Genius KYE Systems GE200011 Series User manual

.
Chapter 1 Introduction
The GE200011 Series are 16-bit Jumper & Jumperless Novell
NE2000 compatible Ethernet adapters designed for users to
connect IBM PC/XT/AT and its compatible computers to an
IEEE802.3 Ethernet network. The GE200011 Series includes
the following three models:
*GE2000ll-2
: Supports both RJ-45 phone jack & BNC
connectors for IOBASE-T UTP cable and
1 OBASE-2 thin coaxial cable connections.
* GE2000ll-CX : Supports BNC connector for 10BASE-2 thin
coaxial cable connection.
*GE2000ll-TP
: Supports RJ-45 phone jack connector for
1 OBASE-T UTP cable connection.
(All of these three models support an AUI expension
connector for an optional AUI expension cable)
Features 8 Benefits
The GE200011 series allow users to configure the hardware
by using either jumper or software. The auto-setup feature
makes the card “plug
& play”. 8 interrupts and 8 I/O
addresses are supported to increase the flexibility of the
hardware installation. It is also equipped with
16KB SRAM
on-board data buffer, socket for an optional 8KB remote boot
ROM. In addition, it provides comprehensive driver supports
for those most popular network operating systems (NOS)
such as, NetWare, Personal NetWare, LAN Manager, WFW,
and
TCP/IP. Diagnostic program is provided for detecting
hardware configuration /connection /operation failure.

Hardware Installation
The hardware installation requires the following two steps:
l Adapter Configuration
l Adapter Installation
l Adapter Diagnostic
Adapter Configuration
. .
This GE200011 LAN adapter supports both software
configuration (Jumperless mode), and the jumper setting
(Jumper mode). Both configuration modes are described as
follows:
Jumperless Mode Configuration
GE200011 is by default set at jumperless mode (IRQ=3, l/O
address:300H), users can configure the LAN adapter by
using the software. There are two steps to configure
LAN
adapter: Step 1. set JP1 on “JPLESS”, Step 2. run SETUP
program.
Step
1. Set JP1 on “JPLESS”:
.
Figure 5. Jumperless mode setting
Then, user can start to install the
LAN adapter into PC and
run SETUP program to configure the hardware (Please refer
to Adapter Installation for the procedure of installing the LAN
adapter)

Step 2. Run SETUP Program
To run SETUP program in theDOS prompt, please locate
the prompt under A:\SETUP subdirectory and type:
A:>SETUP [J]
To configure the LAN adapter, please select “Configuration”
and press[J] and the program begins.
provides auto-configuration function. By selecting
this function, the program will automatically detect the
available IRQ and
I/O, and avoid the potential conflicts in the
systems.
Users may configure the adapter by selecting “Manual
Setup”. The“*” mark shown in the menu means that there is
a potential conflict, and you can not use that address.

After comoletina the setuo oroaram. users MUST select
“Save Configuration” to save the selection and reboot PC
system again by truning OFF/ON power switch.
Jumper Mode Configuration
If jumper configuration is used, the following jumper settings
1
(JP1 and JP2) are required:
I.
JP1 Setting (IRQ Setting)
Remove jumper from “JPLESS” position and put it to the
IRQ position which is selected.
Figure 8. IRQ Jumper setting
II. JP2 Setting (I/O, Boot ROM, Memory address setting)
I/O Address Setting
GE200011 is factory-set to use l/O address 300H. If address
300H is occupied by other hardware, please change the
setting on JP2 to another address. The figure below shows
the settings.

Boot ROM Usage and Memory Address Setting
An optional boot ROM is available to be installed on the 6. Connect the adapter to the network using thin or twisted-
adapter. JP2 is by default set to Boot ROM disable. If a pair Ethernet cable. (an optional AUI expansion port is
boot ROM is installed on the adapter, move the jumper to available for thick Ethernet cable). A 50-ohm terminator

Adapter Installation
In order to prevent any possible damage, please follow the
procedure below to install the adapter:
1. Turn off the power of PC and unplug its AC power cord.
2. Remove the cover of the computer’s chassis.
3. Plug the adapter into an available ISA bus slot.
4. Secure the adapter in the slot by tightening the screw on
metal mount to the back of the PC’s chassis.
5. Replace the cover of the PC’s chassis.

increased.
Cable Test
Reconfiguration
To check the -cable status. If the
cable is not connected properly,
cable fault signal will appear on
screen.
To reconfigure your adapter if you
need to.
Chapter 3
Driver Installation
The GE200011 series needs software driver programs to
work with network operating systems. These programs are
loaded on the diskette contained in the GE200011 series
package.
Before intalling the driver programs, please make sure the
following points:
The LAN adapter is configured properly either by software
or by jumper setting.
All network cables are well connected and the right cable
is used.
The driver diskette contains drivers for most major network
environments including Novell’s NetWare, Personal
NetWare,
Microsoft’s LAN Manager, Windows for
Workgroups, and Packet driver for
TCP/IP.
Detailed
installation steps of each driver program are described in the
” READ. ME” file in the related sub-directories.
