Installing Peripherals (Parallel/Serial/Ethernet) 5-11
5.03.2 SETTING UP ETHERNET
Cabling
The VIPer808 is configured with either the Ethernet 10 Base-T or 10 Base-2 interface.
The 10 Base-T interface uses UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables, category 5,4 or 3 (5
is better). The 10 Base-2 interface uses Thin Ethernet coaxial cables (RG-58). The
impedance is 50 ohms.
Configuration
The Ethernet controller on the VIPer808 is Plug and Play, therefore no manual
configuration is normally required. A diskette entitled “Network Drivers for AM79C961”
is included with the Ethernet option. This diskette contains several operating system
network drivers. You must refer to the READ_NET.TXT (ASCII) or READ_NET.DOC
(WORD 6.0) file, also on the diskette, for instructions on installing the drivers.
Once the proper Ethernet driver is installed, the onboard Plug and Play BIOS and the
driver automatically allocates resources - I/O addresses, IRQ and DMA channels - to the
Ethernet device.
In some cases, it might be absolutely necessary to manually configure the Ethernet
Controller. This is the case when several ISA cards (non Plug and Play) use resources that
might be allocated to the Ethernet controller. A special utility called the PCNETCFG.EXE
was designed for such situations; it will allow you to manually configure the Ethernet
controller.
For the PCNETCFG.EXE utility, other operating system drivers and installation
instructions, or for more information, contact TEKNOR’s Technical Support department.
