Accton EN2218 Multi-function PC Card
LAN Manager NDIS Driver Installation
The driver ETHPCM.DOS contained in directory \MSLANMAN.DOS
is used in the LAN Manager environment.
This driver conforms to the Network Driver Interface Specification
(NDIS) 2.0 defined by Microsoft/3Com.
ETHPCM.DOS enables both the LAN and modem functions of EN2218.
It is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file as a MS/DOS device driver.
The following keywords are supported in PROTOCOL.INI:
[IRQ] Specifies the interrupt (IRQ) for the LAN function.
All legal IRQ values are supported. If Card Service is
installed in the system, the driver checks with the Card Service
to see if the IRQ you specified is free. If it is, the driver
uses this IRQ. If it is not free, the driver asks the Card
Service to assign an available IRQ and use that IRQ instead of
the one you specified.
If Card Service is not installed, the driver will try to use
the IRQ you specified regardless whether it is free. In case
the IRQ is not free, the driver will not be able to come up,
or the system may hang.
If Card Service is installed in the system, it is recommended
that you do not specify the IRQ value and let the driver assign
it for you. If Card Service in not installed, please make sure
the IRQ you assigned, or the default value (5), is not used by
another device in the system.
[IOBASE] Specifies the base I/O address for the LAN function.
The supported values are:
0x300 (Default value)
0x320
0x340
0x360
The comment about IRQ keyword assignment also applies to the
IOBASE parameter. If Card Service is installed in the
system, it is recommended that you do not specify the IOBASE
value and let the driver assign it for you. If Card Service
in not installed, please make sure the I/O Base you assigned,
or the default value (0x300), is not used by another device in
the system.
[COMPORT] Specifies the COM port (COM2, COM3, COM4) for the modem
function.
The supported values are:
2 (for COM2)
3 (for COM3, default value)
4 (for COM4)
The comment about IRQ assignment also applies to the
COMPORT parameter. If Card Service is installed in the
system, it is recommended that you do not specify the COMPORT
value and let the driver assign it for you. If Card Service
in not installed, please make sure the COM port you assigned,
or the default value (3, for COM3), is not used by another
device in the system.
The following is a sample message displayed by ETHPCM.DOS after it is
loaded:
The COM PORT to use is COM3
COMPORT = 0x03E8
COMIRQ = 0x4
IOBASE = 0x0300
IRQ = 0x5
This message says that ETHPCM.DOS acquired the COM3 port for use by the
modem function. The I/O base address for COM3 is 0x3E8 (hexadecimal),
and the IRQ (interrupt) number is 4. Depending on the availability of the
COM ports in the machine or user designation, ETHPCM.DOS may display a
different COM port other than the one shown in this example.
This message also reports for Ethernet function the I/O base address
is 0x300, and the IRQ (interrupt) is 5. These values are configurable
in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Please consult the sample PROTOCOL.INI file
in this directory for details.
