8. HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Before attempting to install the card into your system, please make sure of the following:
Shut off the power to the computer and any peripherals. It is important to remove the

power cable to the computer to reduce the possibility of residual power remaining in
the power supply.

Ground yourself. Many electronic components inside computer and on the card can be
severely damaged by receiving a shock of static electricity. Before touching any
electronic components or boards, discharge any static electricity on your body by
touching the bare metal case around the power supply inside your computer. Avoid
excessive movement during the installation, such as walking across carpets, as this can

DSS NETWORKS, INC. Version: 2.6 Page: 24

GigMAC-PMC and PCI
GigPMC Switch Board and Driver Users Manual

generate static. If you must leave the installation area before the installation is
complete, be sure to ground yourself again before continuing the installation.

Assess system power requirements. If you already have other PCI cards in your
Mac, make sure that your system is able to provide the necessary power to support the
addition of the adapter card. Check your computer's user manual for power limitations.

8.1 INSTALLATION IN PC COMPUTER

There are many different styles and types of PC platforms that utilize PCI slots. This
section contains a generic installation procedure. Please refer to your User's manual for
more detailed instructions on installing the adapter in a PC.

The PMC cards require a PMC-to-PCI Carrier adapter module in order to be used in a
standard PCI system. Please refer to section 2.2 below for instructions on installing a
PMC adapter onto a mainboard carrier adapter.

Step 1 - Shut down the power to the computer system and remove the power cord and
any peripheral cables.

Step 2 - Open the computer case. This will expose the interior of the case and allow the
adapter card to be installed. Consult your User's Manual for assistance in opening your
computer. The PCI card edge connector contains “key” notches that correspond to
dividers in the motherboard slot. It is very important to align the key notches with the
matching dividers in the slot. Failure to align the notches correctly could cause the card
or slot to be damaged.

Step 3 - Align the PCI edge connector and the system motherboard socket. Once
aligned, push down firmly on the PCI card until it is completely seated in the slot. Once
the adapter card has been successfully installed, close the PC case, re-attach the
power cable and any other cables that were removed for the hardware installation
procedure. Consult Section 2.3 for information on connecting the adapter to the
network.

8.2 EMBEDDED OR COMPACT PCI INSTALLATION

There are many different styles and types of Embedded System platforms that utilize
PMC Mezzanine slots. This section contains a generic installation procedure. Please
refer to your User's manual for more detailed instructions on installing the adapter in an
Embedded or CompactPCI system.

Step 1 - Shut down the power to the computer system and remove the power cord and
any peripheral cables.

DSS NETWORKS, INC. Version: 2.6 Page: 25

GigMAC-PMC and PCI
GigPMC Switch Board and Driver Users Manual

Step 2 – Remove the CompactPCI or Embedded Mainboard controller from the system,
if necessary to access the PMC slot. This will allow the PMC adapter card to be more
easily installed. Consult your User's Manual for assistance in opening and removing the
mainboard. The PMC card has 3 connectors labeled JN1, JN2 and JN3. JN1 and JN2
are required for all modes of operation while JN3 is required only for 64-bit mode. Your
CompactPCI mainboard or other PMC carrier will also contain PMC card connectors
labeled JN1 and JN2, and optionally JN3 and JN4. JN4 is for optional user-defined I/O
and is only used by the Model 5468 GigPMC switch. Additionally, the mainboard may
also contain either a 5 volt or 3.3 volt key to prevent voltage mismatches. Since the
PMC card may operate from a 5 or 3.3 volt supply, it can be used in either a 5 or 3.3
volt keyed system. It is very important to align the connectors before pressing the PMC
card onto the mainboard to prevent damage to the card or slot.

Step 3 - Align the PMC connectors and the system motherboard Connectors and push
down firmly on the PMC card until it is completely seated in the connectors on the
mainboard. Once the adapter card has been successfully installed, re-install the
mainboard. Re-attach the power cable and any other cables that were removed for the
hardware installation procedure.

Connecting Fiber optic Model 6267-SFP, 5261-LC, 5262-LC, 5263-SFP

This section explains how to connect the fiber cards to the external network using
standard fiber optic cables. Typically 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optic cables with
LC or SC type connectors are used depending on the connector option. For extended
distance, single-mode fiber can be used in models equipped with extended range
single-mode connectors.

Insert the fiber optic cable into the SC or LC type connector until the self-locking tab
clicks into position. Connect the opposite end in to a 1000 Base SX switch. Two types of
cables are used when connecting the fiber cards to the network. A workstation or
"straight through" cable is typically used to connect Ethernet adapters to switches. A
fiber “crossover” cable may also be used to connect controllers back-to-back. This
configuration is useful for loopback and/or diagnostic purposes or when a switch is not
available.

6162, 6267-SFP, 5263-SFP (copper models)

This section explains how to connect the adapter cards to the external network using
the standard Category 5e, 5e or 6 cables. The maximum cable length is typically 100
meters or 328 feet.

Insert the Category 5e cable into the RJ-45 connector until the self-locking tab clicks
into position. Connect the opposite end in to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Base T switch.
Two types of cables are used when connecting the adapter cards to the network. A
workstation or "straight through" cable is typically used to connect Ethernet adapters to
switches. A “crossover” cable may also be used to connect controllers back-to-back.
This configuration is useful for diagnostic purposes or when a hub or switch is not
available. However, it is not recommended for extended use, as it violates the IEEE
specification for 10 Mbit, 100 Mbit and 1000 Mbit Ethernet networks.

Note(1): Models 5164, 5264, 5261-RJ, 5262-RJ, 5468, 6468 and 6162 and 6267-RJ
support “auto-MDIX” mode where a crossover cable is not required when directly
attaching two controllers.

Note(2): Cables used for Gigabit networks must use all 8 wires. In 10 and 100 modes,
wires are dedicated for transmit or receive while in Gigabit mode, data is transmitted
and received over all 4-pairs.

10. SOFTWARE DRIVER INSTALLATION

The following sections explain how to install the driver software in VxWorks, and Linux
based systems.

10.1 LINUX DRIVER INSTALLATION AND USAGE

These instructions assume that you are running Red Hat Linux 7.x, 8.x, 9.x or a similar
Linux OS. You should be using at least a kernel version 2.4.18 installation for any other
Red Hat-based system will be similar. For other Linux based systems, the location of
some files may be slightly different.

Building the driver

To build the driver, copy the driver files to an appropriate directory. You will need to
make sure your CD is mounted.

$ mkdir dpm
$ cd dpm
$ cp /mnt/cdrom/linux-dpm-driver/dpm/dpm*.tar.gz .
$ gunzip dpm*.tar.gz
$ tar vxf dpm*.tar

To create a new driver object module:

$ make clean
$ make

Repeat same procedure with driver utility directory as follows:

DSS NETWORKS, INC. Version: 2.6 Page: 28

GigMAC-PMC and PCI
GigPMC Switch Board and Driver Users Manual

$ mkdir util
$ cd util
$ cp /mnt/cdrom/linux-dpm-driver/util/util*.tar.gz .
$ gunzip util*.tar.gz
$ tar vxf util*.tar

To create a new utility programs:

$ make clean
$ make

Note(1): If you are installing the adapter cards in an SMP machine, you should
comment out the standard CFLAGS line in the “Makefile” and uncomment the SMP
version of CFLAGS before compiling the driver (safe to leave SMP enabled on newer
versions of Linux (2.4.18 – 2.4.26, 2.6).

Note(2): Before compiling, please also edit the Makefile and set “INCLUDEDIR” to the
path of your Linux kernel source tree. For example:

INCLUDEDIR = /usr/src/linux-2.4.25/include

Installing the driver

To install the driver object module in the file system, become root and run:

# make install
# depmod –a
# insmod dpm.o

Note(1): For loading driver with Intel 82546 based cards, use ‘ChipSelector=1’ or leave
blank (default)

Note(2): For loading driver with National DP83820 based cards, use ‘ChipSelector=0’
Note(3): ‘modprobe’ may be used in place of ‘insmod’ to resolve module dependencies.

Configure the card using your preferred configuration tool, or edit the initialization script
for the interface directly. On Red Hat, the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
might look something like this (substituting ethernet device number, example: eth0,
eth1, etc):

DEVICE='eth1'
BOOTPROTO='none'
ONBOOT='yes'
IPADDR=192.168.0.3
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

USERCTL=no
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255

Note: You should also add a line to /etc/modules.conf for each interface as shown in the
following example:

SAMPLE MODULES.CONF FILE

alias eth1 dpm
alias eth2 dpm
alias eth3 dpm
alias eth4 dpm
options dpm ChipSelector=1 IntrHoldOff=0

Note: In order to load the Intel driver, the "ChipSelector=1" option (the default) can be
set in the 'options' field of modules.conf. Please see man page for modules.conf for
additional information on module configuration.

MANUAL DRIVER INSTALLATION

insmod ./dpm.o # to insert driver module
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.3 # if not already configured by system

Once driver is inserted you may need to run "ifconfig" command or it may be run
automatically by the system.

MANUAL DRIVER REMOVAL

ifdown eth[n] # repeat for all 'dpm' network interfaces
rmmod dpm # to remove driver module

LOADING THE DRIVER FOR INTEL BASED MODELS (5261, 5262, 5164, etc.)

Note: In order to load the Intel driver, the "ChipSelector=1" option is not required during
the 'insmod' as it is the default option:

insmod ./dpm.o [ChipSelector=1]

DSS NETWORKS, INC. Version: 2.6 Page: 30

GigMAC-PMC and PCI
GigPMC Switch Board and Driver Users Manual

TUNING THE INSTALLATION

Interrupt holdoff (programmed latency)
To increase (or decrease) the value of the programmed interrupt latency, insert the

module and set the "IntrHoldOff" parameter as follows:

insmod ./dpm.o IntrHoldOff=1 # value can be 0, 1, 2 or 3

Note: A value greater than 3 is not recommended.

Other driver parameters that can be set during driver load or in modules.conf:

MediaSpeed=10,100,1000 # Media Speed (default 1000)

SetAutoNeg=0,1 # Setting for auto negotiation (default 1=auto)

DuplexMode=0,1 # Setting for duplex (default 1=FULL)

IntrHoldOff=0,1,2 # interrupt holdoff value in 100 microsecond
units

duplex to this value.

This parameter enables or disables pause frame
flow control (typically enabled).

This value delays the generation of receive
interrupts in units of 100 microseconds. Receive
interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if
properly tuned for specific network traffic.
Increasing this value adds extra latency to frame
reception and if set too high could decrease the
throughput of TCP traffic.

If auto negotiation id disabled, speed forces the
line speed to the specified value in megabits per
second (Mbps). If auto negotiation is enabled,
sets the highest speed advertised.

FUNCTIONALITY TESTING

When the driver is loaded into the system via `insmod' it probes the PCI bus to locate all
DP83820 devices, and creates control structures for each. The driver logs a couple of
messages available in `/var/log/messages' for each device with information about its
PCI geographic location, IRQ, IO address, and some basic debug information
(addresses of some important structures).

All the devices on the PCI bus can be listed by,

# cat /proc/pci
# cat /proc/interrupts

IRQ and IO address information from this can be correlated with the information
displayed by the driver in `/var/log/messages'

When the TCP/IP stack is initialized, it opens all configured ethernet devices, and
initializes them for use. At this time, the driver will perform auto negotiation and log
information about the link status. The driver can then be tested by running ping, telnet,
ftp, NFS etc.

Suggested basic verifications to be run

lsmod # lists loaded drivers
ifconfig # lists configured network interfaces
dmUtil -s eth[n] # prints low-level driver statistics for device

Verification and performance testing can be done using the Linux "uxBlaster" and
"uxBlastee" test programs found on OEM developer kit CD. The 'dmUtil' utility program
also found on the CD can be used to obtain valuable information used for debug and
integration verification.

dmUtil -s eth0 # displays low-level driver statistics

DSS NETWORKS, INC. Version: 2.6 Page: 33

GigMAC-PMC and PCI
GigPMC Switch Board and Driver Users Manual

dmUtil -m eth0 # displays DP83820 MAC controller registers
dmUtil -p eth0 # displays gigabit (phy) transceiver registers
dmUtil -e eth0 # displays eeprom
dmUtil -a eth0 # displays mac address
dmUtil -ms eth0 # displays mac stats (Intel only)

LOOPBACK PERFORMANCE TESTING

1. Edit 'Makefile'

2. Un-comment the following define:

CFLAGS += -DNS_FRAME_TEST -DIN_FRAME_TEST

3. Save file, unload and reload driver using procedures described above.

4. Use "ifconfig" command to bring up Ethernet interface.

5. Run the following command from the 'util' directory:
./dmUtil -l eth1 # loopback eth0, eth1, etc.

6. View statistics using dmUtil command as follows:
./dmUtil -s eth1 1 # second arg=1 zeroes statistics after gathering
Note: The driver must be compiled without "-DNS_FRAME_TEST" for normal

operation.
Jumbo frames: The mtu size can be increased using the ifconfig utility, as

follows:
# ifconfig <interface-name> mtu <mtu-size>
Example: ifconfig eth0 mtu 3000

Note: Use of jumbo frames is not recommended as it is not IEEE standard and many
switches do not support the forwarding of jumbo frames. It also has to be enabled and
negotiated on both ends of the connection and in today’s faster systems, using jumbo
frames offers little performance improvement and may only be useful in closed
application-specific networks.

Using dmUtil dpm driver utility:

The “dpm driver utility” is used to capture detailed board levels statistics, controller
registers and to set loopback mode. Example usage of the “dmUtil” are as follows:

dmUtil -s eth1 # get driver statistics for interface 1

dmUtil –p eth1 # get phy (transceiver) registers for interface 1

dmUtil –m eth1 # get MAC (PCI controller) registers for interface 10

dmUtil –t eth1 # get execution debug trace for interface1

(DEBUG_FLAGS trace option must be compiled in)

dmUtil –e eth1 # get eeprom configuration settings

dmUtil –ms eth1 # get mac MIB statistics

dmUtil –a eth1 # get mac address

dmUtil –w eth1 <0,1,2> # write default eeprom configuration to controller

dmUtil –l eth1 <arg> # set controller in internal loopback mode

(driver must be compiled with –DNS_FRAME_TEST
in Makefile). Arg=1 for enable, 0 for disable.

10.4 DPM DRIVER MANAGEMENT API

The dpm network driver management API is an api extension primarily used by the
‘dmUtil’ command line utility to enable various management functions or to acquire
driver status and statistics. The typical api usage sequence is as follows:

1. User enters ‘dmUtil’ command and parameters as shown in the following
example:

./dmUtil –s eth1

2. dmUtil parses command line and prepares an “ioctl” request block to send to
driver. A pointer to a application buffer to hold the text message results (for
example formatted statistics) is provided by dmUtil in the request block.

3. Driver receives ioctl request block performs action and copies result data to
applications message buffer.

The following is an API description of the management ioctl commands issued to the
driver from the ‘dmUtil’ application’s viewpoint:

DSS NETWORKS, INC. Version: 2.6 Page: 45

GigMAC-PMC and PCI
GigPMC Switch Board and Driver Users Manual

A. Opening a socket for management API

int s;

s = socket (PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

B. Create request block for driver ioctl

struct ifreq ifr;
int subCmd;
NpkUserCtl myIoc;

char myDataBuf[MAX_LINES * MAX_LINE_LEN];

/* set interface name */
strcpy (ifr.ifr_name, “eth1”);

/* set ioctl sub-type */
subCmd = DM_IOCTL_GET_STATS;

/* set command argument */

myIoc.arg1 = 0;

myIoc.dataItm = (u_int) myDataBuf;
ifr.ifr_data = (char *) &myIoc;

C. Issue ioctl command

/* issue ioctl to network driver */
err = ioctl (s, SIOCDEVPRIVATE + subCmd, &ifr);

D. Check and print results

if (err < 0)
{
/* perror (errno); */
usage ();
exit (1);
}
if (subCmd == DM_IOCTL_GET_TRC)
{
print_trace();
}
else
{
if ((subCmd != DM_IOCTL_SET_LOOP_MODE) &&
(subCmd != DM_IOCTL_PROG_EEPROM))
printf ("\n%s\n", myDataBuf);
}

Note: This section is applicable for Model 5468 GigPMC and Model 6468 GigPCIe
switch/interface cards only.

The following functions are provide a low-level access capability for reading and writing
the configuration and management registers on the embedded switch:

Functions to reset and initialize switch:

STATUS inResetSwitchDevice(int unit, int initialReset);

LOCAL void inLiInitBcm5388(InLiDev *pLiDev);

DSS NETWORKS, INC. Version: 2.6 Page: 47

GigMAC-PMC and PCI
GigPMC Switch Board and Driver Users Manual

Functions to read and write registers in the switch:

STATUS inReadSpiReg(int unit, int page, int offset, int bCnt, UINT8 *pData);

STATUS inWriteSpiReg8(int unit, int page, int offset, int val);

STATUS inWriteSpiReg16(int unit, int page, int offset, int val);

STATUS inWriteSpiReg32(int unit, int page, int offset, int val);

Note: The Intel device driver supporting the Model 5468/6468 cards initializes the
switch by writing a default configuration during initialization. This is performed in the
Intel driver initialization using the function “inLiInitBcm5388()”. This function may be
modified to make changes to the default configuration. Additional switch management
functions may be implemented using the low-level register access API shown. For
additional information and register programming details, please contact technical
support.

11. TESTING AND VERIFICATION

There are several ways to test your adapter on vxWorks and Linux platforms. This
section provides suggestions on how you may test and verify your installation. Before
you can proceed with any of the suggested tests, you must have previously configured
your TCP/IP protocols and interfaces on your computer. Please refer to your online help
and User Manuals for your particular system on instructions on setting up your TCP/IP
environment.

 ICMP Ping. Ping is a simple verification method and it very useful for verification of

cabling, adapter configuration and system configuration of the TCP/IP protocol
software. You can also specify a “fast ping” and larger message sizes in order to
more effectively test the protocols and adapter interface.

 FTP File Transfer. FTP is also an available method for testing your installation. FTP

allows you to test by transferring files of different sizes. Using large file transfers is a
good way to test medium transfer rates through the protocol stack.

 HTTP Web Browsing. Is a good means of testing the pr otocols and interface to the

adapter.

 Telnet. Using Telnet you can log into another system and invoke commands to send

a receive data. You can also test multiple connections within a single window by
repetitively Telnet’ing back and forth between multiple systems.

 Windows Explorer. In a Windows environment, you can also use the Windows

explorer to access files on other systems within your Workgroup or Domain.

 Blaster / blastee can be used to perform TCP throughput tests between VxWorks,

Linux and Windows platforms. These test programs are included on the OEM
developer CD.

 Internal loopback: The vxWorks and Linux drivers can be placed into internal

loopback for a full-speed raw driver and controller throughput test. This is very useful
for getting a baseline throughput measurement and also for verifying the robustness
of the controller and driver in your system.
