From your prompt, type the following command sequence and press <Enter>: LSL ACCTON -----------> MPX workstation driver IPXODI NETX All trademarks or brand names mentioned are properties of their respective owners. -- THE END -- .TOPIC: Packet Driver Accton Technology Corporation PACKET DRIVER INSTALLATION ============================== NWPD.COM is your adapter packet driver. The following describes its command syntax and use. NWPD Command Syntax ------------------- NWPD [-d] [-n] [-w] [-u] [-h] <PD_INT_NO> [IRQ] [IO_BASE] where: [-d] The "-d" option does not start the Ethernet adapter until this packet driver is called first by higher layer programs [-n] The Novell server uses NOVELL ISO-like packet, while the Novell workstation uses the NOVELL 8137 packets. Use this option to convert NOVELL 8137 into NOVELL ISO-like packets, if necessary. [-w] Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under Windows. This is not to be considered as the proper solution, which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows. This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch. [-u] This option unloads the Packet Driver. [-h] This option displays the on-line help. <PD_INT_NO> This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80. The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so don't load the packet driver there!) [IRQ] This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) [IO_BASE] This specifies the I/O address. Example 1 --------- Using Accton's EN165x adapter, the following command line loads the Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h, at I/O address 300 and hardware interrupt 3. NWPD 0x60 3 0x300 Since the default I/O address for this adapter is 300 and the default IRQ is 3, the above command may be simplified to: NWPD 0x60 Note ---- Address parameters, such as the software interrupt and I/O address are preceded by "0x". For example, "0x60" and "0x300". -- THE END -- .TOPIC: PC/TCP Accton Technology Corporation PACKET DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR FTP PC/TCP ========================================= NWPD.COM is Accton's packet driver which can support FTP PC/TCP. Following is the installation procedure: 1. Load your Packet Driver. example: NWPD 0x60 2. Load the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE. See following example: To load the PC/TCP kernel and allocate 8 packet buffers, type the following: ETHDRV -p 8 <Enter> This will increase the number of packet buffers from 5 (default) to 8. 3. You are now ready to run any PC/TCP application, like FTP's telnet. -- THE END -- .TOPIC: NCSA Accton Technology Corporation PACKET DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR NCSA =================================== NWPD.COM is Accton's packet driver which can support NCSA Telnet. Following is the installation procedure: 1. Make sure that you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet for the PC. You need version 2.3 or later to support the packet driver interface. 2. Install the NCSA software onto your system. Refer to the NCSA documentation for detailed instructions. 3. Load the Packet Driver (NWPD 0x60). Refer to the corresponding section for details. 4.

All rights reserved. Accton adapters provide an empty socket for installing the optional Boot ROM device. Once installed, the adapter is able to load DOS from server. This is useful for using the adapter in a diskless workstation. Two types of Boot ROMs available. They are as follows: 1. Ethernet Remote Reset Boot ROM (Model No. SW7100B) - Supports the NetWare IPX workstation 2. Generic Boot ROM (Model No. SW7125) - Supports NetWare 3.x, 4.x and Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x Using the Ethernet Remote Boot ROM (SW7100B) -------------------------------------------- The Ethernet Remote Reset Boot ROM is for NetWare applications. 1. Generate a DOS Image To allow remote booting, you should first generate a DOS image. See the corresponding section in your NetWare manuals for detailed procedure. 2. Run RPLFIX.COM This program is provided and developed by Novell to fix the bug that causes boot failure when using MS-DOS 5.0 or DR DOS 6.0. Users of MS-DOS 5.0 or DR DOS 6.0 MUST run this program after generating the DOS image. Failure to do so will result in boot failure. 3. Auto-detect adapter configuration Once you power on the host PC, the Boot ROM will automatically detect the configuration of the network adapter installed. The parameters detected will vary according to the type of network adapter. Corresponding values will be shown on screen. See Figures 1 and 2 for sample screen displays. For related information, see section on "List of Adapter Parameters Automatically Detected by the Boot ROM". 4. Follow screen instructions to select the appropriate Ethernet_Type if necessary. See section on Ethernet Type Selection for more information. Note: The program automatically detects the adapter's parameter settings, including Frame type, RAM Test, RAM Size, IRQ value, I/O base address, data width, Ethernet-ID Ethernet Type Selection ----------------------- The Boot ROM device is compatible with both Ethernet_II and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet. 1. Upon power on the program automatically detects the adapter's configuration, and will display it on the screen. 2. When prompted to select a "frame type" choose an appropriate one for your adapter if necessary. For example, pressing "1" selects "Ethernet_II," while pressing "2" selects "802.3" Using the Generic Boot ROM (Model No. SW7125) ---------------------------------------------- Accton's Generic Boot ROM can be used with the following programs: * NetWare v3.x or later * Microsoft's LAN Manager 2.1 or later Each platform has its own software installation and setup routine. The diskette that comes with the ROM kit has drivers for the different network environments. Generic Boot ROM Installation for NetWare v3.x ---------------------------------------------- 1. Install the NetWare Server RPL software. 2. Prepare a blank diskette for the remote reset image. 3. Create the server image boot file. 4. Boot your workstation. Installing the NetWare Server RPL Software ------------------------------------------ a. Copy Novell's RPL.NLM to the server directory SYS:SYSTEM. b. Copy Novell's RBOOT.RPL to the server directory SYS:LOGIN. c. "Load" a server LAN driver and be sure to specify the frame type that your workstation is going to use. d. "Bind" IPX to each of the different frame types (ETHERNET_802.2, ETHERNET_802.3, ETHERNET_II, ETHERNET_SNAP) that you require. e. "Load" RPL.NLM f. "Bind" RPL to the LAN driver and appropriate frame type (ETHERNET_802.2) Preparing a blank diskette for the remote boot image ---------------------------------------------------- a. Label a blank diskette "Remote Image" b. From your root directory, type format a: /s c. Files needed on the remote image include the following: * For an IPX workstation, you will need the IPX.COM (generated using Accton's driver or NE2000), and the NETX.COM files * For the DOS ODI workstation with NetWare v3.x: LSL.COM MPX2ODI.COM (or NE2000.COM) IPXODI.COM NETX.COM (or EMSNETX.EXE) NET.CFG * For the DOSODI workstation with NetWare v4.x: LSL.COM MPX2ODI.COM (or NE2000.COM) IPXODI.COM VLM.COM NET.CFG * Other files necessary are: AUTOEXEC.BAT (user defined) CONFIG.SYS (user defined) and other file you may deem necessary All NetWare VLM files for workstation NET.CFG Creating the server image boot file ----------------------------------- Refer to the sections entitled "Customizing Remote Boot Files" and "Creating the BOOTCONF.SYS Boot Files" in your NetWare documentation for details. A brief procedure follows: 1. Log onto the network as "supervisor" for the NetWare v3.x server; or as "admin" for the NetWare v4.x server. 2. Map to your network server. Type: MAP F:=SYS:LOGIN 3. Insert the Remote Reset Image diskette in the drive A of the workstation. 4. Change to F: and type: CD\LOGIN 5. Using DOSGEN create the file "NET$DOS.SYS": F:\SYSTEM\DOSGEN 6. Flag the NET$DOS.SYS as sharable and run RPLFIX if you're using MS-DOS 5.0. Remote Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1 -------------------------------------------- Remote Boot installation on LAN Manager 2.1 may be complex. Also, be aware that the Accton Generic Boot ROM does not provide remote boot capability on a Microsoft OS/2 system. There are two ways to install the remote boot software on the LAN Manager server. You can either use Accton's configuration utility (on the Accton Driver diskette or download it from Accton's BBS), or edit the RPL files manually.

NetWare DOS ODI Workstation Driver Installation (NetWare v3.11) --------------------------------------------------------------- This section describes the procedure to install the NetWare v3.11 workstation driver for your adapter. Requirements: ------------- Accton Driver Diskette Installation Procedure: ----------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure the your NetWare operating system is properly installed. 1. Run the following command in the order given below and press <Enter>: lsl MPX2ODI ipxodi netx 2. You can now log into your network. Note: For better performance on NetWare, you can opt to use Accton's MPX ODI drivers. Install ACCTON.LAN as the server driver, and install ACCTON.COM as the workstation driver. For more information see the MPX.TXT file. NetWare DOS ODI Driver Installation (NetWare 4.0x) ================================================== Requirements: ------------- Accton Driver Diskette (ACC40.LAN) Installation Procedure: ----------------------- 1. Insert the Accton Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\ODI\4.0x It should contain the following file : ACC40.LAN ------> Novell NetWare V4.0x Server Driver ACC40.LDI ------> Novell NetWare V4.0x Server Driver Installation Information File 2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing: server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter> 3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>. 4. Select "LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)" and press <Enter>. 5. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install. 6. Press <F3> and specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\ODI\4.0x) and press <Enter>. 7. The ACC40.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for the 'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to start the driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 8. Next time you start up your system, simply follow steps 2 to 4 to complete the installation. Installation notes: ------------------- 1. The architecture of V.40 driver is different from that of V3.11. You should load MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM modules separately before loading ACC40.LAN. When loading ACC40.LAN, it will check whether these two modules have been loaded, if not, it will load them automatically. So after ACC40.LAN is loaded, if you type ' MODULES' command under prompt, you will see that two extra modules, namely, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM are also loaded. 2. The default frame type for the ACC40.LAN binding is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between V3.11 and V4.0x(include 3.12) drivers. The ACC40.LAN also supports the NetWare V3.11 environment. However, it requires loading of some patch NLMs before loading it. Under this circumstance, there are some unpredictable faults. So we do not suggest this solution. 3. Remember to specify LASTDRIVE=Z in the CONFIG.SYS file. 4. Edit the NET.CFG if you want to change some parameters. For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and wants to log into a NetWare v4.0x server. The default frame type of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.0x is Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into the NetWare v4.0x, make sure there is a protocol binding for Ethernet 802.3 in the server's NET.CFG file. This is normally included in the [MLID] section. A sample NET.CFG file is given below: LINK DRIVER MPX2ODI INT 5 PORT 320 : : List of Error Messages ---------------------- Error message: "The board cannot be found." Possible cause: The adapter does not exist or driver does not recognize the adapter. Solution: Plug Accton adapter into your PC bus slot. Error message: "Board RAM failed the memory test." Possible cause: The RAM buffer on the adapter failed. Solution: Change a new adapter to run driver again. Error message: "The board did not respond to the initialization command." Possible cause: The driver recognized the adapter but the adapter fail to respond. Solution: Change a new adapter to run driver again. Error message: "Adapter current mode is not supported or card not found." Possible cause: The current adapter mode is not supported such as NE1000 mode. Solution: Run 1Step.exe reset adapter to NE2000. Error message: "There is no cable connecting to adapter." Possible cause: There is no cable connecting to adapter or the transceiver within adapter is failed. Solution: Connect the cable to adapter and run driver again.

One is to create an installable diskette then install to UnixWare, the other is to install to the default directory in UnixWare. 1. Create an installable floppy diskette. 1.1 Copy the tar compress file into UnixWare # doscp a:/unixware/unixdrvr.z /tmp/driver.Z # cd /tmp 1.2 Decompress the tar compress file # uncompress driver 1.3 Prepare a floppy diskette, format a floppy diskette, then make a file system. If you use 1.44Mbyte floppy diskette: # /usr/sbin/format -v /dev/rdsk/f03ht # /sbin/mkfs -F s5 /dev/dsk/f03ht 2844:711 2 36 If you use 720Kbyte floppy diskette: # /usr/sbin/format -v /dev/rdsk/f03dt # /sbin/mkfs -F s5 /dev/dsk/f03dt 1422:355 2 18 1.4 Mount this file system If you use 1.44Mbyte floppy diskette: # mount /dev/dsk/f03ht /install If you use 720Kbyte floppy diskette: # mount /dev/dsk/f03dt /install 1.5 Change working directory to this file system and extract required files to the floppy diskette # cd /install # tar xvf /tmp/driver 1.6 Unmount this file system, and this floppy is an installable diskette. # cd / # umount /install Now you can use console command or enter DeskTop environment to install driver from this diskette. Following steps use console command. Information about how to install diskette in DeskTop environment, please consult your menu accompanied with UnixWare Packages. 1.7 Install driver to UnixWare from this installable diskette. If you use 720KByte diskette: # pkgadd -d /dev/dsk/f03dt The following messages display onscreen Insert diskette into 3.5 inch 720 kbyte (Low Density). Type [go] when ready or [q] to quit: (default: go) Press Enter and the following messages display onscreen Installation in progress. Do not remove the diskette. The following packages are available: 1. accdrv Ethernet Hardware Support (i386)1 Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: Select 1 and press Enter, then it will prompt you to select desired IRQ and I/O Base 2. install driver to UnixWare 2.1 Copy the tar compress file into UnixWare # doscp a:/unixware/unixdrvr.z /tmp/driver.Z # cd /tmp 2.2 Decompress the tar compress file # uncompress driver 2.3 Change working directory to /usr/spool/pkg and extract required files to this directory # cd /usr/spool/pkg # tar xvf /tmp/driver 2.4 Install driver to UnixWare from this directory # pkgadd The following messages display onscreen The following packages are available: 1. accdrv Ethernet Hardware Support (i386)1 Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: Select 1 and press Enter, then it will prompt you to select desired IRQ and I/O Base -- THE END -- .TOPIC: SOLARIS UNIX Accton Technology Corporation ISA Ethernet Adapter Solaris for X86 Driver Installation ======================================================== This is the SunSoft Solaris X86 Ethernet network driver installation procedure for Accton's EN165X, UK000X, UL000X series products. When Solaris X86 Unix was installed successfully then you can start network installation: 1. Install Accton ISA Ethernet adapter in your PC. 2. Run 1Step or Setup program(from Accton Driver Program Diskette) to configure and test the adapter. (Record the IRQ and I/O address for later use) 3. Startup the system and log on to Solaris as Superuser(root). 4. Remove /etc/hostname.* and reboot the system if you had installed network driver. ( if you used the SMC's 'smc' driver, you must have the file /etc/hostname.smc0. For Accton 'actn' driver, the installation program will create the file /etc/hostname.actn0.) # rm /etc/hostname.* # halt 5. Copy the install package file (acctar.16) from Accton's distributed diskette or BBS to the SunSoft Solaris X86 unix system's /tmp directory. # mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt # cp /mnt/acctar.16 /tmp # umount /mnt 6. At the prompt, execute the commands "dos2unix' and "uudecode" to change the file data format, as follows: # cd /tmp # dos2unix acctar.16 acctar.uu # uudecode acctar.uu 7. Extract the driver installation package files (Acc.tar). # tar xvf Acc.tar 8. Copy the install package file directory (Accton165) and contents to /var/spool/pkg. # cp -r Accton165 /var/spool/pkg 9. Install the driver in the Solaris unix. # pkgadd Accton165 The Console prompts you for the following: Where should the device driver object be installed [/kernel/drv]? _ (Press Enter Key) Should required driver configuration files be modified [y,n]? _ (Press "y" key) Should /etc/hostname.actn0 be created with the current system name? _ (Please key in system Hostname ) Do you want to continue with the installation of this package [y,n,?]_ (Press "y" key) The Console will inform you when driver installation is completed. 10. Edit /kernel/drv/actn.conf to change "ioaddr" and "intr" value specified in step 2. Warning: The values of IRQ and I/O address in actn.conf file must match the values set in 1Step/Setup program. Sample actn.conf is: # Driver.conf file for the "Accton EN165" # # The ioaddr property is the base I/O port address. # The second number in the "intr" specification is the IRQ. # The second and third numbers of the "reg" specification are the # physical address and the length in bytes of the device's # memory-mapped address space. # The optional multisize property specifies the number of multicast # addresses to be supported by this device driver; default 16. # # See isa(4) for details about the format of this file. name="actn" class="sysbus" ioaddr=0x300 intr=5,3 reg=0,0xc8000,0x4000; | |---> IRQ 3 |---> I/O port address 11. Edit /etc/hosts to add my IP address and hostname. Edit /etc/netmasks to add netmask. ex. /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost loghost <my IP address> <my hostname> .. .. 12. Driver is installed successful, Reboot the system. #halt 13. If you want to remove Accton165 package, first remove /etc/hostname.actn0 and reboot the system. After the system startup, remove the /etc/hostname.actn0 # rm /etc/hostname.actn0 # halt Then, reboot the system and run "pkgrm Accton165" # pkgrm Accton165 -- THE END --Download Driver Pack
