Introduction:
=============
The Ethernet Driver for SCOUNIX confirms to the SCOUNIX LLI driver package
format. This document shows you how to setup the SCOUNIX driver and how to
use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords in configuration
file.
Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================
P916.TAR The SCOUNIX driver installation package in TAR format.
SCOUNIX.TXT This file.
Installation:
=============
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
(A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.
Installation by using SCOUNIX custom utility:
---------------------------------------------------------
1) Make a sub-directory like p916
ex: mkdir p916
cd p916
2) copy scounix\p916.tar to harddisk in UNIX. (Use DOSCP command)
ex: doscp -r a:/scounix/p916.tar p916.tar
3) uncompress p916.tar with TAR command.
ex: tar xvf p916.tar
4) delete p916.tar
ex: rm p916.tar
5) compress extracted files to a formatted floopy
ex: tar cvf /dev/rfd0135ds18 .
6) Run CUSTOM utility in UNIX to install driver with this diskette..
ex: custom
7) Run netconfig to configure p916 driver.
ex: netconfig
NOTE:
-----
Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to
use the keyword , Pnpid1, Pnpid2, Pnpid3, Pnpid4 respectively in
\etc\conf\pack.d\p9160\space.c file to let driver locate the right
adapter. You can run A:\SETUP.EXE under DOS prompt to show all the
Ethernet addresses of your adapters.
Configuration Files:
====================
File Name: \etc\conf\pack.d\p916?\space.c (?=0,1,2,3)
----------
Sample of configuration file:
-----------------------------
...
char *Pnpid1="0";
char *Pnpid2="0";
char *Pnpid3="0";
char *Pnpid4="0";
...
Pnpid1 is the PnP ID of first PnP Ethernet adapter.
Pnpid2 is the PnP ID of second PnP Ethernet adapter.
Pnpid3 is the PnP ID of third PnP Ethernet adapter.
Pnpid4 is the PnP ID of fourth PnP Ethernet adapter.
Pnpid value "0" means use the first PnP Ethernet adapter found.
So Pnpid2, Pnpid3, Pnpid4 should not have value "0".
Custom Keywords:
----------------
Pnpid? = "hhhhhhhhhhhh" This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
the adapter you want to drive. If there
are more than one ethernet adapters in
your system , you have to use this
keyword to let driver locate the right
adapter. However, you don't have to use
this property or let the value to be
zero ( i.e. Pnpid1 = " 0 ") if there is
only one adapter in your system.
Note: For ISA PnP mode, you don't have to define IRQ and IOBASE value
when you install your driver, for the driver will ignore these
values.
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.
