PARALLEL 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 Parallel Port
(EPP) technology, data will· be transmitted through the Adapter at three to four times the rate of a standard parallel port. All Pocket Ethernet
Adapter III models are compatible with Enhanced Parallel Port technol ogy, including EPP BIOS, and Xircom drivers will automatically configure for the fastest mode supported by your computer.
A utility program is supplied with the Pocket Ethernet Adapter III to assist with management of EPP mode on some machines. See the
Configuration and Diagnostics
section for detailed instructions on its use.
Some PC designs allow the parallel printer port to be switched be tween bidirectional 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.

ENHANCED PARALLEL PORT UTILITY
EPP BIOS Support
The Xircom drivers listed below support an EPP BIOS standard for
DOS. Since the IEEE P1284.3 standard for EPP BIOS had not reached final approval at the time of this release, Xircom and numerous laptop PC manufacturers have chosen to support one of the earlier draft revisions of the standard. Specifically, this release supports draft revision 3, dated March 1993, of the EPP BIOS specification.
EPP BIOS is a standard for DOS with a PC's CPU operating in real mode. Therefore, EPP BIOS is only supported with the following
DOS drivers;
· Novell ODI Workstation driver, PE30DI.COM
• NDIS driver, PE3NDIS.EXE
· Packet driver, PE3PD.COM
When Do You Need the EPP Utility?
EPP BIOS support removes the need to load a separate utility to make use of a PC's EPP capability. If EPP BIOS is present, the
Xircom network drivers will detect the EPP capability of your computer, including EPP BIOS support on DOS machines (OS/2 does not provide EPP BIOS support), and configure automatically for the fastest mode.
However, on some computers you may need to run the Enhanced
Parallel Port (EPP) utility to verify EPP mode or to enable EPP.
Three versions of the EPP utility are provided on the Network
Drivers diskette, two for DOS and one for OS/2.
If you're not sure whether your computer is EPP-capable, or supports EPP BIOS, try running the EPP utility. A message will indicate what EPP capability has been identified on your machine.
The NOEPP Keyword
The ODI driver configuration file, NET.CFG, contains a keyword specifically for EPP BIOS. This keyword is "NOEPP". When this keyword is present in the NET.CFG file or the PROTOCOL.INI file,
EPP mode will NOT be invoked by way of EPP BIOS.
Pocket Ethernet Adapter III User's Guide
Note
Some machines with EPP hardware do not support EPP functionality because of their parallel port design. In these cases, the network driver will load in standard bidirectional or non-bidirectional mode. Consult your computer's documentation or manufacturer for additional information.
Using the EPP Utility with DOS
To use EPP.COM as part of your DOS AUTO EXEC. BAT (or other
".BAT) file:
1. Copy EPP.COM from the Xircom Network Drivers diskette to your hard disk or boot diskette.
2. Use an ASCII text editor to add the following line to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT or other ".BAT file:
[pathlEPP
where
[path]
is the drive and directory to which you copied
EPP.COM.
3. Save the modified ".BAT file.
4. Run the ".BAT file.
To use EPP.SYS in your DOS CONFIG.SYS file:
1. Copy EPP.SYS from the Xircom Network Drivers diskette to your hard disk or boot diskette.
2. Use an ASCII text editor to add the following line to your
CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=[pathlEPP.SYS
where
[path]
is the drive and directory to which you copied
EPP.SYS.
3. Save the modified CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Reboot the Pc.
Pocket [the met Adopter III User's Guide 23
24
Using the EPP Utility with OS/2
To use EPP.OS2 in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file:
1.
Copy EPP.OS2 from the Xircom Network Drivers diskette to your hard disk.
2. Use an ASCII text editor to add the following line to your
CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=[patb]EPP.OS2
where
[path]
is the drive and directory to which you copied
EPP.OS2.
3. Save the modified CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Reboot the Pc.
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
PE3TEST.
This program, located on the Network
Drivers diskette, tests the Pocket Ethernet Adapter III configuration, setup, checksum, and memory. It also reports test results, the serial number of the unit, and the node address. PE3TEST will also report the fastest parallel port mode available on your computer.
EXECUTING THE SELF TEST
Use the following steps to execute the self test.
1. Install the Pocket Ethernet Adapter III hardware according to the instructions contained in the
Installation and Setup
section of this User's Guide.
2. Boot your computer from DOS without loading a network driver. While a network driver
must not be loaded
for

4. At the diskette drive DOS prompt run the diagnostics by typing
PE3TEST and then pressing Enter.
Note
If an error message displays when you execute the self test, refer to
Appendix
A,
Error Messages.
The diagnostic program displays a set of windows on your computer's screen showing test parameters and results.
An explanation of the self test results follows.
Hardware, EEPROM, Init, and Memory Tests
The Hardware test verifies that the Adapter is powered on and prop erly connected to the parallel port. The EEPROM test reads the
EEPROM and verifies EEPROM data (this is where the Adapter's serial number and node address are stored). The lnit test initializes the
Adapter memory and Ethernet controller. The Memory test tests the
32K x 8 RAM on the Pocket Ethernet Adapter III.
A failure in any of these tests may indicate that service is required for the Pocket Ethernet Adapter III. Contact Xircom Technical Support.
Adapter Data
Tills section displays the model number, serial number, manufacturing date of the unit, and the network node address.
This data. has been preprogrammed at the factory and cannot be altered.
Important
Record the Adapter model and serial numbers in a conve· nient location for quick reference when calling Technical
Support.
Technical Support will ask you to supply the model and serial numbers when requesting technical assistance or warranty service from Xircom.

Configuration
This portion of the diagnostic screen describes interrupt settings, port settings, and parallel port transfer modes. Some computers allow the parallel port to be switched between bidirectional, non-bidirectional, and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) modes. For an optimal transfer rate, the unit should be in EPP or bidirectional mode.
PE3TEST
reports the mode of your parallel port, including Enhanced Parallel Port mode if the EPP utility EPP.COM or EPP.SYS has been run prior to testing or
EPPBIOS is present.
To find out if you can switch modes on your parallel port, consult the documentation for your computer or contact the computer manufac turer.
Transmit Test
During this test the Adapter transmits a packet addressed to itself every
1/2 second. A failure indicates that the Adapter is not accepting transmitted packets. Contact Xircom Technical Support.
Network TraRk Graph
This graph provides a visual representation of the volume of traffic on the network. If there is no traffic (or if the Adapter is not connected to the network), a line of dots will display at the bottom of the chart.

APPENDIX
C.
COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
This appendix contains instructions for using driver parameter settings other than those described in the
Software Setup and Operation
section. The driver types are listed in alphabetical order: DECnet, NOIS,
001, and packet. In most cases the Xircom driver will be able to automatically configure for the correct parallel port, interrupt value, and EPP, bidirectional, or non-bidirectional mode.
NDIS DRIVER PARAMETERS
See the alphabetical listing of network operating systems in the
Software Setup and Installation
section to determine whether your network uses an NOIS driver.
PE3NOIS.EXE and PE3NOIS.OS2 are NOIS drivers that support the
Pocket Ethernet Adapter
III.
The PROTOCOL.INI configuration file used with these drivers must contain the module name and
DRIVERNAME as follows:
[XIRCOMHET]
DRlVERNAME
=
XIRCOM$
When the PE3NOIS command is executed, the Adapter will automati cally 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 file. Keywords are not case sensitiv.e. Each keyword should be on a separate line and should be indented to align with
DRIVERNAME. A sample PROTOCOL.INI file might look like this:
[XIRCOMNET]
DRlVERNAME
=
XIRCOM$
LPT=3
IHT=7
LIHKDISABLE
Pocket Ethernet Adapter III User's Guide
73
Keywords and values for the PROTOCOL.INI are as follows:
Keyword
Default Valid Settings
NON
LPT=
AUTO
AUTO (1 to 3)
INT= AUTO (3 to 15)
IOADDRESS= AUTO (Ox240 to Ox380)
LINKDISABLE
LINK
INTEGRITY
NOEPP
ENABLED
AUTO
RDS
SLOWPORT
AUTO
AUTO
where
NON forces the driver to run in non-bidirectional mode. Without the
"NON" keyword, the driver autoconfigures to bidirectional or non bidirectional mode.
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.
INT-
requires a number designating the parallel port hardware interrupt (for example, INT=5 or INT=7). Default (if parameter not specified) is auto configuration. Use 0 (zero) to force the Adapter into a polled mode.
IOADDRESS-
requires an I/O address in hexadecimal notation (Ox240 to Ox380). Default (if parameter not specified) is autoconfiguration.
IJNKDISABLE disables link integrity for operation with non-1OBASE-T networks such as StarLAN 10. Without the "LINKDISABLE" keyword in the PROTOCOL.INI file, the driver defaults to link integrity ENABLED.

Software Setup and Installation
section listing network operating systems in alphabetical order by vendor.
Pocket Ethernet Adapter III User's Guide
ODI DRIVER PARAMETERS
See the alphabetical listing of network operating systems in the
Software Setup and Installation
section to determine whether your network uses an am driver.
The am driver PE30DI.COM uses its default settings unless other options are specified in the NET.CFG configuration file. This file is supplied on the Xircom Network Drivers diskette and must be present in the same directory as the am driver.
While the Xircom am 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 text editor to open and modify the NET .CFG file and insert the appropriate keywords and values after the line
LINK DRIVER PE30DI
The LINK DRIVER line must be flush left while the keywords must each be on a separate line and indented at least one space or tab. A sample NET CFG file might look like this:
LINK DRIVER PE30DI
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
FRAME ETHERNET_II
NON
INT 7
LIRDISABLE
Note
Do not use an "." sign with om parameters in the NET.CFG file. Use a space between the keyword and value. For example, use INT 7, not INT-7.
Pocket [themet Adopter III User's Guide

Keyword syntax for NET.CFG is as follows (keywords are not case sensitive):

where
FRAME designates support for multiple Ethernet frame types. One or more types can be used. Refer to your NetWare documentation for more information. The Xircom om driver's default frame type is 802.2, but the NET.CFG file supplied with the ODI driver on the Xircom
Drivers diskette sets both 802.2 and 802.3. Therefore if your network's frame type is 802.3, you must use Xircom's NET.CFG with the om driver.
NON forces the driver to
run
in non-bidirectional mode. Without the
"NON" keyword, the driver autoconfigures to bidirectional or non bidirectional mode.
LPI' requires a space followed by a number from 1 to 3 which desig nates the physical parallel port to which the Adapter is connected:
LPTl, LPT2, or LPT3. Default (if parameter not specified) is autocon figuration.
Pocket [themet Adopter III User's Guide
INT
requires a space followed by a number designating the parallel
POlt hardware 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.
PORT requires a space followed by an I/O address in hexadecimal notation (Ox240 to Ox380). Default (if parameter not specified) is autoconfiguration.
llNKDISABLE disables link integrity for operation with non-lOBASE-T networks such as StarLAN 10. Without the "LINKDISABLE" keyword in the NET.CFG file, the driver defaults to link integrity ENABLED.
NOEPP prevents the driver from using EPP BIOS or EPP mode.
RDS forces the driver to use the autofeed pin (pin 14) as a data strobe.
SWWPORT forces slow parallel port accesses.
Instructions for loading the appropriate om files and drivers are provided in the
Software Setup and Installation
section listing network operating systems in alphabetical order by vendor.
Pocket Ethernet Adapter III User's Guide 77
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 Installation
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 com mand line when loading the packet driver.
78
Pocket Ethernet Adopter III User's Guide
The Xircom packet driver PE3PD.COM is self-configuring and therefore finds its own LPT and interrupt values and correctly selects bidirec tional or non-bidirectional mode under most circumstances. Should it be necessary to override the self-configured parameters, use the following options on the command line when running PE3PD.COM
(keywords are not case sensitive). For example,
PE3PD NON IN'l'=7

where
? displays a summary of command line options.
NON forces the driver to run in non-bidirectional mode. Without the

SINT=
is a number from hex
60 to 80 designating a software interrupt.
The default is 60.
Pocket Ethernet Adapter III User's Guide
79
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.
INT-
requires a number designating the parallel port hardware interrupt (for example, INT=5 or INT=7). Default (if parameter not specified) is auto configuration. Use 0 (zero) to force the Adapter into a polled mode.
IOADDRESS= requires an
