XIRCOM POCKET ETHERNET ADAPTER II
Additional Information
Version 2.10
November 23, 1992
========================================================================
Welcome to a new level of connectivity convenience. The Xircom Pocket
Ethernet Adapter II is the easiest-to-use Ethernet adapter available.
Be sure to fill out and return your Product Registration Card and record
your model and serial number on page ii of the Xircom User's Guide.
Please refer to your network operating system manual and your Xircom
User's Guide for instructions on installation of the drivers contained
on this diskette. This .DOC file contains information that may not
be in your User's Guide.
DRIVER NOTES
------------
3Com 3+Share - Drivers for 3Com 3+Share are on the Xircom Bulletin
Board System (BBS). See below for BBS information.
Artisoft LANtastic/AI - If you are using LANtastic/AI v4.0, you
will need to upgrade to 4.1. Contact Artisoft for
information. If you use a computer that uses IRQ 5 for the
parallel port, you must define IRQ=5 on the command line
parameter when loading PE2AILAN.COM.
For example: PE2AILAN IRQ=5
Windows for Workgroups - The PE2NDIS.EXE driver which is included
with Microsoft's Windows for Workgroups is a version previous to
the one on this disk. The version on this disk will also be
submitted to Microsoft for certification. We recommend using the
driver contained on this disk.
An OEMSETUP.INF file is provided in the \NDIS subdirectory
of this diskette. This file will allow you update the PE2NDIS.EXE
driver that is included with Microsoft's Windows for Workgroups.
Follow Microsoft's instructions for adding an updated network
adapter driver. During this process you will be prompted to
insert a floppy and type the path for the driver. Insert this
diskette and specify the following path:
A:\NDIS
The updated driver will then be copied from the floppy to the local
hard drive. Complete the installation according to the Windows for
Workgroups instructions.
ODI NOTES
---------
If you are using a NET.CFG configuration file with your ODI driver,
using "=" is not a valid syntax.
For example, use INT 7 instead of INT=7.
Also, manual selection of the LPT value is not supported.
PPX NOTES
---------
Software support for the Xircom Parallel Port Multiplexor (PPX) is
programmed into the DOS drivers provided on the current version of the
Xircom Network Drivers diskette. The network device driver will detect
whether or not PPX hardware is present. DO NOT load a separate PPX
driver (i.e., PPX.COM or PPX.SYS).
When you use the Xircom adapter with a Xircom Parallel Port Multiplexor
(PPX) and a printer, be sure that your printer is turned on before
you load your network drivers.
The PE2NDIS.OS2 and PE2ODI.OS2 drivers do not support the Xircom Parallel
Port Multiplexor (PPX). Local printing is supported under DOS only.
Some machines with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) capability may not
support EPP mode when used in conjunction with a PPX.
EPP NOTES
---------
The drivers on this disk support personal computers (PCs) that have
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) capability. This new high-speed technology
has been incorporated into Intel's new 25Mhz SL chip set in the 82360SL
I/O controller. To enable EPP mode on an EPP-capable computer, see your
Xircom User's Guide.
This release contains a newer version of the EPP utility files.
Please note that the network drivers on this disk MUST be used
with the EPP utility files on this disk. The EPP utility files
on this disk will support previous versions of the network drivers.
As of this release, the following EPP-capable PCs have been or
are currently being tested:
AST Power Exec 3/25SL
Compaq Contura
Compaq LTE Lite/20 and Lite/25**
DECpc 325p
Dell 325 NC
Dell NL25
Everex Carrier SL/25
GRiD 1660
IBM N45 SL
NEC Ultralite SL/25c
NCR 3170 Safari
Panasonic CS-480
Zenith MastersPort SLe
Zenith Z-Lite
Zenith Z-Note 320L and 325L
** To enable the EPP utility on the COMPAQ LTE Lite, first use
Compaq's SETUP program to change the default LPT port to LPT2.
DEC NOTES
---------
When using DEC PCSA and the PE2DLL.EXE driver, neither DEC's NCP
loop-circuit/node nor the NCP show-line-char/counters command is
supported at this time. LAT services cannot be deleted in LATCP.
MACHINE-SPECIFIC ISSUES
-----------------------
When using the Mitsuba Ninja or the Packard Bell 286 LPV under Novell
NetWare, interrupt 7A must be disabled by creating a SHELL.CFG file
which contains the line: INT7A=OFF
When using the COMPAQ LTE Lite/20 or Lite/25 in EPP mode, run Compaq's
setup program and change the printer port from LPT1 to LPT2 before
loading the Xircom EPP utility to enable EPP mode. When the network
driver is loaded, a message will indicate that LPT1 is being used.
