3C509B - Diagnostics - Command line options

Question: What are the configure command line options?

Answer: Command Syntax:

3C5X9CFG CONFIGURE [/AUTO | /CONFIGFILE:filename]
[/ADAPTERNUM:N | /SLOT:S]

3C5X9CFG CONFIGURE [ /INT:N /IOBASE:N /PORT:N /BSIZE:N /BADDRESS:N /MODEM:N /XCVR:N /TR:N /OPTIMIZE:N /LINKBEAT:N /CONFIGPORT:N /PNP:N /SYNCREADY:N ]

The CONFIGURE command keyword configures the specified adapter either automatically using the /AUTO parameter or with a custom configuration.

The /AUTO parameter configures the adapter automatically based on the software's best estimate using interpreted system information.

The /CONFIGFILE:filename parameter selects a configuration file to be used to configure the specified adapter. The filename can be a fully qualified DOS filename.

The /ADAPTERNUM:N parameter specifies which adapter will be configured. The value for N is obtained using the LIST command.

The /SLOT:S parameter is available only on EISA or Micro Channel computers. S refers to the physical slot where the adapter to be configured resides.

Command Line Configuration Parameter Settings:
==============================================

The /INT parameter is used to configure the Interrupt Level.

The /IOBASE or /PORT parameter is used to configure the I/O Base Address.

The /BSIZE parameter is used to configure the Boot PROM Size, or Disable/Enable the PROM.

The /BADDRESS parameter is used to configure the Boot PROM Address, if the PROM is Enabled.

The /MODEM parameter is used to configure the Modem Speed (Interrupt DisableTime), only when serial performance tuning needed.

The /TR or /XCVR parameter is used to configure the Transceiver.

The /OPTIMIZE parameter is used to configure the Network Driver Optimization setting, for maximum performance.

The /LINKBEAT parameter is used to Disable/Enable the Linkbeat setting, only when Pre-10BASE-T Standard Hub compatibility is required.

The /CONFIGPORT parameter is used only if you experience a problem running this Program in your machine. Valid settings are 100-1E0, in increments of 10.

The /PNP parameter is used for the 3C509B adpater to Disable/Enable the Plug and Play capability.

Use the /SYNCREADY parameter only if you experience a problem using the adapter in a computer with high-speed I/O bus. Enabling SYNCREADY will assert I/OCHRDY on every I/O access. Performance will be slowed but your adapter might function properly.
