- 8003/8013 FAMILY LAN ADAPTER SETUP PROGRAM
-
- USER DOCUMENTATION
-
-
- EZSETUP is a configuration program that operates with these
- 8003/8013 family Ethernet adapters:
-
- o 8003EB - 8-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software
- only
- o 8003W - 8-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by
- software only
- o 8003EP - 8-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software
- or jumpers
- o 8003WP - 8-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by
- software or jumpers
- o 8013EP - 16-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software
- or jumpers
- o 8013W - 16-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by
- software or jumpers
- o 8013EW - 16-bit coaxial and twisted pair adapter
- configurable by software or jumpers
- o 8013EPC - 16-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software
- or jumpers
- o 8013WC - 16-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by
- software or jumpers
- o 8013EWC - 16-bit coaxial and twisted pair adapter
- configurable by software or jumpers
-
- These adapters contain non-volatile memory which eliminates most
- of the jumper requirements of earlier adapters. This allows
- you to configure the adapter through software.
-
- To run EZSETUP from a floppy disk, change your default drive to
- the floppy drive, and type the following at the prompt:
-
- EZSETUP
-
- Alternatively, you can copy the EZSETUP program file to the system
- hard disk and run EZSETUP from there.
-
- You can run the EZSETUP program using either the interactive
- method (where the program prompts you) or a command line.
- Procedures for both methods are explained below.
-
- 1. INTERACTIVE METHOD
-
- Type EZSETUP and follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
-
- When you have more than one adapter which is supported by this
- program installed in your system, then you see all the adapters
- listed by their I/O Base addresses.
-
- If you do have more than one adapter, but you see only one I/O
- Base address listed, this means that your adapters are probably
- configured to the same I/O Base address. When this happens,
- you must remove all the adapters except one from your computer,
- then change each adapter's I/O Base address. After you have
- changed each adapter's address, you can add the other adapters and
- configure them.
-
- Refer to the adapter's user installation guide for further
- installation and configuration instructions.
-
- 2. COMMAND LINE METHOD
-
- The command line consists of three components: 1) the command,
- EZSETUP, 2) the adapter identification, and 3) the configuration
- parameters.
-
- You only need to specify the adapter identification when you
- have more than one adapter installed. You can use either
- the I/O base address or the node address. To identify the
- adapter, the command for using the node address is /node:x,
- where x is the adapter's 12-digit node address.
-
- All command line options available are listed below:
-
- Command Description
- ==============================================================
- /? Displays all EZSETUP command line options.
-
- /factory Forces the adapter to the default factory-set
- values for the SOFT jumper position, ignoring
- the specific command options for these values
- (I/O base address 240, IRQ 2 Disabled, RAM base
- address CE000; For 8013 adapters, CC000).
-
- /default Forces the adapter to the following settings
- when the jumper is set to SOFT: I/O base address
- 240, IRQ 2, RAM base address CE000 (CC000 for
- 8013 adapters).
-
- /io:x Identifies the current I/O base address of the
- adapter you want to configure. The factory
- setting for the SOFT jumper location is 240.
-
- /irq:x Specifies the interrupt level (IRQ). Possible
- values for x are 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. For 8013
- adapters, possible values are 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10,
- 11, and 15. Also enables the IRQ specified.
-
- /newio:x Specifies a new I/O base address. Acceptable
- values for x are 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 2A0,
- 2C0, 2E0, 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 3A0, 3C0,
- and 3E0(hex).
-
- /node:x Identifies the node address of the adapter you
- want to configure. x is the 12-digit node address
- printed on the NODE ADDRESS label attached to the
- adapter. This command is an alternative to using
- the /io command to identify the adapter. Example:
- 0000C024D058.
-
- /ram:x Specifies the RAM base address. Possible values
- for x are any hexadecimal address that is a multiple
- of 8K between 80000 - FE000. For 8013 adapters, the
- value has to be a multiple of 16K between 80000 -
- FFE000. To specify address above 1 Megabytes (above
- FC000), 6 digits of address has to be specified. See
- your adapter's user installation guide.
-
- /rom:x Specifies the base address of the boot ROM.
- Possible values for x are any hexadecimal address
- between 80000 to FC000.
- Note: the address must be on the a boundary of
- the ROM size. See your adapter's user installation
- guide.
-
- /romsize:x Specifies the size of the ROM window in Kbytes.
- Possible values for x are 0 (ROM disabled), 16,
- 32, and 64.
-
- /wait:x Specifies whether or not to add wait states.
- Possible values for x are y (yes) and n (no).
- Most computers work with /wait set to NO.
- Computers with fast I/O bus clock rates may
- need /wait set to YES. If the adapter fails
- its diagnostic with /wait:n, set /wait to YES.
-
- /netconn:x Specifies which network connection to use.
- Possible values for x are : 1 (for BNC or 10BaseT),
- 2 (for AUI or 10BaseT), or 3 (for Twisted Pair-
- No Link Integrity). This option is valid for
- 8003WC, 8013WC, 8013EPC, and 8013EWC adapters.
-
- /link_int:x Specified whether the link integrity is enabled
- disabled. Possible values for x are d (disabled)
- or e (enabled). This options is valid only for
- 8013WP and 8013EW adapters.
-
- The following is an example of a properly constructed command
- line:
-
- ezsetup /io:240 /newio:280 /irq:5 /ram:C0000 /rom:D0000
-
- The command, ezsetup, starts the program. The adapter identi-
- fication, /io:240, tells the system which adapter to
- configure, and the remaining information tells the system
- how to configure the adapter. In this example, the I/O base
- address is changed to 280, the IRQ level is changed to 5,
- the RAM base address is changed to C0000, and the ROM base
- address is changed to D0000.
-
- Make sure that the configuration you select for your network
- software driver matches what you select in EZSETUP.
