Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------
[ETHPCI_NIF]

  DriverName = ETHPCI$
; Slot = 1            ;; {1-16}
; SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
; {SIA_Mode = TP, BNC, TP_FULL_DUPLEX, AUTODETECT}
; DATA_RATE = MB10   ;; {MB10, MB100}

There are several parameters included in the ETHPCI_NIF section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter that you should specify
is the "drivername."

If you change other parameter settings, such as the SIA_MODE, make sure
that it matches the hardware setting.  Otherwise, the adapter may fail.

If you don't specify these settings, Accton's NDIS/2 driver
will automatically detect them.


SLOT        Specifies which network adapter is used by the driver.  If you
            have only one Accton's PCI LAN card in your machine, this parameter
            is unnecessary!  For two or more Accton's PCI LAN cards, this
            parameter is required and cannot be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI.
            For the first EN1203 or EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX) adapter, Slot=1, and
            the second one, Slot=2, third, Slot=3,..., etc.

SIA_MODE    Specifies the medium type used by the adapter.
            Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTODETECT, TP, BNC
            and TP_FULL_DUPLEX. If you didn't specify this settings it
            would be AUTODETECT for both EN1203 and EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX).

DATA_RATE   Specifies the line speed for EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX), default is
            MB100.

            MB100: 100Mbps, MB10: 10Mbps

            Note! Do not use this setting for the EN1203 adapter.

TX_THRESHOLD
            Specifies the FIFO threshold level during packet transmittion.
            Acceptable values for this parameter are

                          Level (bytes)        Support    Suppot
            Keywords  EN1203, EN1207 Series     EN1203   EN1207 Series

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
