The parameter 'full' and 'half' is used to set the full duplex function of the 840 adapter. This adapter can be in half or full duplex mode. So 'full' and 'half' do not co-exist. In half duplex mode, the RL100ATX can only either transmit or receive. In full duplex mode, the RL100ATX can transmit and receive at the same time. If user does not set 'full' or 'half' in the command line, this driver will auto detect the full duplex function. 2. The parameter 'ls' is used to set the line speed. This adapter can operate in 10Mbps or 100Mbps. The accepted values is 10(10Mbps) or 100(100Mbps). If user does not set this parameter, this driver will auto detect the line speed. 3. The parameter 'bl' is used to set burst length. The default value of the burst length is 6. Burst Length defines the maximum number of long words that can be transferred within one PCI burst transaction. The supported values are are 1(1 longword), 2(2 longwords), 3(4 longwords), 4(8 longwords), 5(16 longwords) and 6(32 longwords). 4. The parameter 'ca' is used to set cache alignment. The default value of cache alignment is 3. Cache Alignment defines the address boundary for data burst. The supported values are 1(8 longword alignment), 2(16 longword alignment) and 3(32 longword alignment)." 5. The parameter 'tt' is used to set transmit threshold. The default value of transmit threshold is 0. This value decides the transmit threshold level of the transmit FIFO. Transmission will start 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 6. [packet_int_no] is the software interrupt number where packet driver is loaded. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80 (including 0x60 and 0x80). The default value is 0x60. The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so don't load the packet driver there!) 7. [packet_int_no] must be specified after [-u] when unloading the packet driver. Example: The following command line loads the Compex RL100ATX 10/100Base-TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h. RL100APD 0x60 After the Packet Driver is loaded, you can run the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE. The PC is then ready for PC/TCP communications. To run PC/TCP applications, You need to load PC/TCP Kernel ("ETHDRV.EXE"). a. Refer to PC/TCP manual, Command Reference section, Chapter 2.3. b. The following example will load the Kernel and allocate 8 packet buffers. Increasing the # of packet buffers (from the default of 5) prevents dropping packets due to a buffer shortage. ETHDRV -p 8 c. At this point, you are ready to run PC/TCP applications (e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet'). example ftp 130.172.24.101 , 130.172.24.101 is host address. Regard to host address , you must know its address. To unload the packet driver The example below assumed pkt_int_no = 0x60 e.g. C:\> RL100PD -u 0x60
