     o  One of the synchronous device options supported by VAX WAN
        Device Drivers

     o  One 1600 BPI (PE) magnetic tape drive, TK50 drive or CDROM
        reader available to read the software during installation

     Disk Space Requirements

     Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

     Disk space required for       2,000 blocks
     installation:                 (1M byte)

     The disk space required for use (permanent) depends on the
     number and type of drivers installed, but should not exceed
     the space required for installation.

     These counts refer to the disk space required on the system
     disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending
     on the user's system environment, configuration, and software
     options.

     CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

     This layered product is fully supported when installed on any
     valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration. A device driver
     may only be accessed from the system, or node, containing the
     communications device. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sections of
     this product's Software Product description and System Support
     Addendum detail any special hardware required by this product.

     *  V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the
        VAXcluster Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and in-
        clude CI, Ethernet, and Mixed Interconnect configurations.

     On common disks, in order to configure some product specific
     attributes that must remain unique to each system, certain
     components of the product are stored in the system specific
     environment (SYS$SPECIFIC: [SYSxxx]) of the VAX computer on
     which the installation is being performed. The remaining compo-
     nents of the product, including some or all of the executable
     images, will be installed common to all accessing VAX systems.

     Though some or all of the product's executable images will
     exist in the common system directory (SYS$COMMON:[SYSLDR])
     and be executable by all VAX computers sharing this directory,
     it is essential that the product be installed separately on
     all VAXcluster or Local Area VAXcluster licensed VAX systems
     requiring access in order to uniquely configure the product for
     each.

     The same version of VAX WAN Device Drivers must be used on all
     systems in VAXcluster systems accessing a common disk and in
     Local Area VAXcluster configurations.

     ________________________________________________________________            Notes

     Notes:

     o  Where two line speeds are shown, for example 256/64, the
        higher speed refers to single line operation of the device
        while the lower speed refers to dual line operation of the
        device.

     o  The DMB32 (SIDRIVER) only supports a synchronous line speed
        of 19.2 Kbps if any asynchronous lines are in use. On BI
        machines and machines which use an XMI to VAXBI adapter, the
        maximum synchronous line speed is 38.4 Kbps.

     o  The DMF32 (XGDRIVER) is supported on a VAXBI system fitted
        with a DWBUA UNIBUS adapter for DDCMP and Genbyte protocol
        use only.

     o  The DMR11 (XMDRIVER) is supported on a VAXBI system fitted
        with a DWBUA UNIBUS adapter. Refer to the DECnet-VAX SPD
        (25.03.xx) for more information.

     o  The DMV11 (XDDRIVER) also supports DDCMP multipoint con-
        troller operation.

     VAX Wide Area Network (WAN) Device Drivers, VersioSSA.29.64.02-A



     o  There are three Device Drivers for the DPV11 (UEDRIVER,
        UGDRIVER and UHDRIVER), one for each supported protocol.
        Only one Device Driver may be used at a time.

     o  The DSH32 (ZSDRIVER) running the DDCMP protocol only supports
        a single line at 9.6 Kbps on a MicroVAX 2000.

     o  The DSV11 (SJDRIVER), DSB32 (SIDRIVER) and DSF32 (SF/SMDRIVER)
        support the use of different protocols on each of the two
        lines of the device.

     o  There are two Device Drivers for the DUP11 (XJDRIVER and
        XWDRIVER), one for each supported protocol. Only one Device
        Driver may be used at a time.

     o  The DUP11 (XJDRIVER for Bisync) is supported on a VAXBI
        system fitted with a DWBUA UNIBUS adapter for VAX 8200, VAX
        8250, VAX 8300, VAX 8350, VAX 8500, VAX 8530, VAX 8550, VAX
        8700 and VAX 8800 systems only.

     o  The KMS11-BD is an eight-line device. All eight lines can
        be used at the maximum permitted line speed. Refer to the
        Load Tables contained in the VAX P.S.I. Software Product
        Description for Load Units for this device.

     o  Only the RS232 variant of the KMV1A is supported by the this
        Device Driver.

     o  There are alternative device drivers available for the KMS11-
        BD, KMS1P and KMV1A, which have a supported User ($QIO)
        interface. These are not included with the VAX WAN Device
        Drivers. Contact your local Digital office for more informa-
        tion.
