1.  Overview
============
The Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI and SNMP allows any DMI or SNMP 
based management application to communicate with your Intel adapter.  
Intel uses an industry standard and approved DMI-to-SNMP mapping
application to allow SNMP management applications access to the DMI data 
provided by the Intel Client Instrumentation. As a result, the 
information available to both DMI and SNMP based management applications
is identical.


2. System Requirements
======================
Any Intel NDIS PCI adapter driver
Intel DMI 2.0 Service Provider
Microsoft SNMP Service
Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI and SNMP

Because Intel uses an industry standard DMI-to-SNMP mapping application 
to support SNMP, you must have both the Microsoft SNMP Service and an 
Intel DMI 2.0 Service Provider installed and running before installing 
the Intel Client Instrumentation package. Contact your Network
Administrator if you need help installing either of these.

If you plan to use SNMP management applications exclusively and do not 
have an Intel DMI 2.0 Service Provider installed, you can use the 
Intel DMI 2.0 Service Provider available elsewhere on this CD.  To
install this Service Provider, run ..\DMI_SP\WIN32\INSTALL.BAT. 

The Intel Client Instrumentation supports all Intel PCI PRO/100 and 
PRO/1000 adapters.  If you are running an NDIS based driver under 
Windows NT 4.0, there is no need to install any new drivers to get full
DMI and SNMP support.


3. Installation
===============

We provide two methods you may use to install the Intel Client
Instrumentation.  Both methods provide the same DMI and SNMP
functionality after installation.

Method 1:  Push button install
------------------------------
1. Make sure your Intel PCI network adapter, its appropriate NDIS 
   adapter driver, the Microsoft SNMP Service, and an Intel DMI 2.0
   Service Provider are installed and running on your computer.

2. From the SNMP directory on your CD, run \SNMP\WIN32\SNMPINST.EXE.

3. If prompted, restart your computer. The Intel Client Instrumentation
   does not require you to restart your computer, but restarting may be
   required by other support services.

Method 2:  Network Control Panel Install
----------------------------------------
1. Make sure the Intel PCI network adapter and its appropriate NDIS 
   adapter driver, the Microsoft SNMP Service, and an Intel DMI 2.0
   Service Provider are installed and running on your computer.

2. From the Windows NT 4.0 Control Panel, start the Network Control 
   Panel.

3. Click the Services tab.

4. Click Add Services.

5. Click Have Disk

6. Type in the location of the \SNMP\WIN32 directory on your Intel 
   adapter CD (example, if your CD drive is D:, type D:\SNMP\WIN32).

7. Select "Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI and SNMP" and click OK.

8. If prompted, restart your computer.  The Intel Client Instrumentation 
   does not require you to restart your computer, but restarting may be 
   required by other support services.


4. Uninstall Procedure
======================
Depending on the installation method you used, there are two ways to 
uninstall the Intel Client Instrumentation:   

Method 1:  Uninstall for the push button install
------------------------------------------------
1. From the Windows NT 4.0 Control Panel, double-click the Add/Remove 
   icon.

2. Select "Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI and SNMP"

3. Click the Add/Remove button.

Method 2:  Uninstall for the Network Control Panel Install
----------------------------------------------------------
1. From the Windows NT 4.0 Control Panel, double-click the Network 
   Control Panel.

2. Click the Services tab.

3. Select the "Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI and SNMP" service.

4. Click the Remove button.


5. Usage with SNMP Management Applications
==========================================
In order to access the SNMP data through the Intel Client 
Instrumentation, you must load the files INTEL.MIB and INTELNIC.MIB, 
located in the \SNMP\WIN32 directory, from within your
SNMP Management Application. If you have already installed another 
version of INTEL.MIB, use the INTEL.MIB with the most recent file date. 
Read the documentation for your Management Application for more
information.


6. Supported Standards
======================
The Intel Client Instrumentation Version 2.0 fully supports the DMI 2.0 
specification and has support for Ether-Like SNMP MIBs referenced in
RFC1650.


7. Known Issues
===============
1. In order to use Hewlett Packard OpenView* Network Node Manager with 
   the Intel Client Instrumentation, you must use Release 5.0x with 
consolidated patch NM_00046.EXE. This patch can be downloaded from 
   http://ovweb.external.hp.com/cpe/patches/index.html

2. To remove the Intel DMI 2.0 Service Provider after installing the 
   Intel Client Instrumentation, you must uninstall the Intel Client 
   Instrumentation first. 

3. If you are running Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3, you may have 
   problems installing the Microsoft SNMP Service.  This is a known and 
   documented issue with Service Pack 3. If you install the Microsoft 
   SNMP Service after Service Pack 3, you may receive the error 
   "Entrypoint SnmpSvcGetEnterpriseOID could not be located 
   in snmpapi.dll." To fix this problem, you will need to reinstall 
   Service Pack 3. Details are available from Microsoft at:
   http://support.microsoft.com/support/ntserver/content/servicepacks/
   readme.asp

   Read the section under 3.0 USER NOTES, 3.2 Adding New Components to 
   the System.

4. Version 2.0 of the Intel Client Instrumentation may not install 
   correctly over Version 1.0 of the Intel DMI Network Adapter 
   Instrumentation Layer. The Uninstall feature may not work correctly 
   after upgrading. In order to install Version 2.0 correctly, we 
   strongly recommend that you use the documented Uninstall procedures 
   for Version 1.0 prior to running the Version 2.0 installation. 

5. After uninstalling using Network Control Panel, restart the machine 
   if prompted.

6.  If your TCP/IP protocol is removed after installing the Intel Client 
   Instrumentation, 
   you must reinstall the Intel Client Instrumentation after you 
   reinstall the TCP/IP protocol to regain functionality.

7.  If your Microsoft SNMP Service is removed after installing the Intel 
   Client Instrumentation, you must reinstall the Intel Client 
   Instrumentation after you reinstall the Microsoft SNMP Service to 
   regain functionality.
