                         Packet Driver Installation Guide
                  ================================================ 


A.) The Packet Driver Syntax
============================

  MX32PD.COM [Command] <PD_INT_NO>

    Available command line options:
      [-i]   The "-i" option forces driver to report itself as IEEE 802.3
             instead of Ethernet II.
                                
      [-d]   The "-d" option does not start LAN card until this driver is
             called by the higher layer programs first.

      [-n]   Your  NOVELL server uses NOVELL ISO-like packets. Your NOVELL
             workstation uses  NOVELL 8137 packets. You can use this option
             to convert NOVELL 8137 packets into  NOVELL ISO-like packets.

      [-w]   Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under
             Windows. This is not to be construed with the proper solution,
             which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows.  This hack is
             enabled only when you use the '-w' switch.

      [-p]   The "-p" option is used to disable promiscuous mode.

      [-h]   The "-h" option is used to select the 100Mbps line speed.

      [-l]   The "-l" option is used to select the 10Mbps line speed.

      [-f]   The "-f" option is used to select the Full Duplex mode. (note:
             The option must be used with -h or -l option)

      [-u]   This option unloads the Packet Driver.

      <PD_INT_NO> This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where you'll load
                  the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80.

      Note: The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so
            don't load the packet driver there!).


B.) For Example
===============
The following command line loads the driver at software interrupt 60h.

  MX32PD.COM 0x60   

 Notes:
       a. The default transmission speed is NWay.(Auto-Negotiation)
       b. The placement of 0x prior to the parameters.

After the Packet Driver is loaded, you can run the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE.
The PC is then ready for PC/TCP communications.

To run PC/TCP applications, you need to load PC/TCP Kernel ("ETHDRV.EXE").
 1. Refer to PC/TCP manual, Command Reference section, Chapter 2.3.

 2. The following example will load the Kernel and allocate 8 packet buffers.  
    Increasing the # of packet buffers (from the default of 5) prevents
    dropping packets due to a buffer shortage.

     ETHDRV -p 8 <Enter>

 3. At this point, you are ready to run PC/TCP applications (e.g., 'ftp',
    'telnet'). example ftp 130.172.24.101, 130.172.24.101 is host address.
    Regard to host address, you must know its address.

C.) How to Communicate with NCSA TelNet
=======================================
 1. Make sure you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet for the PC. You need
    version 2.3 or later to support the packet driver interface.

 2. Install the NCSA software onto your system. Please refer to the NCSA
    documentation for detailed instructions.

 3. Load Packet Driver (MX32PD 0x60):
    a. Refer to "The Packet Driver Syntax" section above.
    b. To view the hint screen and type,

         MX32PD -h  <Enter>

    c. The following example will load the packet driver using software
       interrupt vector 60.  The PD_INT_NO(IRQ) will be read from adapter 
       configuration space:

         MX32PD 0x60  <Enter>

 4. At this point you are ready to run NCSA applications (e.g. 'ftp', 'telnet',
    etc. command).  For example: 

      ftp 192.72.53.202(the 192.72.53.202 is host address)

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.
