   840-PD.COM [Options]

   A. The 840-PD.COM is a packet driver on DOS:
      To run the 840-PD.COM directly on the DOS prompt -

      [driver:\path\]840-PD.COM<enter>

   B. Functional Description:

      1. Supported functions for FTP 1.09 spec. are
         driver_info(), access_type(), release_type(), send_pkt(), terminate(),
         get_address(), reset_interface(), get_parameters(), set_rcv_mode(),
         get_rcv_mode(), set_multicast_list(), get_multicast_list(),
         get_statistics(), and set_address().

      2. Packet Driver command options :

         1) 840-pd [packet_int_no[id=xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx][full/half][ls=10/100]
                   [bl=0/1/2/4/8/16/32][ca=8/16/32][tt=0/0x01--0x7f]]

            packet_int_no
                packet_int_no is the software interrupt number,and in the
                range 0x60 through 0x80 (including 0x60 and 0x80).The
                default value is 0x60 (0x60 means 60h).

            id=<Hexdecimal String>
                Physical Address, Select a specific 840 card if there are
                multiple 840 adapters.

            full/half
                The parameter 'full' and 'half' is used to set the full
                duplex function of the 840 adapter.
                This adapter can be in half or full duplex mode. So 'full'
                and 'halt' do not co-exist. In half duplex mode, the W89C840
                can only either transmit or receive. In full duplex mode, the
                W89C840 can transmit and receive at the same time.
                If user does not set 'full' or 'halt' in the command line,
                this driver will auto detect the full duplex function.

            ls=<Value>
                The parameter 'ls' is used to set the line speed.
                This adapter can be operationed in 10M or 100M Mbps. The
                reasonable values is 10(set as 10M) or 100(set as 100M).
                If user does not set this parameter, this driver will
                auto detect the line speed.

            bl=<Value>
                The parameter 'bl' is used to set burst length.
                The default value of the burst length is 6.
                Burst Length defines the maximum number of long words that
                can be transferred within one PCI burst transaction. The
                reasonable values are are 1(1 longword), 2(2 longwords),
                3(4 longwords), 4(8 longwords), 5(16 longwords) and
                6(32 longwords).

            ca=<Value>
                The parameter 'ca' is used to set cache alignment.
                The default value of cache alignment is 3.
                Cache Alignment defines the address boundary for data burst.
                The reasonable values are 1(8 longword alignment),
                2(16 longword alignment) and 3(32 longword alignment)."

            tt=<Hexdecimal Value>
                The parameter 'tt' is used to set transmit threshold.
                The default value of transmit threshold is 0.
                This value decides the transmit threshold level of the
                transmit FIFO. Transmission will start immediately after the
                transmit FIFL has reached the threshold level or full pkt has
                been transferred to the transmit FIFO if the frame length is
                less than the transmit threshold level.
                    TxThreshold         Transmit Threshold Level
                       00H                     full pkt
                       01H                     16 bytes
                       02H                     32 bytes
                       --                      --
                       7FH                      2032 bytes"

            nway=<String>
                The parameter 'nway' is used to disable or enable the
                autonegotiation function. The default value of nway is on.
                The reasonable values are OFF and ON.

         2) 840-pd -U/-u packet_int_no

            Specify option 'U' or 'u' to unload the packet driver using the
            specific packet_int_no.

         3) 840-pd ?

            Display packet driver command options.

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.
