Hardware Installation  
Connecting to 10BaseT Twisted Pair  
Networks  
The Trumpcard Ethernet LAN can be connected to a 10BaseT Network in  
one of two ways: directly connected through a cable attached to the  
Trumpcard if you have the 10BaseT version, or via the Media Access  
Module if you need to connect with 10Base2 cabling.  
Connecting directly to the Trumpcard, the cable supplied has a male RJ-45  
connector at one end that can be attached to an input port of a 10BaseT  
compatible concentrator; the external Media Access Module is not  
required. All the necessary interface is provided within the Trumpcard.  
To direct connect the Trumpcard to a 10BaseT Network connection follow  
these steps:  
Locate the twisted pair cable that has a male RJ-45 connector at one  
end and a PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter connector at the other.  
For a multi-function Trumpcard, the Ethernet connection is identified  
on the back of the PC Card. Insert the PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter  
connector into the one marked Ethernet.  
Connect the male RJ-45 connector into an input port of a 10BaseT  
compatible concentrator.

Networks  
The Trumpcard can only be connected to a 10Base2 Network by using the  
Media Access Module.  
The following items are required to interconnect the Trumpcard to a  
10Base2 thin coax Ethernet Network:  
• A BNC coaxial T-connector.  
• Coaxial cable(s) and a 50 ohm cable terminator if required.  
To connect the Trumpcard to a 10Base2 Network connection using the  
Media Access Module, follow these steps:  
For the multi-function Trumpcard, the Ethernet connection is  
identified on the back of the PC Card; insert the PCMCIA Ethernet  
Adapter connector on the Media Access Module into the one  
marked Ethernet.  
• Attach the T-connector to the BNC connector on the Media Access  
Module, align the notches in the T-connector with the posts on the  
BNC connector, push the connector in, and twist about one-quarter  
turn (until it is seated properly).  
• Connect the coaxial cable(s) to the open ends of the T-connector to  
form a single Network segment. If at the end of the network  
segment, attach a 50 ohm cable terminator to the unused  
T-connector post.  
Note:  
The Trumpcard is keyed to go in one way only. If you feel resistance  
before the it is fully inserted, remove it, turn it over, and re-insert it.

Section Two  
Media Access Module 10Base2 Network Connection  
Thin Coax Ethernet Segment  
A thin coax Ethernet cable segment is the length of cable between  
terminations. The Trumpcard PC Card functions with 185 meter (607 foot  
with IEEE 10Base2) or 300 meter (984 foot, using the extended length  
option) cable segments. The two above mentioned types of thin coax  
Ethernet cabling (IEEE 10Base2 and extended length option) are  
commonly used. Pick one type of cabling and consistently obey the  
protocol for that type throughout your network. If you mix the rules (for  
example, using two repeater links permitted by 10Base2 with the 100  
nodes per segment permitted under the extended length option), your  
network may have an excessive number of errors or may not operate at all.  
If your network uses standard 185-meter cable segments, all thin Ethernet  
cable segments in the network can be up to 185 meters long. Five  
standard length cable segments may be connected in line using  
commercially available repeaters. The total network span with five  
standard length segments is 925 meters (3,035 feet). No more than four  
repeaters can be on the signal path from one node to any other node. The  
standard 185 meter segment length is recommended because it allows  
you to use common thin coax Ethernet components which conform to the  
IEEE standard.  
If your network is using extended length 300-meter cable segments , all  
thin coax Ethernet cable segments in the network can be a maximum of  
300 meters long. Three 300-meter cable segments may be connected in  
line using repeaters. The total network span with three extended length  
segments is 900 meters (2,953 feet). No more than two repeaters can be  
in the signal path from one node to any other node.

Hardware Installation  
If you are using extended length segments, all repeaters and transceivers  
must be designed for 300-meter operation. In addition, all LAN adapters  
must be configured to operate with the extended segment length.  
Note:  
You cannot use Ethernet adapters to extend 185-meter segments to  
300-meter segments unless all LAN adapters and repeaters in the  
network are capable of operation on the extended segment length.

Hardware Installation  
Media Access Module LED Indicators  
The Media Access Module has two LED indicators used to provide a visual  
indication of the state of the network link. The LED indicators will only be  
operational once the Trumpcard network driver has been loaded or during  
Diagnostic testing.  
Activity LED (RED)  
The Activity LED will flash whenever any network activity is detected by  
the Media Access Module. The Activity LED can be used as a simple  
method of determining if the Media Access Module is exchanging data with  
the network.  
Link LED (GREEN)  
The Link LED lights whenever a twisted pair connection between the  
Media Access Module and the 10BaseT concentrator has been made. The  
Link LED is not used for 10Base2 thin coax connections. If the Link LED is  
not lit this would indicate that a connection between the Media Access  
Module and the 10BaseT concentrator has not been detected. Verify the  
wiring and make sure that a Trumpcard network driver has been loaded.

Socket Services and Card Services  
Your computer having Personal Computer Memory Card International  
Association (PCMCIA) support allows you to insert credit card-sized  
devices called PC Cards. The PCMCIA standard defines both a hardware  
and software standard. The software standard identifies two specifications  
which are called Socket Services and Card Services.  
Socket Services provides lowest level support by providing a common  
interface to varying types of PCMCIA adapter hardware. Card Services  
provides support for PCMCIA aware device drivers (known as clients), and  
is responsible for coordinating access to the PC Cards and allocating  
system resources among client drivers.  
Ositech's Trumpcard software is PCMCIA aware and will work with most  
Socket Services and Card Services available, that conform to the PCMCIA  
2.x standard. The Trumpcard software will operate as a client driver when  
used with Card Services, and can coexist with other client drivers (i.e.  
Super Clients, Flash, ATA, ...). When operating with Card and Socket  
Services the Trumpcard software will support hot removal and insertion of  
the PC Card.  
If Card Services is not detected by the Trumpcard software but Socket  
Services is, then the software will operate with Socket Services only.  
Support for Socket Services is provided to allow for differing types of  
PCMCIA hardware to be used by the Trumpcard software, but the full  
range of features will not be supported (mainly hot removal/insertion).  
It is also possible to use the Trumpcard software without Card Services or  
Socket Services but, as with only using Socket Services, the full range of  
features will not be supported. If your computer did not come equipped  
with Card and Socket Services, contact your computer manufacturer or  
dealer for more details.  
Multi-Function Configuration  
If the Trumpcard you are using provides other functions in addition to  
Ethernet networking, please refer to the Installation Manual accompanying  
the Trumpcard. Details on how to enable and use all the functions  
provided on the Trumpcard will be discussed in that manual.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Section Three  
The Trumpcard DLPI driver requires that the Trumpcard PC Card be  
inserted prior to the driver being loaded. If no Trumpcard is found the  
driver will not be loaded and networking functions will NOT be available.  
When the driver has successfully loaded, unpredictable results will occur if  
the Trumpcard is now removed from the PCMCIA slot. The Trumpcard  
DLPI Driver DOES NOT support hot insertion and removal.  
To install the Trumpcard DLPI driver, you need to create an Ositech DLPI  
Driver Disk using the INSTALL shell script from the DOS formatted  
Network Drivers distribution diskette provided with the PC Card. The first  
step is to copy the INSTALL shell script to the Unixware /tmp directory  
from the distribution diskette \UNIX\UW directory.  
The installation process performed by the INSTALL shell script consists of  
two basic steps:  
1)  
Creating the Ositech DLPI Driver Disk from the compressed  
disk image extracted from the osi_uw.tar archive.  
2)  
Second, installing the driver from the Ositech DLPI Driver Disk  
using the pkgadd utility.  
Note:  
If the Trumpcard is a Multi-Function PC Card, additional steps may be  
required to complete the full installation. Refer to the Installation Guide  
accompanying the PC Card for more details.  
In order to successfully complete the installation process the following is  
required:  
One blank 3.5 inch high density (1.44MB) diskette labelled  
“Ositech Trumpcard DLPI Driver Disk”.  
IO ports and IRQs that you wish to assign to the LAN function.  
The LAN will need 32 ports (default of 0x300-0x31f).  
A 4K memory window that you can assign to the driver in the  
range of 0xc0000 and 0xf0000. The default is 0xc8000.  
Ability to use pkgadd to install and configure the Network  
software.  
2MB of free disk space for the various temporary files that are  
created during the install process on the file system  
containing  
the /tmp directory.  
To create the Ositech Trumpcard DLPI Driver install diskette, and to  
install the driver, you need only execute the INSTALL shell script that you  
have copied to the /tmp directory. You can only execute the INSTALL script  
after you have become the root user.  
Note:  
3 - 20  
It is highly recommended that you run the shell script as root,  
because the installation process will require that you relink the kernel.

SCO UNIX LLI Driver  
The Trumpcard LLI Driver is a Network driver and enabler for Intel,  
Databook and compatible PCMCIA equipped computers. With this driver  
installed networking functions will be available under SCO UNIX.  
The Trumpcard LLI driver requires that the Trumpcard PC Card be  
inserted prior to the driver being loaded. If no Trumpcard is found, the  
driver will not be loaded and networking functions will NOT be available.  
When the driver has successfully loaded, unpredictable results will occur if  
the Trumpcard is now removed from the PCMCIA slot. The Trumpcard LLI  
Driver DOES NOT support hot insertion and removal.  
To install the Trumpcard LLI driver, you need to create an Ositech LLI  
Driver Disk using the INSTALL shell script from the DOS formatted  
Network Drivers distribution diskette provided with the adapter. The first  
step is to copy the INSTALL shell script to the UNIX /tmp directory from the  
distribution diskette \UNIX\SCO directory. If you do not have the DOS file  
system support installed on your UNIX system, then you must also copy  
the osi_sco.tar file to the /tmp directory. If you wish to install the DOS file  
system support, then execute the UNIX command “mkdev dos” as the  
root user, and reboot your machine.  
The installation process performed by the INSTALL shell script consists  
of three basic steps:  
1)  
2)  
3)  
Creating the Ositech LLI Driver Disk from the compressed  
disk image extracted from the osi_sco.tar archive.  
Second, installing the driver from the Ositech LLI Driver Disk  
using the custom utility.  
Binding the Network software to the Trumpcard driver using  
netconfig.  
Note:  
If the Trumpcard is a Multi-Function PC Card additional steps may be  
required to complete the full installation. Refer to the Installation Guide  
accompanying the PC Card for more details.

keyword is not present, the default value shown will be assumed.  
FRAME < frame type >  
Description: Frame type used by the driver  
Default: Ethernet_802.2  
Accepted values: Ethernet_802.3 , Ethernet_II , Ethernet_SNAP,  
Ethernet_802.2  
Note:  
Make sure the frame type matches that used by the server.  
MEDIA <media type>  
Description: Media type selected by the driver  
Default: AUTO  
Accepted Values: 10BASE2 or BASE2, 10BASET or BASET, AUTO  
Note:  
If you are using the dual media Trumpcard network PC Card, setting  
this keyword to 10Base2 or 10BaseT will force that media type  
connection only. By default, the driver will try to determine which  
media is connected by first trying 10BaseT, and then 10Base2.  
EXCLUSIVE  
Description: Put Trumpcard in LAN only mode  
Default: Multi-mode  
Note:  
If the Trumpcard is a multi-function card, specifying this keyword will  
disable the other function as long as the network driver is loaded. If  
the other function is already in use the driver will report an error.  
DISLINK  
Description: Disable link poll mode  
Default: Enable link

Note:  
This keyword is used to disable the Link Test Function on a 10BaseT  
network connection only.  
INT<interruptlevel>  
Description: Set the interrupt level  
Default: 5 or AUTO  
Accepted values: Any valid interrupt value excluding 0, 1, 2, 6, 8, and 13  
Note:  
If this keyword exists, the driver will return an error when unable to  
operate using the specified interrupt. If the keyword does not exist, the  
default interrupt level will be 5 if Card Services is not present;  
otherwise, the first available interrupt obtained from Card Services will  
be used.  
MEM <memory location>  
Description: Maps to 4K host memory location  
Default: C8000  
Note:  
When Card Services is not present (the only scenario in which this  
keyword applies), the Trumpcard driver will require the 4K memory  
window in order to determine the Trumpcard’s presence. If running a  
memory manager (such as EMM386 or QEMM), make sure to exclude  
the memory range used, i.e. X=C800-C8FF  
PORT <I/O port>  
Description: Set the I/O port  
Default: 300 or AUTO  
Accepted values: Any location within a 64 byte boundary (300 and up in  
increments of 40, with the upper limit dictated by the individual machine)  
Note:  
If this keyword exists, the driver will return an error if unable to operate  
using the I/O port specified. If the keyword does not exist, the default I/  
O port will be 300 if Card Services is not present; otherwise, the first  
available I/O port obtained from Card Services will be used.  
NODE ADDRESS <nnnnnnnnnnnn>  
Description: Station address used to override the default PROM value.  
Default: None (driver uses PROM)

APPENDIX C – MESSAGES  
WARNINGMESSAGES  
Warning messages will result in the network driver being loaded into  
memory, provided no error messages were reported. The driver will  
use pre-defined defaults when warnings are issued; the user will be  
informed of these defaults. Improper operation may result when  
defaults are used.  
MEDIA parameter is invalid: valid values are 10BASET, 10BASE2,  
or AUTO; default - AUTO  
SOCKET parameter is invalid: valid values are 1 or 2; default -  
AUTO  
MEM parameter is invalid: valid range is any hexademical address;  
default-C8000  
ERROR MESSAGES  
Error messages will result in the network driver not being loaded into  
memory. Correct the error condition and reload the network driver.  
Failed to register with Multi-Function Manager  
This error only occurs if the Multi-Function Manager is being used. The  
network driver is unable to register a valid configuration with the Multi-  
Function Manager. Registration could be disallowed for any one of  
these reasons:  
The EXCLUSIVE keyword was used and the other function on the  
Trumpcard is currently active.  
The IRQ or PORT keywords are used and either the IRQ or PORT  
requested is unavailable.

Appendices  
To correct this error, make sure that the requested resources (i.e. IRQ,  
PORT or EXCLUSIVE) used do not conflict with other resources currently  
in use.  
PCMCIA adapter not found  
The network driver has been unable to detect a PCMCIA adapter. A valid  
PCMCIA adapter must be INTEL or Databook compatible. If your  
computer does have a PCMCIA adapter but it is not recognized by the  
network driver, use the Socket Services software provided by the computer  
manufacturer to remedy this situation.  
Failed to register with Card Services  
This error only occurs if Card Services is detected. The network driver was  
unable to register a valid configuration with Card Services. Registration  
could be disallowed if the IRQ or PORT keyword is used and either the  
IRQ or PORT requested is unavailable.  
To correct this error, make sure that the requested resources i.e. IRQ, or  
PORT do not conflict with other resources currently in use.  
Failed to obtain IRQ  
Failed to release IRQ  
Failed to obtain I/O Port  
Failed to release I/O Port  
Failed to obtain Configuration  
Failed to release Configuration  
These errors are related to the obtaining and releasing of resources  
needed to operate the network. For errors related to obtaining resources,  
make sure that the I/O Port and IRQ requested is available for use by the  
network driver. Errors related to releasing resources should not occur  
under normal circumstances; if these errors occur, contact technical  
support for assistance.  
Unable to configure Trumpcard  
The driver was unable to successfully configure the Trumpcard for network  
operation.  
Only supported on PCMCIA 2.x or higher Socket/Card Services  
The OTCETH.xxx network driver will only support PCMCIA Socket and  
Card Services software that comply with PCMCIA version 2.x or higher.
