DigiWARE Release Notes 93000240N for Digi NetWare AIO Device Driver Combo Disk Version 1.3.0 09-03-99 1. Enhancements - The Xem and Xr drivers now allow the "name=" parameter to be used with PCI host adapters. It will now load a single board when the name= is used. If that parameter is not included on the command line it will still load all PCI adapters. - The following drivers are at the following revisions and are contained in the following Part Numbers. Version ------- * Xem Systems AIODGXEM.NLM V 2.09 * Xr Host Adapters AIODGXR.NLM V 1.08 * Xe Host Adapters AIODGXI.NLM V 2.03 * Xi Host Adapters AIODGXI.NLM V 2.03 C/X Systems AIODGCX.NLM V 1.15 EPC/X Systems AIODGEPC.NLM V 2.08 * C/X PCI Systems AIODGCXP.NLM V 1.05 * -indicates version change 2. Limitations General Driver Limitations. - The following baud rates are not supported : 2000, 3600 and 7200 baud. - While hardware handshaking is active, RTS can not be overridden. - Mark and Space Parity are not supported. - The DeadmanTimer function is not supported. - Adjustable buffer sizes are not supported. - Micro Channel is now supported on a seperate disk. Please refer to disk number 40001730. Xem Specific Limitations. - The 8emp module (8 serial ports plus one parallel port) is viewed by the driver (and reported to AIO) as 9 serial ports. However, the 9th port is actually the parallel port and is unusable as a serial port. This means that of the 9 ports reported to AIO only the first 8 are usable. There is no support under AIO for parallel ports. - In ISA and EISA computers these boards may be configured to reside on 32k boundaries in the host memory address range from 80000h - EFFFFh. Xr Specific Limitations. - In ISA and EISA computers these boards may be configured to reside on 32k boundaries in the host memory address range from 80000h - EFFFFh. Xe and Xi Driver Specific Limitations. - The "size=" parameter is no longer supported. If a board is 8k "window-able" it will be run in 8k window mode. - The AIO driver supports a maximum of 7 PC/X* boards in ISA and EISA computers. These boards may be configured with 64k or 128k of dual- ported RAM and may reside at host memory addresses 80000h, 90000h, A0000h, B0000h, C0000h, D0000h or E0000h. C/X (ISA and EISA) Driver Specific Limitations. - GetPortStatisticsNH is not supported. - The AIO driver supports a maximum of 4 C/X host adapter cards in ISA and EISA computers. - Regardless of hardware buffer space only 1024 bytes transmit and 1024 bytes receive buffer space is claimed. - The C/Con-16 concentrators will support 115k, but with a limited number of ports. EPC/X Driver Specific Limitations. - The 8emp module (8 serial ports plus one parallel port) is viewed by the driver (and reported to AIO) as 9 serial ports. However, the 9th port is actually the parallel port and is unusable as a serial port. This means that of the 9 ports reported to AIO only the first 8 are usable. There is no support under AIO for parallel ports. - In ISA and EISA computers the host apapters must be configured to reside on 32k boundaries in the host memory address range from 80000h - EFFFFh. C/X PCI Driver Specific Limitations. - The AIO driver supports a maximum of 4 C/X PCI host adapter cards. - If using an EPC/CON-16, the driver is unable to receive breaks. 3. Bug Fixes - The install files now call out the correct directory names. 4. Manual Errata - These drivers require a fully patched NetWare Server. Please check that the current operating system and LAN driver patches are installed. - Documentation is available at www.dgii.com. EPC/x Driver Note - In addition to AIODGEPC.NLM, AIOEPCFG.NLM, AIODGMEM.NLM, AIOEPCDT.NLM and AIODGEPC.ADI also copy the files DGEPCXF.BIN, DGEPCXPF.BIN, DGEPCXB.BIN, DGEPCXPB.BIN, DGSER.NLM, DGT1CFG.NLM and FEPMNGR.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory. - The EPC/x Driver no longer supports Micro Channel. Please disregard any reference to this in the manual. 5.
