TRENDware TE-PCI/TE-100PCI Ethernet Adapter Packet Drivers Installation Overview Contents ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Introduction User's Guide 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.

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. </n> NetWare conversion </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.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.
