Accton EN2218 Multi-function PC Card
Netware Driver Installation
This directory contains the DOS/ODI driver PCMMLID.COM that
supports NetWare 3.x and 4.x, NetWare Lite, and other ODI compatible
operating environments. This driver enables both the Ethernet
and Modem functions of the PC Card.
You need the following files to install the DOS/ODI driver.
All of them are included on this diskette.
1. LSL.COM ---- Link Support Layer, supported by Novell.
2. PCMMLID.COM ---- DOS/ODI Driver, supplied on this diskette
3. IPXODI.COM ---- IPX/ODI driver, supported by Novell.
4. NETx.COM ---- Netware shell, supported by Novell.
5. NET.CFG ---- Optional configuration file
You can copy all these files to a directory, and then enter the following
commands:
LSL <Enter>
PCMMLID <Enter>
IPXODI <Enter>
NETx <Enter>
You can then login to a file server.
A batch file, STARTNET.BAT, with the above commands is included
in the \NETWARE directory for your convenience.
After executing PCMMLID.COM in the above command sequence, both the
LAN (Ethernet) and Modem functions are enabled. The command displays the
Ethernet I/O port and IRQ (interrupt) values used by the LAN function,
as well as the COM port (e.g. COM2, COM3, or COM4) enabled. Please use
this COM port when you configure your communication software.
Below is a sample NET.CFG file:
LINK DRIVER PCMMLID
PORT 300
IRQ 5
COMPORT 3
FRAME Ethernet_802.2
FRAME Ethernet_802.3
FRAME Ethernet_II
FRAME Ethernet_snap
PROTOCOL IPX 0 Ethernet_802.2
After executing PCMMLID.COM with this NET.CFG file, a message similar to
the following is displayed:
COM3: IRQ 4, I/O 3E8
IRQ 5, Port 300, Node Address E8010155 L
Max Frame 1514 bytes, Line Speed 10 Mbps, Bus ID 0
Board 1, Frame ETHERNET_802.2, LSB Mode
Board 2, Frame ETHERNET_802.3, LSB Mode
Board 3, Frame ETHERNET_II, LSB Mode
Board 4, Frame ETHERNET_SNAP, LSB Mode
In the NET.CFG file, the IRQ keyword specifies the interrupt (IRQ) for the
LAN function. All legal IRQ values are supported. If Card Service is
installed in the system, PCMMLID checks with the Card Service to see if the
IRQ you specified is free. If it is, PCMMLID uses this IRQ. If it is not
free, PCMMLID 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, PCMMLID will try to use the IRQ you
specified regardless whether it is free. In case the IRQ is not free,
PCMMLID 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 PCMMLID 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.
The PORT keyword specifies the base I/O address for the LAN function.
The supported values are:
0x300 (Default value)
0x320
0x340
0x360
The comment about IRQ assignment also applies to the PORT parameter. If Card
Service is installed in the system, it is recommended that you do not specify
the PORT value and let PCMMLID 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.
The COMPORT keyword 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 PCMMLID 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.

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.
