Options:
? displays the on-line help
-u unload the packet driver
id=xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx physical address
full full duplex
half half duplex
ls=100(10) line speed
bl=0(1,2,4,8,16,32) burst length
ca=8(16,32) cache alignment
tt=0(0x01--0x7f) transmit threshold
where (1) packet_int_no, tt, and id values are hex values
in the forms of 0xXX (ie:0x12)
(2) other values are digit
(3) 'full' and 'half' do not co-exist
Note:
1. 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 'half' do not co-exist. In half duplex mode, the RL100ATX
can only either transmit or receive. In full duplex mode, the
RL100ATX can transmit and receive at the same time.
If user does not set 'full' or 'half' in the command line,
this driver will auto detect the full duplex function.
2. The parameter 'ls' is used to set the line speed.
This adapter can operate in 10Mbps or 100Mbps. The
accepted values is 10(10Mbps) or 100(100Mbps).
If user does not set this parameter, this driver will
auto detect the line speed.
3. 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
supported values are are 1(1 longword), 2(2 longwords),
3(4 longwords), 4(8 longwords), 5(16 longwords) and
6(32 longwords).
4. 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 supported values are 1(8 longword alignment),
2(16 longword alignment) and 3(32 longword alignment)."
5. 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 FIFO 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
6. [packet_int_no] is the software interrupt number where
packet driver is loaded. It must be in the range 0x60
to 0x80 (including 0x60 and 0x80). The default value
is 0x60.
The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61
(so don't load the packet driver there!)
7. [packet_int_no] must be specified after [-u] when unloading
the packet driver.
Example:
The following command line loads the Compex RL100ATX 10/100Base-TX PCI Fast
Ethernet Adapter Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h.
RL100APD 0x60
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").
a. Refer to PC/TCP manual, Command Reference
section, Chapter 2.3.
b. 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>
c. 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.
To unload the packet driver
The example below assumed pkt_int_no = 0x60
e.g. C:\> RL100PD -u 0x60
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.
