8003/8013 FAMILY LAN ADAPTER SETUP PROGRAM
USER DOCUMENTATION
EZSETUP is a configuration program that operates with these
8003/8013 family Ethernet adapters:
o 8003EB - 8-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software
only
o 8003W - 8-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by
software only
o 8003EP - 8-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software
or jumpers
o 8003WP - 8-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by
software or jumpers
o 8013EP - 16-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software
or jumpers
o 8013W - 16-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by
software or jumpers
o 8013EW - 16-bit coaxial and twisted pair adapter
configurable by software or jumpers
o 8013EPC - 16-bit coaxial adapter configurable by software
or jumpers
o 8013WC - 16-bit twisted pair adapter configurable by
software or jumpers
o 8013EWC - 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.
