15 without manuals, this file contains a quick introduction to ARCnet hardware,
16 some cabling tips, and a listing of all jumper settings I can find. Please

21 Introduction to ARCnet
22 ======================
23
24 ARCnet is a network type which works in a way similar to popular Ethernet
25 networks but which is also different in some very important ways.
26
27 First of all, you can get ARCnet cards in at least two speeds: 2.5 Mbps
28 (slower than Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (faster than normal Ethernet). In fact,
29 there are others as well, but these are less common. The different hardware
30 types, as far as I'm aware, are not compatible and so you cannot wire a
31 100 Mbps card to a 2.5 Mbps card, and so on. From what I hear, my driver does
32 work with 100 Mbps cards, but I haven't been able to verify this myself,
33 since I only have the 2.5 Mbps variety. It is probably not going to saturate
34 your 100 Mbps card. Stop complaining. :)
35
36 You also cannot connect an ARCnet card to any kind of Ethernet card and
37 expect it to work.
38
39 There are two "types" of ARCnet - STAR topology and BUS topology. This
40 refers to how the cards are meant to be wired together. According to most
41 available documentation, you can only connect STAR cards to STAR cards and
42 BUS cards to BUS cards. That makes sense, right? Well, it's not quite
43 true; see below under "Cabling."
44
45 Once you get past these little stumbling blocks, ARCnet is actually quite a
46 well-designed standard. It uses something called "modified token passing"
47 which makes it completely incompatible with so-called "Token Ring" cards,
48 but which makes transfers much more reliable than Ethernet does. In fact,
49 ARCnet will guarantee that a packet arrives safely at the destination, and
50 even if it can't possibly be delivered properly (ie. because of a cable
51 break, or because the destination computer does not exist) it will at least
52 tell the sender about it.
53
54 Because of the carefully defined action of the "token", it will always make
55 a pass around the "ring" within a maximum length of time. This makes it
56 useful for realtime networks.
57
58 In addition, all known ARCnet cards have an (almost) identical programming
59 interface. This means that with one ARCnet driver you can support any
60 card, whereas with Ethernet each manufacturer uses what is sometimes a
61 completely different programming interface, leading to a lot of different,
62 sometimes very similar, Ethernet drivers. Of course, always using the same
63 programming interface also means that when high-performance hardware
64 facilities like PCI bus mastering DMA appear, it's hard to take advantage of
65 them. Let's not go into that.
66
67 One thing that makes ARCnet cards difficult to program for, however, is the
68 limit on their packet sizes; standard ARCnet can only send packets that are
69 up to 508 bytes in length. This is smaller than the Internet "bare minimum"
70 of 576 bytes, let alone the Ethernet MTU of 1500. To compensate, an extra
71 level of encapsulation is defined by RFC1201, which I call "packet
72 splitting," that allows "virtual packets" to grow as large as 64K each,
73 although they are generally kept down to the Ethernet-style 1500 bytes.
74

76 advantages) of ARCnet networks, you might try the "ARCnet Trade Association"

82 Cabling ARCnet Networks
83 =======================
84
85 This section was rewritten by
86
87 Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>
88
89 using information from several people, including:
90
91 - Avery Pennraun <apenwarr@worldvisions.ca>
92 - Stephen A. Wood <saw@hallc1.cebaf.gov>
93 - John Paul Morrison <jmorriso@bogomips.ee.ubc.ca>
94 - Joachim Koenig <jojo@repas.de>
95
96 and Avery touched it up a bit, at Vojtech's request.
97
98 ARCnet (the classic 2.5 Mbps version) can be connected by two different
99 types of cabling: coax and twisted pair. The other ARCnet-type networks
100 (100 Mbps TCNS and 320 kbps - 32 Mbps ARCnet Plus) use different types of
101 cabling (Type1, Fiber, C1, C4, C5).
102
103 For a coax network, you "should" use 93 Ohm RG-62 cable. But other cables
104 also work fine, because ARCnet is a very stable network. I personally use 75
105 Ohm TV antenna cable.
106
107 Cards for coax cabling are shipped in two different variants: for BUS and
108 STAR network topologies. They are mostly the same. The only difference
109 lies in the hybrid chip installed. BUS cards use high impedance output,
110 while STAR use low impedance. Low impedance card (STAR) is electrically
111 equal to a high impedance one with a terminator installed.
112
113 Usually, the ARCnet networks are built up from STAR cards and hubs. There
114 are two types of hubs - active and passive. Passive hubs are small boxes
115 with four BNC connectors containing four 47 Ohm resistors::
116
117 | | wires
118 R + junction
119 -R-+-R- R 47 Ohm resistors
120 R
121 |
122
123 The shielding is connected together. Active hubs are much more complicated;
124 they are powered and contain electronics to amplify the signal and send it
125 to other segments of the net. They usually have eight connectors. Active
126 hubs come in two variants - dumb and smart. The dumb variant just
127 amplifies, but the smart one decodes to digital and encodes back all packets
128 coming through. This is much better if you have several hubs in the net,
129 since many dumb active hubs may worsen the signal quality.
130
131 And now to the cabling. What you can connect together:
132
133 1. A card to a card. This is the simplest way of creating a 2-computer
134 network.
135
136 2. A card to a passive hub. Remember that all unused connectors on the hub
137 must be properly terminated with 93 Ohm (or something else if you don't
138 have the right ones) terminators.
139
140 (Avery's note: oops, I didn't know that. Mine (TV cable) works
141 anyway, though.)
142
143 3. A card to an active hub. Here is no need to terminate the unused
144 connectors except some kind of aesthetic feeling. But, there may not be
145 more than eleven active hubs between any two computers. That of course
146 doesn't limit the number of active hubs on the network.
147
148 4. An active hub to another.
149
150 5. An active hub to passive hub.
151
152 Remember that you cannot connect two passive hubs together. The power loss
153 implied by such a connection is too high for the net to operate reliably.
154
155 An example of a typical ARCnet network::
156
157 R S - STAR type card
158 S------H--------A-------S R - Terminator
159 | | H - Hub
160 | | A - Active hub
161 | S----H----S
162 S |
163 |
164 S
165
166 The BUS topology is very similar to the one used by Ethernet. The only
167 difference is in cable and terminators: they should be 93 Ohm. Ethernet
168 uses 50 Ohm impedance. You use T connectors to put the computers on a single
169 line of cable, the bus. You have to put terminators at both ends of the
170 cable. A typical BUS ARCnet network looks like::
171
172 RT----T------T------T------T------TR
173 B B B B B B
174
175 B - BUS type card
176 R - Terminator
177 T - T connector
178
179 But that is not all! The two types can be connected together. According to
180 the official documentation the only way of connecting them is using an active
181 hub::
182
183 A------T------T------TR
184 | B B B
185 S---H---S
186 |
187 S
188
189 The official docs also state that you can use STAR cards at the ends of
190 BUS network in place of a BUS card and a terminator::
191
192 S------T------T------S
193 B B
194
195 But, according to my own experiments, you can simply hang a BUS type card
196 anywhere in middle of a cable in a STAR topology network. And more - you
197 can use the bus card in place of any star card if you use a terminator. Then
198 you can build very complicated networks fulfilling all your needs! An
199 example::
200
201 S
202 |
203 RT------T-------T------H------S
204 B B B |
205 | R
206 S------A------T-------T-------A-------H------TR
207 | B B | | B
208 | S BT |
209 | | | S----A-----S
210 S------H---A----S | |
211 | | S------T----H---S |
212 S S B R S
213
214 A basically different cabling scheme is used with Twisted Pair cabling. Each
215 of the TP cards has two RJ (phone-cord style) connectors. The cards are
216 then daisy-chained together using a cable connecting every two neighboring
217 cards. The ends are terminated with RJ 93 Ohm terminators which plug into
218 the empty connectors of cards on the ends of the chain. An example::
219
220 ___________ ___________
221 _R_|_ _|_|_ _|_R_
222 | | | | | |
223 |Card | |Card | |Card |
224 |_____| |_____| |_____|
225
226
227 There are also hubs for the TP topology. There is nothing difficult
228 involved in using them; you just connect a TP chain to a hub on any end or
229 even at both. This way you can create almost any network configuration.
230 The maximum of 11 hubs between any two computers on the net applies here as
231 well. An example::
232
233 RP-------P--------P--------H-----P------P-----PR
234 |
235 RP-----H--------P--------H-----P------PR
236 | |
237 PR PR
238
239 R - RJ Terminator
240 P - TP Card
241 H - TP Hub
242
243 Like any network, ARCnet has a limited cable length. These are the maximum
244 cable lengths between two active ends (an active end being an active hub or
245 a STAR card).
246
247 ========== ======= ===========
248 RG-62 93 Ohm up to 650 m
249 RG-59/U 75 Ohm up to 457 m
250 RG-11/U 75 Ohm up to 533 m
251 IBM Type 1 150 Ohm up to 200 m
252 IBM Type 3 100 Ohm up to 100 m
253 ========== ======= ===========
254
255 The maximum length of all cables connected to a passive hub is limited to 65
256 meters for RG-62 cabling; less for others. You can see that using passive
257 hubs in a large network is a bad idea. The maximum length of a single "BUS
258 Trunk" is about 300 meters for RG-62. The maximum distance between the two
259 most distant points of the net is limited to 3000 meters. The maximum length
260 of a TP cable between two cards/hubs is 650 meters.
261
262
263 Setting the Jumpers
264 ===================
265
266 All ARCnet cards should have a total of four or five different settings:
267
268 - the I/O address: this is the "port" your ARCnet card is on. Probed
269 values in the Linux ARCnet driver are only from 0x200 through 0x3F0. (If
270 your card has additional ones, which is possible, please tell me.) This
271 should not be the same as any other device on your system. According to
272 a doc I got from Novell, MS Windows prefers values of 0x300 or more,
273 eating net connections on my system (at least) otherwise. My guess is
274 this may be because, if your card is at 0x2E0, probing for a serial port
275 at 0x2E8 will reset the card and probably mess things up royally.
276
277 - Avery's favourite: 0x300.
278
279 - the IRQ: on 8-bit cards, it might be 2 (9), 3, 4, 5, or 7.
280 on 16-bit cards, it might be 2 (9), 3, 4, 5, 7, or 10-15.
281
282 Make sure this is different from any other card on your system. Note
283 that IRQ2 is the same as IRQ9, as far as Linux is concerned. You can
284 "cat /proc/interrupts" for a somewhat complete list of which ones are in
285 use at any given time. Here is a list of common usages from Vojtech
286 Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>:
287
288 ("Not on bus" means there is no way for a card to generate this
289 interrupt)
290
291 ====== =========================================================
292 IRQ 0 Timer 0 (Not on bus)
293 IRQ 1 Keyboard (Not on bus)
294 IRQ 2 IRQ Controller 2 (Not on bus, nor does interrupt the CPU)
295 IRQ 3 COM2
296 IRQ 4 COM1
297 IRQ 5 FREE (LPT2 if you have it; sometimes COM3; maybe PLIP)
298 IRQ 6 Floppy disk controller
299 IRQ 7 FREE (LPT1 if you don't use the polling driver; PLIP)
300 IRQ 8 Realtime Clock Interrupt (Not on bus)
301 IRQ 9 FREE (VGA vertical sync interrupt if enabled)
302 IRQ 10 FREE
303 IRQ 11 FREE
304 IRQ 12 FREE
305 IRQ 13 Numeric Coprocessor (Not on bus)
306 IRQ 14 Fixed Disk Controller
307 IRQ 15 FREE (Fixed Disk Controller 2 if you have it)
308 ====== =========================================================
309
310
311 .. note::
312
313 IRQ 9 is used on some video cards for the "vertical retrace"
314 interrupt. This interrupt would have been handy for things like
315 video games, as it occurs exactly once per screen refresh, but
316 unfortunately IBM cancelled this feature starting with the original
317 VGA and thus many VGA/SVGA cards do not support it. For this
318 reason, no modern software uses this interrupt and it can almost
319 always be safely disabled, if your video card supports it at all.
320
321 If your card for some reason CANNOT disable this IRQ (usually there
322 is a jumper), one solution would be to clip the printed circuit
323 contact on the board: it's the fourth contact from the left on the
324 back side. I take no responsibility if you try this.
325
326 - Avery's favourite: IRQ2 (actually IRQ9). Watch that VGA, though.
327
328 - the memory address: Unlike most cards, ARCnets use "shared memory" for
329 copying buffers around. Make SURE it doesn't conflict with any other
330 used memory in your system!
331
332 ::
333
334 A0000 - VGA graphics memory (ok if you don't have VGA)
335 B0000 - Monochrome text mode
336 C0000 \ One of these is your VGA BIOS - usually C0000.
337 E0000 /
338 F0000 - System BIOS
339
340 Anything less than 0xA0000 is, well, a BAD idea since it isn't above
341 640k.
342
343 - Avery's favourite: 0xD0000
344
345 - the station address: Every ARCnet card has its own "unique" network
346 address from 0 to 255. Unlike Ethernet, you can set this address
347 yourself with a jumper or switch (or on some cards, with special
348 software). Since it's only 8 bits, you can only have 254 ARCnet cards
349 on a network. DON'T use 0 or 255, since these are reserved (although
350 neat stuff will probably happen if you DO use them). By the way, if you
351 haven't already guessed, don't set this the same as any other ARCnet on
352 your network!
353
354 - Avery's favourite: 3 and 4. Not that it matters.
355
356 - There may be ETS1 and ETS2 settings. These may or may not make a
357 difference on your card (many manuals call them "reserved"), but are
358 used to change the delays used when powering up a computer on the
359 network. This is only necessary when wiring VERY long range ARCnet
360 networks, on the order of 4km or so; in any case, the only real
361 requirement here is that all cards on the network with ETS1 and ETS2
362 jumpers have them in the same position. Chris Hindy <chrish@io.org>
363 sent in a chart with actual values for this:
364
365 ======= ======= =============== ====================
366 ET1 ET2 Response Time Reconfiguration Time
367 ======= ======= =============== ====================
368 open open 74.7us 840us
369 open closed 283.4us 1680us
370 closed open 561.8us 1680us
371 closed closed 1118.6us 1680us
372 ======= ======= =============== ====================
373
374 Make sure you set ETS1 and ETS2 to the SAME VALUE for all cards on your
375 network.
376
377 Also, on many cards (not mine, though) there are red and green LED's.
378 Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz> tells me this is what they mean:
379
380 =============== =============== =====================================
381 GREEN RED Status
382 =============== =============== =====================================
383 OFF OFF Power off
384 OFF Short flashes Cabling problems (broken cable or not
385 terminated)
386 OFF (short) ON Card init
387 ON ON Normal state - everything OK, nothing
388 happens
389 ON Long flashes Data transfer
390 ON OFF Never happens (maybe when wrong ID)
391 =============== =============== =====================================
392
393
394 The following is all the specific information people have sent me about
395 their own particular ARCnet cards. It is officially a mess, and contains
396 huge amounts of duplicated information. I have no time to fix it. If you
397 want to, PLEASE DO! Just send me a 'diff -u' of all your changes.
398
399 The model # is listed right above specifics for that card, so you should be
400 able to use your text viewer's "search" function to find the entry you want.
401 If you don't KNOW what kind of card you have, try looking through the
402 various diagrams to see if you can tell.
403
404 If your model isn't listed and/or has different settings, PLEASE PLEASE
405 tell me. I had to figure mine out without the manual, and it WASN'T FUN!
406
407 Even if your ARCnet model isn't listed, but has the same jumpers as another
408 model that is, please e-mail me to say so.

480 - PC110 settings were verified by Stephen A. Wood <saw@cebaf.gov>
481 - Also, the JP- and S-numbers probably don't match your card exactly. Try
482 to find jumpers/switches with the same number of settings - it's
483 probably more reliable.

577
578 The PC130E is an enhanced version of the PC130 board, is equipped with a
579 standard BNC female connector for connection to RG-62/U coax cable.
580 Since this board is designed both for point-to-point connection in star
581 networks and for connection to bus networks, it is downwardly compatible
582 with all the other standard boards designed for coax networks (that is,
583 the PC120, PC110 and PC100 star topology boards and the PC220, PC210 and
584 PC200 bus topology boards).
585
586 The PC270E is an enhanced version of the PC260 board, is equipped with two
587 modular RJ11-type jacks for connection to twisted pair wiring.
588 It can be used in a star or a daisy-chained network.

635
636
637 Setting the Node ID
638 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
639
640 The eight switches in group S2 are used to set the node ID.
641 These switches work in a way similar to the PC100-series cards; see that
642 entry for more information.
643
644
645 Setting the I/O Base Address
646 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
647
648 The first three switches in switch group S1 are used to select one
649 of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
650
651
652 Switch | Hex I/O
653 1 2 3 | Address
654 -------|--------
655 0 0 0 | 260

662 1 1 1 | 3E0
663
664
665 Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
666 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
667
668 The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
669 16K block can be located in any of eight positions.
670 Switches 4-6 of switch group S1 select the Base of the 16K block.
671 Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
672 positions, determined by the offset, switches 7 and 8 of group S1.

719 *) To enable the 8K Boot PROM install the jumper ROM.
720 The default is jumper ROM not installed.
721
722
723 Setting the Timeouts and Interrupt
724 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
725
726 The jumpers labeled EXT1 and EXT2 are used to determine the timeout
727 parameters. These two jumpers are normally left open.
728
729 To select a hardware interrupt level set one (only one!) of the jumpers
730 IRQ2, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7. The Manufacturer's default is IRQ2.
731
732
733 Configuring the PC130E for Star or Bus Topology
734 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
735
736 The single jumper labeled STAR is used to configure the PC130E board for
737 star or bus topology.
738 When the jumper is installed, the board may be used in a star network, when
739 it is removed, the board can be used in a bus topology.
740
741
742 Diagnostic LEDs
743 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
744
745 Two diagnostic LEDs are visible on the rear bracket of the board.
746 The green LED monitors the network activity: the red one shows the
747 board activity::
748
749 Green | Status Red | Status
750 -------|------------------- ---------|-------------------
751 on | normal activity flash/on | data transfer
752 blink | reconfiguration off | no data transfer;
753 off | defective board or | incorrect memory or
754 | node ID is zero | I/O address
755

757 PC500/PC550 Longboard (16-bit cards)
758 ------------------------------------
759
760 - from Juergen Seifert <seifert@htwm.de>
761
762
763 .. note::
764
765 There is another Version of the PC500 called Short Version, which
766 is different in hard- and software! The most important differences
767 are:
768
769 - The long board has no Shared memory.
770 - On the long board the selection of the interrupt is done by binary
771 coded switch, on the short board directly by jumper.
772
773 [Avery's note: pay special attention to that: the long board HAS NO SHARED
774 MEMORY. This means the current Linux-ARCnet driver can't use these cards.
775 I have obtained a PC500Longboard and will be doing some experiments on it in
776 the future, but don't hold your breath. Thanks again to Juergen Seifert for
777 his advice about this!]

843
844
845 Setting the Node ID
846 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
847
848 The eight switches in group SW3 are used to set the node ID. Each node
849 attached to the network must have an unique node ID which must be
850 different from 0.
851 Switch 1 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
852
853 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
854 These values are::
855
856 Switch | Value
857 -------|-------
858 1 | 1
859 2 | 2
860 3 | 4
861 4 | 8
862 5 | 16
863 6 | 32

884
885
886 Setting the I/O Base Address
887 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
888
889 The first six switches in switch group SW1 are used to select one
890 of 32 possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
891
892 Switch | Hex I/O
893 6 5 4 3 2 1 | Address
894 -------------|--------

927
928
929 Setting the Interrupt
930 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
931
932 Switches seven through ten of switch group SW1 are used to select the
933 interrupt level. The interrupt level is binary coded, so selections
934 from 0 to 15 would be possible, but only the following eight values will
935 be supported: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12.
936
937 ::
938
939 Switch | IRQ
940 10 9 8 7 |
941 ---------|--------
942 0 0 1 1 | 3
943 0 1 0 0 | 4
944 0 1 0 1 | 5

948 1 0 1 1 | 11
949 1 1 0 0 | 12
950
951
952 Setting the Timeouts
953 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
954
955 The two jumpers JP2 (1-4) are used to determine the timeout parameters.
956 These two jumpers are normally left open.
957 Refer to the COM9026 Data Sheet for alternate configurations.
958
959
960 Configuring the PC500 for Star or Bus Topology
961 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
962
963 The single jumper labeled JP6 is used to configure the PC500 board for
964 star or bus topology.
965 When the jumper is installed, the board may be used in a star network, when
966 it is removed, the board can be used in a bus topology.
967
968
969 Diagnostic LEDs
970 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
971
972 Two diagnostic LEDs are visible on the rear bracket of the board.
973 The green LED monitors the network activity: the red one shows the
974 board activity::
975
976 Green | Status Red | Status
977 -------|------------------- ---------|-------------------
978 on | normal activity flash/on | data transfer
979 blink | reconfiguration off | no data transfer;
980 off | defective board or | incorrect memory or
981 | node ID is zero | I/O address
982
983
984 PC710 (8-bit card)
985 ------------------
986
987 - from J.S. van Oosten <jvoosten@compiler.tdcnet.nl>
988
989 Note: this data is gathered by experimenting and looking at info of other
990 cards. However, I'm sure I got 99% of the settings right.
991
992 The SMC710 card resembles the PC270 card, but is much more basic (i.e. no
993 LEDs, RJ11 jacks, etc.) and 8 bit. Here's a little drawing::
994

1012 |||||||||||||||||||||
1013
1014 The row of jumpers at JP1 actually consists of 8 jumpers, (sometimes
1015 labelled) the same as on the PC270, from top to bottom: EXT2, EXT1, ROM,
1016 IRQ7, IRQ5, IRQ4, IRQ3, IRQ2 (gee, wonder what they would do? :-) )
1017
1018 S1 and S2 perform the same function as on the PC270, only their numbers
1019 are swapped (S1 is the nodeaddress, S2 sets IO- and RAM-address).
1020
1021 I know it works when connected to a PC110 type ARCnet board.

1029 LCS-8830(-T) (8 and 16-bit cards)
1030 ---------------------------------
1031
1032 - from Mathias Katzer <mkatzer@HRZ.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
1033 - Marek Michalkiewicz <marekm@i17linuxb.ists.pwr.wroc.pl> says the
1034 LCS-8830 is slightly different from LCS-8830-T. These are 8 bit, BUS
1035 only (the JP0 jumper is hardwired), and BNC only.
1036
1037 This is a LCS-8830-T made by SMC, I think ('SMC' only appears on one PLCC,
1038 nowhere else, not even on the few Xeroxed sheets from the manual).

1148 PDI507 (8-bit card)
1149 --------------------
1150
1151 - from Mark Rejhon <mdrejhon@magi.com> (slight modifications by Avery)
1152 - Avery's note: I think PDI508 cards (but definitely NOT PDI508Plus cards)
1153 are mostly the same as this. PDI508Plus cards appear to be mainly
1154 software-configured.
1155
1156 Jumpers:
1157
1158 There is a jumper array at the bottom of the card, near the edge
1159 connector. This array is labelled J1. They control the IRQs and
1160 something else. Put only one jumper on the IRQ pins.
1161
1162 ETS1, ETS2 are for timing on very long distance networks. See the
1163 more general information near the top of this file.
1164
1165 There is a J2 jumper on two pins. A jumper should be put on them,
1166 since it was already there when I got the card. I don't know what
1167 this jumper is for though.
1168
1169 There is a two-jumper array for J3. I don't know what it is for,
1170 but there were already two jumpers on it when I got the card. It's
1171 a six pin grid in a two-by-three fashion. The jumpers were
1172 configured as follows::

1179
1180 Carl de Billy <CARL@carainfo.com> explains J3 and J4:

1194
1195 - If using coax cable in a bus topology the J4 jumper must be removed;
1196 place it on one pin.
1197
1198 - If using bus topology with twisted pair wiring move the J3
1199 jumpers so they connect the middle pin and the pins closest to the RJ11
1200 Connectors. Also the J4 jumper must be removed; place it on one pin of
1201 J4 jumper for storage.
1202
1203 - If using star topology with twisted pair wiring move the J3
1204 jumpers so they connect the middle pin and the pins closest to the RJ11
1205 connectors.
1206
1207
1208 DIP Switches:
1209
1210 The DIP switches accessible on the accessible end of the card while
1211 it is installed, is used to set the ARCnet address. There are 8
1212 switches. Use an address from 1 to 254
1213
1214 ========== =========================
1215 Switch No. ARCnet address
1216 12345678
1217 ========== =========================
1218 00000000 FF (Don't use this!)
1219 00000001 FE
1220 00000010 FD
1221 ...
1222 11111101 2
1223 11111110 1
1224 11111111 0 (Don't use this!)
1225 ========== =========================
1226
1227 There is another array of eight DIP switches at the top of the
1228 card. There are five labelled MS0-MS4 which seem to control the
1229 memory address, and another three labelled IO0-IO2 which seem to
1230 control the base I/O address of the card.
1231
1232 This was difficult to test by trial and error, and the I/O addresses
1233 are in a weird order. This was tested by setting the DIP switches,
1234 rebooting the computer, and attempting to load ARCETHER at various
1235 addresses (mostly between 0x200 and 0x400). The address that caused
1236 the red transmit LED to blink, is the one that I thought works.
1237
1238 Also, the address 0x3D0 seem to have a special meaning, since the
1239 ARCETHER packet driver loaded fine, but without the red LED
1240 blinking. I don't know what 0x3D0 is for though. I recommend using
1241 an address of 0x300 since Windows may not like addresses below
1242 0x300.
1243
1244 ============= ===========
1245 IO Switch No. I/O address
1246 210
1247 ============= ===========
1248 111 0x260
1249 110 0x290
1250 101 0x2E0
1251 100 0x2F0
1252 011 0x300
1253 010 0x350
1254 001 0x380
1255 000 0x3E0
1256 ============= ===========
1257
1258 The memory switches set a reserved address space of 0x1000 bytes
1259 (0x100 segment units, or 4k). For example if I set an address of
1260 0xD000, it will use up addresses 0xD000 to 0xD100.
1261
1262 The memory switches were tested by booting using QEMM386 stealth,
1263 and using LOADHI to see what address automatically became excluded
1264 from the upper memory regions, and then attempting to load ARCETHER
1265 using these addresses.
1266
1267 I recommend using an ARCnet memory address of 0xD000, and putting
1268 the EMS page frame at 0xC000 while using QEMM stealth mode. That
1269 way, you get contiguous high memory from 0xD100 almost all the way
1270 the end of the megabyte.
1271
1272 Memory Switch 0 (MS0) didn't seem to work properly when set to OFF
1273 on my card. It could be malfunctioning on my card. Experiment with
1274 it ON first, and if it doesn't work, set it to OFF. (It may be a
1275 modifier for the 0x200 bit?)
1276

1372
1373
1374 Setting the Node ID
1375 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1376
1377 The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
1378 to the network must have an unique node ID which must be different from 0.
1379 Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
1380
1381 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
1382 These values are:
1383
1384 ======= ====== =====
1385 Switch Label Value
1386 ======= ====== =====
1387 1 ID0 1
1388 2 ID1 2

1414
1415
1416 Setting the I/O Base Address
1417 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1418
1419 The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
1420 of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
1421
1422
1423 Switch | Hex I/O
1424 6 7 8 | Address
1425 ------------|--------
1426 ON ON ON | 260
1427 OFF ON ON | 290
1428 ON OFF ON | 2E0 (Manufacturer's default)
1429 OFF OFF ON | 2F0
1430 ON ON OFF | 300
1431 OFF ON OFF | 350
1432 ON OFF OFF | 380
1433 OFF OFF OFF | 3E0
1434
1435
1436 Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
1437 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1438
1439 The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
1440 located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
1441 memory base + 8K or memory base + 0x2000.
1442 Switches 1-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.
1443
1444 ::
1445
1446 Switch | Hex RAM | Hex ROM
1447 1 2 3 4 5 | Address | Address *)
1448 --------------------|---------|-----------
1449 ON ON ON ON ON | C0000 | C2000
1450 ON ON OFF ON ON | C4000 | C6000
1451 ON ON ON OFF ON | CC000 | CE000
1452 ON ON OFF OFF ON | D0000 | D2000 (Manufacturer's default)
1453 ON ON ON ON OFF | D4000 | D6000
1454 ON ON OFF ON OFF | D8000 | DA000
1455 ON ON ON OFF OFF | DC000 | DE000
1456 ON ON OFF OFF OFF | E0000 | E2000
1457
1458 *) To enable the Boot ROM install the jumper JP1
1459
1460 .. note::
1461
1462 Since the switches 1 and 2 are always set to ON it may be possible
1463 that they can be used to add an offset of 2K, 4K or 6K to the base
1464 address, but this feature is not documented in the manual and I
1465 haven't tested it yet.
1466
1467
1468 Setting the Interrupt Line
1469 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1470
1471 To select a hardware interrupt level install one (only one!) of the jumpers
1472 JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, JP6. JP2 is the default::
1473
1474 Jumper | IRQ
1475 -------|-----
1476 2 | 2
1477 3 | 3
1478 4 | 4
1479 5 | 5
1480 6 | 7
1481
1482
1483 Setting the Internal Terminator on CN120AB/TP/SBT
1484 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1485
1486 The jumper JP12 is used to enable the internal terminator::
1487
1488 -----
1489 0 | 0 |
1490 ----- ON | | ON
1491 | 0 | | 0 |
1492 | | OFF ----- OFF
1493 | 0 | 0
1494 -----
1495 Terminator Terminator
1496 disabled enabled
1497
1498
1499 Selecting the Connector Type on CN120ST/SBT
1500 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1501
1502 ::
1503
1504 JP10 JP11 JP10 JP11
1505 ----- -----
1506 0 0 | 0 | | 0 |

1512 Coaxial Cable Twisted Pair Cable
1513 (Default)
1514
1515
1516 Setting the Timeout Parameters
1517 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1518
1519 The jumpers labeled EXT1 and EXT2 are used to determine the timeout
1520 parameters. These two jumpers are normally left open.

1583
1584
1585 Setting the Node ID
1586 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1587
1588 The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
1589 to the network must have an unique node ID which must be different from 0.
1590 Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
1591
1592 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
1593 These values are::
1594
1595 Switch | Label | Value
1596 -------|-------|-------
1597 1 | ID0 | 1
1598 2 | ID1 | 2
1599 3 | ID2 | 4
1600 4 | ID3 | 8
1601 5 | ID4 | 16
1602 6 | ID5 | 32
1603 7 | ID6 | 64
1604 8 | ID7 | 128
1605
1606 Some Examples::
1607
1608 Switch | Hex | Decimal
1609 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 | Node ID | Node ID

1623
1624
1625 Setting the I/O Base Address
1626 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1627
1628 The first six switches in switch block SW1 are used to select the I/O Base
1629 address using the following table::
1630
1631 Switch | Hex I/O
1632 1 2 3 4 5 6 | Address
1633 ------------------------|--------
1634 OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON | 260
1635 OFF ON OFF ON ON OFF | 290
1636 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF ON | 2E0 (Manufacturer's default)
1637 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF OFF | 2F0
1638 OFF OFF ON ON ON ON | 300
1639 OFF OFF ON OFF ON OFF | 350
1640 OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON | 380
1641 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON | 3E0
1642
1643 Note: Other IO-Base addresses seem to be selectable, but only the above
1644 combinations are documented.
1645
1646
1647 Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
1648 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1649
1650 The switches 7-10 of switch block SW1 are used to select the Memory
1651 Base address of the RAM (2K) and the PROM::
1652
1653 Switch | Hex RAM | Hex ROM
1654 7 8 9 10 | Address | Address
1655 ----------------|---------|-----------
1656 OFF OFF ON ON | C0000 | C8000
1657 OFF OFF ON OFF | D0000 | D8000 (Default)
1658 OFF OFF OFF ON | E0000 | E8000
1659
1660 .. note::
1661
1662 Other MEM-Base addresses seem to be selectable, but only the above
1663 combinations are documented.
1664
1665
1666 Setting the Interrupt Line
1667 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1668
1669 To select a hardware interrupt level install one (only one!) of the jumpers
1670 JP3 through JP13 using the following table::
1671
1672 Jumper | IRQ
1673 -------|-----------------
1674 3 | 14
1675 4 | 15
1676 5 | 12
1677 6 | 11
1678 7 | 10
1679 8 | 3
1680 9 | 4
1681 10 | 5
1682 11 | 6
1683 12 | 7
1684 13 | 2 (=9) Default!
1685
1686 .. note::
1687
1688 - Do not use JP11=IRQ6, it may conflict with your Floppy Disk
1689 Controller
1690 - Use JP3=IRQ14 only, if you don't have an IDE-, MFM-, or RLL-
1691 Hard Disk, it may conflict with their controllers
1692
1693
1694 Setting the Timeout Parameters
1695 ------------------------------
1696
1697 The jumpers labeled JP1 and JP2 are used to determine the timeout
1698 parameters. These two jumpers are normally left open.

1755 It seems that the bits are considered in reverse order. Also, you must
1756 observe that some of those addresses are unusual and I didn't probe them; I
1757 used a memory dump in DOS to identify them. For the 00000 configuration and
1758 some others that I didn't write here the card seems to conflict with the
1759 video card (an S3 GENDAC). I leave the full decoding of those addresses to
1760 you.

1862 Setting the Node ID
1863 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1864
1865 The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
1866 to the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0.
1867 Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
1868
1869 Setting one of the switches to OFF means "1", ON means "0".
1870
1871 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
1872 These values are::
1873
1874 Switch | Value
1875 -------|-------
1876 1 | 1
1877 2 | 2
1878 3 | 4
1879 4 | 8
1880 5 | 16
1881 6 | 32
1882 7 | 64
1883 8 | 128
1884
1885 Don't set this to 0 or 255; these values are reserved.
1886
1887
1888 Setting the I/O Base Address
1889 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1890
1891 The switches 1 to 6 of switch block SW1 are used to select one
1892 of 32 possible I/O Base addresses using the following tables::
1893
1894 | Hex
1895 Switch | Value
1896 -------|-------
1897 1 | 200
1898 2 | 100
1899 3 | 80
1900 4 | 40
1901 5 | 20
1902 6 | 10
1903
1904 The I/O address is sum of all switches set to "1". Remember that
1905 the I/O address space below 0x200 is RESERVED for mainboard, so
1906 switch 1 should be ALWAYS SET TO OFF.
1907
1908
1909 Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
1910 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1911
1912 The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
1913 located in any of sixteen positions. However, the addresses below
1914 A0000 are likely to cause system hang because there's main RAM.
1915
1916 Jumpers 7-10 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address::
1917
1918 Switch | Hex RAM
1919 7 8 9 10 | Address
1920 ----------------|---------
1921 OFF OFF OFF OFF | F0000 (conflicts with main BIOS)
1922 OFF OFF OFF ON | E0000
1923 OFF OFF ON OFF | D0000
1924 OFF OFF ON ON | C0000 (conflicts with video BIOS)
1925 OFF ON OFF OFF | B0000 (conflicts with mono video)
1926 OFF ON OFF ON | A0000 (conflicts with graphics)
1927
1928
1929 Setting the Interrupt Line
1930 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1931
1932 Jumpers 1-5 of the jumper block J1 control the IRQ level. ON means
1933 shorted, OFF means open::
1934
1935 Jumper | IRQ
1936 1 2 3 4 5 |
1937 ----------------------------
1938 ON OFF OFF OFF OFF | 7
1939 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF | 5
1940 OFF OFF ON OFF OFF | 4
1941 OFF OFF OFF ON OFF | 3
1942 OFF OFF OFF OFF ON | 2
1943
1944
1945 Unknown jumpers & sockets
1946 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1947
1948 I know nothing about these. I just guess that J16&J17 are timeout
1949 jumpers and maybe one of J18-J21 selects ROM. Also J6-J10 and
1950 J11-J15 are connecting IRQ2-7 to some pins on the UFSs. I can't
1951 guess the purpose.

1961 This is another SMC 90C65-based ARCnet card. I couldn't identify the
1962 manufacturer, but it might be DataPoint, because the card has the

2050 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2051
2052 The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
2053 located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
2054 memory base + 0x2000.
2055
2056 Jumpers 3-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.

2152 Setting the Node ID
2153 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2154
2155 The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached to
2156 the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0. Switch 1 (ID0)
2157 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
2158
2159 Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
2160
2161 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
2162 These values are::
2163
2164 Switch | Label | Value
2165 -------|-------|-------
2166 1 | ID0 | 1
2167 2 | ID1 | 2
2168 3 | ID2 | 4

2173 8 | ID7 | 128
2174
2175 Setting the I/O Base Address
2176 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2177
2178 The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
2179 of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
2180
2181
2182 Switch | Hex I/O
2183 6 7 8 | Address
2184 ------------|--------
2185 ON ON ON | 260 (Manufacturer's default)

2191 ON OFF OFF | 380
2192 OFF OFF OFF | 3E0
2193
2194
2195 Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2196 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2197
2198 The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
2199 located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
2200 memory base + 0x2000.
2201
2202 Jumpers 3-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.

2216 ON ON OFF OFF OFF | E0000 | E2000
2217
2218 *) To enable the Boot ROM short the jumper J2.
2219
2220 The jumpers 1 and 2 probably add 0x0800 and 0x1000 to RAM address.
2221
2222
2223 Setting the Interrupt Line
2224 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2225
2226 Jumpers 1-5 of the jumper block J1 control the IRQ level. ON means
2227 shorted, OFF means open::
2228
2229 Jumper | IRQ
2230 1 2 3 4 5 |
2231 ----------------------------
2232 ON OFF OFF OFF OFF | 2
2233 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF | 3
2234 OFF OFF ON OFF OFF | 4
2235 OFF OFF OFF ON OFF | 5
2236 OFF OFF OFF OFF ON | 7
2237
2238
2239 Setting the Timeout Parameters
2240 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2241
2242 The jumpers J3 are used to set the timeout parameters. These two
2243 jumpers are normally left open.

2322
2323 There is a DIP-switch with 8 switches, used to set the shared memory address
2324 to be used. The first 6 switches set the address, the 7th doesn't have any
2325 function, and the 8th switch is used to select "compatible" or "enhanced".
2326 When I got my two cards, one of them had this switch set to "enhanced". That
2327 card didn't work at all, it wasn't even recognized by the driver. The other
2328 card had this switch set to "compatible" and it behaved absolutely normally. I
2329 guess that the switch on one of the cards, must have been changed accidentally
2330 when the card was taken out of its former host. The question remains
2331 unanswered, what is the purpose of the "enhanced" position?
2332
2333 [Avery's note: "enhanced" probably either disables shared memory (use IO
2334 ports instead) or disables IO ports (use memory addresses instead). This
2335 varies by the type of card involved. I fail to see how either of these
2336 enhance anything. Send me more detailed information about this mode, or
2337 just use "compatible" mode instead.]

2344 - from Robert Michael Best <rmb117@cs.usask.ca>
2345
2346 [Avery's note: these don't work with my driver for some reason. These cards
2347 SEEM to have settings similar to the PDI508Plus, which is
2348 software-configured and doesn't work with my driver either. The "Waterloo
2349 chip" is a boot PROM, probably designed specifically for the University of
2350 Waterloo. If you have any further information about this card, please
2351 e-mail me.]
2352
2353 The probe has not been able to detect the card on any of the J2 settings,
2354 and I tried them again with the "Waterloo" chip removed.

2507 Setting the Node ID
2508 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2509
2510 The eight switches in group SW1 are used to set the node ID.
2511 Each node attached to the network must have an unique node ID which
2512 must be different from 0.
2513 Switch 8 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
2514
2515 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
2516 These values are::
2517
2518 Switch | Value
2519 -------|-------
2520 8 | 1

2547
2548 Setting the I/O Base Address
2549 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2550
2551 The first three switches in switch group SW2 are used to select one
2552 of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
2553
2554 Switch | Hex I/O
2555 1 2 3 | Address
2556 ------------|--------
2557 ON ON ON | 260
2558 ON ON OFF | 290
2559 ON OFF ON | 2E0 (Manufacturer's default)
2560 ON OFF OFF | 2F0
2561 OFF ON ON | 300
2562 OFF ON OFF | 350
2563 OFF OFF ON | 380
2564 OFF OFF OFF | 3E0
2565
2566
2567 Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2568 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2569
2570 The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
2571 16K block can be located in any of eight positions.
2572 Switches 4-6 of switch group SW2 select the Base of the 16K block.
2573 Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
2574 positions, determined by the offset, switches 7 and 8 of group SW2.

2622 The default is jumper ROM not installed.
2623
2624
2625 Setting Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ)
2626 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2627
2628 To select a hardware interrupt level set one (only one!) of the jumpers
2629 IRQ2, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5 or IRQ7. The manufacturer's default is IRQ2.
2630
2631
2632 Setting the Timeouts
2633 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2634
2635 The two jumpers labeled ET1 and ET2 are used to determine the timeout
2636 parameters (response and reconfiguration time). Every node in a network
2637 must be set to the same timeout values.
2638

2652 -------------
2653
2654 The manual of my 8-Bit NONAME ARCnet Card contains another description
2655 of a 16-Bit Coax / Twisted Pair Card. This description is incomplete,
2656 because there are missing two pages in the manual booklet. (The table
2657 of contents reports pages ... 2-9, 2-11, 2-12, 3-1, ... but inside
2658 the booklet there is a different way of counting ... 2-9, 2-10, A-1,
2659 (empty page), 3-1, ..., 3-18, A-1 (again), A-2)
2660 Also the picture of the board layout is not as good as the picture of
2661 8-Bit card, because there isn't any letter like "SW1" written to the
2662 picture.
2663
2664 Should somebody have such a board, please feel free to complete this
2665 description or to send a mail to me!

2700 Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
2701
2702
2703 Setting the Node ID
2704 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2705
2706 The eight switches in group SW2 are used to set the node ID.
2707 Each node attached to the network must have an unique node ID which
2708 must be different from 0.
2709 Switch 8 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
2710
2711 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
2712 These values are::
2713
2714 Switch | Value
2715 -------|-------
2716 8 | 1
2717 7 | 2
2718 6 | 4
2719 5 | 8
2720 4 | 16
2721 3 | 32
2722 2 | 64
2723 1 | 128
2724
2725 Some Examples::
2726

2742
2743
2744 Setting the I/O Base Address
2745 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2746
2747 The first three switches in switch group SW1 are used to select one
2748 of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
2749
2750 Switch | Hex I/O
2751 3 2 1 | Address
2752 ------------|--------

2761
2762
2763 Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2764 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2765
2766 The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
2767 16K block can be located in any of eight positions.
2768 Switches 6-8 of switch group SW1 select the Base of the 16K block.
2769 Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
2770 positions, determined by the offset, switches 4 and 5 of group SW1::
2771

2828 8-bit cards ("Made in Taiwan R.O.C.")
2829 -------------------------------------
2830
2831 - from Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>
2832
2833 I have named this ARCnet card "NONAME", since I got only the card with
2834 no manual at all and the only text identifying the manufacturer is
2835 "MADE IN TAIWAN R.O.C" printed on the card.

2876 Although the jumpers SW1 and SW3 are marked SW, not JP, they are jumpers, not
2877 switches.
2878
2879 Setting the jumpers to ON means connecting the upper two pins, off the bottom
2880 two - or - in case of IRQ setting, connecting none of them at all.
2881
2882 Setting the Node ID
2883 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2884
2885 The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
2886 to the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0.
2887 Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
2888
2889 Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
2890
2891 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
2892 These values are::
2893
2894 Switch | Label | Value
2895 -------|-------|-------
2896 1 | ID0 | 1
2897 2 | ID1 | 2

2923
2924 Setting the I/O Base Address
2925 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2926
2927 The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
2928 of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
2929
2930
2931 Switch | Hex I/O
2932 6 7 8 | Address
2933 ------------|--------

2942
2943
2944 Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2945 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2946
2947 The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
2948 located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
2949 memory base + 0x2000.
2950
2951 Jumpers 3-5 of jumper block SW1 select the Memory Base address.
2952
2953 ::

2964 ON ON ON OFF OFF | DC000 | DE000
2965 ON ON OFF OFF OFF | E0000 | E2000
2966
2967 *) To enable the Boot ROM set the jumper 8 of jumper block SW3 to position ON.
2968
2969 The jumpers 1 and 2 probably add 0x0800, 0x1000 and 0x1800 to RAM adders.
2970
2971 Setting the Interrupt Line
2972 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2973
2974 Jumpers 1-5 of the jumper block SW3 control the IRQ level::
2975
2976 Jumper | IRQ
2977 1 2 3 4 5 |

2984
2985
2986 Setting the Timeout Parameters
2987 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2988
2989 The jumpers 6-7 of the jumper block SW3 are used to determine the timeout
2990 parameters. These two jumpers are normally left in the OFF position.

3050 To select a hardware interrupt level set one (only one!) of the dip switches
3051 up (on) SW1...(switches 1-5)
3052 IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7, IRQ2. The Manufacturer's default is IRQ2.
3053
3054 The switches on SW1 labeled EXT1 (switch 6) and EXT2 (switch 7)
3055 are used to determine the timeout parameters. These two dip switches
3056 are normally left off (down).
3057
3058 To enable the 8K Boot PROM position SW1 switch 8 on (UP) labeled ROM.
3059 The default is jumper ROM not installed.
3060
3061
3062 Setting the I/O Base Address
3063 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3064
3065 The last three switches in switch group SW2 are used to select one
3066 of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
3067

3109
3110 The eight switches in group SW3 are used to set the node ID.
3111 Each node attached to the network must have an unique node ID which
3112 must be different from 0.
3113 Switch 1 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
3114 switches in the DOWN position are OFF (0) and in the UP position are ON (1)
3115
3116 The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
3117 These values are::
