This file describes the operation of the Digital EtherWORKS SNMP 
Management DLLs for Windows NT (hereafter referred to as "The DLLs")
The DLLs manage objects from the following two MIBS:  RFC1643.DLL and
RFC1514.DLL.

RFC1643.DLL contains objects from RFC1643 the Ethernet MIB.  These objects
are statistics unique to IEEE 802.3 Ethernet physical network media.  

RFC1514.DLL contains objects from RFC1514 the Host Resources MIB.  These
objects contain information useful for identifying the specific adapters 
installed on the system.



Section 1  INSTALLING THE WINDOWS NT SNMP AGENT
-----------------------------------------------

The Windows NT SNMP agent software is included as part of the standard
Windows NT software distribution.  Log into a privileged account on your
system, and activate the Control Panel.  From the Control Panel, select
the Network icon.  From the Network setup dialog box, select Add Software,
and choose the SNMP service.  You will be prompted for your installation
media.

The SNMP service, once installed, starts automatically at boot time.  You
may verify the current state of the SNMP agent service by choosing the
Services icon from the Control Panel.  Scrolling through the services, you
will see one called 'SNMP Agent'.  The service status should be 'Started'
and the startup should be 'Automatic'.  If this is not the case, consult
the online Windows NT documentation for further information regarding the
installation of the SNMP Agent.


Section 2  INSTALLING THE SNMP DLLs
-----------------------------------

Perform the following steps to install RFC1643.DLL and RFC1514.DLL:

1.    Verify that a supported Digital EtherWORKS network adapter is properly
      configured and installed.

2.    Verify that the driver has been loaded.  You may do this by selecting
      the Devices icon from the Control Panel.

3.    Insert the Network Management Distribution diskette into the disk drive
      on your system.

4.    Activate a DOS CMD window, and set your default drive and directory to
      the WINNT area on the Network Management Distribution diskette.  For
      example, if you are installing from a floppy in drive A, issue the 
      following commands:

      > A:
      > cd \SNMP\WINNT

5.    Identify the subdirectory that is appropriate for your machine.

      NOTE: The management diskette that ships with your adapter contains
      the Intel version of the DLLs.  The Alpha, MIPS, and PowerPC versions
      of the DLLs are available free of charge from the on-line sources
      cited at the end of this file.
      
      i386      Intel based machines

      select the subdirectory, and issue the cd command to enter it.  For
      example:

      > cd i386

6.    The agents are distributed with an automated installation script.  In
      order for this script to run properly, the Microsoft SNMP Agent must
      be stopped first.  In order to do this issue the following command:

      > NET STOP SNMP

7.    To start the installation process, type SETUP at the command prompt.

8.    The installation process is fully self-directing, and takes about a
      minute to complete.

9.    When setup is complete, restart the Microsoft SNMP Agent using the
      following command:

      > NET START SNMP

Upon successful re-start of the SNMP agent, the RFC1514 and RFC1643 agents
are activated.
