A. Software Revision Requirements:
o MS-DOS version 3.31 or above.
o Novell LSL.COM version 2.16 or above.
o Novell IPXODI.COM version 3.02 or above.
o Novell NETX.COM version 1.11 or above.
o Novell VLM.EXE version 1.20B or above.
B. Installing Software:
1. Copy the driver to the NetWare Client directory. For example:
copy A:\NWCLIENT\DC21X4.COM C:\NWCLIENT
2. Edit the NET.CFG file if necessary to select protocol and
media type options.
3. To connect to a server, use the following loading sequence:
LSL
DC21X4
IPXODI
NETX or VLM
C. Parameters
The following parameters can be used in order to control part of
the driver's operation.
These parameters are added to the driver's entry in NET.CFG
For NetWare standard parameters, please refer to NetWare user's
manual.
TP selects TP port.
TP_NO_LINK_TEST selects twisted pair connection, but disables
the LINK test for specific HUBs that do not
support LINK.
TP_FULL_DUPLEX selects twisted pair connection to work in
full duplex mode.
LINE_SPEED selects line speed between 10MPBs and 100MBPs.
Format: LINE_SPEED <value>
Allowed values are: 10,100
AUTOSENSE enables autosensing of media type when driver
is loading (Also called Power-Up Autosense),
and run-time autosensing of media type.
GENERAL_PURPOSE_CONTROL
the user can override the control value in the
GENERAL_PURPOSE register.
Normally, this value should not be changed.
Format: GENERAL_PURPOSE_CONTROL <Hexadecimal Value>
Allowed values: in the range 1FF-0 hex.
GENERAL_PURPOSE_DATA the user can override the data value in
the GENERAL_PURPOSE register.
Normally, this value should not be changed.
Format: GENERAL_PURPOSE_DATA <Hexadecimal Value>
Allowed values: in the range FFFF-0 hex.
RX_BUFFERS Allows the user to select the amount of receive
buffers to work with. More buffers means larger
driver resident in memory but with higher
performance.
Format: RX_BUFFERS <Hexadecimal Value>
Allowed values: in the range 2-10 hex (16 Decimal).
Default values: 10
TX_BUFFERS Allows the user to select the amount of transmit
buffers to work with.
Format: TX_BUFFERS <Hexadecimal Value>
Allowed values: in the range 2-3.
Default value : 3
SNOOZE Changes power-management mode to Power-Saving
mode.
D. Driver selected connection
Driver selected connection is a combination of the Line_Speed selection
and Media type selection.
The following 2 tables describe how does the driver determines the
actual media connection from these two parameters.
First the driver determines the Line_Speed according to the following
table:
+--------------------+----------------------++------------------------+
| Line_Speed |Digital Semiconductor || Actual Line_Speed |
| (From NET.CFG) | chip Number || |
+--------------------+----------------------++------------------------+
| 100 | 21143 || 100 (MBps) |
+--------------------+----------------------++------------------------+
Then the driver determines the connection type according to the
following table:
+--------------------+----------------------++------------------------+
|Requested Connection| Requested LineSpeed || Selected Connection |
| (From NET.CFG) | || |
+--------------------+----------------------++------------------------+
| AUTOSENSE | 10, 100 or None || AUTOSENSE |
| TP | 10 || 10BaseT |
| TP | 100 || 100BaseTX |
| TP_FULL_DUPLEX | 10 || 10BaseT FULL_DUPLEX |
| TP_FULL_DUPLEX | 100 || 100BaseTX FULL_DUPLEX |
| TP_NLT | 10 || 10BaseT NO_LINK_TEST |
| TP_NLT | 100 || 100BaseTX |
+--------------------+----------------------++------------------------+
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
