INTRODUCnON
The Xircom Pocket Ethernet Adapter
III,
shown
in
Figure
1,
allows you to
connect an
IBM
or compatible
PC
to an Ethernet
or
EEE
802.3
local area
network
(LAN).
The Adapter connects externally to a standard parallel
printer port, which eliminates the need
to
open the computer case
to
install
an internal
card.
Xircom Adapters
are
ideal
for
notebook, laptop, and desktop computer
users who need a flexible
LAN
connectivity solution. Xircom Adapters
contain no contiguration switches, and
are
not
subject
to
the address and
interrupt conflicts common with internal adapters.

To
install
the Pocket Ethernet Adapter
III,
you need the following:
1.
A
supported local area network operating system. See the section
on
Software
Setup
and
@emtion
for information
about
networks
for which Xircom supplies drivers.
2.
For connection to a 1OBASE-2
thin
Ethernet cable, a
BNC
T
connector (supplied);
if
the T connection
is
at the end of a cable
segment, you will also need a 5CLohm terminator (not supplied).
3.
For connection to a 1OBASE-T twisted pair Ethernet cable, a dual
twisted pair cable terminated with RJ-45 modular jacks (AT&T or
DEW, or
similar).

PORT
PERFORMANCE
The
type
of parallel
port
on your computer can significantly affect the
performance of the Pocket Ethernet Adapter
III.
If
your Pc's parallel
port
supports bidirectional mode, you can expect an improvement of up to
50%
in the input
transfer
rate over a standard non-bidirectional parallel
port.
If
your computer supports
Enhanced Pardlel Pott
(EPP) technol-
ogy, data
will
be transmitted through the Adapter at three to four times
the rate of a standard parallel
port.
All
Xirmm
LAN
Adapters
are
compat-
ible with Enhanced Parallel Port technology. A utility program
is
supplied
with the Pocket Ethernet Adapter
111
to enable
EPP
mode.
See
the
Confsgurution
and Diugn-
section for detailed
instructions
on
its
use.
Some
PC
designs allow the parallel printer port to be switched between
bidire-ctional and non-bidirectional modes of operation, while others
support
only
one mode.
To
find out
if
your parallel
port
is
switchable, or
if
it
is
EPP-compliant, refer to the user documentation for your computer
or contact the computer manufacturer.

DIAGNOSTIC
SELF
TEST
In addition to the diagnostic and power-on indicators
described
at the
beginning
of
this
section, Xircom provides a
self
test diagnostics program
called
PJi3"EST.
This
program, located on the Network Drivers diskette,
tests the Pocket Ethernet Adapter

configuration, setup, checksum, and
memory. It
also
reports

results,
the
serial

Tests
The Hardware test verifies that the Adapter

The EEPROM
test
reads
the EEPROM and
verifies EEPROM data
(this

where the Adapter‘s
serial

Init
test initializes the Adapter memory and
Ethernet controller. The Memory test tests the

COMMAND UNE
PARAMHERS
This
appendix contains instructions for using driver parameter settings
other than
those
described
in
the
Sofrware
Setup
and
0pet.atiOn
section.
The driver
types
are listed in alphabetical order:
Artisoft,
DECnet,
NDIS,
ODI, and packet.
In
most
cases
the Xircom driver will
be
able to auto-
matically configure for the correct parallel
pon,
interrupt value, and
EPP,
bidirectional, or non-bidirectional mode.
ARTISOFT
LANTASTIC/AI
4.1
DRMR PARAMITERS
The Xircom
Artisoft
driver PE3AILAN.COM is self-configuring and
therefore
finds
its own
LPT
and interrupt values and correctly selects
bidirectional or non-bidirectional mode under most circumstances.
Should
it
be necessary to override the self-configured parameters, use
one or more of the following options on the command line with
PE3ATLAN:

User's
Guide
67
NON
forces the driver to
run
in non-bidirectional mode. Without the
"NON"
keyword, the driver autocodigures to bidirectional or non-
bidirectional mode.
XEROX
sets
the packet
type
to Xerox Ethemet. Without the
"XEROX"
keyword, the driver defaults to 802.3.
LPT-
requires
a
number from 1 to 3
which
designates the physical
parallel port to
which
the Adapter is connected:
LPTl,
LPT2,
or LPT3.
Default
(if
parameter not specified)
is
autoconfiguration.
IRQ-
requires a number designating the parallel port
hardware
interrupt
(for example, IRQ3 or
IRQ=7).
Default
(if
parameter not specified)
is
autocoofiguration.
MPX=
requires the multiplexed interrupt
ID
in hexadecimal notation
(C@
FF,
default
is
0.
PACKET_SIZE=
requires the
maximum
packet size in decimal notation
(574-1500, default
is
1500).

PARAMETERS
See the alphabetical
listing
of
network
operating
systems
in
the
Softwarn
Setup
and
Installation
section to determine whether your network
uses
an
NDIS
driver.
PE3NDIS.EXE and PE3NDIS.OS2
are
NDIS
drivers that support the Pocket
Ethernet Adapter
III.
The PROTOCOL.INI file used with these drivers
must contain the module name and
DRIVERNAME
as
follows:
[
XIRCOEDJET]
DRIVERNAME
=
XIRCOMS
When the PE3NDIS command
is
executed, the Adapter will automatically
find and
use
an
appropriate parallel port and interrupt value and select
bidirectional or non-bidirectional mode. Should
it
be
necessary to
override the self-configured values,
use
an
ASCII
text
editor to add the
appropriate combination
of
the parameters
listed
below
to
the
PROTOCOLINI

is
connected:
LPT1,
LPT2,
or
LpT3.
Default
(if
parameter not specified) is autocodguntion.
INT-
requires
a number designating the parallel
port
hardware interrupt
(for example,
INT-5
or
INT=7).
Default
(if

is
autoconfiguration.
Use
0
(zero) to force the Adapter into a polled mode.
IOADDRES=
requires an

Default
(if

LINKDISABLE
disables

PARAMmRS
See
the alphabetical
listing
of network
operating
systems
in
the
Softwclw
Setup
and
Instalkation
section to determine whether your network
uses
an
OD1
driver.
The
OD1
driver PE30DI.COM uses
its
default
settings
unless
other
options
are
specified
in
the
NET.CFG
file.
This
file
is
supplied
on
the
Xircom Network Drivers diskette and must be present
in
the same
directory
as
the
OD1
driver.
While the
Xircom
OD1
driver defaults to Ethernet frame
type
802.2, the
NET.CFG
file
supplied
on
the Xircom diskette
sets
both 802.2 and 802.3.
Therefore the Xircom
NET.CFG
file
must
be used
if
your network frame
type
is
802.3.
To
change
any parameters,
use
an
ASCII

to
open
and modify
the

designates support for multiple Ethernet frame

One or
more types can be used. Refer to your NetWare documentation for more
information. The Xircom OD1 driver's default frame
type
is
802.2,
but the
NET.CFG
file supplied with the OD1 driver on the Xircom Drivers
diskette
sets
both
802.2
and
802.3.
Therefore
if
your networks frame
type
is
802.3,
you
must
use Xircom's NET.CFG with the OD1 driver.
NON
forces the driver to
run
in non-bidirectional mode. Without the
"NON" keyword, the driver autoconfigures to bidirectional or nonbidirectional mode.
LFI'
requires a space followed by a number from
1
to

which designates
the physical parallel port to
which
the Adapter
is
connected:
LPT1,
LFT2,
or
LFT3.
Default
(if

is

INT
requires a space followed by a number designating the parallel
port
hadware interrupt (for example,
INT=5
or
INT=7).
Default
(if
parameter
not specified)
is
autoconfiguration.
Use
0
(zero) to force the Adapter into
a polled mode.
IOADDRFSS
requires a space followed by
an
VO
address in hexadeci-
mal
notation
(0x240
to

Default
(if
parameter not
spedied)
is
autoconfiguration.
LINKDISABLE
disables
link
integrity for operation with non-1OBASE-T
networks
such
as
StarLAN
10.
Without the
"LINKDISABLE"
keyword
in
the NET.CFG fie, the driver defaults to

ENABLED.
Instructions for loading the appropriate OD1 files and drivers are provided in the
Soflwam

PACKET
DRIVER
PARAMETERS
Packet driver parameters must
be
stated on the command line with the
PE3PD.COM packet driver.
See
the alphabetical listing of network operating systems in the
Software
Setup
and
Instalkalion
section to determine whether your network
uses
a
packet driver.
The packet driver supplied on the Xircom Network Drivers diskette
is
based on
FIP
Software's
public domain specification. The driver file
PE3PD.COM
is
located in the \PKTDRV
directory
on the Drivers diskette.
Refer to your network documentation
for
instructions on how to
install
the packet driver with your network Most installations should
be
able to
use
the default
settings
listed below.
To
change the default
settings,
use
the appropriate keywords and
settings
on the PE3PD.COM command line
when loading the packet driver.
The Xircom packet driver PE3PD.COM
is
self-configuring and therefore
finds
its
own
LPT
and interrupt values and correctly selects bidirectional
or non-bidirectional mode under most
drcumstan
ces.
Should it
be
necessary to ovemde the
self-configured
parameters,
use
the following
command line
options
(keywords

not

sensitive):

The default
is
60.
UPIZ
requires
a

to which the Adapter
is
connected:
LpT1,
LFT2,
or
LpT3.
Default

LlNKDISABIE
disables
