** ** ** D-Link PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter ** ** Packet Driver for DOS Workstations ** ** v4.30 Feb , 2005 ** ** Introduction: ============= The Packet Driver for DOS workstations confirms to the PC/TCP version 1.09 Packet driver specification. This document shows you how to setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords in configuration file. Contents of the Subdirectory: ============================= DLKFET.COM The Packet driver for DOS workstations. DLKFET.SYS The Packet driver for DOS workstations. PACKET.TXT This file. Installation: ============= Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program (A:\DIAG.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct. Installation Packet Driver: --------------------------------------------------------- Install dlkfet.com ****************** 1) Copy the Packet driver to your HardDisk, suppose you copy it to C:\PACKET directory. EX: copy a:\packet\dlkfet.com c:\packet\dlkfet.com 2) Add the following line to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT C:\PACKET\DLKFET -n 0x60 Install dlkfet.sys ******************* 1) Copy the Packet driver to your HardDisk, suppose you copy it to C:\PACKET directory. EX: copy a:\packet\DLKFET.SYS c:\packet\DLKFET.SYS 2) Add the following line to C:\CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\PACKET\DLKFET.SYS -n 0x60 Configuration Files: ==================== Sample of configuration file: ----------------------------- (Suppose PACKET driver is copied to C:\PACKET directory) For dlkfet.com ************** File Name: C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT ---------- C:\PACKET\DLKFET -n -w 0x60 0x60 is software vector number this driver uses. -n means Novell packets can be transmitted across this driver -w means Window compatible. if you want to link to N-way Device and use auto mode, you can add parameter as follow: C:\PACKET\DLKFET -a -n0x60 if you want to force assigning linespeed equal 100Mbs or 10Mbs,halfduplex or fullduplex, you can add parameter as follow: C:\PACKET\DLKFET -s100 -f -n 0x60 (speed=100Mbs fullduplex) C:\PACKET\DLKFET -s10 -h -n 0x60 (speed=10Mbs halfduplex) (suggest use CONNECTIONTYPE instead of this keyword) if you have two or more adapters, you can add parameter as follow to specify one: C:\PACKET\DLKFET -deviceno=13 0x60 (device number=13) if you have two or more adapters and they have same device number, you can add parameter as follow to specify one further: C:\PACKET\DLKFET -deviceno=13 -busno=1 0x60 (bus number=1, device number=13) note: driver shows menu for selecting if you don't specify any one and there are two or more adapters in the system. you can get the information about bus number and device number from this menu if you want to set up your connection type, you can add parameter as follow: C:\PACKET\DLKFET -connectiontype=autosense 0x60 (Auto mode, default value) C:\PACKET\DLKFET -connectiontype=10baset 0x60 (speed=10Mbs, halfduplex) C:\PACKET\DLKFET -connectiontype=10basetfd 0x60 (speed=10Mbs, fullduplex) C:\PACKET\DLKFET -connectiontype=100basetx 0x60 (speed=100Mbs, halfduplex) C:\PACKET\DLKFET -connectiontype=100basetxfd 0x60 (speed=100Mbs, fullduplex) if you want to set up your flow control ability, you can add parameter as follow: C:\PACKET\DLKFET -flow_control=hardware_default 0x60 (use hardware value, default) C:\PACKET\DLKFET -flow_control=enable 0x60 (enable flow control) C:\PACKET\DLKFET -flow_control=disable 0x60 (disable flow control) Note: Driver doesn't care the result of auto-negotiate if the value of this keyword, flow_control , is enable or disable. It just enables or disable flow control ability according your setting. For dlkfet.sys ************** NOTE: All parameters of dlkfet.com are also used by the same style here! File Name: C:\CONFIG.SYS ---------- DEVICE=C:\PACKET\DLKFET.SYS -n -w 0x60 0x60 is software vector number this driver uses. -n means Novell packets can be transmitted across this driver -w means Window compatible. if you want to set up your connection type, you can add parameter as follow: DEVICE=C:\PACKET\DLKFET.SYS -connectiontype=autosense 0x60 (Auto mode, default value) DEVICE=C:\PACKET\DLKFET.SYS -connectiontype=10baset 0x60 (speed=10Mbs, halfduplex) DEVICE=C:\PACKET\DLKFET.SYS -connectiontype=10basetfd 0x60 (speed=10Mbs, fullduplex) DEVICE=C:\PACKET\DLKFET.SYS -connectiontype=100basetx 0x60 (speed=100Mbs, halfduplex) DEVICE=C:\PACKET\DLKFET.SYS -connectiontype=100basetxfd 0x60 (speed=100Mbs, fullduplex)
