Driver Installation - Microsoft Windows NT v4.0 Driver
======================================================
AsanteFAST 10/100 PCI Rev B Adapter
Microsoft Windows NT v4.0 NDIS v4.0 Driver
INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Boot your computer to Windows NT.
2. From "Start" menu choose "Settings" and select "Control Panel".
3. Double-click on "Network".
The Network Settings dialog box appears.
4. Select "Adapters" from tab and click "Add...".
5. When the list of available network adapters appears,
click on the "Have Disk" button.
6. Insert the driver CD into your CD-ROM drive. Type the directory
E:\WINNT40 into the box on your screen and press the <Enter> key.
Replace the letter E: with the appropriate drive letter for your CDROM drive.
7. Select the "AsanteFAST 10/100 PCI Rev B Adapter" and click "OK" button.
8. Click the "Close" button, then install the network protocols and services
that you want. See your Microsoft Winsows NT user guide(s) for
more information. When you are finished, click on the "Close" button.
9. NT will ask you to choose a connection type and a Tx Threshold type.
The ConnectionType option lets you choose the connection type at which
your adapter operates. SEE LIST BELOW.
SETTING DRIVER PARAMETERS LIST
ConnectionType:
ConnctionType specified the oepration speed of the adapter. It is
recommanded that user selects the AUTODETECT mode. In autodetect mode,
the adapter detects the link partner's abilities and chooses the
highest available speed automatically.
Available modes:
* AUTODETECT
Default and recommended setting.
This adapter supports fully Nway autodetect
function and also supports fully Auto
swap, but you must load driver first. Then you
can detect full_duplex with Nway. And you also
can auto swap during run time from one hub to
another. If hub has no Nway, it may take more time.
* TP_10
Establish a 10BaseT (10Mbps) connection.
* TP_10+FulDuplex
Establish a 10BaseT Full Duplex (20Mbps) connection.
* TP_100
Establish A FAST Ethernet (100Mbps) connection.
if the adapter supports 10Mbps only, this connection
type will work as AUTODETECT.
* TP_100+FulDuplex
Establish A FAST Ethernet Full Duplex (200Mbps)
connection. If the adapter supports 10Mbps only, this
connection type will work as AUTODETECT.
The TxThreshold lets you choose the number of bytes read from the
host memory into the transmit FIFO before the transmission. If the
frame length is less than the threshold value, the adapter will start
to transmit after a full frame is in the FIFO. The performance is
better, if the smaller value is chosen. But if you have compatible
problem, the Store and Forward or the bigger value is recommended.
Available modes:
* Store and Forward
Disable the transmit threshold control.
The adapter reads the whole frame from
the host memory to transmit FIFO first,
then starts to transmit.
* 36 Bytes
Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control
and establish transmit threshold initial value
to 36 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow
too many times, the value will be increased
dynamically.
* 72 Bytes
Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control
and establish transmit threshold initial value
to 72 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow
too many times, the value will be increased
dynamically.
* 96 Bytes
Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control
and establish transmit threshold initial value
to 96 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow
too many times, the value will be increased
dynamically.
* 128 Bytes
Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control
and establish transmit threshold initial value
to 128 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow
too many times, the value will be increased
dynamically.
* 160 Bytes
Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control
and establish transmit threshold initial value
to 160 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow
too many times, the value will be increased
dynamically.
* 256 Bytes
Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control
and establish transmit threshold initial value
to 256 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow
too many times, the value will be increased
dynamically.
10. NT will copy the necessary network drivers to your computer.
Upon completion, you will see a list of installed bindings.
You can change the bindings settings as necessary if needed.
Click on Next, then Next again to start the NT network.
11. Enter your computer's Computer Name and choose either Workgroup
or Domain, depending on the type of network you are setting up.
You may change the name of Workgroup or Domain that it will
appear in. When you are finished, click on Next, followed by
Finish.
12. Restart your computer.
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.
