E.) Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows 95
If you have installed the Microsoft Client in your Windows 95 system,
you should remove the adapter object and NDIS 2/3 driver of the EN1203,
EN1207(-TX) series adapter from Windows 95 system. No matter if you have
installed the DEC DC21x4 based driver or Accton's NDIS 2/3 driver, before you
install EN1203, EN1207(-TX) Series Client 32 driver, you should do the
following steps.
E.1) Remove adapter object & driver for DECchip 21140
or Accton EN1203, EN1207(-TX) Series
=====================================================
1.> Click the "My Computer" icon in the Main Program Group.
2.> Click the "Control Panel" icon from My Computer window.
3.> Click the "System" icon from the Control Panel window.
4.> Click the "Network adapter" icon from System window.
5.> Click the "PCI Fast Ethernet DECchip 21140 Based Adapter" or
"Accton EN1207(-TX) PCI fast Ethernet Adapter" or
"Accton EN1203 PCI Ethernet Adapter" icon from System window.
6.> Click <Remove> button, then click <OK> button.
7.> Close the opened windows.
Note: If you NEVER pluged EN1203 or EN1207(-TX) PCI adapter into
your PC, Procedure E.1) is not necessary. And you just start
from Procedure E.2).
E.2) Install the Client 32 driver installation information file
==========================================================
8.> Switch to MS-DOS Command Prompt windows.
9.> Insert Accton EN1203, EN1207(-TX) Driver Diskette into your
PC's floppy drive (A: or B:)
10.> Type the following DOS command:
CD \WINDOWS\INF
RENAME NETPCI.INF *.IN_
RENAME ACCPCI.INF *.IN_
COPY A:\LANDRV32\ACC07.INF
EXIT
Notice: The above commands are collected in the SetWin95.BAT file
in the directory \LANDRV32. That is you can execute the
following program to install the Client 32 driver
installation information file.
A:\LANDRV32\SETWIN95 C:\WINDOWS
where C:\WINDOWS is your Windows 95 system directory.
11.> Shutdown and turn off the machine.
E.3) Client 32 Driver Installation on Windows 95
=====================================================
12.> Plug Accton's EN1203 or EN1207(-TX) adapter into one of the
Master PCI slots of your PCI platform.
13.> Turn power on then boot from Windows 95.
14.> Windows 95 will prompt PCI Ethernet Controller in New Hardware
Found dialog box.
15.> Windows 95 will prompt "Accton EN1207(-TX) PCI Fast Ethernet
Adapter" or "Accton EN1203 PCI Ethernet Adapter" in New Hardware
Found dialog box.
16.> Following instructions to complete the installation.
Note: Windows 95 will ask you to keyin the proper path of the
following diskette:
a.> Netware Client 32 for Windows 95 Disk
b.> Accton EN1203, EN1207 PCI Series Ethernet Adapter Driver
Diskette --> Insert Accton EN1203, EN1207 Series Driver
Diskette, then, assign the path to A:\LANDRV32 or
B:\LANDRV32
c.> Windows 95 CD-ROM
F.) Parameters Description for ACC07.LAN
The following parameters are used in ACC07.LAN.
1.> SLOT: specify which adapter is enabled when multiple EN1203 or
EN1207(-TX) are found in your computer. The SLOT
keyword is an index value corresponding to PCI BIOS. The
value of SLOT is different from one machine to the other.
Ex: LOAD ACC07 SLOT=10001 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD ACC07 SLOT=10004 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
2.> FRAME : specify which frame type is used by the driver. Accepted
values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II and
Ethernet_SNAP. Multiple frame types can be enabled by the
drive by loading the same driver with different FRAME type.
Ex: LOAD ACC07 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD ACC07 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
LOAD ACC07 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD ACC07 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
3.> NODE : Use a different address to replace the node address burned
in EEPROM.
Ex: LOAD ACC07 NODE=0200E8001122
4.> Attachment: Specify the connection type of EN1203 or EN1207-TX adapter.
Default value is AUTODETECT.
Driver Parameters Description
================= =====================================
AUTODETECT (Autodetect)
for EN1203, autodetect the connection
type during driver initializetion,
for EN1207, autodetect the connection
type and line speed during driver
initialization,
for EN1207-TX, run-time autosense the
connection type and line speed. This
function also enable the NS chip (83840)
Auto-Negoation operation.
TP (Twisted Pair)
Connector type is RJ-45.
When Line_Speed=10, it is 10BaseT and
when Line_Speed=100, it is 100BaseTx.
BNC (Thick wire)
Connector is BNC (10Base2).
EN1207-TX dose not support this
parameter.
AUI (AUI)
Connector is AUI (10Base5).
Currently, Accton's PCI boards do not
support this connector.
TP_FULL_DUPLEX (Twisted pair - Full Duplex)
Connector is RJ-45 with Full Duplex
mode enabled. The throughput is 20Mbps
for 10BaseT and 200Mbps for 100BaseTx.
TP_NO_LINK_TEST (Twisted pair with link test disabled)
Connector is RJ-45, but the link test
function of transceiever is disabled.
This function should be enabled if
your repeater dose not support link
test function.
Ex: LOAD ACC07 TP
LOAD ACC07 TP LINE_SPEED=100
LOAD ACC07 BNC
LOAD ACC07 AUTODETECT
LOAD ACC07 TP_FULL_DUPLEX LINE_SPEED=100
5.> LINE_SPEED: (Line_Speed)
Specify the speed that your network adapter worked.
Accepted values are 10 and 100. No default value is
assigned.
6.> TURBO : (Turbo mode)
Enhance the performance when your PCI platform uses SATURN
CDC or PCMC chip.
7.> SNOOZE : (Snooze mode)
With EN1207(-TX) new NIC, Snooze mode can reduce power
consumption. The NIC stop most of its internal clock
operation except a network activity is detected.
This is not a default function of ACC07.LAN.
8.> CAPTURE_EFFECT: (Enable the function for solving Capture Effect
problem.)
The driver offers a vendor support function to avoid
starvation when multiple collisions are occurred on
the line. But this function is not part of the
Ethernet SPEC. You can use this parameter to enable
the function.
