Packet Driver Messages

PCNTPK-DOS-1 The command syntax is PCNTPK [-n] [-d] [-w]
<INT=packet_int_no>
[IRQ=int_no] [IOADDR=io_addr] [DMA=dma_no] [BUSTYPE=bus]
[DMAROTATE] [TP] [LED0=xx] [BUSTYPE=bus] [LED0=xx]
[LED2=xx] [LED3=xx]

Explanation: The driver command was not entered correctly.
Action: If you entered the command from the command line, enter the command with the correct syntax. If the command is in the AUTOEXEC.NET file, edit the file to correct the syntax. The only parameters that should be included are PCNTPK and BUSTYPE=PCI1.

PCNTPK-DOS-2 Unable to reset the PCnet device.
Explanation: The software could not reset the Ethernet controller.
Action: Perform the following steps:

1.  Verify that the  Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
2.  If the problem persists, go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the  diagnostic utility.

PCNTPK-DOS-3 Unable to initialize the PCnet device.
Explanation: The software could not initialize the Ethernet controller.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that  the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
2.  Check the interrupt settings in the Configuration/Setup utility programs.  For more information, go to 'PCI Bus Control'.
3.  If the problem persists, go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the  diagnostic utility.

.****
PCNTPK-DOS-5 There is already a packet driver at xxxx.
Explanation: The driver is already loaded at this memory location. It cannot be loaded a second time at the same location.
Action: Do not reload the driver. If you want to load the driver at a different memory location, specify another software interrupt address on the INT parameter.

PCNTPK-DOS-6 <IRQ=int_no> should be between 0 and 15 inclusive.
Explanation: The specified IRQ is out of range for the Ethernet controller.
Action: Use valid IRQ values.

PCNTPK-DOS-7 Packet driver failed to initialize the board.
Explanation: The board initialization failed.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
2.  Go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the diagnostic utility.

PCNTPK-DOS-8 <INT=packet_int_no> should be in the range 0x60 to 0x80.
Explanation: The specified software interrupt number is out of the allowable range.
Action: Specify a valid value for the INT parameter.

PCNTPK-DOS-12 PCI device IRQ number mismatch.
Explanation: The specified IRQ number does not match with the IRQ number assigned by the PCI BIOS.
Action: Remove the IRQ setting.

PCNTPK-15 The device was not found.
Explanation: The driver cannot find an Ethernet controller.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that  the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
2.  If the problem persists, go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the  diagnostic utility.

PCNTPK-DOS-18 PCI scan specified, device not found.
Explanation: The driver cannot locate the Ethernet controller on the PCI bus.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that  the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
2.  If the problem persists, go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the  diagnostic utility.

Packet driver is at segment xxxx.
Explanation: The memory address where the packet driver is loaded is xxxx.
Action:None.

Packet interrupt number xxxx.
Explanation: The interrupt number used by the packet driver is xxxx.
Action: None.

My Ethernet address is xxxxxxxxxxxx.
Explanation: The Ethernet address of this station is xxxxxxxxxxxx.
Action: None.

My ARCnet address is xxxx.
Explanation: The ARCnet address of this station is xxxx.
Action: None.
