 Introduction
 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
    Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems,
    especially TCP/IP software packages.  If the network system that is
    installed specifically mentions support for packet drivers, then it
    is likely that it will be able to the provided packet driver without
    problems.

    The most important thing to remember when installing packet drivers is
    the software interrupt vector.  The default interrupt vector for packet
    drivers is 0x62 hexadecimal.  Most network operating system supporting
    packet drivers will try to automatically search for packet drivers already
    loaded in the computer's memory.  However, some packages will require a
    provided interrupt vector for the packet driver.  Furthermore, some
    packages can only work with certain interrupt vectors. which require a
    software interrupt vector parameter when loading.  Please see the section
    at the end of this document for description on packet driver parameters.

    Since the PCI Family Ethernet adapters are  software configurable,
    the packet driver will automatically detect the hardware parameters.
    If the packet driver can properly read the adapter's MAC address during
    loading, then the hardware is normally working properly.

    Packet Driver Parameters:


        <packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the
                        packet driver program, which can be from 96 to 128.

                        Note: <packet_int_no> can be hex or decimal number.
                              hex - start with '0x'.            ex:>TEPCI 0x62
                              dec - start with nonzero digit.   ex:>TEPCI 98

        </slot=##>      is the number of assigned slot,which is from 1 to f.

                        Note: '##' can be hex number only.
                              ex:>TEPCI /slot=1
                                 >TEPCI /slot=2
                                 >TEPCI /slot=f

        </d>            Delay Initial - The driver program will not initialize
                        the network interface card until the packet driver
                        program is accessed by its upper layer program first
                        time.

        </w>            the /w parameter is for use with the Windows
                        environment only.

        </u>            is to unload the driver program from memory.
                        The program will automatically search for Packet
                        driver to unload.

        </turbo>        Disable PCI post write in Intel PCI chipset which
                        gives the PCI bus higher priority over the other
                        buses (EISA or ISA).

     To select media type, you can use :

        </autosense>    this is the default setting. It let you able to
                        change media without restart the driver.

        </tp>           Force the driver to select Twisted Pair interface.

        </bnc>          Force the driver to select BNC interface.

        </tp_full_duplex>
                        Select Twisted Pair interface running in full duplex
                        mode.

        </tp_no_link_test>
                        Select Twisted Pair interface. Transmit does not
                        perform link pulses test.

     To select line speed, you can use :

        </line_speed=###>
                        Select Line Speed. Which can be 10 or 100
                        (10MB or 100MB).


     Note: 'line_speed' parameter must be used with media selection
           (/tp or /tp_full_duplex). Ortherwise the driver does not know
           which media (half duplex or full duplex) to work with.

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.
