Oct 1995 EZ-2000+ SERIES Ethernet Card Packet Driver Program ============================= ***************************** * General Installation Tips * ***************************** Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems specially TCP/IP software packages. If the network system that you are installing specifically mentions support for packet drivers, then it is most likely that you will be able to use our provided packet driver without any problems. The most important thing to remember when installing packet drivers is the software interrupt vector. The default interrupt vector for EZ-2000+ packet drivers is 0x62 hexadecimal. Most softwares supporting packet drivers will try to automatically search for any packet drivers already loaded into the computer's memory. However, some software packages will require you to provide the interrupt vector of the packet driver. Futhermore, some software packages can only work with certain interrupt vectors. With these software packages, you have to add a software interrupt vector parameter when loading the packet driver . Please look towards the end of this document for explanation on packet driver parameters. Since the EZ-2000+ SERIES Ethernet adapters are all software configurable,the packet driver will automatically detect the hardware parameters. If the packet driver can properly read the Ethernet card's MAC address during loading, then chances are the hardware is working properly. This driver diskette contains specific installation instructions for the following software packages: File Description ------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- PCNFS.TXT Sun PC-NFS installation document PCTCP.TXT FTP PC/TCP installation document Notes: <packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the packet driver program, which can be from 96 to 128. [/option] Can be one of the following: /? Show available parameters /d Delay Initial - The driver program will not initialize the network interface card until the packet driver program is accessed by its upper layer program first time. /w The -w parameter is for use with the Windows environment only. /u Unload the packet driver. /c Assign card number for driver. /n NetWare conversion. Convert 802.3 packets into 8137 packets. /auto Automactically detect connected media. *This is default setting for media. /utp Switch media type to Twisted pair. /bnc Switch media type to BNC. /aui Switch media type to AUI. card, *If the assigned media type does not exist on the found card, driver will automatically detect connected media. o /sa Search all EZ-2000+ SERIES Ethernet card. If there are two river (or more) EZ-2000+ SERIES Ethernet cards in the system, driver will ask you to select one card to work with. rd. *The default setting is to work with the first found card.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.
