Requirements:
-------------

	Microdyne WNIM3000 OS/2 Device Driver

	WinView for Networks ver 2.3
	



Installation
============================================

1. Hardware Installation
   
   Please refer to the "WNIM3000 Adapter Quick Installation Guide"
   for details.  You need to select I/O port address by DIP switch settings.


2. Software Installation
   
   A. Copying the device driver files to hard disk
   
   The driver consists of the following two files:
   WNIM3.SYS    - WNIM3000 OS/2 driver file
   ACE_II.BIN   - WNIM3000 firmware file
   
   Copy these two files into the \OS2 directory.


   B. Loading the device driver

   The device driver is loaded from a single comand line in CONFIG.SYS.
   The general format of the command line is:

   DEVICE=d:\OS2\WNIM3.SYS /P:port /M:mem [/N:names] [/B:baud] [/D:data_type]

   Mandatory parameters:
   ---------------------
    d:    Drive letter on which WinView resides.
   
   /P:port 
	Defines the I/O port address as selected by DIP switch settings.
   
   /M:mem
	Defines the 8k window base memory address.  Please refer to the "WNIM3000
	     Adapter Quick Installation Guide" for possible addresses.

   Optional parameters:
   --------------------
   /N:names 
	Defines the naming convention to be used the the WNIM3000 ports.  names
	consists of an optional "stem" followed by the starting port number.
	The stem must be enclosed in double-quotes ("").  If the stem is 
	ommitted, "COM" will be used.  If the number is ommitted, "3" will be
	assumed.  If the /N parameter is not specified, the defult name COM3 
	will be assigned to the first port.  Please note that the port number,
	if specified must be a decimal-based number.  Also note that the total 
	number of characters of a port name must be no more than 8 characters.

	Examples:
	/N:"WNIM"1
	    WNIM1, WNIM2, WNIM3, WNIM4, WNIM5, WNIM6, WNIM7, WNIM8

	
	/N:5
	    COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, COM10, COM11, COM12 


	/N:"WNIM"
	    WNIM3, WNIM4, WNIM5, WNIM6, WNIM7, WNIM8, WNIM9, WNIM10


    /D:data_type
	Initialize all ports to the specified data type (parity, character
	length and number of stop bits).  If this parameter is ommitted, the
	OS/2 default data type of even parity, 7 data bits and 1 stop will be 
	used.  The syntax is pds, where p is E (even parity), O (odd parity) 
	or N (no parity), d is 8, 7, 6 or 5, and s is 1 or 2.  All three 
	values must be specified, in the correct order.
	
	Examples:
	/D:N81
	    initialize all ports to no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.

    /B:baud 
	Sets the default baud rate to be used for all ports.  If this 
	parameter is not specified, all ports will be set to the OS/2 default
	of 1200 baud.   The available baud rate are:

	600, 1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 3600, 4800,
	7200, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200

	Examples:
	/B:9600
	    initialize all ports to 9600 baud.

   C. Creating WinView Workstation SubSystem
     1. Start "Config Terminal"
     2. Highlight "System Profile" and press <Insert>
     3. Give a Title to the entry, and a filename.
     4. For DLL, enter "SSDHCOM"
     5. For "First Device Name", enter the starting device name as created
	on the command line entry in the config.sys file (ie, WNIM1)
     6. For "Number of Devices", enter the number of ports (ie, 8)
     7. For "Network Based", select No.
     8. Press <Enter> to save this entry.
     9. Create the terminals under this subsystem as per the WinView
	System Administrator's Guide.
