If you install Newt networking software on a token ring network on Windows 3.1,
the Newt installation procedure must be modified slightly. When prompted for the
interface type in the “Add Interface” dialog box, use the list pull-down control to
display the other types. From the type list, select “Token Ring”, then hit the OK
button on the dialog box.
Continuing with the Newt setup, when the hardware selection dialog is presented,
you will see only Token Ring network adapters in the list. Select your adapter or
select “Other” for hardware that is not on the list. If you choose other, you need to
enter information from the hardware vendor documentation in the Section Name
and Driver Name fields in the hardware setup dialog box. You will also be asked
to enter the file name of the driver. Consult the Newt documentation for more
information on this.
Once hardware setup is complete, continue the installation.
Newt Networking Software I-17.
If you are running Windows 3.1 and do not already have a TCP/IP protocol stack,
you can purchase and install Newt Networking Software, option 2640A-913. Read
the following sections to decide whether you need the Newt software, then use the
installation instructions later in this appendix. Before installing Newt software,
review the following checklist to make sure your network is ready for this
installation.
Ethernet Adapter For most general networks, an Ethernet adapter will already
have been installed on the host computer. If this is not the case, one of the
recommended Ethernet adapters for your host computer may be purchased from
Fluke as an option. See “Installing the Host Computer Ethernet Adapter” before
proceeding with the Newt software installation.
Driver for Ethernet Adapter If you intend to interoperate (communicate over
the same Ethernet adapter hardware and wiring) with your existing network
software, and this software (including Ethernet adapter driver) is already installed
and operating, one of the following conditions must be met:
•
An NDIS or ODI driver is already installed and configured to support the
existing network but a TCP/IP stack is not installed.
•
A driver other than an NDIS or ODI driver is used by the existing network
software. In this case, you will need to upgrade your networking software to
accommodate an NDIS or ODI driver. Consult your local network
administrator or your network software vendor for information on this
upgrade. Once the NDIS or ODI driver is in use, the Newt software can be
installed.
•
If your Ethernet adapter is newly installed, run the manufacturer’s installation
program to install the NDIS and/or ODI drivers.
