8  Socket and Card Services Installation in DOS

   In order to enable 16-bit 10Mbps PCMCIA Ethernet PC Card in DOS, 
   you need Card Services, provided by your Notebook PC vendor, 
   and ECARDCS.EXE file, supported in this product package. 
   The following describes an example to enable the PCMCIA PC Card.
 
     C:\CARDSOFT\SS365SL        //Socket Service from System Soft. //
     C:\CARDSOFT\CS             //Card Service from System Soft.//
     C:\CARDSOFT\CSALLOC        //Resource management from System Soft.//
     A:\ECARDCS                 // An enabler program from the product package//

   Note: if you include EMM386.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS, please exclude 
         a memory block, e.g. D400-D7FF from your system. ECARDCS.EXE 
         enabler program uses this space to read Ethernet ID and CIS 
         from on-board flash memory.

     [Example]  DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D400-D7FF  [or]
                DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF

   You may also install Card and Socket Services device driver in your 
   CONFIG.SYS file, please execute ECARDCS.EXE file AFTER those device 
   drivers have been installed. The default configuration is IRQ=5, IO=300. 
   The following contains possible Card Services vendors.

9  Enable Program and its parameters For DOS

   ECARDCS.EXE is an enable program to enable this PCMCIA PC Card. 
   You should install the Socket and Card service in your Notebook 
   BEFORE executing the program, as described in Section 7 above. 
   The program will keep resident to handle card insertion and removal 
   events. This feature can prevent system from crash when the card is 
   removed from socket. The following is the command to execute 
   ECARDCS.EXE with parameters.

      ECARDCS [/IRQ=x][/IO=nnn][/?]                         --DOS command line, or
      DEVICE=[PATHNAME]ECARDCS.EXE [/IRQ=x][/IO=nnn][/?]    --In CONFIG.SYS file.
          where:
          [/IRQ=x]	This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) 
                        where you card will be indicated.
                    	The valid IRQs are 3,4,5,9,10,12,15.
          [/IO=nnn]	This specifies the I/O address. The valid ports are
                    	300,320,340,360.
          [/?]		This specifies to indicate the program to display all 
                        the possible syntax.
      The default syntax is: ECARDCS /IRQ=5 /IO=300
 
10 Netware DOS ODI Driver

   \DOSODI directory contains Ethernet DOS ODI driver, PCODI.COM, 
   that supports NetWare version 3.x and above, NetWare Lite and other 
   ODI interface application. 

   In DOS command prompt, type the following command sequences to install 
   Novel NetWare DOS ODI driver.

     Execute Socket and Card Services  ---- Described on Section 7 above
     ECARDCS [/IRQ=x][/IO=nnn][/?]     ---- An Enable program from diskette
     LSL                               ---- LSL.COM program in \DOSODI
     PCODI                             ---- PCFODI.COM program in \DOSODI
     IPXODI                            ---- IPXODI.COM program in \DOSODI
     NETX                              ---- NETX.COM program in \DOSODI

   Note that PCODI.COM driver needs NET.CFG file, a resource configuration 
   file, to correctly install the driver. The following has the contents 
   of the NET.CFG file. The value after the "port" parameter must be the 
   same as that of the "/IO=" parameter in ECARDCS command. Likewise, 
   the value after the "int" parameter must be the same as that of the 
   "/IRQ=" parameter in EN100CS command described from Section 7. The
   reason is ECARDCS.EXE enables an I/O and IRQ resource and the PCODI.COM 
   driver must use the same resource.

   Below is a sample NET.CFG file:
               LINK DRIVER PCODI
                   port 300
                   int  5
                   Frame Ethernet_II
                   Frame Ethernet_802.3
                   Protocol IPX E0 Ethernet_802.2

11 Packet Driver

   \PKTDRV directory contains this PCMCIA PC Card's packet driver, 
   PCPKT.COM. In DOS command prompt, type the following command 
   sequences to install the packet driver.

      Execute Socket and Card Services    ---- Described on Section 7 above
      ECARDCS.EXE [/IRQ=x][/IO=nnn][/?]   ---- Enable the PC Card program
      PCPKT 0x60 5 300                    ---- PCFPD.COM program in A:\PKTDRV

   The following has the PCPKT.COM command and its parameters. Note 
   that the value of the <io_addr> parameter must be the same as 
   that of the "/IO=" parameter in ECARDCS command. Likewise, the 
   value of the <int_level> parameter must be the same as that of 
   the "/IRQ=" parameter in ECARDCS command. The reason is ECARDCS.EXE 
   enables an I/O and IRQ resource and the PCPKT.COM driver must use the 
   same resource. The following described PCPKT.COM command and its 
   parameters.

      PCPKT [options] <packet_int_no> <int_level> <io_addr>
      where:	[options]
         -i -- Force driver to report itself as IEEE 802.3 instead 
               of Ethernet II.
         -d -- Delayed initialization.  Used for diskless booting
         -n -- NetWare conversion.  Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 
               packets
         -w -- Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt
         -p -- Promiscuous mode disable
         -u -- Uninstall
      <packet_int_no>     This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) 
                          where you'll load the packet driver. It must 
                          be in the range 0x60 to 0x80.
      <int_level>         This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) 
                          where your card will be indicated.
      <io_addr>           This specifies the I/O address .
    
      The following command line loads the Ethernet Packet Driver at 
      software interrupt 60h, at address 300, at hardware interrupt 5.
         PCPKT 0x60 0x5 0x300
         PCPKT 0x60

         Note: The default I/O address is 300 .
         Note: The default hardware interrupt is 5.
         Note: The placement of 0x prior to the parameters.
