Driver Installation Guide for Packet Driver Requester
===========================================================
Introduction
============
This document describes the procedure to setup the Packet driver for
FriendlyNET PCI595 Fast Ethernet Adapter.
Location of Driver: \PKTDRVR\SIS900.EXE
Installation Procedure
======================
The packet driver recognizes the command line options described below.
Note that when multiple 595 PCI Fast Ethernet adapters are installed
in a PC, the -s option (for PCI) is required. Otherwise, there is no
need to specify any other options.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NOTE: |
| For all the command line options that require a value to be |
| specified, you must put a space between the command line |
| option and the value. For example: | |
| SIS900 -s 3 -n 0x65 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
-h Displays the command line usage message.
-n int Sets the packet driver's software interrupt to "int".
The valid range is from 0x60 to 0x80 (as stated in the
packet driver specifications). If not specified, the
default is 0x60.
-t Terminates the packet driver and frees the memory
occupied by the driver.
-s slot Sets the adapter slot location to "slot". Use this option
only if installing multiple 595 PCI Fast Ethernet adapters
in one PC.
-c type Set media type manually. It should be a hexdecimal number
started with 0x. If not specified, the default is 0x01
(Auto-Detect).
Type Ethernet Standard Duplex
---- ----------------- ------
0x01 Auto-detect Auto
0x08 10Base-T HALF
0x10 10Base-T FULL
0x20 100Base-T HALF
0x10 100Base-T FULL
Command Line Option Examples:
=============================
SIS900
Loads the packet driver using the configured I/O port address, IRQ
, and media type. The driver is installed at software interrupt
0x60.
SIS900 -s 2 -n 0x65
Loads the packet driver for PCI slot 2 using a software interrupt
of 0x65 (the software interrupt is 0x60 by default). If an IRQ
setting is specified by using "-i irq" and the IRQ value is not
correct, the driver will not load and will print an error message.
SIS900 -t
Terminate the packet driver at software interrupt 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.
