  8. Introduction:
  9. =============
  10.  
  11.   This document shows you how to use the eeprom utility. This utility runs
  12. under DOS environment.
  13.  
  14.  
  15. Contents of the Subdirectory:
  16. =============================
  17.  
  18.     EEPROM.EXE          The eeprom utility program file.
  19.     EEPROM.CFG          The eeprom utility default configuration file.
  20.     EEPROM.TXT          This file.
  21.  
  22. Usage:
  23. ======
  24.  
  25.     The eeprom menu consists of four functions:                          
  26.                                                                                 
  27.     1.  F1: Create Data File
  28.         You should use this function to create a new EEPROM data file.
  29.         The default value of "Ethernet ID", "Subsystem ID", "Subsystem Vendor ID" 
  30.         and "PHY address" are invalid. Modify them to the valid value and 
  31.         save to a file.
  32.                                                                                 
  33.     2.  F2: Open Data File
  34.         If you want to modify an existed EEPROM data file, you could use 
  35.         this function.
  36.                                                                                 
  37.     3.  F3: Write to EEPROM
  38.         After the EEPROM data file is OK, you could use this function
  39.         to write the data file into EEPROM.
  40.                                                                                 
  41.     4.  Esc: Exit
  42.         Exit this program.                                                                                
  43.

  45. Command line usage
  46. ==================
  47.  
  48. Usage: EEPROM [option]
  49. option: -?                        This help.
  50.         -h                        This help.
  51.         -p[#] [MAC Address] filename [-i [filename1]] [-o filename2]
  52.                                   Program EEPROM with data in filename and output the
  53.                                   programmed MAC address to filename2 if -o is specified.
  54.                                   use alternative way to modify MAC address if -i is specified.
  55.                                   if filename1 is omitted, the program will read MAC from console.

  60.         -v[#] filename            Verify EEPROM with data in filename.
  61.                                   # : ( 1 ~ 8 ) card number, could be ignored.

  63.                                   p4 rpl.nic : Verify rpl.nic with 4th adapter.
  64.         -f[#] filename            Write filename with EEPROM data.
  65.                                   # : ( 1 ~ 8 ) card number, could be ignored.
  66.                                   f file1.nic : Write file1.nic with first adapter.
  67.                                   f4 rpl.nic : Write rpl.nic with 4th adapter.
  68.         -e                        Display extened menu item.
  69.         -bm[#] <19|18|BBS|RPL|NO> Enable boot up methods.
  70.                                   # : ( 1 ~ 8 ) card number, could be ignored.
