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.MIB and
RFC1514.MIB.

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

RFC1514.MIB 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.    Run the COPYDLL.BAT file to copy the SNMP Management DLLs to your
      Windows NT System 32 area.

      > COPYDLL

6.    COPYDLL chooses the correct DLL files for the specific CPU upon which
      you are running Windows NT.  These files are copied to your Windows NT
      root area in the System32 subdirectory.

7.    The next steps involve using the Registry Editor to add and modify
      registry entries.  Start the registry editor by issuing the following
      command from a DOS CMD window.

      > START REGEDT32

8.    From the Registry Editor main window, select the window titled:

	"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine"

9.    From the directory tree under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, locate the SOFTWARE
      key, and expand it by double clicking on the folder icon next to
      SOFTWARE.

10.   Under the SOFTWARE key, locate an entry for
      DigitalEquipmentCorporation.  If such an entry does not exist, create
      the key by using the Add Key operation under the Edit menu.  When
      prompted for the key name, enter DigitalEquipmentCorporation, and leave
      the class entry blank.  Click OK to add the key.  Pay close attention
      to letter case, as all registry entries are case sensitive.

      Once you have located the DigitalEquipmentCorporation key, expand
      it by double clicking on the directory icon next to it.  Note that if
      you just created the key, the folder will open, but there will be no
      entries inside it.

11.   Under the DigitalEquipmentCorporation key, add two new keys.  Use the
      Add Key operation under the Edit menu to add the keys:

	RFC1514Agent
	RFC1643Agent

      Again, pay close attention to the case.  For both keys, leave the class
      name blank.

12.   Open the RFC1514Agent key by double clicking on it.  Use the Add Key
      operation from the Edit menu to add the following key under
      the RFC1514Agent key:

	CurrentVersion

      Again, case is important, and the class name should be left blank.

13.   Click on the CurrentVersion key under RFC1514Agent to open the key.
      Use the ADD VALUE operation under the Edit menu to add a VALUE to
      this key.  The Value Name should be:

	Pathname

      Use the pull down combo box control on the Data Type to select:

	REG_EXPAND_SZ

      Click OK.  You will be prompted for a String, enter the following:

	%SystemRoot%\System32\RFC1514.DLL

      Click OK.  This will add the value.  The add value dialog box and the
      string dialog boxes will be dismissed, and the Pathname value you just
      added will appear on the right side of the registry editor window.
      Ensure that the entry looks like this:

      Pathname:REG_EXPAND_SZ:%SystemRoot%\System32\RFC1514.DLL

14.   Open the RFC1643Agent key by double clicking on it.  Use the Add Key
      operation from the Edit menu to add the following key under
      the RFC1643Agent key:

	CurrentVersion

      Again, case is important, and the class name should be left blank.

15.   Click on the CurrentVersion key under RFC1643Agent to open the key.
      Use the ADD VALUE operation under the Edit menu to add a VALUE to
      this key.  The Value Name should be:

	Pathname

      Use the pull down combo box control on the Data Type to select:

	REG_EXPAND_SZ

      Click OK.  You will be prompted for a String, enter the following:

	%SystemRoot%\System32\RFC1643.DLL

      Click OK.  This will add the value.  The add value dialog box and the
      string dialog boxes will be dismissed, and the Pathname value you just
      added will appear on the right side of the registry editor window.
      Ensure that the entry looks like this:

      Pathname:REG_EXPAND_SZ:%SystemRoot%\System32\RFC1643.DLL

16.   Collapse the entiry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE tree by scrolling to the top
      of the registry tree, and double clicking on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
      key.  Double click on the HKEY_LOCAL_MAHCINE key again, to expand
      the first level of the tree.

17.   Locate the SYSTEM key, and double click on it to expand it.

18.   Locate the CurrentControlSet key, and double click on it to expand it.

19.   Locate the Services key, and double click on it to expand it.

20.   Locate the SNMP key, and double click on it to expand it.

21.   Locate the Parameters key, and double click on it to expand it.

22.   Locate the ExtensionAgents key, and double click on it to expand it.

23.   Under the ExtensionAgents key, you will see at least two extension
      agents defined on the right side of the registry editor window.  Look
      down the list of variables defined under the ExtensionAgents key, and
      you will notice that they are numbered sequentially.

24.   Use the Add Value operation under the Edit menu to add a new value
      under the ExtensionAgents key.  When prompted for the Value Name, enter
      the next number sequentially from the list of values, for example:

	3

      For the Data Type, select REG_SZ, and click OK.

25.   When prompted for the String, enter the following, paying close
      attention to letter case.

	SOFTWARE\DigitalEquipmentCorporation\RFC1514Agent\CurrentVersion

      Click OK to dismiss the Add Value dialog boxes, and add the value to
      the registry.  When done, the value shown on the right side of the
      registry editor window should look like the following:

  3:REG_SZ:SOFTWARE\DigitalEquipmentCorporation\RFC1514Agent\CurrentVersion

26.   Again, use the Add Value operation under the Edit menu to add a new
      value under the ExtensionAgents key.  When prompted for the Value
      Name, enter the next number sequentially from the list of values, for
      example:

	4

      For the Data Type, select REG_SZ, and click OK.

27.   When prompted for the String, enter the following, paying close
      attention to letter case.

	SOFTWARE\DigitalEquipmentCorporation\RFC1643Agent\CurrentVersion

      Click OK to dismiss the Add Value dialog boxes, and add the value to
      the registry.  When done, the value shown on the right side of the
      registry editor window should look like the following:

  4:REG_SZ:SOFTWARE\DigitalEquipmentCorporation\RFC1643Agent\CurrentVersion

28.   Select the Exit operation from the Registry menu to exit the Registry
      Editor application.

29.   Issure the following command from a DOS CMD window to stop and restart
      the SNMP agent.

      > NET STOP SNMP
      > NET START SNMP

At this point, the RFC1514 and RFC1643 agents should be activated.  The SNMP
agent issues a message on the status of the start request, indicating either
success or failure.  If the restart fails, double check the registry entries,
and verify that the SNMP Management DLLs have been properly copied to the
Windows NT System32 subdirectory.
