EN2220/EN2225 Fast EtherCard-32
10/100 Fast Ethernet CardBus PC Card
NDIS 2 Driver Installation
EN2220/EN2225 has NDIS 2 driver support for the following environments:
- Microsoft LAN Manager
- IBM LAN Support Program
Before you execute the NDIS 2 driver, you have to execute the EN2220/EN2225
card enabling program CBOPEN.EXE first.
The EN2220/EN2225 Microsoft LAN Manager NDIS driver and installation files are
stored under the \MSLANMAN.DOS directory on the driver disk:
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ACCTON\ETHCB
ACCND2.DOS The DOS NDIS MAC driver
PROTOCOL.INI A sample PROTOCOL.INI file
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF
ETHCB.NIF Installation Network Information File
The EN2220/EN2225 NDIS driver support for other environments are stored under the
\NDIS directory. The organization of this directory is as follows:
\NDIS
NDIS.TXT This readme file
LANMAN.TXT The Installation guide for
LAN Manager
LANSVR.TXT The Installation guide for LAN Server
\NDIS\DOS
ACCND2.NIF Network Information File for IBM LAN Support
Program
ACCND2.DOS The DOS NDIS MAC driver
PROTOCOL.INI A sample PROTOCOL.INI file
Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------
[ETHCB_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = ACCND2$
; Slot = 1 ;; {1-16}
; SIA_Mode = AUTODETECT
; {SIA_Mode = TP, TP_FULL_DUPLEX, AUTODETECT}
; DATA_RATE = MB10 ;; {MB10, MB100}
There are several parameters included in the ETHCB_NIF section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter that is necessary to 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 card may fail.
If you don't specify these settings, the NDIS/2 driver will try to detect them
automatically.
SLOT Specifies which CardBus PC Card is activated by the driver. If you
have only one EN2220/EN2225 card in your machine, this parameter
is unnecessary. For two or more EN2220/EN2225 cards, this
parameter is required and cannot be omitted from PROTOCOL.INI.
For the first EN2220/EN2225, set Slot=1, and for the second one, set
Slot=2, etc.
SIA_MODE Specifies the medium type used by the card. Acceptable values
for this parameter are AUTODETECT, TP, and TP_FULL_DUPLEX. If you
didn't specify this parameter, it would be set to AUTODETECT.
DATA_RATE Specifies the line speed. Default value is MB100.
MB100: 100Mbps, MB10: 10Mbps
TX_THRESHOLD
Specifies the FIFO threshold level during packet transmission.
Acceptable values are:
Keywords Level (Bytes)

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.
