Driver Installation - Microsoft Windows NT Driver ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PNIC-100 Fast Ethernet Adapter Microsoft Windows NT v3.51 NDIS v3.0 Driver INSTALLATION GUIDE ============================================================================= CONTENTS ============================================================================= * Important Considerations * System Requirements * Files Provided * Hardware Installation Guide * Device Driver Installation Guide * Setting Driver Parameters ============================================================================= IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS ============================================================================= * This driver supports the PNIC-100 Fast Ethernet Adapters. ============================================================================= SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ============================================================================= Hardware Requirements: * IBM-compatible personal computer (PC), 80486 or higher with PCI bus supporting bus master mode. * PNIC-100 Fast Ethernet Adapter for PCI bus Software Requirements: * Windows NT v3.51 or later ============================================================================= FILES PROVIDED ============================================================================= Files for installing the driver on Windows NT: * L100.SYS Driver * L100.HLP Driver help file * OEMSETUP.INF Driver setup file ============================================================================= HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE ============================================================================= * See the User Guide for complete installation instructions. * When installing the PNIC-100 Fast Ethernet Adapter in a PCI computer, make sure the slot you select supports bus master operations. * No specialized setup is necessary for motherboards with automatic PCI parameterization (most new PCs support it). * For motherboards with bus master jumpers and interrupt jumpers for PCI slots: 1. Using the appropriate motherboard jumper, enable bus master operations for the selected PCI slot. 2. Using the appropriate motherboard jumper, select the interrupt to the selected PCI slot. 3. Using your computer setup menu: * Enable the bus master on the PCI slot. * Enable I/O on the PCI slot. * Define the interrupt number on the PCI slot. ============================================================================= DEVICE DRIVER INSTALLATION GUIDE ============================================================================= 1. Boot your computer from Windows NT. 2. In the Program Manager Main window, double-click on the Control Panel icon. 3. Double-click on "Network". The Network Settings dialog box appears. 4. Select "Add Adapter". 5. Select "<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer". 6. Select "Continue". 7. Insert the ConfigDisk when prompted to do so. 8. Type the directory A:\WINNT . 9. Select the "PNIC-100 Fast Ethernet Adapter". 10. Select Connection Type and Transmit Threshold size (TxThreshold) The ConnectionType option lets you choose the connection type at which your adapter operates. Available modes: o AUTODETECT In AUTODETECT mode the driver supports run-time auto swap function. You can auto swap during run time from one hub to another. o TP_10 10Base-T Half-Duplex mode o TP_10+FulDuplex 10Base-T Full-Duplex mode o TP_100 100Base-Tx Half-Duplex mode o TP_100+FulDuplex 100Base-Tx Full-Duplex mode 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: o 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. o 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. o 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. o 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. o128 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. o 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. o 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. 11. Upon completion, the adapter name appears in the Installed Adapter Cards list of the Network Setting box. 12. Click on [Close] to complete the Network Setting initialization. 13. Reboot the system. ============================================================================= This software and documentation have restricted rights: their use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to the restrictions in: * DFARS 252.227-7013 Subparagraph (c) (1) (ii) Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause * FAR 52.227-14 Alternate III Rights in Data -- General clause * FAR 52.227-19 Subparagraphs (c) (1) and (2) Commercial Computer Software -- Restricted Rights clause Other product and company names are registered trademarks or trademarks of their respective holders.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.
