EN2212 PCMCIA Ethernet Adapters
< I > To configure this adapter and install software, please type:
INSTALL <Enter>
and follow the "1Step" installation/configuration program.
< II > Software Installation Hints
1. The Accton EN2212 PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter must be enabled
before any of the drivers will work. An enabler program,
ACCOPEN.EXE, is included on the installation
diskette. This program can be installed in CONFIG.SYS
as a DOS device driver, or it can be executed from the DOS
command prompt.
ACCOPEN.EXE supports three kinds of environments. If the
Card Service Driver is installed, ACCOPEN.EXE will enable
the PCMCIA Adapter by using the services supplied by
the Card Service. The Card Service provides central
resource management for multiple PCMCIA cards and is the
preferred environment to use PCMCIA Cards.
If the Databook CardTalk Socket Service Driver is installed,
ACCOPEN.EXE will enable the PCMCIA Adapter by going through
this Socket Service. Because the socket service does not
provide resource management, using multiple PCMCIA Cards at
the same time may result in conflicts in resource requirements.
This means the PCMCIA Card may not be able to be enabled.
If neither Card Service nor Socket Service is installed,
ACCOPEN.EXE will try to enable the PCMCIA Card by programming
the PCMCIA controller directly. The Databook TCIC and Intel
82365SL and their compatible controllers are supported. The
same caveat for the socket service also applies here.
2. For those who installed EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS, please
exclude a range of memory from this program. The PCMCIA
Card Enabler, ACCOPEN.EXE, will use this space to read
Ethernet ID and other information stored on the PCMCIA Card.
Although ACCOPEN.EXE uses only 4K bytes of memory, Card
Service and other system software may require more
to function properly. It is recommended to reserve at
least 8K for this purpose. The more PCMCIA cards you
intend to use at the same time, the more free memory you need.
Example 1: DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D400-D5FF
This example excludes 8K bytes from EMM386. This is
the bare minimum for most Card Services to work.
Example 2: DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D0FF
This example excludes only 4K worth of memory. This
may not be enough for the Card Service to work.
Example 3: DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
This example reserves 64K bytes of memory. This is
sufficient in most cases.
3. For those who installed Card and Socket Services device drivers
in yours CONFIG.SYS, please execute ACCOPEN.EXE after those device
drivers since ACCOPEN is a Card Services Client and should only
be activated after the Card and Socket Services drivers are
activated.
Example 1:(DataBook CardTalk)
DEVICE=SS_2.SYS (Socket Service driver)
DEVICE=CARDTALK.SYS (Card Service driver)
DEVICE=ACCOPEN.EXE /PORT=300 /INT=5
Example 2:(SystemSoft CardSoft)
DEVICE=SS365SL.EXE (Socket Service driver)
DEVICE=CS.EXE (Card Service driver)
DEVICE=CSALLOC.EXE C:\path\CSALLOC.INI
DEVICE=ACCOPEN.EXE /PORT=300 /INT=5
Example 3:(Phoenix PCMPlus)
DEVICE=PCMSSDB.EXE (Socket Services driver)
DEVICE=PCMCS.EXE (Card Service driver)
DEVICE=ACCOPEN.EXE /PORT=300 /INT=5
< III > To use Accton MPX driver:
Accton MPX driver is a high performance NetWare 3.x ODI driver.
It includes two drivers:
MPXPCM.COM : NetWare DOS/ODI driver
(A:\NETWARE\ODI\DOSODI\MPXPCM.COM)
MPXPCM.LAN : NetWare 3.x server driver
(A:\NETWARE\ODI\SERVER\MPXPCM.LAN)
To run MPXPCM.LAN as a server driver, you must modify STARTUP.NCF
as follows:
SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 4202
and use LOAD & BIND command to start the server driver.
Workstation driver MPXPCM.COM does not have any special requirement.
You can run MPXPCM.COM in place of PCMMLID.COM.
For example:
LSL
MPXPCM
IPXODI
NETX
.
.
To achieve maximum performance, you must change server and
workstation drivers to MPXPCM.LAN and MPXPCM.COM simultaneously.
Otherwise, you just get the same performance as that of a NE2000
compatible driver.
Accton MPX driver supports NE2000 mode, and can process
Ethernet_II, Ethernet 802.2, and Ethernet 802.3 frame types.
The latest driver updates can be downloaded from Accton's BBS:
United States (1) 510-226-9832 14400-2400 baud
Taiwan (886) 35-770-654 14400-2400 baud
For more information, see your Accton Installation Manual.
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.
