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
