STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATION Setup Program For EtherCard PLUS Family LAN Adapters USER GUIDE This software is licensed by SMC for use by its customers only. Copyright (c) 1992 Standard Microsystems Corporation. All rights reserved. EZSETUP is a configuration program that operates with these EtherCard PLUS Family LAN adapters: o WD8003EB - 8-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software only o SMC8003W - 8-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by software only o SMC8003EP - 8-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software or jumpers o SMC8003WC - 8-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by software or jumpers o SMC8013EP - 16-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software or jumpers o SMC8013W - 16-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by software or jumpers o SMC8013EW - 16-bit coaxial and twisted pair adapter configurable by software or jumpers o SMC8013EPC - 16-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software or jumpers o SMC8013WC - 16-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by software or jumpers o SMC8013EWC - 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.
