; ; PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS ; for the DEC EtherWORKS (MC, EISA, LC, Turbo) Ethernet Adapters ; ; ; This document describes the PROTOCOL.INI keywords used for the ; DEC EtherWORKS NDIS MAC driver. The only parameter that must be ; specified is the "DriverName". Note that many of these parameters ; have default values (which are specified below). A parameter need ; not be specified in the PROTOCOL.INI file if its default value is ; satisfactory. ; ;DriverName ; units:[n/a] ; range:[DEPCA$] ; default:[DEPCA$] ; ; This parameter's value must be DEPCA$, it identifies the network ; device driver. ; ; The following entries are optional under the [DEPCA] section. ; ;MaxMulticast ; units:[integer] ; range:[1-256] ; default:[8] ; Example: 8 ; ; This specifies the maximum number of multicast addresses that can ; be in effect simultaneously. (NOTE that there's no 's' on the end of ; this keyword.) ; ;MaxTransmits ; units:[integer] ; range:[0-256] ; default:[16] ; Example: 16 ; ; This specifies the number of "TransmitChain"s that the MAC driver ; guarantees to accept without giving an "OUT_OF_RESOURCE" response. ; ; The following parameters ONLY need to be set if your DEC EtherWORKS ; adapter (MC, EISA, LC, Turbo) does not contain a diagnostic or ; remote boot ROM chip. ; ;AdapterName ; units:[n/a] ; range:[DE100,DE200,DE210,DE422] ; default:[n/a] ; Example: DE100 ; ; This specifies the name of the ethernet adapter. ; ; values adapter ; ------------ ------------------- ; DE100 DEC EtherWORKS LC ; DE200 DEC EtherWORKS Turbo ; DE210 DEC EtherWORKS MC ; DE422 DEC EtherWORKS EISA ; ;RamAddress ; units:[hex] ; range:[C000,C800,D000,D800,E000,E800] ; range for Micro Channel cards with 16KB mode option: ; ; [C000, C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 ; C600, C700, C800, C900, CA00, CB00 ; CC00, D000, D100, D200, D300, D400 ; D500, D600, D700, D800, D900, DA00 ; DB00, DC00, E000, E100, E200, E300 ; E400, E500, E600, E700, E800, E900 ; EA00, EB00, EC00] ; ; default:[n/a] ; Example: 0xD000 ; ; This specifies the physical base address in the PC memory address ; space of the "window" through which the adapter's RAM will be ; referenced. This parameter's value must agree with the jumpered ; configuration of the adapter. Not required for DEC EtherWORKS MC ; Adapter and DEC EtherWORKS EISA Adapter. ; ;Interrupt ; units:[integer] ; range:[2-15] ; default:[n/a] ; Example: 5 ; ; This specifies the IRQ level that will be used by the adapter-to-PC ; interrupt. Its value must agree with the jumpered configuration of ; the adapter. Not required for DEC EtherWORKS MC Adapter and DEC ; EtherWORKS EISA Adapter. ; ; values adapter ; ------------ ------------------- ; 2,3,4,5,7 DEC EtherWORKS LC ; 5,9,10,11,15 DEC EtherWORKS Turbo ; 5,9,10,11 DEC EtherWORKS MC ; 5,9,10,11 DEC EtherWORKS EISA ; ;Netaddress ; units:[integer/character] ; range:[0h-0Fh] quotes are required ; default:[n/a] ; Example: "08002B12AF34" ; This specifies the station address that will be used by the adpter ; if the upper layers do not provide a way to set the station address. ; If the uppers layers set the station address, then this switch will ; be ignored. ; ; Following is an example PROTOCOL.INI fragment for a DEC EtherWORKS ; Turbo adapter with no diagnostic or remote boot ROM chip: [DEPCA_NIF] DriverName = DEPCA$ MaxMulticast = 12 MaxTransmits = 32 AdapterName = DE200 RamAddress = 0xD000 Interrupt = 5Download 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.
