Ethernet Drivers
After the EPC-33/34 is installed, cabled and configured, follow the instructions in
this chapter to configure the network interface drivers. The distribution diskettes
supplied with the EPC-33/34 contain drivers for IPX, ODI, NDIS and a packet driver
under DOS/Windows and OS/2. Also included are complete instructions for using
the AUTOSET software.
The majority of users running DOS/Windows select the ODI driver in 16-bit mode,
if supported by their network software.
Most OS/2 users select the ODI driver.
EPC-33/34 Ethernet support under other operating systems, such as SCO UNIX,
LynxOS, VentureCom VENIX, QNX, etc., is built into the operating system itself
and does not require additional drivers. Use the instructions provided with the
network software package.
The I/O base address, shared memory base address, and IRQ channel used by each
LAN adapter must agree with the values for those parameters that are used by the
adapter's network interface driver. The method used to change the driver parameters
depends on the network operating system software in use.
NetWare IPX Driver for DOS Installation
The Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) drivers provided with the EPC-33/34
distribution diskettes are NE2000.COM and ATLANIC.COM. The NE2000.COM
driver is used in 8-bit, NE2000 mode with the IPX interface. Once the EPC-33/34 is
configured using AUTOSET, and the distribution diskettes are loaded onto the
system, use a text editor to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, entering these
commands at the end of the file:
NE2000 /o0 (run NE2000 /D to display available options)
NETX.COM (provided by network software or operating
system distribution diskettes)
