NetMinder® Ethernet 4.0 Demonstration Read Me
-------------------------------------------
This demonstration copy of NetMinder Ethernet has certain limitations
that are not present in the full application:
• This demonstration only allows data collection for one minute intervals.
At the end of each minute a message will alert you that time has expired.
To begin collecting packets again, click the Collect button.
• This demonstration can only be launched ten times.
• You cannot Save, Print or Export captured data.

Important note about network services:
NetMinder Ethernet needs full access to your Macintosh's Ethernet interface
in order to capture packets from the network. Before running the demo, you
should disconnect from any mail servers and file servers. Also, if you are
using MacTCP, MacIPX, LAT, TSSnet, etc. for connection to non-AppleTalk
devices, you need to remove these files from your Control Panels folder and
restart your Macintosh prior to collecting packets with NetMinder Ethernet.
If you have a second Ethernet interface installed in your Macintosh (such as
a Nubus card), you can avoid disconnecting from network services and removing
applications from your Control Panels folder. To ask NetMinder Ethernet to use
the second interface for collection, start-up NetMinder Ethernet and ignore the
warnings about disabling network services. Then use "Choose Ethernet" under
the "Options" menu to select the second interface.

PCMCIA/Ethernet interface users:
NetMinder Ethernet 4.0 adds support for five PCMCIA Ethernet
adaptors. For these cards to work properly you will most likely
need to load the most current drivers onto your Macintoshes.
For your convenience, we have put together a list of pointers to
where you can find the most current drivers:
Farallon
Driver:
PC Card Installer 1.1ß10 or later
Upload:
http://www.farallon.com/www/gen/softlib.html
Newer Technologies
Driver:
Ethernet Installer 1.4.4 or later
Upload:
http://www.newertech.com/software.html
Dayna
Driver:
CommuniCard Installer v1.2.1 or higher
Upload:
http://www.dayna.com/dayna/techsup/drivers.html
Dayna expects to have this driver available in early October, 1996.
Asante
Driver:
Asanté FriendlyNet PC Card Version - 2.0 or later
Upload:

SCSI/Ethernet interface users:
NetMinder Ethernet supports several SCSI/Ethernet interfaces. These
include: Asanté EN/SC and Mini EN/SC; Compatible Systems Ether+;
Dayna SCSI/Link and Pocket SCSI/Link, Farallon EtherMac SCSI,
Focus/NuvoTech NuvoLink II; Sonic Systems microSCSI; and TechWorks
Ethernet SC. Below are some notes about NetMinder Ethernet support
for these SCSI/Ethernet products:
• The Compatible Systems Ether+, the Focus NuvoLink SC, and the
TechWorks Ethernet SC are not capable of collecting error packets.
• Version 1.42 or higher of the software driver and version 0.1u or higher
of the PROM are required for the Compatible Systems Ether+, the Focus
NuvoLink SC, and the TechWorks Ethernet SC in order for them to work
with NetMinder Ethernet.
• Version 5.2 or higher of the software driver and version D4 or later
of the hardware are required for the Asanté EN/SC in order for it to work
with NetMinder Ethernet.
• When using NetMinder Ethernet with a SCSI/Ethernet device, you should
first use your Network Control Panel to select a non-SCSI network interface
icon (such as Built In LocalTalk). Then use NetMinder Ethernet's Choose
Ethernet command from the Options menu to select the SCSI interface.
(If you use the Asanté EN/SC or Mini EN/SC SCSI/Ethernet device, you can
keep the SCSI interface icon selected in the Network Control Panel.)

Real time packet display note:
The NetMinder Ethernet demo ships, by default, with the option to display
Ethernet headers in real-time. As noted in the User's Manual, this option
can affect NetMinder Ethernet's ability to collect all packets on a busy
network. If your network is busy and capturing all packets is of the highest
priority, please either uncheck the "Display headers during collection" option
in the Data Collection options dialog or check the "High speed display" option
in the Display options dialog.

Quadra built-in Ethernet interface:
NetMinder Ethernet cannot reenable the Ethernet driver on interfaces using
the SONIC chipset (used mainly in the built-in Ethernet in Quadra series
Macintosh computers). If you wish to access the Ethernet (for instance, to
print) after collecting packets on that particular Ethernet interface, you will
need to restart your machine. This can be obviated by installing two Ethernet
interfaces in your machine or by maintaining a separate LocalTalk drop to
your network for printing and other network services.
