it as high as possible
b) exclude the address you have set it to with

ALLEMM4.SYS and use the RAM option with ALLEMM4.

2. At the DOS prompt use FILES =
BUFFERS =
LASTDRIVE =
DEVICE =
to load your overhead up into high memory.

When you have finished your complete set up and

everything works fine - you should put your FILES, BUFFERS,

LASTDRIVE & DEVICE commands into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

3. Now run BAN /NC (i.e. No Controller)
This loads low and only takes up 1 KB of Conventional memory.

4. ALLOAD

i.e. for Token Ring

ALLOAD TOKUBAN.COM

i.e. for Etherlink

ALLOAD ETHERBAN.COM

5. Finally

ALLOAD EPCBFS.COM - the DOS Redirector

The RAM requirements for the LAN Drivers are based upon:
a. Default of 6 Open Files Volumes
b. Default of 18 Communication Buffers

The size of the LAN driver will vary depending upon these Comm

Buffers and Files in the PCCONFIG.DB:
For each additional File Volume - add 220 Bytes
For each additional Comm Buffer - add 1024 Bytes


Examples:
The X= (exclude) should exclude the ROM and RAM area

used by the Network card. This will vary from card to card.

EXAMPLE 1:

WYSE 286 with MDA & Pronet & 1MB
- Free DOS memory after LOGIN 629K

CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=ALLEMM4.SYS /RAM /FR=NONE

N.B. If you plan to use EMS, then you will need an EMS pageframe
and therefore cannot have FR=NONE.

AUTOEXEC.BAT: FILES=20
BUFFERS=50
LASTDRIV=C:/DOS/ANSI.SYS
BAN /NC
ALLOAD PROBAN
ALLOAD EPCBFS
Z:LOGIN


EXAMPLE 2:

WYSE with EGA & Token Ring with Primary Adapter & 1MB
- Free DOS memory after LOGIN 560K

CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=ALLEMM4.SYS /RAM /FR=NONE /X=C400-C9FF /X=D800-DBFF

In this example the Token Ring ROM is set at C400-C9FF, the RAM
is set at D800-DBFF because we are using TOKNBAN.

N.B. If you plan to use EMS, then you will need an EMS pageframe
and therefore cannot have FR=NONE.
N.B. If you are using Token Ring Adapters, you should read the

Token Ring File to place you Token Ring Adapter Card ROM
& RAM at the most convenient location.
N.B. If you are using TOKNBAN and you do not have a PS/2, then

use the Banyan PCCONFIG program to set your network card

ROM at the most convenient location and RAM at D800. This

is inconvenient but until PS/2s came along the RAM was hard

wired at D800. With a PS/2, you can use the Reference Disk

to relocate the RAM.

AUTOEXEC.BAT:

FILES /AS =20
BUFFERS /AS =50
LASTDRIV /AS =Z:
DEVICE /AS =ANSI.SYS
BAN /NC
ALLOAD TOKNBAN (You may need to use ALLOAD /SG:aaaa to load )
ALLOAD EPCBFS (these to files into the right memory spaces )
