Content: -------- A) Install NDIS 2/3 driver to the WFW 3.11 B) Set Up Real Mode (NDIS 2) Driver Parameters on WFW311 C) Set Up Protect Mode (NDIS 3) Driver Parameters on WFW311 A) Install NDIS 2/3 driver to the WFW 3.11 The drivers named ETHPCI.DOS (NDIS 2), ACCPCI.386 (NDIS 3) contained in the directory WFW311. NDIS Driver Installation on Windows for Workgroups 3.11 ------------------------------------------------------- 1. Run Windows by typing WIN from the DOS prompt. 2. Click the "Network" icon in the Main Program Group. 3. Click the "Network Setup" icon in the Network window. 4. Select "Drivers" item from the Network Setup dialog box. 5. Select "Add Adapters" item from the Option dialog box. 6. Select "Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter" when the Install driver field appears. 7. Type destination drive (A: or B:) in your PC 8. Insert the Accton Driver Diskette in your floppy drive and press <Enter> to start the installation process. 9. When the "Accton EN1203, EN1207 Series PCI Ethernet Adapter Driver" dialog box appear. Select the installed adapter & driver from the following options: Accton EN1203 PCI LAN Adapter NDIS 2/3 driver, Accton EN1207 Series PCI LAN Adapter NDIS 2/3 driver, Accton EN1207B Series PCI LAN Adapter NDIS 2/3 driver, 10.Follow screen instructions to complete the process. 11.Restart your computer. B) Set Up Real Mode (NDIS 2) Driver Parameters on WFW311 (in A:\NDIS\DOS) There are 4 parameters that can be set in driver installation & reconfiguration 1. Slot number: the PCI board index, range is 1..16, default is 1. This parameter is used to distinguish the activated board when multiple Accton's PCI LAN boards are enabled by the driver. 2. Sia Mode: the connection type of the LAN board, can be selected from TP, BNC, TP_FULL_DUPLEX and AUTODETECT, default is AUTODETECT. 3. Data Rate: for EN1207 Series PCI LAN board only. MB10 : speed is 10 Mbps, MB100: speed is 100 Mbps. 4. Tx FIFO threshold: transmit FIFO threshold level LW128 : threshold is 128 bytes (100Mbps), 72 bytes (10Mbps), LW256 : threshold is 256 bytes (100Mbps), 96 bytes (10Mbps), LW512 : threshold is 512 bytes (100Mbps), 128 bytes (10Mbps), LW1024: threshold is 1024 bytes (100Mbps), 160 bytes (10Mbps), FP : Disable early transmit.

AUTOEXEC.BAT File C:\WINDOWS\net start C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE @ECHO OFF PROMPT $p$g PATH C:\WINDOWS; SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP C) Set Up Protect Mode (NDIS 3) Driver Parameters on WFW311 There are 6 parameters that can be set in driver installation & reconfiguration 1. Burst Length : the PCI bus busrt length, validate data are 1 dword, 2 dwords, 4 dwords, 8 dwords, 16 dwords, 32 dwords. default value is 16 dwords (1 dword = 4 bytes) 2. PCI Mechanism: the PCI configuration space access mechanism, valid data are AutoDetect, Mechanism 1 and Mechanism 2, default value is AutoDetect. When AutoDetect is selected, driver will first use Mechanism 2 to search for the LAN adapter; if the search failed, i.e. no LAN adapter was found, Mechanism 1 should be applied to the next search. 3. Connection Type: default is Auto Detection. The connection types for EN1203 PCI board are Auto Detection ; performs automatic media ; detection during driver ; initialization. Twisted Pair ; RJ-45 connector. Twisted Pair - Full Duplex ; communication in full duplex mode, ; speed is 20Mbps Twisted Pair - No Link Test ; supports Hubs which do not ; generate link pulses BNC - Thinwire (BNC connector) ; 10BASE2 connector. The connection types for EN1207 Series PCI board are AutoSense ; performs automatic media ; detection during driver ; initialization. 10 Mbps ; RJ-45 connector, line speed is ; 10 Mega bits per second. 10 Mbps Full_Duplex ; communication in full duplex mode, ; speed is 20Mbps. BNC (10Base2) ; 10BASE2 connector. 100 Mbps ; RJ-45 connector, line speed is ; 100 Mega bits per second. 100 Mbps Full_Duplex ; communication in full duplex mode, ; speed is 200Mbps. 4. Receive Buffers : the number of data buffers used for packet reception, valid data are 8, 16, 32, 48 and 64, default is 16. The following two parameters are used for the EN1207 Series PCI board only. 5. Store And Forward : Cut Through : Enable eraly transmit. Store And Forward : Disable early transmit. default is Store And Forward. 6. Transmit Threshold : the transmit FIFO threshold level when Store and Forward is disabled. 10Mbps: 72, 96, 128, 160 bytes 100Mbps: 128, 256, 512, 1024 bytes default is 160 or 1024 bytes.

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.
