Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows 3.x Please refer to Content C., in step 2, mark "Netware Client 32 for DOS" and "Client 32 for Windows", then follow step 3..8 to complete the installation. E. Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows 95 If you have installed the Microsoft Client in your Windows 95 system, you should remove the adapter object and NDIS 2/3 driver for the CN100TX(E) adapter from Windows 95 system. No matter if you have installed the DEC DC21x4 based driver or CN100TX(E) NDIS 2/3 driver, before you install CN100TX(E) Client 32 driver, you should take the following steps. E.1 Remove (Unplug) CN100TX(E) adapter from your PCI slot, & remove WIN95 drivers of DECchip 21143 or CN100TX(E) ===================================================== 1. Click the "My Computer" icon in the Main Program Group. 2. Click the "Control Panel" icon in My Computer window. 3. Click the "System" icon in the Control Panel window. 4. Click the "Network adapter" icon in System window. 5. Click the "PCI Fast Ethernet DECchip 21143 Based Adapter" or "CNet CN100TX(E) 100/10M Fast Ethernet Adapter" icon in System window. 6. Click button, then click button. 7. Close the opened windows. Note: If you NEVER pluged an CN100TX(E) PCI adapter into your PC, Procedure E.1 is not necessary. And you just start from Procedure E.2. E.2 Install the Client 32 driver installation information file ========================================================== 8. Switch to an MS-DOS Command Prompt window. 9. Insert the CN100TX(E) Driver Diskette into your PC's floppy drive (A: or B:) 10. Type the following DOS commands: CD \WINDOWS\INF RENAME NETPCI.INF *.IN_ RENAME CN100E.INF *.IN_ COPY A:\LANDRV32\CN100E.INF EXIT Notice: The above commands are collected in the SetWin95.BAT file in the directory \LANDRV32. That is you can execute the following program to install the Client 32 driver installation information file. A:\LANDRV32\SETWIN95 C:\WINDOWS where C:\WINDOWS is your Windows 95 system directory. 11. Shutdown and turn off the machine. E.3 Client 32 Driver Installation on Windows 95 ===================================================== 12. Plug CN100TX(E) adapter into one of the Master PCI slots of your PCI platform. 13. Turn the power on and then boot from Windows 95. 14. Windows 95 will prompt with PCI Ethernet Controller in the New Hardware Found dialog box. 15. Windows 95 will prompt with "CNet CN100TX(E) 100/10M Fast Ethernet Adapter" in the New Hardware Found dialog box. 16. Follow instructions to complete the installation. Note: Windows 95 will ask you to key in the proper path of the following diskette: a. NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 Disk: Insert CN100TX(E) driver diskette to drive A: or B:, then type A:\LANDRV32 or B:\LANDRV32. b. Type your Windows 95 CD-ROM directory to install Windows 95 network protocols. F. Parameter Description for CN100E.LAN The following parameters are used in CN100E.LAN. 1. SLOT: specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple CN100TX(E) adapters are found in your computer. The SLOT keyword is an index value corresponding to PCI BIOS. The value of SLOT is different from one machine to the other. Ex: LOAD CN100E SLOT=10001 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 LOAD CN100E SLOT=10004 FRAME=ETHERNET_II 2. FRAME : specifies which frame type is used by the driver. Accepted values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II and Ethernet_SNAP. Multiple frame types can be enabled by the driver by loading the same driver with different FRAME types. Ex: LOAD CN100E FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 LOAD CN100E FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 LOAD CN100E FRAME=ETHERNET_II LOAD CN100E FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP 3. NODE : Use a different address to replace the node address burned in EEPROM. Ex: LOAD CN100E NODE=0200E8001122 4. Attachment: Specifies the connection type of the CN100TX(E) adapter. Default value is AUTODETECT. Driver Parameters Description ================= ===================================== AUTODETECT (Autodetect) for CN100TX(E), run-time autosenses the connection type and line speed. TP (Twisted Pair) Connector type is RJ-45. When Line_Speed=10, it is 10BaseT and when Line_Speed=100, it is 100BaseTx. TP_FULL_DUPLEX (Twisted pair - Full Duplex) Connector is RJ-45 with Full Duplex mode enabled. The throughput is 20Mbps for 10BaseT and 200Mbps for 100BaseTx. TP_NO_LINK_TEST (Twisted pair with link test disabled) Connector is RJ-45, but the link test function of the transceiever is disabled. This function should be enabled if your repeater does not support the link test function. Ex: LOAD CN100E TP LOAD CN100E TP LINE_SPEED=100 LOAD CN100E BNC LOAD CN100E AUTODETECT LOAD CN100E TP_FULL_DUPLEX LINE_SPEED=100 5. LINE_SPEED: (Line_Speed) Specify the speed of your network adapter. Accepted values are 10 and 100. No default value is assigned. 6. TURBO : (Turbo mode) Enhances the performance when your PCI platform uses DEC chip. 7. SNOOZE : (Snooze mode) With CN100TX(E) new NIC, Snooze mode can reduce power consumption. The NIC stops most of its internal clock operation except when network activity is detected. This is not a default function of GFC07.LAN. 8. CAPTURE_EFFECT: (Enables the function for solving the Capture Effect problem.) The driver offers a vendor supported function to avoid starvation when multiple collisions occur on the line. But this function is not part of the Ethernet SPEC. You can use this parameter to enable the function. -- End of File --
