Introduction
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Packet drivers are general drivers used by many operating systems,
especially TCP/IP software packages. If the network system that is
installed specifically mentions support for packet drivers, then
it is likely that it will be able to the provided packet driver
without problems.
The most important thing to remember when installing packet drivers
is the software interrupt vector. The default interrupt vector for
packet drivers is 0x62 hexadecimal. Most network operating
system supporting packet drivers will try to automatically search for
packet drivers already loaded in the computer's memory. However,
some packages will require a provided interrupt vector for the packet
driver. Furthermore, some packages can only work with certain
interrupt vectors. which require a software interrupt vector parameter
when loading. Please see the section at the end of this document for
description on packet driver parameters.
Since the TE-16XP Ethernet adapters are software configurable,
the packet driver will automatically detect the hardware parameters.
If the packet driver can properly read the adapter's MAC address during
loading, then the hardware is normally working properly.

DEVICE = TE16XP.SYS [/option] <packet_int_no>
TE16XP.COM [/option] <packet_int_no>
Packet Driver Parameters:
<packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the
packet driver program. This can be from 96 to 128.
[/option] includes 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.
/w The -w parameter is for use only in the Windows environment.
/u Unload the packet driver.
/n NetWare conversion. Convert 802.3 packets to 8137 packets
/auto Automatically detect connected media.
* This is the default setting for media type.
/utp Switch media type to UTP.
/bnc Switch media type to BNC.
/aui Switch media type to AUI.
* If the selected media type does not exist on the adapter,
the driver will automatically detect the connected media.
/sa Search all TE-16XP Ethernet adapters. If there is more
than one Ethernet card in the system, the driver will
ask you to select which card to work with.
* The default setting is to work with the first detected
adapter.
/earlytx Enable early transmit option.
* The default setting is disabled.
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.
