The driver EN5251PD.COM can be used for the following: Accton EN5251 Based Fast Ethernet Adapters EN5251PD syntax: EN5251PD [-#] [-a] [-t] [-f] [-s] [-n] [-w] [-u] [-h] Parameter Explain ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [-#] The "-#" option will let the driver work on a specific adapter when multiple EN5251 based adapters are found in the computer system. For example, "-1" means the first adapter will be activated by the driver, "-2" means the second adapter will be activated, ... etc. A maximum of 4 adapters are supported simulaneously. [-a] The "-a" option will let driver perform automatic media detection during driver initialization. The detection sequence is TP 100Mbps Full Duplex ---> TP 10Mbps Full Duplex ---> TP 100Mbps Half Duplex ---> TP 10Mbps Half Duplex If no physical media is attached to the adapter then TP 100Mbps Full Duplex is the default media. [-t] The "-t" option is to use Twisted Pair (RJ-45) (10BASE-T) as the transmission media. And it is also the default setting. [-f] The "-f" option enables FULL_DUPLEX feature of the adapters. It has no effect except when Twisted Pair is used. [-s] The "-s" option sets the adapter line speed to 100Mbps. It is a dedicated option for the EN5251 Based Ethernet adapter. [-n] Your NOVELL server uses NOVELL ISO-like packets. Your NOVELL workstation uses NOVELL 8137 packets. You can use this option to convert NOVELL 8137 packets into NOVELL ISO-like packets. [-w] Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under Windows. This is not to be construed with the proper solution, which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows. This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch. [-u] This option unloads the Packet Driver. [-h] This option displays the on-line help. This specifies the software interrupt (INT) where you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notice!! The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so don't load the packet driver there!) Example: The following command line loads the EN5251 based adapter Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h, transmission media is automatical-detected: EN5251PD -a 0x60 or EN5251PD 0x60 ** Note ** The default transmission media is automatic-detection. The prefix of 0x to the parameters.
