Insert the driver diskette into a drive and enter correct source drive letter. Then SETUP will create the appropriate directory and transfer the driver from the diskette. After this step, the driver is loaded. If you want to change the existing driver, then you should go through the following steps: d) Choose "View/Modify" from the top manual bar. e) Press [ENTER] until you find the "Network Drivers" manual. In this manual, you will find the existing network driver configuration and all network adapters and protocols which it supports. f) Remove the existing configuration by choosing "Remove". g) Select "Compex RL100ATX 10/100Base-TX PCI Ethernet Adapter" in the "Network adapter card" box and choose the appropriate protocol layer in the "Protocol" box. h) Choose "Add Driver" to add a hardware driver and "Add Protocol" to add a protocol driver to the "Network Configuration" box. i) Then choose "Done" to exit to the main manual. j) Before exiting the SETUP program, choose "Save" from the "Actions" box to update the changes you have made. 2) LAN Manager 2.1/2.2 ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ The setup procedures for LAN Manager 2.1 is similar to LAN Manager 2.0. Follow the procedure listed below to perform your installation. a) Start the SETUP program. b) Choose "Configuration" from the top manual bar. c) Choose "Network Drivers" to enter to the "Workstation Configuration" box. d) Choose "Add New Config" to check the existing network adapter drivers. e) Select "Other Driver" to import the driver from the diskette. Insert the driver diskette into a drive and enter correct source drive letter. Then SETUP will create the appropriate directory and transfer the driver from the diskette. Parameters supported: SELECTEDID = This parameter is necessary when your system is equipped with multiple RL100ATX cards. For each driver, you must assign a unique physical address. The value of this parameter is a hexadecimal string of 12 digits quoted by a pair of single quotation marks ('). e.g. SELECTEDID = '008048d60000' LineSpeed = This adapter can be operated in 10 or 100 Mbps. Valid values: 0 * (auto detect line speed by s/w), 10M (10Mbps connection) 100M (100Mbps connection) e.g. LineSpeed = 1000M FullDuplex = "AUTO" This adapter can be in full or half duplex mode. VAlid values : "AUTO" * (auto detect full duplex function), "DISABLE" (disable full duplex), "ENABLE" (enable full duplex). e.g. to forced 100Mbps half-duplex conection LineSpeed = 100M FullDuplex = "DISABLE" * Note: Adjusting these parameter below can cause unpredictable result. In certain cases can cause the system to hang. CacheAlign = Cache Alignmane defines the address boundary for data burst. Valid values: 1 (8 longword alignmet), 2 (16 longword alignment) 3 * (32 longword alignment). e.g. CacheAlign = 3 Burst = Burst Length defines the maximum number of long words that can be transferred within one PCI burst transaction. Valid values: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, *32 e.g. Burst = 32 TxThreshold = This value decides the transmit threshold level of the transmit FIFO. Transmission will starts immediately after the transmit FIFO has reached the threshold level or full pkt has been transferred to the transmit FIFO if the frame length is less than the transmit threshold level. TxThreshold Transmit Threshold Level 00H * full pkt 01H 16 bytes 02H 32 bytes -- -- 7FH 2032 bytes" Valid value: 00h,01h,02h,....7FH e.g. TxThreshold = 0
