6INSTALLING A NETWORK
DRIVER FOR WINDOWS NT
This chapter describes how to install the NDIS 4
driver for the TokenLink Velocity ISA (3C319) NIC in
Windows NT environments. The NDIS 4 driver conforms
to Microsoft’s latest NDIS 4.0 miniport specification and
provides the following features:
■DynamicAccess Class of Service
■Auto ring speed detection
■Promiscuous mode
The 3C319 NIC NDIS 3 full MAC driver, which is
compatible with Microsoft’s earlier NDIS 3.x specification,
is available on TokenDisk diskette #1 in the \WINNT
subdirectory. However, the features listed above are
available only with the NDIS 4 driver.
Explicit instructions for installing the NDIS 3 driver are
no longer provided in this guide because that driver has
been superseded by the NDIS 4 driver, which provides
additional features such as DynamicAccess Class
of Service.
If you still want to load the NDIS 3 driver, follow the
instructions provided in this guide for the NDIS 4 driver.
When directed to insert TokenDisk diskette #2 (containing
the NDIS 4 driver), you should instead insert TokenDisk
diskette #1, which contains the NDIS 3 driver. In all other
respects, the instructions for installing the NDIS 4 driver
and NDIS 3 driver are nearly identical.
