Software Drivers A driver for the MacPHYTER-II card is currently available for the following operating systems: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Microsoft Windows XP Microsoft Windows 2K (NDIS 5) Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (NDIS 4) Microsoft Windows ME (NDIS 5) Microsoft Windows 98 and 98SE (NDIS 4 and 5) Microsoft Windows 95 (NDIS 4) Microsoft Windows CE 3.x and 4.x Novell Netware 4.x, 5.x, 6.x Linux 2.4 UINXware 7.x OpenServer 5.x DOS: ODI, NDIS 2, Packet Drivers VxWorks FreeBSD PXE solution 5 This user's guide provides instructions for installing the drivers for the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows XP, 2K, 98SE, ME, NT, 95 and Linux. NDIS and Windows The Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) is a proprietary Microsoft standard for software drivers of Network Interface Controller (NIC) cards. The NDIS ensures that all drivers for a given media have the same Applications Program Interface (API). With each major operating system release, Microsoft provides a new version of the Network Driver Interface Specification. NDIS 4 was created for Windows 95 and NT 4.0, while NDIS 5 was created for Windows 2K and XP. For backward compatibility, Windows versions can usually use drivers that comply with previous NDIS versions. A MacPHYTER-II driver is available for NDIS 4 and 5. In general, you should use the driver with the newest NDIS version that will work with your operating system (e.g. NDIS 5 for Windows XP, NDIS 4 for Windows NT). Some users, however, may require a driver with a particular NDIS version for their environment. 6 Installation This section describes the installation of the MacPHYTER-II card into a personal computer (PC). To install the card, you need: • • • • • • the MacPHYTER-II Demo card a PC with an available PCI slot screwdrivers to open the PC and secure the Demo card a Category 5 twisted-pair RJ-45 cable a wrist strap a blank, formatted floppy disk Installing the card consists of four required stages: Copying the Driver to a Floppy Disk, Inserting the Card, Connecting the Network, and Installing the Driver. I. Copying the Driver to a Floppy Disk You need to first copy the software driver from the URL below to a floppy disk. For this stage you will need the blank floppy, and a computer equipped with a floppy disk drive that has internet access. 1. 2. Insert the blank floppy into the computer. Connect to the following URL on the web: http://www.national.com/appinfo/networks/ 3. 4. 5. Under “Design Resources” choose “Software Drivers”. Then choose the driver you need. If you are running Windows, you should use the highest NDIS version available for your version of Windows. You may also use an earlier NDIS version if you choose. See “NDIS and Windows” in this User’s Guide for details. Copy all of the drivers you need to the floppy disk. Eject the floppy. II. Inserting the Card The second stage in the installation sequence is inserting the card into the PC. For this stage you will need the MacPHYTER-II card and the screwdrivers. Unplug the PC before opening it to avoid electrocution. Be sure to ground yourself before handling the MacPHYTER-II card to avoid ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) damage to the card. 7 1. 2. 3. 4. Shutdown the PC, and disconnect the power cord. Open the chassis of the PC. Choose an unused PCI slot and remove its metal bracket by loosening the screw on the inside. You will no longer need this metal bracket as the MacPHYTER-II card has its own. You will need the screw, however. Remove the MacPHYTER-II card from the ESD-safe packaging. Warning: Static charge from your body can permanently damage the MacPHYTER-II card. Do not handle the card without first electrically grounding yourself via wrist strap or by touching a large piece of metal. 5. Insert the MacPHYTER-II card into the empty PCI slot in the PC. Orient the card so that the RJ-45 connector points out of the computer (See Figure 2). Warning: The card may fit backwards (with the RJ-45 pointing in) into the PCI slot. Starting the computer with the card inserted backwards may damage the card and/or the PC. RJ-45 PCI Slot MacPHYTER-II Card Figure 2: Correct orientation of the MacPHYTER-II card (top view). 6. 7. When you are certain the card is oriented correctly, press firmly on the card to ensure that it is completely seated in the PCI slot. Secure the MacPHYTER-II card using the screw from step 3. Close the computer, and reconnect the power cord. 8 III. Connecting the Network The third stage in the installation sequence is connecting the MacPHYTER-II card to the network. In this stage, you will need only the twisted-pair Category 5 network cable. After you have inserted the card and closed the PC, connect one end of the twisted-pair cable to the RJ-45 connector on the MacPHYTER-II card, and the other end to another PC or a network hub or switch (see Figure 4). When connecting the card to another PC, the cable will need to be crossover, meaning that pins 1 and 2 must be swapped with pins 3 and 6, respectively, between the two ends of the cable. A crossover cable should not be used when connecting the MacPHYTER-II card to a network hub or switch. The difference between a crossover and non-crossover (“straight”) cable is shown in Figure 3. RJ-45 1 2 3 6 1 2 3 6 RJ-45 1 2 3 6 RJ-45 Figure 3(a): “Straight” Twisted-Pair Cable RJ-45 1 2 3 6 Figure 3(b): “Crossover” Twisted-Pair Cable The next time you turn on the PC, one of the two green link lights on the MacPHYTER-II card should become illuminated almost immediately. This signifies that the card has established link with the device at the other end of the cable and is ready to send and receive data. 9 To network...

If it presents a dialog box saying that it cannot locate DP83815.sys, choose “Browse” to select the directory the file is in, then double-click on DP83815.sys. When it finishes, it will present a window saying that the driver has been successfully installed. Click on “Finish.” After the driver files have been copied, the machine will need to be restarted. It will prompt you to restart automatically. Remove the floppy disk before restarting. 12 Microsoft Windows 95 Driver Installation Follow this sequence for installation under Microsoft Windows 95. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Restart the computer. During the boot process, a window will appear entitled “Update Device Driver Wizard,” saying that it will complete the installation of the PCI Ethernet Controller. Insert the driver floppy, then press “Next.” Windows will begin searching for a driver. Windows should find the driver automatically, and give the name of the adapter: “National Semiconductor Corp. DP83815/816 10/100 MacPhyter 3v PCI Adapter.” If you see this message, click “Finish,” then go to step 4. Windows will begin copying the driver files to the hard drive. Have the Windows 95 CD or floppy disks handy. Windows will prompt you to use them as necessary. If it presents a dialog box saying that it cannot locate DP83815.sys, click on “Browse,” then double-click on DP83815.sys in the A: directory. Then click “OK.” After the driver files have been copied, the machine will need to be restarted. It will prompt you to restart automatically. Remove the floppy disk before restarting. Linux 2.4 Driver Installation Follow this sequence for installation under Linux 2.4. 1. 2. 3. Start the computer. Boot Linux and log in as root. The MacPHYTER-II driver requires Linux kernel version 2.4. Check the version of your kernel by typing uname -r at the prompt. If it reports a version other than 2.4, you will need to acquire version 2.4 of the kernel and compile it for your PC. Version 2.4 of the kernel is available from: http://kernel.org 13 Instructions for compiling the kernel can be found in the Linux Kernel HOW-TO, by Brian Ward, available from the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) at: http://www.ibiblio.org/Linux/HOWTO/KernelHOWTO.html 4. Check that the kernel has been compiled with loadable module support. At the prompt type cd /proc /bin/ls If modules appears in the list of files, then the kernel was compiled with loadable module support. If modules is not listed, then you must recompile the kernel with loadable module support. The Linux Kernel HOW-TO mentioned in the previous step describes this procedure. 5. Once you have version 2.4 of the kernel with loadable module support running, you are ready to install the MacPHYTER-II driver. Using the driver floppy, copy the driver to the machine by inserting the floppy and typing the following at the prompt: mkdir /nsc mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /nsc cp /nsc/*.o /lib/modules/2.4.0/Kernel/ drivers/net/ umount /dev/fd0 rmdir /nsc These commands assume that the floppy is accessed via / dev/fd0. Use the correct devices for your system. 6. After copying the Linux MacPHYTER-II driver to the modules directory, you need to update the module dependency database. Type /sbin/depmod -a at the prompt. 14 7. You can now load the Linux MacPHYTER-II driver into the kernel by typing /sbin/modprobe dp83815 This command only gives output if there is an error. If you do not see any messages, then the driver is successfully installed. The PC does not need to be rebooted. 8. In order to use the MacPHYTER-II card, the network interface corresponding to the card needs to be enabled and configured using the ifconfig and route commands. This process is beyond the scope of this document, but described in the Linux Net HOWTO available from the Linux documentation project: http://www.ibiblio.org/Linux/HOWTO/NetHOWTO/index.html Linux can be configured to automatically load the MacPHYTER-II driver during the boot sequence. The process for doing this differs between Slackware and Redhat/Debian. Configuration Under Slackware 1. To have the driver loaded automatically at boot time under Slackware, using a text editor such as vi or emacs, add the lines # Load the MacPhyter Linux Driver /sbin/modprobe dp83815 to the end of the file /etc/rc.d/rc.modules (or /etc/ rc.d/rc.local if rc.modules does not exist). 2. Reboot the machine by typing /sbin/reboot 15 Configuration Under RedHat and Debian 1. To have the driver loaded automatically at boot time under RedHat or Debian, using a text editor such as vi or emacs, add the line: # Load the MacPhyter Linux Driver /sbin/modprobe dp83815 to the end of the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/modules.init. 2. Reboot the machine by typing /sbin/reboot Note: For either Slackware or RedHat/Debian, you can unload the MacPHYTER-II Driver at any time by typing /sbin/rmmod dp83815 and reload it by typing /sbin/modprobe dp83815 Both commands must be issued as root. You will need to reconfigure the network interface using ifconfig and route after reloading the driver. Novell NetWare 4.x Driver Installation Follow this sequence for installation under Novell NetWare 4.x. 1. 2. Start the computer and boot DOS. Insert the MacPHYTER-II driver floppy. Copy the MacPHYTER-II driver to the NetWare server directory by typing: copy a:\c83815.lan c:\nwserver copy a:\c83815.ldi c:\nwserver This command assumes your NetWare server files are stored in c:\nwserver. 16 3. Start the NetWare server by typing: c:\nwserver\server 4. To use the MacPHYTER-II driver, you must have version 3.71 or higher of the Novell Multiprocessor Media Support Module (msm.nlm) and version 3.61 or higher of the Novell Ethernet Topology Specific Module (ethertsm.nlm). You can determine which versions of the these modules you have installed by typing modules at the NetWare server prompt. Look for msm.nlm and ethertsm.nlm in the listing. If you see msm.nlm with version 3.71 or higher, and ethertsm.nlm with version 3.61 or higher in the list, then go to step 6. If they are not in the list or have earlier version numbers, you need to acquire the latest versions and install them on your computer. This process is explained in the next step. 5. Updated versions of msm.nlm and ethertsm.nlm are available as patches from the Novell support web page: http://support.novell.com This page allows you to enter the version of NetWare you are running and search for patches for it. The patches iwsp6a.exe for NetWare 4.11 and odi33f.exe for NetWare 4.1 contain versions of msm.nlm and ethertsm.nlm that work with the MacPHYTER-II driver. However, Novell is continually generating new patches, and you should download the most recent ones. Instructions for installing the patches are provided near the patches themselves on the Novell web page. 6. When you have verified that the correct versions of the msm.nlm and ethertsm.nlm modules are installed, load the MacPHYTER-II driver by typing the following at the NetWare server prompt, all on one line (replace the “x” in “SLOT=x” with the slot number of the PCI slot containing the MacPHYTER-II card): 17 LOAD C:\NWSERVER\C83815 SLOT=x FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=C83815_1_E82 If you receive the error: Loader cannot find public symbol: CMSMInitParser then your msm.nlm and ethertsm.nlm modules need to be updated. If you see the statement: Debug symbol information for C83815.LAN loaded then the MacPHYTER-II driver is installed and ready. The machine does not need to be rebooted. 7. To use the driver you need to bind a protocol to it. Type the following at the NetWare server prompt (replace the “y” in “NET=y” with the network address for your LAN segment): BIND IPX C83815_1_E82 NET=y You should now be able to log in to your NetWare server from a client via the MacPHYTER-II card. 8. Log in to your NetWare server from a client as supervisor. Insert the driver floppy into the client and copy the c83815.lan and c83815.ldi files to the SYSTEM directory on the server. Also add the “LOAD” and “BIND” commands from steps 6 and 7 to the end of the autoexec.ncf file in the SYSTEM directory on the server. This causes the MacPHYTER-II driver to be automatically loaded and configured during startup. 18 Installing TCP/IP under Windows 95 or 98 (Optional) Many Microsoft Windows programs require TCP/IP to access the network. To install TCP/IP, you need the Microsoft Windows CD or floppy disks. The process for installing TCP/IP is the same for Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98. Under Windows 2K and XP, TCP/IP is installed automatically when you install the MacPHYTER-II driver. 1. 2. Turn on the computer and boot Windows. Click on the “Start” menu, then choose “Settings” and then “Control Panel.” 3. Open the “Network” icon. 4. A window entitled “Network” will appear. Go to the “Configuration” subpage, and click on the “Add…” button. 5. A window entitled “Select Network Component Type” will appear. Click on “Protocol” from the list of network components, then click on the “Add…” button. 6. A window entitled “Select Network Protocol” will appear. Chose “Microsoft” from the list of manufacturers, then choose “TCP/IP” from the list of network protocols, then click “OK.” 7. The “Network” window will reappear. It should now show the TCP/IP protocol in the list of installed network components. Click on TCP/IP, then choose “Properties.” 8. A window entitled “TCP/IP Properties” will appear. Use this page to set the TCP/IP parameters for the card, such as the IP address, DNS configuration, gateway, subnet mask, etc. When you have entered all of this information, click “OK.” 9. The “Network” window will reappear. Click “OK.” 10. The computer will need to be restarted. It will prompt you to restart automatically. Remove all floppy disks and CDs before restarting the computer. 19 Troubleshooting This section describes the problems that commonly occur during installation, along with their solutions. • Microsoft Windows does not automatically detect that the MacPHYTER-II card has been installed. In this case it is possible that the card is not securely seated in its PCI slot. None of the copper PCI connectors should be visible when the card is completely seated. It is also possible that the PCI slot containing the card is faulty or has been disabled in the BIOS. Try using a different PCI slot. The MacPHYTER-II card may be conflicting with other PCI cards in the system. Remove other PCI cards and restart Windows. Windows 95 and 98 can be forced to look for the MacPHYTER-II card. Through the “Start” menu, view “Settings > Control Panel”. Then open the “Add New Hardware” icon and follow the instructions. Windows 2K and XP has a Wizard to help you with hardware that is installed but not detected or working correctly. To access this wizard, click on “My Computer” using the right mouse button, then choose “Properties” from the menu that appears. A new window will appear. Click on the “Hardware” tab, then click on the “Hardware Wizard…” button, then follow the instructions. • The Linux driver prints the error message, “Initialization of DP83816 failed.” The Linux driver usually prints this message when it is unable to access the MacPHYTER-II card. Check that the card is securely seated in its PCI slot, or try using a different PCI slot. Also try removing other PCI cards and restarting the machine to isolate conflicts. 20 Unlike Microsoft Windows, It is not possible to force Linux to search for the MacPHYTER-II card. However, it is possible to obtain detailed debugging information from the Linux kernel. For instance, all PCI cards that the kernel sees are listed in the file: /proc/pci At any time you can view the contents of this file to see if the MacPHYTER-II card (Vendor ID: 100B Device ID: 0020) is listed. You can also view recent error and status messages from the Linux kernel and MacPHYTER-II driver by viewing the file /var/log/messages.* Messages at the end of this file are the most recent. • There is no link light when the MacPHYTER-II card is connected to another PC or network hub or switch. In this case it is possible that the MacPHYTER-II card is not seated properly in the PCI slot. It is also possible that the network cable is too long (IEEE standard 802.3 section 14.4.2 recommends that the cables not exceed 100 meters in length), or that the cable is faulty. Remember that a crossover cable must be used to connect the card to another PC, but not to a network switch or hub. See the “Connecting the Network” section of this User’s Guide for a description of crossover cables. Finally, check that the PC is turned on! The MacPHYTER-II card cannot establish link without power from the PC. • The MacPHYTER-II Demo card links at 10 Mbps instead of 100 Mbps. This occurs if the device connected to the MacPHYTER-II card is not capable of 100 Mbps communication. When this happens the card links and communicates at 10 Mbps to accommodate the remote device, even though the MacPHYTER-II card is capable of 100 Mbps communication. 21 If you are running Microsoft Windows, the driver might be configured to force the MacPHYTER-II card into 10 Mbps mode. To see if this is the case, open the Control Panels window in the “Settings” sub-menu under the “Start” menu. Then open on the “Network” icon. Click on the MacPHYTER-II card in this list of adapters and click on the “Properties” button. Then click on the “Advanced” tab, and click the “Network Media” property. This property should be set to “Auto Sense.” Any other setting forces the card into a specific mode. This is not a problem with Linux, since the Linux MacPHYTER-II driver cannot force the card into a particular mode. 22 N National Semiconductor Corporation 2900 Semiconductor Drive Santa Clara, CA 95051, U.S.A.

Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
