 Introduction
 
    This installation assumes that the adapter is working properly.
    Getting Started will describe the installation instructions.

 Requirements
 
     A PCI compatible computer
     A PCI Family Series Adapter
     A knowledge of basic DOS commands and editing text files

 Minimum Skill Level
 
     A knowledge of basic DOS commands
     A knowledge of editing text files
     A knowledge of DOS basic file structure (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT)
     A knowledge of the network driver configuration being used
     Please see Support Options if you are not comfortable with this
      skill level

 Compatibility List
 
     Any PCI Family Ethernet Adapter
     For a Motherboard compatibility list please consult your local
      D-Link Branch Office

 Getting Started
 
    There are two methods for running the IPX SHELL program. They are
    described below.

    METHOD 1:
    
         If the DLKPCI.SYS program is used, the following statement must be
          included in your CONFIG.SYS file:

                DEVICE = DLKPCI.SYS [/option] <packet_int_no>

          <packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used
                          by the packet driver program. This can be from
                          96 to 128.

          /d              Delay Initial - The driver program will not
                                          initialize the network interface card
                                          until the packet driver program is
                                          accessed by its upper layer program.

          /w              The /w parameter is for use only in the Windows
                                          environment.

          See \PKTDRV\README.TXT for addition parameters


         Modify the content of AUTOEXEC.BAT to add DPDIPX statement:

                >DPDIPX
                >NETX
                ><change to last driver>
                >LOGIN <username>

    METHOD 2:
    
         If the DLKPCI.COM program is used, follow these steps:

         Execute DLKPCI.COM by typing:

                >DLKPCI [/option] <packet_int_no>
                >DPDIPX
                >NETX
                ><change to last driver>
                >LOGIN <username>

          <packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the
                          packet driver program. This can be from 96 to 128.

          /d              Delay Initial - The driver program will not initialize
                          the network interface card until the packet driver
                          program is accessed by its upper layer program.

          /w              The -w parameter is for use only in the Windows
                          environment.
