INTRODUCTION TO ARCNET
|
| 18 |
|
|
----------------------
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
ARCnet is a network type which works in a way similar to popular Ethernet
|
| 21 |
|
|
networks but which is also different in some very important ways.
|
| 22 |
|
|
|
| 23 |
|
|
First of all, you can get ARCnet cards in at least two speeds: 2.5 Mbps
|
| 24 |
|
|
(slower than Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (faster than normal Ethernet). In fact,
|
| 25 |
|
|
there are others as well, but these are less common. The different hardware
|
| 26 |
|
|
types, as far as I'm aware, are not compatible and so you cannot wire a
|
| 27 |
|
|
100 Mbps card to a 2.5 Mbps card, and so on. From what I hear, my driver does
|
| 28 |
|
|
work with 100 Mbps cards, but I haven't been able to verify this myself,
|
| 29 |
|
|
since I only have the 2.5 Mbps variety. It is probably not going to saturate
|
| 30 |
|
|
your 100 Mbps card. Stop complaining :)
|
| 31 |
|
|
|
| 32 |
|
|
You also cannot connect an ARCnet card to any kind of Ethernet card and
|
| 33 |
|
|
expect it to work.
|
| 34 |
|
|
|
| 35 |
|
|
There are two "types" of ARCnet - STAR topology and BUS topology. This
|
| 36 |
|
|
refers to how the cards are meant to be wired together. According to most
|
| 37 |
|
|
available documentation, you can only connect STAR cards to STAR cards and
|
| 38 |
|
|
BUS cards to BUS cards. That makes sense, right? Well, it's not quite
|
| 39 |
|
|
true; see below under "Cabling."
|
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
Once you get past these little stumbling blocks, ARCnet is actually quite a
|
| 42 |
|
|
well-designed standard. It uses something called "modified token passing"
|
| 43 |
|
|
which makes it completely incompatible with so-called "Token Ring" cards,
|
| 44 |
|
|
but which makes transfers much more reliable than Ethernet does. In fact,
|
| 45 |
|
|
ARCnet will guarantee that a packet arrives safely at the destination, and
|
| 46 |
|
|
even if it can't possibly be delivered properly (ie. because of a cable
|
| 47 |
|
|
break, or because the destination computer does not exist) it will at least
|
| 48 |
|
|
tell the sender about it.
|
| 49 |
|
|
|
| 50 |
|
|
Because of the carefully defined action of the "token", it will always make
|
| 51 |
|
|
a pass around the "ring" within a maximum length of time. This makes it
|
| 52 |
|
|
useful for realtime networks.
|
| 53 |
|
|
|
| 54 |
|
|
In addition, all known ARCnet cards have an (almost) identical programming
|
| 55 |
|
|
interface. This means that with one "arcnet" driver you can support any
|
| 56 |
|
|
card; whereas, with Ethernet, each manufacturer uses what is sometimes a
|
| 57 |
|
|
completely different programming interface, leading to a lot of different,
|
| 58 |
|
|
sometimes very similar, Ethernet drivers. Of course, always using the same
|
| 59 |
|
|
programming interface also means that when high-performance hardware
|
| 60 |
|
|
facilities like PCI busmastering DMA appear, it's hard to take advantage of
|
| 61 |
|
|
them. Let's not go into that.
|
| 62 |
|
|
|
| 63 |
|
|
One thing that makes ARCnet cards difficult to program for, however, is the
|
| 64 |
|
|
limit on their packet sizes; standard ARCnet can only send packets that are
|
| 65 |
|
|
up to 508 bytes in length. This is smaller than the internet "bare minimum"
|
| 66 |
|
|
of 576 bytes, let alone the Ethernet MTU of 1500. To compensate, an extra
|
| 67 |
|
|
level of encapsulation is defined by RFC1201, which I call "packet
|
| 68 |
|
|
splitting," that allows "virtual packets" to grow as large as 64K each,
|
| 69 |
|
|
although they are generally kept down to the Ethernet-style 1500 bytes.
|
| 70 |
|

|
| 71 |

|
| 72 |
|
|
advantages) of ARCnet networks, you might try the "ARCnet Trade Association"

This section was rewritten by

Vojtech Pavlik

using information from several people, including:
|
| 83 |

|
| 85 |
|
|
John Paul Morrison
|
| 86 |
|
|
Joachim Koenig
|
| 87 |
|
|
and Avery touched it up a bit, at Vojtech's request.
|
| 88 |
|
|
|
| 89 |
|
|
ARCnet (the classic 2.5 Mbps version) can be connected by two different
|
| 90 |
|
|
types of cabling: coax and twisted pair. The other ARCnet-type networks
|
| 91 |
|
|
(100 Mbps TCNS and 320 kbps - 32 Mbps ARCnet Plus) use different types of
|
| 92 |
|
|
cabling (Type1, Fiber, C1, C4, C5).
|
| 93 |
|
|
|
| 94 |
|
|
For a coax network, you "should" use 93 Ohm RG-62 cable. But other cables
|
| 95 |
|
|
also work fine, because ARCnet is a very stable network. I personally use 75
|
| 96 |
|
|
Ohm TV antenna cable.
|
| 97 |
|
|
|
| 98 |
|
|
Cards for coax cabling are shipped in two different variants: for BUS and
|
| 99 |
|
|
STAR network topologies. They are mostly the same. The only difference
|
| 100 |
|
|
lies in the hybrid chip installed. BUS cards use high impedance output,
|
| 101 |
|
|
while STAR use low impedance. Low impedance card (STAR) is electrically
|
| 102 |
|
|
equal to a high impedance one with a terminator installed.
|
| 103 |
|
|
|
| 104 |
|
|
Usually, the ARCnet networks are built up from STAR cards and hubs. There
|
| 105 |
|
|
are two types of hubs - active and passive. Passive hubs are small boxes
|
| 106 |
|
|
with four BNC connectors containing four 47 Ohm resistors:
|
| 107 |
|
|
|
| 108 |
|
|
| | wires
|
| 109 |
|
|
R + junction
|
| 110 |
|
|
-R-+-R- R 47 Ohm resistors
|
| 111 |
|
|
R
|
| 112 |
|
|
|
|
| 113 |
|
|
|
| 114 |
|
|
The shielding is connected together. Active hubs are much more complicated;
|
| 115 |
|
|
they are powered and contain electronics to amplify the signal and send it
|
| 116 |
|
|
to other segments of the net. They usually have eight connectors. Active
|
| 117 |
|
|
hubs come in two variants - dumb and smart. The dumb variant just
|
| 118 |
|
|
amplifies, but the smart one decodes to digital and encodes back all packets
|
| 119 |
|
|
coming through. This is much better if you have several hubs in the net,
|
| 120 |
|
|
since many dumb active hubs may worsen the signal quality.
|
| 121 |
|
|
|
| 122 |
|
|
And now to the cabling. What you can connect together:
|
| 123 |
|
|
|
| 124 |
|
|
1. A card to a card. This is the simplest way of creating a 2-computer
|
| 125 |
|
|
network.
|
| 126 |
|
|
|
| 127 |
|
|
2. A card to a passive hub. Remember that all unused connectors on the hub
|
| 128 |
|
|
must be properly terminated with 93 Ohm (or something else if you don't
|
| 129 |
|
|
have the right ones) terminators.
|
| 130 |
|
|
(Avery's note: oops, I didn't know that. Mine (TV cable) works
|
| 131 |
|
|
anyway, though.)
|
| 132 |
|
|
|
| 133 |
|
|
3. A card to an active hub. Here is no need to terminate the unused
|
| 134 |
|
|
connectors except some kind of aesthetic feeling. But, there may not be
|
| 135 |
|
|
more than eleven active hubs between any two computers. That of course
|
| 136 |
|
|
doesn't limit the number of active hubs on the network.
|
| 137 |
|
|
|
| 138 |
|
|
4. An active hub to another.
|
| 139 |
|
|
|
| 140 |
|
|
5. An active hub to passive hub.
|
| 141 |
|
|
|
| 142 |
|
|
Remember, that you can not connect two passive hubs together. The power loss
|
| 143 |
|
|
implied by such a connection is too high for the net to operate reliably.
|
| 144 |
|
|
|
| 145 |
|
|
An example of a typical ARCnet network:
|
| 146 |
|
|
|

|
|

The BUS topology is very similar to the one used by Ethernet. The only
|
| 157 |
|
|
difference is in cable and terminators: they should be 93 Ohm. Ethernet
|
| 158 |
|
|
uses 50 Ohm impedance. You use T connectors to put the computers on a single
|
| 159 |
|
|
line of cable, the bus. You have to put terminators at both ends of the
|
| 160 |
|
|
cable. A typical BUS ARCnet network looks like:
|
| 161 |
|
|
|
| 162 |
|
|
RT----T------T------T------T------TR

R - Terminator
|
| 167 |
|
|
T - T connector
|
| 168 |
|
|
|
| 169 |
|
|
But that is not all! The two types can be connected together. According to
|
| 170 |
|
|
the official documentation the only way of connecting them is using an active
|
| 171 |
|
|
hub:
|
| 172 |
|
|
|
| 173 |
|
|

The official docs also state that you can use STAR cards at the ends of
|
| 180 |
|
|
BUS network in place of a BUS card and a terminator:
|
| 181 |
|
|

S------T------T------S
|
| 183 |
|
|
B B
|
| 184 |
|
|
|
| 185 |
|
|
But, according to my own experiments, you can simply hang a BUS type card
|
| 186 |
|
|
anywhere in middle of a cable in a STAR topology network. And more - you
|
| 187 |
|
|
can use the bus card in place of any star card if you use a terminator. Then
|
| 188 |
|
|
you can build very complicated networks fulfilling all your needs! An
|
| 189 |

A basically different cabling scheme is used with Twisted Pair cabling. Each
|
| 205 |
|
|
of the TP cards has two RJ (phone-cord style) connectors. The cards are
|
| 206 |
|
|
then daisy-chained together using a cable connecting every two neighboring
|
| 207 |
|
|
cards. The ends are terminated with RJ 93 Ohm terminators which plug into
|
| 208 |
|
|
the empty connectors of cards on the ends of the chain. An example:
|
| 209 |

|
|
|
| 217 |
|
|
There are also hubs for the TP topology. There is nothing difficult
|
| 218 |
|
|
involved in using them; you just connect a TP chain to a hub on any end or
|
| 219 |
|
|
even at both. This way you can create almost any network configuration.
|
| 220 |
|
|
The maximum of 11 hubs between any two computers on the net applies here as
|
| 221 |
|
|
well. An example:
|
| 222 |

R - RJ Terminator

P - TP Card
|
| 231 |
|
|
H - TP Hub
|
| 232 |
|
|
|
| 233 |
|
|
Like any network, ARCnet has a limited cable length. These are the maximum
|
| 234 |
|
|
cable lengths between two active ends (an active end being an active hub or
|
| 235 |
|
|
a STAR card).
|
| 236 |
|
|
|
| 237 |
|
|
RG-62 93 Ohm up to 650 m
|
| 238 |
|
|
RG-59/U 75 Ohm up to 457 m
|
| 239 |
|
|
RG-11/U 75 Ohm up to 533 m
|
| 240 |
|
|
IBM Type 1 150 Ohm up to 200 m
|
| 241 |
|
|
IBM Type 3 100 Ohm up to 100 m
|
| 242 |
|
|
|
| 243 |
|
|
The maximum length of all cables connected to a passive hub is limited to 65
|
| 244 |
|
|
meters for RG-62 cabling; less for others. You can see that using passive
|
| 245 |
|
|
hubs in a large network is a bad idea. The maximum length of a single "BUS
|
| 246 |
|
|
Trunk" is about 300 meters for RG-62. The maximum distance between the two
|
| 247 |
|
|
most distant points of the net is limited to 3000 meters. The maximum length
|
| 248 |
|
|
of a TP cable between two cards/hubs is 650 meters.

SETTING THE JUMPERS
|
| 252 |
|
|
-------------------
|
| 253 |
|
|
|
| 254 |
|
|
All ARCnet cards should have a total of four or five different settings:
|
| 255 |
|
|
|
| 256 |
|
|
- the I/O address: this is the "port" your ARCnet card is on. Probed
|
| 257 |
|
|
values in the Linux ARCnet driver are only from 0x200 through 0x3F0. (If
|
| 258 |
|
|
your card has additional ones, which is possible, please tell me.) This
|
| 259 |
|
|
should not be the same as any other device on your system. According to
|
| 260 |
|
|
a doc I got from Novell, MS Windows prefers values of 0x300 or more,
|
| 261 |
|
|
eating net connections on my system (at least) otherwise. My guess is
|
| 262 |
|
|
this may be because, if your card is at 0x2E0, probing for a serial port
|
| 263 |
|
|
at 0x2E8 will reset the card and probably mess things up royally.
|
| 264 |
|
|
- Avery's favourite: 0x300.
|
| 265 |
|
|
|
| 266 |
|
|
- the IRQ: on 8-bit cards, it might be 2 (9), 3, 4, 5, or 7.
|
| 267 |
|
|
on 16-bit cards, it might be 2 (9), 3, 4, 5, 7, or 10-15.
|
| 268 |
|
|
|
| 269 |
|
|
Make sure this is different from any other card on your system. Note
|
| 270 |
|
|
that IRQ2 is the same as IRQ9, as far as Linux is concerned. You can
|
| 271 |
|
|
"cat /proc/interrupts" for a somewhat complete list of which ones are in
|
| 272 |
|
|
use at any given time. Here is a list of common usages from Vojtech
|
| 273 |
|
|
Pavlik :
|
| 274 |
|
|
("Not on bus" means there is no way for a card to generate this
|
| 275 |
|
|
interrupt)
|
| 276 |
|
|
IRQ 0 - Timer 0 (Not on bus)
|
| 277 |
|
|
IRQ 1 - Keyboard (Not on bus)
|
| 278 |
|
|
IRQ 2 - IRQ Controller 2 (Not on bus, nor does interrupt the CPU)
|
| 279 |
|
|
IRQ 3 - COM2
|
| 280 |
|
|
IRQ 4 - COM1
|
| 281 |
|
|
IRQ 5 - FREE (LPT2 if you have it; sometimes COM3; maybe PLIP)
|
| 282 |
|
|
IRQ 6 - Floppy disk controller
|
| 283 |
|
|
IRQ 7 - FREE (LPT1 if you don't use the polling driver; PLIP)
|
| 284 |
|
|
IRQ 8 - Realtime Clock Interrupt (Not on bus)
|
| 285 |
|
|
IRQ 9 - FREE (VGA vertical sync interrupt if enabled)
|
| 286 |
|
|
IRQ 10 - FREE
|
| 287 |
|
|
IRQ 11 - FREE
|
| 288 |
|
|
IRQ 12 - FREE
|
| 289 |
|
|
IRQ 13 - Numeric Coprocessor (Not on bus)
|
| 290 |
|
|
IRQ 14 - Fixed Disk Controller
|
| 291 |
|
|
IRQ 15 - FREE (Fixed Disk Controller 2 if you have it)
|
| 292 |
|
|
|
| 293 |
|
|
Note: IRQ 9 is used on some video cards for the "vertical retrace"
|
| 294 |
|
|
interrupt. This interrupt would have been handy for things like
|
| 295 |
|
|
video games, as it occurs exactly once per screen refresh, but
|
| 296 |
|
|
unfortunately IBM cancelled this feature starting with the original
|
| 297 |
|
|
VGA and thus many VGA/SVGA cards do not support it. For this
|
| 298 |
|
|
reason, no modern software uses this interrupt and it can almost
|
| 299 |
|
|
always be safely disabled, if your video card supports it at all.
|
| 300 |
|
|
|
| 301 |
|
|
If your card for some reason CANNOT disable this IRQ (usually there
|
| 302 |
|
|
is a jumper), one solution would be to clip the printed circuit
|
| 303 |
|
|
contact on the board: it's the fourth contact from the left on the
|
| 304 |
|
|
back side. I take no responsibility if you try this.
|
| 305 |
|
|
|
| 306 |
|
|
- Avery's favourite: IRQ2 (actually IRQ9). Watch that VGA, though.
|
| 307 |
|
|
|
| 308 |
|
|
- the memory address: Unlike most cards, ARCnets use "shared memory" for
|
| 309 |
|
|
copying buffers around. Make SURE it doesn't conflict with any other
|
| 310 |
|
|
used memory in your system!
|
| 311 |
|
|
A0000 - VGA graphics memory (ok if you don't have VGA)
|
| 312 |
|
|
B0000 - Monochrome text mode
|
| 313 |
|
|
C0000 \ One of these is your VGA BIOS - usually C0000.
|
| 314 |
|
|
E0000 /
|
| 315 |
|
|
F0000 - System BIOS
|
| 316 |
|
|
|
| 317 |
|
|
Anything less than 0xA0000 is, well, a BAD idea since it isn't above
|
| 318 |
|
|
640k.
|
| 319 |
|
|
- Avery's favourite: 0xD0000
|
| 320 |
|
|
|
| 321 |
|
|
- the station address: Every ARCnet card has its own "unique" network
|
| 322 |
|
|
address from 0 to 255. Unlike Ethernet, you can set this address
|
| 323 |
|
|
yourself with a jumper or switch (or on some cards, with special
|
| 324 |
|
|
software). Since it's only 8 bits, you can only have 254 ARCnet cards
|
| 325 |
|
|
on a network. DON'T use 0 or 255, since these are reserved (although
|
| 326 |
|
|
neat stuff will probably happen if you DO use them). By the way, if you
|
| 327 |
|
|
haven't already guessed, don't set this the same as any other ARCnet on
|
| 328 |
|
|
your network!
|
| 329 |
|
|
- Avery's favourite: 3 and 4. Not that it matters.
|
| 330 |
|
|
|
| 331 |
|
|
- There may be ETS1 and ETS2 settings. These may or may not make a
|
| 332 |
|
|
difference on your card (many manuals call them "reserved"), but are
|
| 333 |
|
|
used to change the delays used when powering up a computer on the
|
| 334 |
|
|
network. This is only necessary when wiring VERY long range ARCnet
|
| 335 |
|
|
networks, on the order of 4km or so; in any case, the only real
|
| 336 |
|
|
requirement here is that all cards on the network with ETS1 and ETS2
|
| 337 |
|
|
jumpers have them in the same position. Chris Hindy
|
| 338 |
|
|
sent in a chart with actual values for this:

|
| 348 |
|
|
|
| 349 |
|
|
Also, on many cards (not mine, though) there are red and green LED's.

The following is all the specific information people have sent me about
|
| 365 |
|
|
their own particular ARCnet cards. It is officially a mess, and contains
|
| 366 |
|
|
huge amounts of duplicated information. I have no time to fix it. If you
|
| 367 |
|
|
want to, PLEASE DO! Just send me a 'diff -u' of all your changes.
|
| 368 |
|
|
|
| 369 |
|
|
The model # is listed right above specifics for that card, so you should be
|
| 370 |
|
|
able to use your text viewer's "search" function to find the entry you want.
|
| 371 |
|
|
If you don't KNOW what kind of card you have, try looking through the
|
| 372 |
|
|
various diagrams to see if you can tell.
|
| 373 |
|
|
|
| 374 |
|
|
If your model isn't listed and/or has different settings, PLEASE PLEASE
|
| 375 |
|
|
tell me. I had to figure mine out without the manual, and it WASN'T FUN!
|
| 376 |
|
|
|
| 377 |
|
|
Even if your ARCnet model isn't listed, but has the same jumpers as another
|
| 378 |
|
|
model that is, please e-mail me to say so.

About the jumpers: On my PC130 there is one more jumper, located near the
|
| 427 |
|
|
cable-connector and it's for changing to star or bus topology;
|
| 428 |
|
|
closed: star - open: bus
|
| 429 |
|
|
On the PC500 are some more jumper-pins, one block labeled with RX,PDN,TXI
|
| 430 |
|
|
and another with ALE,LA17,LA18,LA19 these are undocumented..

- Also, the JP- and S-numbers probably don't match your card exactly. Try

|
|
to find jumpers/switches with the same number of settings - it's
|
| 449 |

probably more reliable.

The PC130E is an enhanced version of the PC130 board, is equipped with a
|
| 553 |
|
|
standard BNC female connector for connection to RG-62/U coax cable.
|
| 554 |
|
|
Since this board is designed both for point-to-point connection in star
|
| 555 |
|
|
networks and for connection to bus networks, it is downwardly compatible
|
| 556 |
|
|
with all the other standard boards designed for coax networks (that is,
|
| 557 |
|
|
the PC120, PC110 and PC100 star topology boards and the PC220, PC210 and
|
| 558 |
|
|
PC200 bus topology boards).
|
| 559 |
|
|
|
| 560 |
|
|
The PC270E is an enhanced version of the PC260 board, is equipped with two
|
| 561 |
|
|
modular RJ11-type jacks for connection to twisted pair wiring.
|
| 562 |
|
|
It can be used in a star or a daisy-chained network.

|
| 639 |
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
| 640 |
|
|
|
| 641 |
|
|
The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
|
| 642 |
|
|
16K block can be located in any of eight positions.
|
| 643 |
|
|
Switches 4-6 of switch group S1 select the Base of the 16K block.
|
| 644 |
|
|
Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
|
| 645 |
|
|
positions, determined by the offset, switches 7 and 8 of group S1.

Setting the Timeouts and Interrupt
|
| 695 |
|
|
----------------------------------
|
| 696 |
|
|
|
| 697 |
|
|
The jumpers labeled EXT1 and EXT2 are used to determine the timeout
|
| 698 |
|
|
parameters. These two jumpers are normally left open.
|
| 699 |
|
|
|
| 700 |
|
|
To select a hardware interrupt level set one (only one!) of the jumpers
|
| 701 |
|
|
IRQ2, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7. The Manufacturer's default is IRQ2.
|
| 702 |

Configuring the PC130E for Star or Bus Topology
|
| 705 |
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
| 706 |
|
|
|
| 707 |
|
|
The single jumper labeled STAR is used to configure the PC130E board for
|
| 708 |
|
|
star or bus topology.
|
| 709 |
|
|
When the jumper is installed, the board may be used in a star network, when
|
| 710 |
|
|
it is removed, the board can be used in a bus topology.

---------------
|
| 715 |
|
|
|
| 716 |
|
|
Two diagnostic LEDs are visible on the rear bracket of the board.
|
| 717 |
|
|
The green LED monitors the network activity: the red one shows the
|
| 718 |
|
|

|
| 737 |
|
|
=====================================================================
|
| 738 |
|
|
|
| 739 |
|
|
Note: There is another Version of the PC500 called Short Version, which
|
| 740 |
|
|
is different in hard- and software! The most important differences
|
| 741 |
|
|
are:
|
| 742 |
|
|
- The long board has no Shared memory.
|
| 743 |
|
|
- On the long board the selection of the interrupt is done by binary
|
| 744 |
|
|
coded switch, on the short board directly by jumper.
|
| 745 |
|
|
|
| 746 |
|
|
[Avery's note: pay special attention to that: the long board HAS NO SHARED
|
| 747 |
|
|
MEMORY. This means the current Linux-ARCnet driver can't use these cards.
|
| 748 |
|
|
I have obtained a PC500Longboard and will be doing some experiments on it in
|
| 749 |
|
|
the future, but don't hold your breath. Thanks again to Juergen Seifert for
|
| 750 |
|
|
his advice about this!]

Setting the Node ID
|
| 819 |
|
|
-------------------
|
| 820 |
|
|
|
| 821 |
|
|
The eight switches in group SW3 are used to set the node ID. Each node
|
| 822 |
|
|
attached to the network must have an unique node ID which must be
|
| 823 |
|
|
different from 0.
|
| 824 |
|
|
Switch 1 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
|
| 825 |
|
|
|
| 826 |
|
|
The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
|
| 827 |
|
|
These values are:

| 903 |
|
|
---------------------
|
| 904 |
|
|
|
| 905 |
|
|
Switches seven through ten of switch group SW1 are used to select the
|
| 906 |
|
|
interrupt level. The interrupt level is binary coded, so selections
|
| 907 |
|
|
from 0 to 15 would be possible, but only the following eight values will
|
| 908 |
|
|
be supported: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12.

Setting the Timeouts
|
| 924 |
|
|
--------------------
|
| 925 |
|
|
|
| 926 |
|
|
The two jumpers JP2 (1-4) are used to determine the timeout parameters.
|
| 927 |
|
|
These two jumpers are normally left open.
|
| 928 |
|
|
Refer to the COM9026 Data Sheet for alternate configurations.

Configuring the PC500 for Star or Bus Topology
|
| 932 |
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
| 933 |
|
|
|
| 934 |
|
|
The single jumper labeled JP6 is used to configure the PC500 board for
|
| 935 |
|
|
star or bus topology.
|
| 936 |
|
|
When the jumper is installed, the board may be used in a star network, when
|
| 937 |
|
|
it is removed, the board can be used in a bus topology.

|
| 942 |
|
|
|
| 943 |
|
|
Two diagnostic LEDs are visible on the rear bracket of the board.
|
| 944 |
|
|
The green LED monitors the network activity: the red one shows the
|
| 945 |
|

PC710 (8-bit card)

|
|
Note: this data is gathered by experimenting and looking at info of other
|
| 963 |
|
|
cards. However, I'm sure I got 99% of the settings right.
|
| 964 |
|
|
|
| 965 |
|
|
The SMC710 card resembles the PC270 card, but is much more basic (i.e. no
|
| 966 |
|
|
LEDs, RJ11 jacks, etc.) and 8 bit. Here's a little drawing:

The row of jumpers at JP1 actually consists of 8 jumpers, (sometimes
|
| 988 |
|
|
labelled) the same as on the PC270, from top to bottom: EXT2, EXT1, ROM,
|
| 989 |
|
|
IRQ7, IRQ5, IRQ4, IRQ3, IRQ2 (gee, wonder what they would do? :-) )
|
| 990 |
|
|
|
| 991 |
|
|
S1 and S2 perform the same function as on the PC270, only their numbers
|
| 992 |
|
|
are swapped (S1 is the nodeaddress, S2 sets IO- and RAM-address).
|
| 993 |
|
|
|
| 994 |
|
|
I know it works when connected to a PC110 type ARCnet board.

LCS-8830(-T) (8 and 16-bit cards)
|
| 1001 |
|
|
---------------------------------
|
| 1002 |
|
|
- from Mathias Katzer
|
| 1003 |
|
|
- Marek Michalkiewicz says the
|
| 1004 |
|
|
LCS-8830 is slightly different from LCS-8830-T. These are 8 bit, BUS
|
| 1005 |
|
|
only (the JP0 jumper is hardwired), and BNC only.
|
| 1006 |
|
|
|
| 1007 |
|
|
This is a LCS-8830-T made by SMC, I think ('SMC' only appears on one PLCC,
|
| 1008 |
|
|
nowhere else, not even on the few xeroxed sheets from the manual).

PDI507 (8-bit card)
|
| 1113 |
|
|
--------------------
|
| 1114 |
|
|
- from Mark Rejhon (slight modifications by Avery)
|
| 1115 |
|
|
- Avery's note: I think PDI508 cards (but definitely NOT PDI508Plus cards)
|
| 1116 |
|
|
are mostly the same as this. PDI508Plus cards appear to be mainly
|
| 1117 |
|
|
software-configured.
|
| 1118 |
|
|
|
| 1119 |
|
|
Jumpers:
|
| 1120 |
|
|
There is a jumper array at the bottom of the card, near the edge
|
| 1121 |
|
|
connector. This array is labelled J1. They control the IRQs and
|
| 1122 |
|
|
something else. Put only one jumper on the IRQ pins.
|
| 1123 |
|
|
|
| 1124 |
|
|
ETS1, ETS2 are for timing on very long distance networks. See the
|
| 1125 |
|
|
more general information near the top of this file.
|
| 1126 |
|
|
|
| 1127 |
|
|
There is a J2 jumper on two pins. A jumper should be put on them,
|
| 1128 |
|
|
since it was already there when I got the card. I don't know what
|
| 1129 |
|
|
this jumper is for though.
|
| 1130 |
|
|
|
| 1131 |
|
|
There is a two-jumper array for J3. I don't know what it is for,
|
| 1132 |
|
|
but there were already two jumpers on it when I got the card. It's
|
| 1133 |
|
|
a six pin grid in a two-by-three fashion. The jumpers were
|
| 1134 |
|
|
configured as follows:

- If using coax cable in a bus topology the J4 jumper must be removed;
|
| 1158 |
|
|
place it on one pin.
|

|
|
|
| 1160 |
|
|
- If using bus topology with twisted pair wiring move the J3
|
| 1161 |
|
|
jumpers so they connect the middle pin and the pins closest to the RJ11
|
| 1162 |
|
|
Connectors. Also the J4 jumper must be removed; place it on one pin of

|
|
J4 jumper for storage.

There is another array of eight DIP switches at the top of the
|
| 1188 |
|
|
card. There are five labelled MS0-MS4 which seem to control the
|
| 1189 |
|
|
memory address, and another three labelled IO0-IO2 which seem to
|
| 1190 |
|
|
control the base I/O address of the card.
|
| 1191 |
|
|
|
| 1192 |
|
|
This was difficult to test by trial and error, and the I/O addresses
|
| 1193 |
|
|
are in a weird order. This was tested by setting the DIP switches,
|
| 1194 |
|
|
rebooting the computer, and attempting to load ARCETHER at various
|
| 1195 |
|
|
addresses (mostly between 0x200 and 0x400). The address that caused
|
| 1196 |
|
|
the red transmit LED to blink, is the one that I thought works.
|
| 1197 |
|
|
|
| 1198 |
|
|
Also, the address 0x3D0 seem to have a special meaning, since the
|
| 1199 |
|
|
ARCETHER packet driver loaded fine, but without the red LED
|
| 1200 |
|
|
blinking. I don't know what 0x3D0 is for though. I recommend using
|
| 1201 |
|
|
an address of 0x300 since Windows may not like addresses below
|
| 1202 |
|
|
0x300.

|
|
The memory switches set a reserved address space of 0x1000 bytes
|
| 1217 |
|
|
(0x100 segment units, or 4k). For example if I set an address of
|
| 1218 |
|
|
0xD000, it will use up addresses 0xD000 to 0xD100.
|
| 1219 |
|
|
|
| 1220 |
|
|
The memory switches were tested by booting using QEMM386 stealth,
|
| 1221 |
|
|
and using LOADHI to see what address automatically became excluded
|
| 1222 |
|
|
from the upper memory regions, and then attempting to load ARCETHER
|
| 1223 |
|
|
using these addresses.
|
| 1224 |
|
|
|
| 1225 |
|
|
I recommend using an arcnet memory address of 0xD000, and putting
|
| 1226 |
|
|
the EMS page frame at 0xC000 while using QEMM stealth mode. That
|
| 1227 |
|
|
way, you get contiguous high memory from 0xD100 almost all the way
|
| 1228 |
|
|
the end of the megabyte.
|
| 1229 |
|
|
|
| 1230 |
|
|
Memory Switch 0 (MS0) didn't seem to work properly when set to OFF
|
| 1231 |
|
|
on my card. It could be malfunctioning on my card. Experiment with
|
| 1232 |
|
|
it ON first, and if it doesn't work, set it to OFF. (It may be a
|
| 1233 |
|
|
modifier for the 0x200 bit?)

Setting the Node ID
|
| 1336 |
|
|
-------------------
|
| 1337 |
|
|
|
| 1338 |
|
|
The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
|
| 1339 |
|
|
to the network must have an unique node ID which must be different from 0.
|
| 1340 |
|
|
Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
|
| 1341 |
|
|
|
| 1342 |
|
|
The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
|
| 1343 |
|
|
These values are:

|
|
|

|
|
The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
|
| 1399 |
|
|
located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
|
| 1400 |
|
|
memory base + 8K or memory base + 0x2000.
|
| 1401 |
|
|
Switches 1-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.

|
|
Note: Since the switches 1 and 2 are always set to ON it may be possible
|
| 1418 |
|
|
that they can be used to add an offset of 2K, 4K or 6K to the base
|
| 1419 |
|
|
address, but this feature is not documented in the manual and I
|
| 1420 |

Setting the Node ID
|
| 1546 |
|
|
-------------------
|
| 1547 |
|
|
|
| 1548 |
|
|
The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
|
| 1549 |
|
|
to the network must have an unique node ID which must be different from 0.
|
| 1550 |
|
|
Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
|
| 1551 |
|
|
|
| 1552 |
|
|
The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
|
| 1553 |
|
|
These values are:
|
| 1554 |
|
|
|

It seems that the bits are considered in reverse order. Also, you must
|
| 1708 |
|
|
observe that some of those addresses are unusual and I didn't probe them; I
|
| 1709 |
|
|
used a memory dump in DOS to identify them. For the 00000 configuration and
|
| 1710 |
|
|
some others that I didn't write here the card seems to conflict with the
|
| 1711 |
|
|
video card (an S3 GENDAC). I leave the full decoding of those addresses to
|
| 1712 |
|
|
you.

|
|
the existing arcnet-hardware file.
|
| 1740 |
|
|
|
| 1741 |
|
|
This is a 90C26 based card. Its configuration seems similar to
|
| 1742 |
|
|
the SMC PC100, but has some additional jumpers I don't know.

Setting the Node ID
|

|
|
-------------------
|
| 1811 |
|
|
|
| 1812 |
|
|
The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
|
| 1813 |
|
|
to the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0.
|
| 1814 |
|
|
Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
|
| 1815 |
|
|
|
| 1816 |
|
|
Setting one of the switches to OFF means "1", ON means "0".
|
| 1817 |
|
|
|
| 1818 |
|
|
The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
|
| 1819 |
|
|
These values are:

|
|
----------------------------
|
| 1837 |
|
|
|
| 1838 |
|
|
The switches 1 to 6 of switch block SW1 are used to select one
|
| 1839 |
|
|
of 32 possible I/O Base addresses using the following tables

|
|
The I/O address is sum of all switches set to "1". Remember that
|
| 1852 |
|
|
the I/O address space bellow 0x200 is RESERVED for mainboard, so
|
| 1853 |
|
|
switch 1 should be ALWAYS SET TO OFF.

Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
|
| 1857 |
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
| 1858 |
|
|
|
| 1859 |
|
|
The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
|
| 1860 |
|
|
located in any of sixteen positions. However, the addresses below
|
| 1861 |
|
|
A0000 are likely to cause system hang because there's main RAM.
|
| 1862 |
|
|
|
| 1863 |
|
|
Jumpers 7-10 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.

I know nothing about these. I just guess that J16&J17 are timeout
|
| 1896 |
|
|
jumpers and maybe one of J18-J21 selects ROM. Also J6-J10 and
|
| 1897 |
|
|
J11-J15 are connecting IRQ2-7 to some pins on the UFSs. I can't
|
| 1898 |
|

guess the purpose.

This is another SMC 90C65 based arcnet card. I couldn't identify the
|
| 1909 |
|
|
manufacturer, but it might be DataPoint, because the card has the
|
| 1910 |
|
|
original arcNet logo in its upper right corner.

Setting the Node ID
|
| 2092 |
|
|
-------------------
|
| 2093 |
|
|
|
| 2094 |
|
|
The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached to
|
| 2095 |
|
|
the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0. Switch 1 (ID0)
|
| 2096 |
|
|
serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
|
| 2097 |
|
|
|
| 2098 |
|
|
Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
|
| 2099 |
|
|
|
| 2100 |
|
|
The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
|
| 2101 |
|
|
These values are:

|
|
----------------------------
|
| 2116 |
|
|
|
| 2117 |
|
|
The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
|
| 2118 |
|
|
of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table:

|
| 2135 |
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
| 2136 |
|
|
|
| 2137 |
|
|
The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
|
| 2138 |
|
|
located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
|
| 2139 |
|
|
memory base + 0x2000.
|
| 2140 |
|
|
Jumpers 3-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.

There is a DIP-switch with 8 switches, used to set the shared memory address
|
| 2255 |
|
|
to be used. The first 6 switches set the address, the 7th doesn't have any
|
| 2256 |
|
|
function, and the 8th switch is used to select "compatible" or "enhanced".
|
| 2257 |
|
|
When I got my two cards, one of them had this switch set to "enhanced". That
|
| 2258 |
|
|
card didn't work at all, it wasn't even recognized by the driver. The other
|
| 2259 |
|
|
card had this switch set to "compatible" and it behaved absolutely normally. I
|
| 2260 |
|
|
guess that the switch on one of the cards, must have been changed accidently
|
| 2261 |
|
|
when the card was taken out of its former host. The question remains
|
| 2262 |
|
|
unanswered, what is the purpose of the "enhanced" position?
|
| 2263 |
|
|
|
| 2264 |
|
|
[Avery's note: "enhanced" probably either disables shared memory (use IO
|
| 2265 |
|
|
ports instead) or disables IO ports (use memory addresses instead). This
|
| 2266 |
|
|
varies by the type of card involved. I fail to see how either of these
|
| 2267 |
|
|
enhance anything. Send me more detailed information about this mode, or
|
| 2268 |
|
|
just use "compatible" mode instead.]

|
|
[Avery's note: these don't work with my driver for some reason. These cards
|
| 2279 |
|
|
SEEM to have settings similar to the PDI508Plus, which is
|
| 2280 |
|
|
software-configured and doesn't work with my driver either. The "Waterloo
|
| 2281 |
|
|
chip" is a boot PROM, probably designed specifically for the University of
|
| 2282 |
|
|
Waterloo. If you have any further information about this card, please
|
| 2283 |
|
|
e-mail me.]
|
| 2284 |
|
|
|
| 2285 |
|
|
The probe has not been able to detect the card on any of the J2 settings,
|
| 2286 |
|
|
and I tried them again with the "Waterloo" chip removed.

|
|
-------------------
|
| 2438 |
|
|
|
| 2439 |
|
|
The eight switches in group SW1 are used to set the node ID.
|
| 2440 |
|
|
Each node attached to the network must have an unique node ID which
|
| 2441 |
|
|
must be different from 0.
|
| 2442 |
|
|
Switch 8 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
|
| 2443 |
|
|
|
| 2444 |
|
|
The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
|
| 2445 |
|
|
These values are:

|
| 2497 |
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
| 2498 |
|
|
|

|
|
The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
|
| 2500 |
|
|
16K block can be located in any of eight positions.
|
| 2501 |
|
|
Switches 4-6 of switch group SW2 select the Base of the 16K block.
|
| 2502 |
|
|
Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
|
| 2503 |
|
|
positions, determined by the offset, switches 7 and 8 of group SW2.

|
|
| 2562 |
|
|
The two jumpers labeled ET1 and ET2 are used to determine the timeout
|
| 2563 |
|
|
parameters (respons and reconfiguration time). Every node in a network
|
| 2564 |
|
|
must be set to the same timeout values.

NONAME 16-BIT ARCNET
|
| 2577 |
|
|
====================
|
| 2578 |
|
|
|
| 2579 |
|
|
The manual of my 8-Bit NONAME ARCnet Card contains another description
|
| 2580 |
|
|
of a 16-Bit Coax / Twisted Pair Card. This description is incomplete,
|
| 2581 |
|
|
because there are missing two pages in the manual booklet. (The table
|
| 2582 |
|
|
of contents reports pages ... 2-9, 2-11, 2-12, 3-1, ... but inside
|
| 2583 |
|
|
the booklet there is a different way of counting ... 2-9, 2-10, A-1,
|
| 2584 |
|
|
(empty page), 3-1, ..., 3-18, A-1 (again), A-2)
|
| 2585 |
|
|
Also the picture of the board layout is not as good as the picture of
|
| 2586 |
|
|
8-Bit card, because there isn't any letter like "SW1" written to the
|
| 2587 |
|
|
picture.
|
| 2588 |
|
|
Should somebody have such a board, please feel free to complete this
|
| 2589 |
|
|
description or to send a mail to me!

The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
|
| 2689 |
|
|
16K block can be located in any of eight positions.
|
| 2690 |
|
|
Switches 6-8 of switch group SW1 select the Base of the 16K block.
|
| 2691 |
|
|
Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
|
| 2692 |
|
|
positions, determined by the offset, switches 4 and 5 of group SW1.

8-bit cards ("Made in Taiwan R.O.C.")

|
| 2755 |
|
|
- from Vojtech Pavlik
|
| 2756 |
|
|
|
| 2757 |
|
|
I have named this ARCnet card "NONAME", since I got only the card with
|
| 2758 |
|
|
no manual at all and the only text identifying the manufacturer is
|
| 2759 |
|
|
"MADE IN TAIWAN R.O.C" printed on the card.

switches.
|

|
|
Setting the jumpers to ON means connecting the upper two pins, off the bottom
|

Setting the Node ID
|
| 2805 |
|
|
-------------------
|
| 2806 |
|
|
|
| 2807 |
|
|
The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
|
| 2808 |
|
|
to the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0.
|
| 2809 |
|
|
Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
|
| 2810 |
|
|
|
| 2811 |
|
|
Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
|
| 2812 |
|
|
|
| 2813 |
|
|
The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
|
| 2814 |
|
|
These values are:

|
|
The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
|
| 2870 |
|
|
located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
|
| 2871 |
|
|
memory base + 0x2000.
|
| 2872 |
|
|
Jumpers 3-5 of jumper block SW1 select the Memory Base address.

SW1: Timeouts, Interrupt and ROM
|
| 2965 |
|
|
---------------------------------
|
| 2966 |
|
|
|
| 2967 |
|
|
To select a hardware interrupt level set one (only one!) of the dip switches
|
| 2968 |
|
|
up (on) SW1...(switches 1-5)
|
| 2969 |
|
|
IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7, IRQ2. The Manufacturer's default is IRQ2.
|
| 2970 |
|
|
|
| 2971 |
|
|
The switches on SW1 labeled EXT1 (switch 6) and EXT2 (switch 7)
|
| 2972 |
|
|
are used to determine the timeout parameters. These two dip switches
|
| 2973 |
|
|
are normally left off (down).
|
| 2974 |
|
|
|
| 2975 |
|
|
To enable the 8K Boot PROM position SW1 switch 8 on (UP) labeled ROM.
|
| 2976 |

Setting the I/O Base Address
|
| 2980 |
|
|
----------------------------
|
| 2981 |
|
|
|
| 2982 |
|
|
The last three switches in switch group SW2 are used to select one
|
| 2983 |
|
|
of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table
|
| 2984 |
|
|

Setting the Base Memory Address (RAM & ROM)
|
| 3000 |
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
| 3001 |
|
|
|
| 3002 |
|
|
The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
|
| 3003 |
|
|
16K block can be located in any of eight positions.
|
| 3004 |
|
|
Switches 1-3 of switch group SW2 select the Base of the 16K block.
|
| 3005 |
|
|
(0 = DOWN, 1 = UP)
|
| 3006 |
|
|
I could, however, only verify two settings...

Setting the Node ID
|
| 3022 |
|
|
-------------------
|
| 3023 |
|
|
|
| 3024 |
|
|
The eight switches in group SW3 are used to set the node ID.
|
| 3025 |
|
|
Each node attached to the network must have an unique node ID which
|
| 3026 |
|
|
must be different from 0.
|
| 3027 |
|
|
Switch 1 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
|
| 3028 |
|
|
switches in the DOWN position are OFF (0) and in the UP position are ON (1)
|
| 3029 |
|
|
|
| 3030 |
|
|
The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
|
| 3031 |
|
|
These values are:

| 3032 |

|
