Driver Installation - Microsoft Windows 95 Driver ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Siemens OfficeLAN PCI 10/100 TX Fast Ethernet Adapter Microsoft Windows 95 NDIS v3.0 Driver INSTALLATION GUIDE ============================================================================= CONTENTS ============================================================================= * Important Considerations * System Requirements * Files Provided * Hardware Installation Guide * Device Driver Installation Guide * Setting Driver Parameters ============================================================================= IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS ============================================================================= * This driver supports the Siemens OfficeLAN PCI 10/100 TX Fast Ethernet Adapter. ============================================================================= SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ============================================================================= Hardware Requirements: * IBM-compatible personal computer (PC), 80486 or higher with PCI bus supporting bus master mode. * Siemens OfficeLAN PCI 10/100 TX Fast Ethernet Adapter. Software Requirements: * Windows 95 or later ============================================================================= FILES PROVIDED ============================================================================= * L100.SYS NDIS 3.0 Driver * L100.DOS NDIS 2.0 Driver * L100.INF Driver's setup file. ============================================================================= HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE ============================================================================= * See the User Guide for complete installation instructions. * When installing the Siemens OfficeLAN PCI 10/100 TX Fast Ethernet Adapter in a PCI computer, make sure the slot you select supports bus master operations. * No specialized setup is necessary for motherboards with automatic PCI parameterization (most new PCs support it). * For motherboards with bus master jumpers and interrupt jumpers for PCI slots: 1. Using the appropriate motherboard jumper, enable bus master operations for the selected PCI slot. 2. Using the appropriate motherboard jumper, select the interrupt to the selected PCI slot. 3. Using your computer setup menu: * Enable the bus master on the PCI slot. * Enable I/O on the PCI slot. * Define the interrupt number on the PCI slot. ============================================================================= DEVICE DRIVER INSTALLATION GUIDE ============================================================================= Proceed as follows to install the driver into WIndows 95. 1. Select "My computer" icon. 2. Select "Control Panel" icon. 3. Issue "Add New Hardware" option to install driver. 4. Select "Install specific hardware" option. 5. Select "Network Adadpters" option. 6. When prompt for full path of the driver, type "A:\WIN95". 7. Select "Siemens OfficeLAN PCI 10/100 TX Fast Ethernet Adapter" option, and then click the "OK" button. ============================================================================= DEVICE DRIVER PARAMETERS LIST ============================================================================= ConnectionType: ConnctionType specified the oepration speed of the adapter. It is recommanded that user selects the AUTODETCT mode. In autodetect mode, the adapter detects the link partner's abilities and chooses the highest available speed automatically. Available options: o AUTODETECT In AUTODETECT mode the driver supports run-time auto swap function. You can auto swap during run time from one hub to another. o TP_10 10Base-T Half-Duplex mode o TP_10+Full_Duplex 10Base-T Full-Duplex mode o TP_100_X 100Base-Tx Half-Duplex mode o TP_100_X+Full_Duplex 100Base-Tx Full-Duplex mode TxThreshold: This parameter controls the bytes of data read from the host memory into adapter's transmit FIFO before the transmitting operation starting. The smaller the TxThreshold the better the transmitting performance is. But smaller TxThreshold also increases the possibility of transmit under flow. If transmit under flow does occur frequently, the driver will increase the TxThreshold automatically. It is recommanded that the user choose an appropricated TxThreshold value according to the PC's speed. Available values: o Store and Forward Disable the transmit threshold control. The adapter reads the whole frame from the host memory to transmit FIFO first, then starts to transmit. o 36 Bytes o 72 Bytes o 96 Bytes o128 Bytes o160 Bytes o256 Bytes ============================================================================= DEVICE DRIVER ERROR MESSAGES LIST ============================================================================= L100_ERRMSG_REGISTRY 0x01 L100_ERRMSG_ALLOC_MEMORY 0x02 L100_ERRMSG_SROM 0x03 L100_ERRMSG_MEDIA 0x04 L100_ERRMSG_LOAD_CAM 0x05 L100_ERRMSG_SYSTEM_ERROR 0x06 L100_ERRMSG_TXM_JABBER_TIMEOUT 0x07 ============================================================================= Driver initialization errors: ============================================================================= o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_UNSUPPORTED_CONFIGURATION L100_ERRMSG_REGISTRY The AdapterType Registry's key is missing or its value is unsupported by the adapter board o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_ADAPTER_NOT_FOUND No board matching the AdapterCFID Registry's key value was found plugged into the PCI bus or in the slot specified in the Registry o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES L100_ERRMSG_ALLOC_MEMORY Not enough memory to allocate space for the Adapter data block o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_INVALID_VALUE_FROM_ADAPTER L100_ERRMSG_SROM Invalid data read from the adapter's serial ROM o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_NETWORK_ADDRESS No readable burnt_in or software configured station address o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_UNSUPPORTED_CONFIGURATION L100_ERRMSG_MEDIA The selected media port is not supported by the board. o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_INTERRUPT_CONNECT Interrupt initialization failed o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_TIMEOUT L100_ERRMSG_LOAD_CAM L100 CAM initialization failed ============================================================================= Driver run time errors: ============================================================================= o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_HARDWARE_FAILURE L100_ERRMSG_SYSTEM_ERROR System_Error interrupt (bus parity error) o NDIS_ERROR_CODE_HARDWARE_FAILURE L100_ERRMSG_TXM_JABBER_TIMEOUT Transmit Jabber timer expired ============================================================================= This software and documentation have restricted rights: their use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to the restrictions in: * DFARS 252.227-7013 Subparagraph (c) (1) (ii) Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause * FAR 52.227-14 Alternate III Rights in Data -- General clause * FAR 52.227-19 Subparagraphs (c) (1) and (2) Commercial Computer Software -- Restricted Rights clause Other product and company names are registered trademarks or trademarks of their respective holders.
