Version / Date / Author of this file: v2.00 / 17-Feb-1995 / R. Aámann Version / Date / Author of the referred subject: v2.00 Rev. A / 17-Feb-1995 / R. Aámann This file contains (1) Overview (2) Files needed (3) Installation instructions (4) Troubleshooting =============================================================================== (1) OVERVIEW ============ This README explains how to install the SKETHNT.SYS driver on a Windows NT station. *** (2) FILES NEEDED ================ In a single directory - OEMNADSK.HLP Help file for SK-NET drivers - OEMSETUP.INF Setup script for ethernet driver - SKETHNT.SYS The driver *** (3) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ============================= NOTE: The SK-NET G32+ adapter MUST be configured using EISA configuration file v1.4 (10-Dec-1993) or later. On an EISA machine, the SK-NET ISA adapters should be configured using the appropriate EISA configuration file. Step 1: Start Windows NT. Step 2: Open the CONTROL PANEL. Step 3: Start NETWORK. Step 4: Select ADD ADAPTER. Step 5: Select . Step 6: Type in the path to OEMSETUP.INF. Step 7: Select the driver presented and select the appropriate configuration. Then choose OK and restart your system. NOTE: The ISA adapters (SK-NET G8, SK-NET G16, SK-NET G16/TP) will not run in SIEMENS EISA machines which perform parity checks in the shared memory (e.g. PCE-4T/33, PCE 5/S, ...). Please use an SK-NET G32+ adapter with these machines. *** (4) TROUBLESHOOTING =================== If you encounter problems using the SK-NET Ethernet adapter, please re-read carefully the instructions above and the documentation supplied with the system. Also refer to your system log file (using the event viewer) and check it for entries from SKETHNT. The last 5 DWORDs of the logging data are: - Slot number (for ISA adapters that are not EISA-configured: -1), - Interrupt number, - -1 (for G32+: DMA channel), - Base I/O port and - Vendor code (3 bytes) / adapter id (1 byte) of the adapter that caused the error. Follows a list of some events, possible reasons (may be incomplete) and suggestions to fix your problem. Event ID: 5001 - Could not allocate the resources necessary for operation. Reason(s): Not enough RAM or pagefile too small. Help: ... --------------- Event ID: 5002 - Has determined that the adapter is not functioning properly. Reason(s): Adapter failed RAM test. Help: Try different memory address. For SK-NET G32+: Check the adapter by means of SKDIAG32.EXE. Start a driver under another Operating System. Start a driver under e.g. DOS (with the same resource usage) and look if it works. --------------- Event ID: 5003 - Could not find an adapter. Reason(s): Wrong slot or IO Port Adapter physically not installed. System configuration information invalid. Help: Check slot/port settings. Look if adapter is physically present. Check system configuration. --------------- Event ID: 5004 - Could not connect to the interrupt number supplied. Reason(s): The selected interrupt is already in use. Help: Select free interrupt. --------------- Event ID: 5007 - Timed out during an operation. Reason(s): Wrong interrupt, DMA channel or base address. Cable not connected. Help: Start a driver under e.g. DOS (with the same resource usage) and look if it works. Check cabling. --------------- Event ID: 5009 - Does not support the configuration supplied. Reason(s): Invalid IRQ or DMA given. Old .CFG file used for configuration. Help: Check configuration. Please use the new .CFG file supplied with this driver or a newer one. If your special problem is not listed or the error persists, please send us your system log file or at least the event id number and the logging data (as dwords) of the entries made by SKETHNT. *** End of information file ***
