NETWORK CARD INSTALLATION NOTES
Refer also to the NDIS.DOC file located in the NDIS2 directory
for complete information regarding DOS and OS/2 NDIS2 drivers.
Important PROTOCOL.INI Parameters:
Configuration information is stored in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Two
important PROTOCOL.INI parameters are SIA_MODE, which defines the
serial interface connection (including full-duplex or half-duplex
operation), and DATA_RATE, which specifies the speed the network card
will operate at (10 Mbps [MB10] or 100 Mbps [MB100]).
SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100 network card ONLY:
During the network adapter selection process, the SMC9334BDT
EtherPower 10/100 dual channel network card may be represented as two
SMC9332BDT EtherPower 10/100 adapters (one for each channel). If no
option for 'SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100 Dual Channel' is presented,
select the option for 'SMC9332BDT EtherPower 10/100' for both channels
SMC9332DST EtherPower 10/100 network card ONLY:
Ensure that the line speed (10 Mbps vs. 100 Mbps) configured for the
network card matches the speed of the hub to which it is attached.
The SMC9332DST EtherPower 10/100 network card is default configured
to operate at 100 Mbps.
SMC9332BDT/SMC9332BVT/SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100 network cards ONLY:
The Auto-Negotiation feature of the SMC9332BDT EtherPower 10/100 network
card will set the operating speed of the network card (10 Mbps [MB10]
or 100 Mbps [MB100]). If the attached hub is full duplex capable and uses
Auto-Negotiation, the SMC9332BDT EtherPower 10/100 network card will
configure itself for full duplex operation. If the attached hub is full
duplex capable, but does not use Auto-Negotiation, you must manually
specify full duplex mode. Refer to the MODIFYING THE DATA RATE section
later in this document.
DUAL CHANNEL SUPPORT
EtherPower^2 and SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100
The EtherPower^2 Dual Channel PCI Ethernet and the SMC9334
EtherPower 10/100 Fast Ethernet network cards conform to the
PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification, Revision 1.0, April 5,
1994. Networking environments that support dual channel operation
include Novell server (32-bit ODI driver), Windows NT, and SCO.
Other networking environments do not support the unique dual channel
capability of the EtherPower^2 or the SMC9334 EtherPower 10/100 network
card. These environments include Novell client (DOS ODI driver),
Windows for Workgroups v3.11, and networking environments that use DOS
or OS/2 NDIS2 drivers.
INSTALLING THE DRIVER
If you already have Windows for Workgroups installed and only want
to install the SMC driver, proceed to "Installing the SMC Driver
Only".
Installing Windows for Workgroups and the SMC Driver
The following procedures describe how to install Windows for
Workgroups v3.1 or v3.11 along with the driver files. These procedures
are designed to expedite the driver installation. For information
on customizing your installation and Windows desktop, refer to
your Windows for Workgroups manual.
Note: If you are installing an ODI or NDIS3 driver, you will
need the NETWARE.DRV file. You can download the current
version of this file from Novell's NetWare Forum on
CompuServe.
Windows for Workgroups v3.1
1. Insert the Windows for Workgroups Disk 1 Setup diskette in your
computer's disk drive.
2. Change to the drive where you inserted the disk in step 1.
Then, at the DOS prompt, type: SETUP.
3. Press the 'Enter' key to start the setup procedure. Typically,
this procedure takes from 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Follow the screen prompts until you receive a prompt that
says Windows has detected the SMC card and asks: "Do you want
to install the driver for this network card now".
5. Select 'No' since this driver is not as current as the one
that SMC provides.
6. When the 'Install New Network Adapter' dialog box appears with
a list of network cards, select 'Unlisted or Updated Network
Adapter'.
7. Select 'Continue'.

8434 - EtherPower^2, 9332 or 9334 - EtherPower 10/100) you are
using followed by 'OK'.
12. Follow the screen prompts to finish your Windows for Workgroups
v3.1 installation.
Windows for Workgroups v3.11
1. Insert the Windows for Workgroups Disk 1 Setup diskette in your
computer's disk drive.
2. Change to the drive where you inserted the disk in step 1.
Then, at the DOS prompt, type: SETUP.
3. Press the 'Enter' key to start the setup procedure. Typically,
this procedure takes from 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Follow the screen prompts until the 'Network Setup' window
appears.
5. Select 'Network'.

driver resides (for example, A:\).
13. Select 'OK'. The 'Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter' window
appears.
14. Select the appropriate SMC network card (8432 - EtherPower,
8434 - EtherPower^2, 9332 or 9334 - EtherPower 10/100) you are
using followed by "OK".
15. Follow the screen prompts to finish your Windows for Workgroups
v3.11 installation.
Adding the SMC Driver to an Existing Windows for Workgroups System
The following procedures describe how to install the SMC driver
and assumes that either Windows for Workgroups v3.1 or v3.11 is already
installed on your system.
If you are using Windows for Workgroups v3.1 and want to add the
SMC driver:
1. Double-click on the 'Control Panel' icon in the 'Main' window.
2. Double-click on the 'Network' icon.
3. Click on the 'Adapter' button and then on the 'Add' button.
4. Select 'Unlisted or Updated Network Card' followed by 'OK'. The
'Install Driver' dialog box appears.
5. Specify the path where the SMC Windows for Workgroups v3.1 driver
is located. If the driver resides on a floppy diskette, insert
the diskette into an available disk drive.
6. Select 'OK'. The 'Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter' dialog
box appears.
7. Select 'OK' when the next two dialog boxes appear.
8. Select 'Close'. The 'Network Settings' dialog box appears.
9. Select 'OK'. You will be prompted to either accept all of the
options you selected and restart your computer or return to DOS.
Restart your computer so your options can take effect.
If you are using Windows for Workgroups v3.11 and want to add the
SMC driver:
1. Double-click on the Network Setup icon in the Network window.
2. When the 'Network Setup' dialog box appears
3. Select 'Drivers'.
4. Select 'Add Adapter'. The 'Add Network Adapter' dialog box appears.
5. Select 'Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter' followed by 'OK'.
6. When the 'Install Driver' window appears, insert your SuperDisk
into your computer's disk drive.
7. In the 'Install Driver' window, type the path where the
driver resides (for example, A:\).
8. Select 'OK'. The 'Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter' window
appears.
9. Select the appropriate SMC network card (8432 - EtherPower,
8434 - EtherPower^2, 9332 or 9334 - EtherPower 10/100) you are
using followed by "OK".
10. Follow the screen prompts to finish your Windows for Workgroups
v3.11 installation.
MODIFYING THE DATA RATE
SMC9332DST EtherPower 10/100 ONLY:
Ensure that the data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) configured for the
network card matches the speed of the hub to which it is attached.
Set the network card to operate at the correct data rate (10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps) using the PROTOCOL.INI parameter DATA_RATE.
To operate at 10 Mbps, remove the comment (;) indicator from the
line:
DATA_RATE=MB10
To make 10 Mbps the active data rate selection. Other parameters,
such as the active serial interface, are also specified using this
file.
If the SIA_MODE is set at AUTOSENSE, the driver will detect and
set the correct data rate during power-up.
SMC9332BDT/SMC9334BDT/SMC9332BVT EtherPower 10/100 ONLY:
This network card supports NWAY (Auto-Negotiation). Setting the
SIA_MODE to AUTOSENSE will allow the driver to automatically
detect the line speed (10 Mbps [MB10] or 100 Mbps [MB100]) and
operate at the highest possible data rate.
The recommended setting for the SIA_MODE is AUTOSENSE. If you
manually set the SIA_MODE to anything other than AUTOSENSE,
(for example, either half-duplex or full-duplex operation), the
settings you select must be supported by the hub you are attaching to.
The methods used to manually specify operating speed will vary
depending on your networking software and the driver being used.
All SMC drivers for the SMC9332BDT/SMC9334BDT/SMC9332BVT EtherPower
10/100 network card support five different data rate settings.
AUTOSENSE - when using this default setting, the driver
will automatically detect the line speed of the attached hub
and set the network card to operate at the highest possible data
rate
10 Mbps
Full duplex - network card operates at 10 Mbps only
10 Mbps
Half duplex - network card operates at 10 Mbps only
100 Mbps
full duplex - network card operates at 100 Mbps only
100 Mbps
half duplex - network card operates at 100 Mbps only
After completing the installation and configuration, you must
reboot your computer.
