16Because so many people (myself included) seem to have obtained ARCnet cards
17without manuals, this file contains a quick introduction to ARCnet hardware,
18some cabling tips, and a listing of all jumper settings I can find. If you
19have any settings for your particular card, and/or any other information you
20have, do not hesitate to :ref:`email to netdev <arcnet-netdev>`.

23Introduction to ARCnet
24======================
25
26ARCnet is a network type which works in a way similar to popular Ethernet
27networks but which is also different in some very important ways.
28
29First of all, you can get ARCnet cards in at least two speeds: 2.5 Mbps
30(slower than Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (faster than normal Ethernet). In fact,
31there are others as well, but these are less common. The different hardware
32types, as far as I'm aware, are not compatible and so you cannot wire a
33100 Mbps card to a 2.5 Mbps card, and so on. From what I hear, my driver does
34work with 100 Mbps cards, but I haven't been able to verify this myself,
35since I only have the 2.5 Mbps variety. It is probably not going to saturate
36your 100 Mbps card. Stop complaining. :)
37
38You also cannot connect an ARCnet card to any kind of Ethernet card and
39expect it to work.
40
41There are two "types" of ARCnet - STAR topology and BUS topology. This
42refers to how the cards are meant to be wired together. According to most
43available documentation, you can only connect STAR cards to STAR cards and
44BUS cards to BUS cards. That makes sense, right? Well, it's not quite
45true; see below under "Cabling."
46
47Once you get past these little stumbling blocks, ARCnet is actually quite a
48well-designed standard. It uses something called "modified token passing"
49which makes it completely incompatible with so-called "Token Ring" cards,
50but which makes transfers much more reliable than Ethernet does. In fact,
51ARCnet will guarantee that a packet arrives safely at the destination, and
52even if it can't possibly be delivered properly (ie. because of a cable
53break, or because the destination computer does not exist) it will at least
54tell the sender about it.
55
56Because of the carefully defined action of the "token", it will always make
57a pass around the "ring" within a maximum length of time. This makes it
58useful for realtime networks.
59
60In addition, all known ARCnet cards have an (almost) identical programming
61interface. This means that with one ARCnet driver you can support any
62card, whereas with Ethernet each manufacturer uses what is sometimes a
63completely different programming interface, leading to a lot of different,
64sometimes very similar, Ethernet drivers. Of course, always using the same
65programming interface also means that when high-performance hardware
66facilities like PCI bus mastering DMA appear, it's hard to take advantage of
67them. Let's not go into that.
68
69One thing that makes ARCnet cards difficult to program for, however, is the
70limit on their packet sizes; standard ARCnet can only send packets that are
71up to 508 bytes in length. This is smaller than the Internet "bare minimum"
72of 576 bytes, let alone the Ethernet MTU of 1500. To compensate, an extra
73level of encapsulation is defined by RFC1201, which I call "packet
74splitting," that allows "virtual packets" to grow as large as 64K each,
75although they are generally kept down to the Ethernet-style 1500 bytes.

83Cabling ARCnet Networks
84=======================
85
86This section was rewritten by
87
88 Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>
89
90using information from several people, including:
91
92 - Avery Pennraun <apenwarr@worldvisions.ca>
93 - Stephen A. Wood <saw@hallc1.cebaf.gov>
94 - John Paul Morrison <jmorriso@bogomips.ee.ubc.ca>
95 - Joachim Koenig <jojo@repas.de>
96
97and Avery touched it up a bit, at Vojtech's request.
98
99ARCnet (the classic 2.5 Mbps version) can be connected by two different
100types of cabling: coax and twisted pair. The other ARCnet-type networks
101(100 Mbps TCNS and 320 kbps - 32 Mbps ARCnet Plus) use different types of
102cabling (Type1, Fiber, C1, C4, C5).
103
104For a coax network, you "should" use 93 Ohm RG-62 cable. But other cables
105also work fine, because ARCnet is a very stable network. I personally use 75
106Ohm TV antenna cable.
107
108Cards for coax cabling are shipped in two different variants: for BUS and
109STAR network topologies. They are mostly the same. The only difference
110lies in the hybrid chip installed. BUS cards use high impedance output,
111while STAR use low impedance. Low impedance card (STAR) is electrically
112equal to a high impedance one with a terminator installed.
113
114Usually, the ARCnet networks are built up from STAR cards and hubs. There
115are two types of hubs - active and passive. Passive hubs are small boxes
116with four BNC connectors containing four 47 Ohm resistors::
117
118 | | wires
119 R + junction
120 -R-+-R- R 47 Ohm resistors
121 R
122 |
123
124The shielding is connected together. Active hubs are much more complicated;
125they are powered and contain electronics to amplify the signal and send it
126to other segments of the net. They usually have eight connectors. Active
127hubs come in two variants - dumb and smart. The dumb variant just
128amplifies, but the smart one decodes to digital and encodes back all packets
129coming through. This is much better if you have several hubs in the net,
130since many dumb active hubs may worsen the signal quality.
131
132And now to the cabling. What you can connect together:
133
1341. A card to a card. This is the simplest way of creating a 2-computer
135 network.
136
1372. A card to a passive hub. Remember that all unused connectors on the hub
138 must be properly terminated with 93 Ohm (or something else if you don't
139 have the right ones) terminators.
140
141 (Avery's note: oops, I didn't know that. Mine (TV cable) works
142 anyway, though.)
143
1443. A card to an active hub. Here is no need to terminate the unused
145 connectors except some kind of aesthetic feeling. But, there may not be
146 more than eleven active hubs between any two computers. That of course
147 doesn't limit the number of active hubs on the network.
148
1494. An active hub to another.
150
1515. An active hub to passive hub.
152
153Remember that you cannot connect two passive hubs together. The power loss
154implied by such a connection is too high for the net to operate reliably.
155
156An example of a typical ARCnet network::
157
158 R S - STAR type card
159 S------H--------A-------S R - Terminator
160 | | H - Hub
161 | | A - Active hub
162 | S----H----S
163 S |
164 |
165 S
166
167The BUS topology is very similar to the one used by Ethernet. The only
168difference is in cable and terminators: they should be 93 Ohm. Ethernet
169uses 50 Ohm impedance. You use T connectors to put the computers on a single
170line of cable, the bus. You have to put terminators at both ends of the
171cable. A typical BUS ARCnet network looks like::
172
173 RT----T------T------T------T------TR
174 B B B B B B
175
176 B - BUS type card
177 R - Terminator
178 T - T connector
179
180But that is not all! The two types can be connected together. According to
181the official documentation the only way of connecting them is using an active
182hub::
183
184 A------T------T------TR
185 | B B B
186 S---H---S
187 |
188 S
189
190The official docs also state that you can use STAR cards at the ends of
191BUS network in place of a BUS card and a terminator::
192
193 S------T------T------S
194 B B
195
196But, according to my own experiments, you can simply hang a BUS type card
197anywhere in middle of a cable in a STAR topology network. And more - you
198can use the bus card in place of any star card if you use a terminator. Then
199you can build very complicated networks fulfilling all your needs! An
200example::
201
202 S
203 |
204 RT------T-------T------H------S
205 B B B |
206 | R
207 S------A------T-------T-------A-------H------TR
208 | B B | | B
209 | S BT |

211 S------H---A----S | |
212 | | S------T----H---S |
213 S S B R S
214
215A basically different cabling scheme is used with Twisted Pair cabling. Each
216of the TP cards has two RJ (phone-cord style) connectors. The cards are
217then daisy-chained together using a cable connecting every two neighboring
218cards. The ends are terminated with RJ 93 Ohm terminators which plug into
219the empty connectors of cards on the ends of the chain. An example::
220
221 ___________ ___________
222 _R_|_ _|_|_ _|_R_
223 | | | | | |
224 |Card | |Card | |Card |
225 |_____| |_____| |_____|
226
227
228There are also hubs for the TP topology. There is nothing difficult
229involved in using them; you just connect a TP chain to a hub on any end or
230even at both. This way you can create almost any network configuration.
231The maximum of 11 hubs between any two computers on the net applies here as
232well. An example::
233
234 RP-------P--------P--------H-----P------P-----PR
235 |
236 RP-----H--------P--------H-----P------PR
237 | |
238 PR PR
239
240 R - RJ Terminator
241 P - TP Card
242 H - TP Hub
243
244Like any network, ARCnet has a limited cable length. These are the maximum
245cable lengths between two active ends (an active end being an active hub or
246a STAR card).
247
248 ========== ======= ===========
249 RG-62 93 Ohm up to 650 m
250 RG-59/U 75 Ohm up to 457 m
251 RG-11/U 75 Ohm up to 533 m
252 IBM Type 1 150 Ohm up to 200 m
253 IBM Type 3 100 Ohm up to 100 m
254 ========== ======= ===========
255
256The maximum length of all cables connected to a passive hub is limited to 65
257meters for RG-62 cabling; less for others. You can see that using passive
258hubs in a large network is a bad idea. The maximum length of a single "BUS
259Trunk" is about 300 meters for RG-62. The maximum distance between the two
260most distant points of the net is limited to 3000 meters. The maximum length
261of a TP cable between two cards/hubs is 650 meters.
262
263
264Setting the Jumpers
265===================
266
267All ARCnet cards should have a total of four or five different settings:
268
269 - the I/O address: this is the "port" your ARCnet card is on. Probed
270 values in the Linux ARCnet driver are only from 0x200 through 0x3F0. (If
271 your card has additional ones, which is possible, please tell me.) This
272 should not be the same as any other device on your system. According to
273 a doc I got from Novell, MS Windows prefers values of 0x300 or more,
274 eating net connections on my system (at least) otherwise. My guess is
275 this may be because, if your card is at 0x2E0, probing for a serial port
276 at 0x2E8 will reset the card and probably mess things up royally.
277
278 - Avery's favourite: 0x300.
279
280 - the IRQ: on 8-bit cards, it might be 2 (9), 3, 4, 5, or 7.
281 on 16-bit cards, it might be 2 (9), 3, 4, 5, 7, or 10-15.
282
283 Make sure this is different from any other card on your system. Note
284 that IRQ2 is the same as IRQ9, as far as Linux is concerned. You can
285 "cat /proc/interrupts" for a somewhat complete list of which ones are in
286 use at any given time. Here is a list of common usages from Vojtech
287 Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>:
288
289 ("Not on bus" means there is no way for a card to generate this
290 interrupt)
291
292 ====== =========================================================
293 IRQ 0 Timer 0 (Not on bus)
294 IRQ 1 Keyboard (Not on bus)
295 IRQ 2 IRQ Controller 2 (Not on bus, nor does interrupt the CPU)
296 IRQ 3 COM2
297 IRQ 4 COM1
298 IRQ 5 FREE (LPT2 if you have it; sometimes COM3; maybe PLIP)
299 IRQ 6 Floppy disk controller
300 IRQ 7 FREE (LPT1 if you don't use the polling driver; PLIP)
301 IRQ 8 Realtime Clock Interrupt (Not on bus)
302 IRQ 9 FREE (VGA vertical sync interrupt if enabled)
303 IRQ 10 FREE
304 IRQ 11 FREE
305 IRQ 12 FREE
306 IRQ 13 Numeric Coprocessor (Not on bus)
307 IRQ 14 Fixed Disk Controller
308 IRQ 15 FREE (Fixed Disk Controller 2 if you have it)
309 ====== =========================================================
310
311
312 .. note::
313
314 IRQ 9 is used on some video cards for the "vertical retrace"
315 interrupt. This interrupt would have been handy for things like
316 video games, as it occurs exactly once per screen refresh, but
317 unfortunately IBM cancelled this feature starting with the original
318 VGA and thus many VGA/SVGA cards do not support it. For this
319 reason, no modern software uses this interrupt and it can almost
320 always be safely disabled, if your video card supports it at all.
321
322 If your card for some reason CANNOT disable this IRQ (usually there
323 is a jumper), one solution would be to clip the printed circuit
324 contact on the board: it's the fourth contact from the left on the
325 back side. I take no responsibility if you try this.
326
327 - Avery's favourite: IRQ2 (actually IRQ9). Watch that VGA, though.
328
329 - the memory address: Unlike most cards, ARCnets use "shared memory" for
330 copying buffers around. Make SURE it doesn't conflict with any other
331 used memory in your system!
332
333 ::
334
335 A0000 - VGA graphics memory (ok if you don't have VGA)
336 B0000 - Monochrome text mode
337 C0000 \ One of these is your VGA BIOS - usually C0000.
338 E0000 /
339 F0000 - System BIOS
340
341 Anything less than 0xA0000 is, well, a BAD idea since it isn't above
342 640k.
343
344 - Avery's favourite: 0xD0000
345
346 - the station address: Every ARCnet card has its own "unique" network
347 address from 0 to 255. Unlike Ethernet, you can set this address
348 yourself with a jumper or switch (or on some cards, with special
349 software). Since it's only 8 bits, you can only have 254 ARCnet cards
350 on a network. DON'T use 0 or 255, since these are reserved (although
351 neat stuff will probably happen if you DO use them). By the way, if you
352 haven't already guessed, don't set this the same as any other ARCnet on
353 your network!
354
355 - Avery's favourite: 3 and 4. Not that it matters.
356
357 - There may be ETS1 and ETS2 settings. These may or may not make a
358 difference on your card (many manuals call them "reserved"), but are
359 used to change the delays used when powering up a computer on the
360 network. This is only necessary when wiring VERY long range ARCnet
361 networks, on the order of 4km or so; in any case, the only real
362 requirement here is that all cards on the network with ETS1 and ETS2
363 jumpers have them in the same position. Chris Hindy <chrish@io.org>
364 sent in a chart with actual values for this:
365
366 ======= ======= =============== ====================
367 ET1 ET2 Response Time Reconfiguration Time
368 ======= ======= =============== ====================
369 open open 74.7us 840us
370 open closed 283.4us 1680us
371 closed open 561.8us 1680us
372 closed closed 1118.6us 1680us
373 ======= ======= =============== ====================
374
375 Make sure you set ETS1 and ETS2 to the SAME VALUE for all cards on your
376 network.
377
378Also, on many cards (not mine, though) there are red and green LED's.
379Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz> tells me this is what they mean:
380
381 =============== =============== =====================================
382 GREEN RED Status
383 =============== =============== =====================================
384 OFF OFF Power off
385 OFF Short flashes Cabling problems (broken cable or not
386 terminated)
387 OFF (short) ON Card init
388 ON ON Normal state - everything OK, nothing
389 happens
390 ON Long flashes Data transfer
391 ON OFF Never happens (maybe when wrong ID)
392 =============== =============== =====================================
393
394
395The following is all the specific information people have sent me about
396their own particular ARCnet cards. It is officially a mess, and contains
397huge amounts of duplicated information. I have no time to fix it. If you
398want to, PLEASE DO! Just send me a 'diff -u' of all your changes.
399
400The model # is listed right above specifics for that card, so you should be
401able to use your text viewer's "search" function to find the entry you want.
402If you don't KNOW what kind of card you have, try looking through the
403various diagrams to see if you can tell.
404
405If your model isn't listed and/or has different settings, PLEASE PLEASE
406tell me. I had to figure mine out without the manual, and it WASN'T FUN!
407
408Even if your ARCnet model isn't listed, but has the same jumpers as another
409model that is, please e-mail me to say so.

480 PC500/600 have several extra, undocumented pins though. (?)
481 - PC110 settings were verified by Stephen A. Wood <saw@cebaf.gov>
482 - Also, the JP- and S-numbers probably don't match your card exactly. Try
483 to find jumpers/switches with the same number of settings - it's
484 probably more reliable.

579The PC130E is an enhanced version of the PC130 board, is equipped with a
580standard BNC female connector for connection to RG-62/U coax cable.
581Since this board is designed both for point-to-point connection in star
582networks and for connection to bus networks, it is downwardly compatible
583with all the other standard boards designed for coax networks (that is,
584the PC120, PC110 and PC100 star topology boards and the PC220, PC210 and
585PC200 bus topology boards).
586
587The PC270E is an enhanced version of the PC260 board, is equipped with two
588modular RJ11-type jacks for connection to twisted pair wiring.
589It can be used in a star or a daisy-chained network.

636
637
638Setting the Node ID
639^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
640
641The eight switches in group S2 are used to set the node ID.
642These switches work in a way similar to the PC100-series cards; see that
643entry for more information.
644
645
646Setting the I/O Base Address
647^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
648
649The first three switches in switch group S1 are used to select one
650of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
651
652
653 Switch | Hex I/O
654 1 2 3 | Address
655 -------|--------
656 0 0 0 | 260

662 1 1 0 | 380
663 1 1 1 | 3E0
664
665
666Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
667^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
668
669The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
67016K block can be located in any of eight positions.
671Switches 4-6 of switch group S1 select the Base of the 16K block.
672Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
673positions, determined by the offset, switches 7 and 8 of group S1.

720 *) To enable the 8K Boot PROM install the jumper ROM.
721 The default is jumper ROM not installed.
722
723
724Setting the Timeouts and Interrupt
725^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
726
727The jumpers labeled EXT1 and EXT2 are used to determine the timeout
728parameters. These two jumpers are normally left open.
729
730To select a hardware interrupt level set one (only one!) of the jumpers
731IRQ2, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7. The Manufacturer's default is IRQ2.
732
733
734Configuring the PC130E for Star or Bus Topology
735^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
736
737The single jumper labeled STAR is used to configure the PC130E board for
738star or bus topology.
739When the jumper is installed, the board may be used in a star network, when
740it is removed, the board can be used in a bus topology.
741
742
743Diagnostic LEDs
744^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
745
746Two diagnostic LEDs are visible on the rear bracket of the board.
747The green LED monitors the network activity: the red one shows the
748board activity::
749
750 Green | Status Red | Status
751 -------|------------------- ---------|-------------------
752 on | normal activity flash/on | data transfer
753 blink | reconfiguration off | no data transfer;
754 off | defective board or | incorrect memory or
755 | node ID is zero | I/O address
756

758PC500/PC550 Longboard (16-bit cards)
759------------------------------------
760
761 - from Juergen Seifert <seifert@htwm.de>
762
763
764 .. note::
765
766 There is another Version of the PC500 called Short Version, which
767 is different in hard- and software! The most important differences
768 are:
769
770 - The long board has no Shared memory.
771 - On the long board the selection of the interrupt is done by binary
772 coded switch, on the short board directly by jumper.
773
774[Avery's note: pay special attention to that: the long board HAS NO SHARED
775MEMORY. This means the current Linux-ARCnet driver can't use these cards.
776I have obtained a PC500Longboard and will be doing some experiments on it in
777the future, but don't hold your breath. Thanks again to Juergen Seifert for
778his advice about this!]

843Setting one of the switches to Off/Open means "1", On/Closed means "0".
844
845
846Setting the Node ID
847^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
848
849The eight switches in group SW3 are used to set the node ID. Each node
850attached to the network must have an unique node ID which must be
851different from 0.
852Switch 1 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
853
854The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
855These values are::
856
857 Switch | Value
858 -------|-------
859 1 | 1
860 2 | 2
861 3 | 4
862 4 | 8
863 5 | 16
864 6 | 32

885
886
887Setting the I/O Base Address
888^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
889
890The first six switches in switch group SW1 are used to select one
891of 32 possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
892
893 Switch | Hex I/O
894 6 5 4 3 2 1 | Address
895 -------------|--------
896 0 1 0 0 0 0 | 200

928
929
930Setting the Interrupt
931^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
932
933Switches seven through ten of switch group SW1 are used to select the
934interrupt level. The interrupt level is binary coded, so selections
935from 0 to 15 would be possible, but only the following eight values will
936be supported: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12.
937
938::
939
940 Switch | IRQ
941 10 9 8 7 |
942 ---------|--------
943 0 0 1 1 | 3
944 0 1 0 0 | 4
945 0 1 0 1 | 5
946 0 1 1 1 | 7
947 1 0 0 1 | 9 (=2) (default)
948 1 0 1 0 | 10
949 1 0 1 1 | 11
950 1 1 0 0 | 12
951
952
953Setting the Timeouts
954^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
955
956The two jumpers JP2 (1-4) are used to determine the timeout parameters.
957These two jumpers are normally left open.
958Refer to the COM9026 Data Sheet for alternate configurations.
959
960
961Configuring the PC500 for Star or Bus Topology
962^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
963
964The single jumper labeled JP6 is used to configure the PC500 board for
965star or bus topology.
966When the jumper is installed, the board may be used in a star network, when
967it is removed, the board can be used in a bus topology.
968
969
970Diagnostic LEDs
971^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
972
973Two diagnostic LEDs are visible on the rear bracket of the board.
974The green LED monitors the network activity: the red one shows the
975board activity::
976
977 Green | Status Red | Status
978 -------|------------------- ---------|-------------------
979 on | normal activity flash/on | data transfer
980 blink | reconfiguration off | no data transfer;
981 off | defective board or | incorrect memory or
982 | node ID is zero | I/O address

985PC710 (8-bit card)
986------------------
987
988 - from J.S. van Oosten <jvoosten@compiler.tdcnet.nl>
989
990Note: this data is gathered by experimenting and looking at info of other
991cards. However, I'm sure I got 99% of the settings right.
992
993The SMC710 card resembles the PC270 card, but is much more basic (i.e. no
994LEDs, RJ11 jacks, etc.) and 8 bit. Here's a little drawing::

1013 |||||||||||||||||||||
1014
1015The row of jumpers at JP1 actually consists of 8 jumpers, (sometimes
1016labelled) the same as on the PC270, from top to bottom: EXT2, EXT1, ROM,
1017IRQ7, IRQ5, IRQ4, IRQ3, IRQ2 (gee, wonder what they would do? :-) )
1018
1019S1 and S2 perform the same function as on the PC270, only their numbers
1020are swapped (S1 is the nodeaddress, S2 sets IO- and RAM-address).
1021
1022I know it works when connected to a PC110 type ARCnet board.

1031---------------------------------
1032
1033 - from Mathias Katzer <mkatzer@HRZ.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
1034 - Marek Michalkiewicz <marekm@i17linuxb.ists.pwr.wroc.pl> says the
1035 LCS-8830 is slightly different from LCS-8830-T. These are 8 bit, BUS
1036 only (the JP0 jumper is hardwired), and BNC only.
1037
1038This is a LCS-8830-T made by SMC, I think ('SMC' only appears on one PLCC,
1039nowhere else, not even on the few Xeroxed sheets from the manual).

1149PDI507 (8-bit card)
1150--------------------
1151
1152 - from Mark Rejhon <mdrejhon@magi.com> (slight modifications by Avery)
1153 - Avery's note: I think PDI508 cards (but definitely NOT PDI508Plus cards)
1154 are mostly the same as this. PDI508Plus cards appear to be mainly
1155 software-configured.
1156
1157Jumpers:
1158
1159 There is a jumper array at the bottom of the card, near the edge
1160 connector. This array is labelled J1. They control the IRQs and
1161 something else. Put only one jumper on the IRQ pins.
1162
1163 ETS1, ETS2 are for timing on very long distance networks. See the
1164 more general information near the top of this file.
1165
1166 There is a J2 jumper on two pins. A jumper should be put on them,
1167 since it was already there when I got the card. I don't know what
1168 this jumper is for though.
1169
1170 There is a two-jumper array for J3. I don't know what it is for,
1171 but there were already two jumpers on it when I got the card. It's
1172 a six pin grid in a two-by-three fashion. The jumpers were
1173 configured as follows::
1174
1175 .-------.
1176 o | o o |
1177 :-------: ------> Accessible end of card with connectors
1178 o | o o | in this direction ------->

1180
1181Carl de Billy <CARL@carainfo.com> explains J3 and J4:

1195
1196 - If using coax cable in a bus topology the J4 jumper must be removed;
1197 place it on one pin.
1198
1199 - If using bus topology with twisted pair wiring move the J3
1200 jumpers so they connect the middle pin and the pins closest to the RJ11
1201 Connectors. Also the J4 jumper must be removed; place it on one pin of
1202 J4 jumper for storage.
1203
1204 - If using star topology with twisted pair wiring move the J3
1205 jumpers so they connect the middle pin and the pins closest to the RJ11
1206 connectors.
1207
1208
1209DIP Switches:
1210
1211 The DIP switches accessible on the accessible end of the card while
1212 it is installed, is used to set the ARCnet address. There are 8
1213 switches. Use an address from 1 to 254
1214
1215 ========== =========================
1216 Switch No. ARCnet address
1217 12345678
1218 ========== =========================
1219 00000000 FF (Don't use this!)
1220 00000001 FE
1221 00000010 FD
1222 ...
1223 11111101 2
1224 11111110 1
1225 11111111 0 (Don't use this!)
1226 ========== =========================
1227
1228 There is another array of eight DIP switches at the top of the
1229 card. There are five labelled MS0-MS4 which seem to control the
1230 memory address, and another three labelled IO0-IO2 which seem to
1231 control the base I/O address of the card.
1232
1233 This was difficult to test by trial and error, and the I/O addresses
1234 are in a weird order. This was tested by setting the DIP switches,
1235 rebooting the computer, and attempting to load ARCETHER at various
1236 addresses (mostly between 0x200 and 0x400). The address that caused
1237 the red transmit LED to blink, is the one that I thought works.
1238
1239 Also, the address 0x3D0 seem to have a special meaning, since the
1240 ARCETHER packet driver loaded fine, but without the red LED
1241 blinking. I don't know what 0x3D0 is for though. I recommend using
1242 an address of 0x300 since Windows may not like addresses below
1243 0x300.
1244
1245 ============= ===========
1246 IO Switch No. I/O address
1247 210
1248 ============= ===========
1249 111 0x260
1250 110 0x290
1251 101 0x2E0
1252 100 0x2F0
1253 011 0x300
1254 010 0x350
1255 001 0x380
1256 000 0x3E0
1257 ============= ===========
1258
1259 The memory switches set a reserved address space of 0x1000 bytes
1260 (0x100 segment units, or 4k). For example if I set an address of
1261 0xD000, it will use up addresses 0xD000 to 0xD100.
1262
1263 The memory switches were tested by booting using QEMM386 stealth,
1264 and using LOADHI to see what address automatically became excluded
1265 from the upper memory regions, and then attempting to load ARCETHER
1266 using these addresses.
1267
1268 I recommend using an ARCnet memory address of 0xD000, and putting
1269 the EMS page frame at 0xC000 while using QEMM stealth mode. That
1270 way, you get contiguous high memory from 0xD100 almost all the way
1271 the end of the megabyte.
1272
1273 Memory Switch 0 (MS0) didn't seem to work properly when set to OFF
1274 on my card. It could be malfunctioning on my card. Experiment with
1275 it ON first, and if it doesn't work, set it to OFF. (It may be a
1276 modifier for the 0x200 bit?)
1277

1373
1374
1375Setting the Node ID
1376^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1377
1378The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
1379to the network must have an unique node ID which must be different from 0.
1380Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
1381
1382The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
1383These values are:
1384
1385 ======= ====== =====
1386 Switch Label Value
1387 ======= ====== =====
1388 1 ID0 1
1389 2 ID1 2

1415
1416
1417Setting the I/O Base Address
1418^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1419
1420The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
1421of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
1422
1423
1424 Switch | Hex I/O
1425 6 7 8 | Address
1426 ------------|--------
1427 ON ON ON | 260
1428 OFF ON ON | 290
1429 ON OFF ON | 2E0 (Manufacturer's default)
1430 OFF OFF ON | 2F0
1431 ON ON OFF | 300
1432 OFF ON OFF | 350
1433 ON OFF OFF | 380
1434 OFF OFF OFF | 3E0
1435
1436
1437Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
1438^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1439
1440The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
1441located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
1442memory base + 8K or memory base + 0x2000.
1443Switches 1-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.
1444
1445::
1446
1447 Switch | Hex RAM | Hex ROM
1448 1 2 3 4 5 | Address | Address *)
1449 --------------------|---------|-----------
1450 ON ON ON ON ON | C0000 | C2000
1451 ON ON OFF ON ON | C4000 | C6000
1452 ON ON ON OFF ON | CC000 | CE000
1453 ON ON OFF OFF ON | D0000 | D2000 (Manufacturer's default)
1454 ON ON ON ON OFF | D4000 | D6000
1455 ON ON OFF ON OFF | D8000 | DA000
1456 ON ON ON OFF OFF | DC000 | DE000
1457 ON ON OFF OFF OFF | E0000 | E2000
1458
1459 *) To enable the Boot ROM install the jumper JP1
1460
1461.. note::
1462
1463 Since the switches 1 and 2 are always set to ON it may be possible
1464 that they can be used to add an offset of 2K, 4K or 6K to the base
1465 address, but this feature is not documented in the manual and I
1466 haven't tested it yet.
1467
1468
1469Setting the Interrupt Line
1470^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1471
1472To select a hardware interrupt level install one (only one!) of the jumpers
1473JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, JP6. JP2 is the default::
1474
1475 Jumper | IRQ
1476 -------|-----
1477 2 | 2
1478 3 | 3
1479 4 | 4
1480 5 | 5
1481 6 | 7
1482
1483
1484Setting the Internal Terminator on CN120AB/TP/SBT
1485^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1486
1487The jumper JP12 is used to enable the internal terminator::
1488
1489 -----
1490 0 | 0 |
1491 ----- ON | | ON
1492 | 0 | | 0 |
1493 | | OFF ----- OFF
1494 | 0 | 0
1495 -----
1496 Terminator Terminator
1497 disabled enabled
1498
1499
1500Selecting the Connector Type on CN120ST/SBT
1501^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1502
1503::
1504
1505 JP10 JP11 JP10 JP11
1506 ----- -----
1507 0 0 | 0 | | 0 |
1508 ----- ----- | | | |

1512 ----- -----
1513 Coaxial Cable Twisted Pair Cable
1514 (Default)
1515
1516
1517Setting the Timeout Parameters
1518^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1519
1520The jumpers labeled EXT1 and EXT2 are used to determine the timeout
1521parameters. These two jumpers are normally left open.

1585
1586Setting the Node ID
1587^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1588
1589The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
1590to the network must have an unique node ID which must be different from 0.
1591Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
1592
1593The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
1594These values are::
1595
1596 Switch | Label | Value
1597 -------|-------|-------
1598 1 | ID0 | 1
1599 2 | ID1 | 2
1600 3 | ID2 | 4
1601 4 | ID3 | 8
1602 5 | ID4 | 16
1603 6 | ID5 | 32
1604 7 | ID6 | 64
1605 8 | ID7 | 128
1606
1607Some Examples::

1624
1625
1626Setting the I/O Base Address
1627^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1628
1629The first six switches in switch block SW1 are used to select the I/O Base
1630address using the following table::
1631
1632 Switch | Hex I/O
1633 1 2 3 4 5 6 | Address
1634 ------------------------|--------
1635 OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON | 260
1636 OFF ON OFF ON ON OFF | 290
1637 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF ON | 2E0 (Manufacturer's default)
1638 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF OFF | 2F0
1639 OFF OFF ON ON ON ON | 300
1640 OFF OFF ON OFF ON OFF | 350
1641 OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON | 380
1642 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON | 3E0
1643
1644Note: Other IO-Base addresses seem to be selectable, but only the above
1645 combinations are documented.
1646
1647
1648Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
1649^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1650
1651The switches 7-10 of switch block SW1 are used to select the Memory
1652Base address of the RAM (2K) and the PROM::
1653
1654 Switch | Hex RAM | Hex ROM
1655 7 8 9 10 | Address | Address
1656 ----------------|---------|-----------
1657 OFF OFF ON ON | C0000 | C8000
1658 OFF OFF ON OFF | D0000 | D8000 (Default)
1659 OFF OFF OFF ON | E0000 | E8000
1660
1661.. note::
1662
1663 Other MEM-Base addresses seem to be selectable, but only the above
1664 combinations are documented.
1665
1666
1667Setting the Interrupt Line
1668^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1669
1670To select a hardware interrupt level install one (only one!) of the jumpers
1671JP3 through JP13 using the following table::
1672
1673 Jumper | IRQ
1674 -------|-----------------
1675 3 | 14
1676 4 | 15
1677 5 | 12
1678 6 | 11
1679 7 | 10
1680 8 | 3
1681 9 | 4
1682 10 | 5
1683 11 | 6
1684 12 | 7
1685 13 | 2 (=9) Default!
1686
1687.. note::
1688
1689 - Do not use JP11=IRQ6, it may conflict with your Floppy Disk
1690 Controller
1691 - Use JP3=IRQ14 only, if you don't have an IDE-, MFM-, or RLL-
1692 Hard Disk, it may conflict with their controllers
1693
1694
1695Setting the Timeout Parameters
1696------------------------------
1697
1698The jumpers labeled JP1 and JP2 are used to determine the timeout
1699parameters. These two jumpers are normally left open.

1756It seems that the bits are considered in reverse order. Also, you must
1757observe that some of those addresses are unusual and I didn't probe them; I
1758used a memory dump in DOS to identify them. For the 00000 configuration and
1759some others that I didn't write here the card seems to conflict with the
1760video card (an S3 GENDAC). I leave the full decoding of those addresses to
1761you.

1863Setting the Node ID
1864^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1865
1866The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
1867to the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0.
1868Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
1869
1870Setting one of the switches to OFF means "1", ON means "0".
1871
1872The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
1873These values are::
1874
1875 Switch | Value
1876 -------|-------
1877 1 | 1
1878 2 | 2
1879 3 | 4
1880 4 | 8
1881 5 | 16
1882 6 | 32
1883 7 | 64
1884 8 | 128
1885
1886Don't set this to 0 or 255; these values are reserved.
1887
1888
1889Setting the I/O Base Address
1890^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1891
1892The switches 1 to 6 of switch block SW1 are used to select one
1893of 32 possible I/O Base addresses using the following tables::
1894
1895 | Hex
1896 Switch | Value
1897 -------|-------
1898 1 | 200
1899 2 | 100
1900 3 | 80
1901 4 | 40
1902 5 | 20
1903 6 | 10
1904
1905The I/O address is sum of all switches set to "1". Remember that
1906the I/O address space below 0x200 is RESERVED for mainboard, so
1907switch 1 should be ALWAYS SET TO OFF.
1908
1909
1910Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
1911^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1912
1913The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
1914located in any of sixteen positions. However, the addresses below
1915A0000 are likely to cause system hang because there's main RAM.
1916
1917Jumpers 7-10 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address::
1918
1919 Switch | Hex RAM
1920 7 8 9 10 | Address
1921 ----------------|---------
1922 OFF OFF OFF OFF | F0000 (conflicts with main BIOS)
1923 OFF OFF OFF ON | E0000
1924 OFF OFF ON OFF | D0000
1925 OFF OFF ON ON | C0000 (conflicts with video BIOS)
1926 OFF ON OFF OFF | B0000 (conflicts with mono video)
1927 OFF ON OFF ON | A0000 (conflicts with graphics)
1928
1929
1930Setting the Interrupt Line
1931^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1932
1933Jumpers 1-5 of the jumper block J1 control the IRQ level. ON means
1934shorted, OFF means open::
1935
1936 Jumper | IRQ
1937 1 2 3 4 5 |
1938 ----------------------------
1939 ON OFF OFF OFF OFF | 7
1940 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF | 5
1941 OFF OFF ON OFF OFF | 4
1942 OFF OFF OFF ON OFF | 3
1943 OFF OFF OFF OFF ON | 2
1944
1945
1946Unknown jumpers & sockets
1947^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1948
1949I know nothing about these. I just guess that J16&J17 are timeout
1950jumpers and maybe one of J18-J21 selects ROM. Also J6-J10 and
1951J11-J15 are connecting IRQ2-7 to some pins on the UFSs. I can't
1952guess the purpose.

2048
2049
2050Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2051^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2052
2053The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
2054located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
2055memory base + 0x2000.
2056
2057Jumpers 3-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.
2058
2059::

2072
2073 *) To enable the Boot ROM set the switch 8 of switch block SW3 to position ON.
2074
2075The switches 1 and 2 probably add 0x0800 and 0x1000 to RAM base address.
2076
2077
2078Setting the Interrupt Line
2079^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2080

2153Setting the Node ID
2154^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2155
2156The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached to
2157the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0. Switch 1 (ID0)
2158serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
2159
2160Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
2161
2162The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
2163These values are::
2164
2165 Switch | Label | Value
2166 -------|-------|-------
2167 1 | ID0 | 1
2168 2 | ID1 | 2
2169 3 | ID2 | 4

2171 5 | ID4 | 16
2172 6 | ID5 | 32
2173 7 | ID6 | 64
2174 8 | ID7 | 128
2175
2176Setting the I/O Base Address
2177^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2178
2179The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
2180of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
2181
2182
2183 Switch | Hex I/O
2184 6 7 8 | Address
2185 ------------|--------
2186 ON ON ON | 260 (Manufacturer's default)
2187 OFF ON ON | 290
2188 ON OFF ON | 2E0
2189 OFF OFF ON | 2F0
2190 ON ON OFF | 300
2191 OFF ON OFF | 350
2192 ON OFF OFF | 380
2193 OFF OFF OFF | 3E0
2194
2195
2196Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2197^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2198
2199The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
2200located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
2201memory base + 0x2000.
2202
2203Jumpers 3-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.
2204
2205::
2206
2207 Switch | Hex RAM | Hex ROM
2208 1 2 3 4 5 | Address | Address *)
2209 --------------------|---------|-----------
2210 ON ON ON ON ON | C0000 | C2000
2211 ON ON OFF ON ON | C4000 | C6000 (Manufacturer's default)
2212 ON ON ON OFF ON | CC000 | CE000
2213 ON ON OFF OFF ON | D0000 | D2000
2214 ON ON ON ON OFF | D4000 | D6000
2215 ON ON OFF ON OFF | D8000 | DA000
2216 ON ON ON OFF OFF | DC000 | DE000
2217 ON ON OFF OFF OFF | E0000 | E2000
2218
2219 *) To enable the Boot ROM short the jumper J2.
2220
2221The jumpers 1 and 2 probably add 0x0800 and 0x1000 to RAM address.
2222
2223
2224Setting the Interrupt Line
2225^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2226
2227Jumpers 1-5 of the jumper block J1 control the IRQ level. ON means
2228shorted, OFF means open::
2229
2230 Jumper | IRQ
2231 1 2 3 4 5 |
2232 ----------------------------
2233 ON OFF OFF OFF OFF | 2
2234 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF | 3
2235 OFF OFF ON OFF OFF | 4
2236 OFF OFF OFF ON OFF | 5
2237 OFF OFF OFF OFF ON | 7
2238
2239
2240Setting the Timeout Parameters
2241^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2242
2243The jumpers J3 are used to set the timeout parameters. These two
2244jumpers are normally left open.

2323
2324There is a DIP-switch with 8 switches, used to set the shared memory address
2325to be used. The first 6 switches set the address, the 7th doesn't have any
2326function, and the 8th switch is used to select "compatible" or "enhanced".
2327When I got my two cards, one of them had this switch set to "enhanced". That
2328card didn't work at all, it wasn't even recognized by the driver. The other
2329card had this switch set to "compatible" and it behaved absolutely normally. I
2330guess that the switch on one of the cards, must have been changed accidentally
2331when the card was taken out of its former host. The question remains
2332unanswered, what is the purpose of the "enhanced" position?
2333
2334[Avery's note: "enhanced" probably either disables shared memory (use IO
2335ports instead) or disables IO ports (use memory addresses instead). This
2336varies by the type of card involved. I fail to see how either of these
2337enhance anything. Send me more detailed information about this mode, or
2338just use "compatible" mode instead.]

2345 - from Robert Michael Best <rmb117@cs.usask.ca>
2346
2347[Avery's note: these don't work with my driver for some reason. These cards
2348SEEM to have settings similar to the PDI508Plus, which is
2349software-configured and doesn't work with my driver either. The "Waterloo
2350chip" is a boot PROM, probably designed specifically for the University of
2351Waterloo. If you have any further information about this card, please
2352e-mail me.]
2353
2354The probe has not been able to detect the card on any of the J2 settings,
2355and I tried them again with the "Waterloo" chip removed.

2508Setting the Node ID
2509^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2510
2511The eight switches in group SW1 are used to set the node ID.
2512Each node attached to the network must have an unique node ID which
2513must be different from 0.
2514Switch 8 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
2515
2516The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
2517These values are::
2518
2519 Switch | Value
2520 -------|-------
2521 8 | 1

2549Setting the I/O Base Address
2550^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2551
2552The first three switches in switch group SW2 are used to select one
2553of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
2554
2555 Switch | Hex I/O
2556 1 2 3 | Address
2557 ------------|--------
2558 ON ON ON | 260
2559 ON ON OFF | 290

2561 ON OFF OFF | 2F0
2562 OFF ON ON | 300
2563 OFF ON OFF | 350
2564 OFF OFF ON | 380
2565 OFF OFF OFF | 3E0
2566
2567
2568Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2569^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2570
2571The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
257216K block can be located in any of eight positions.
2573Switches 4-6 of switch group SW2 select the Base of the 16K block.
2574Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
2575positions, determined by the offset, switches 7 and 8 of group SW2.
2576

2622 *) To enable the 8K Boot PROM install the jumper ROM.
2623 The default is jumper ROM not installed.
2624
2625
2626Setting Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ)
2627^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2628
2629To select a hardware interrupt level set one (only one!) of the jumpers
2630IRQ2, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5 or IRQ7. The manufacturer's default is IRQ2.
2631
2632
2633Setting the Timeouts
2634^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2635
2636The two jumpers labeled ET1 and ET2 are used to determine the timeout
2637parameters (response and reconfiguration time). Every node in a network
2638must be set to the same timeout values.
2639
2640::
2641
2642 ET1 ET2 | Response Time (us) | Reconfiguration Time (ms)
2643 --------|--------------------|--------------------------
2644 Off Off | 78 | 840 (Default)
2645 Off On | 285 | 1680
2646 On Off | 563 | 1680
2647 On On | 1130 | 1680
2648
2649On means jumper installed, Off means jumper not installed

2657because there are missing two pages in the manual booklet. (The table
2658of contents reports pages ... 2-9, 2-11, 2-12, 3-1, ... but inside
2659the booklet there is a different way of counting ... 2-9, 2-10, A-1,
2660(empty page), 3-1, ..., 3-18, A-1 (again), A-2)
2661Also the picture of the board layout is not as good as the picture of
26628-Bit card, because there isn't any letter like "SW1" written to the
2663picture.
2664
2665Should somebody have such a board, please feel free to complete this
2666description or to send a mail to me!

2701Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
2702
2703
2704Setting the Node ID
2705^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2706
2707The eight switches in group SW2 are used to set the node ID.
2708Each node attached to the network must have an unique node ID which
2709must be different from 0.
2710Switch 8 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
2711
2712The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
2713These values are::
2714
2715 Switch | Value
2716 -------|-------
2717 8 | 1
2718 7 | 2
2719 6 | 4
2720 5 | 8
2721 4 | 16

2745Setting the I/O Base Address
2746^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2747
2748The first three switches in switch group SW1 are used to select one
2749of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
2750
2751 Switch | Hex I/O
2752 3 2 1 | Address
2753 ------------|--------

2762
2763
2764Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2765^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2766
2767The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
276816K block can be located in any of eight positions.
2769Switches 6-8 of switch group SW1 select the Base of the 16K block.
2770Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
2771positions, determined by the offset, switches 4 and 5 of group SW1::

2833
2834I have named this ARCnet card "NONAME", since I got only the card with
2835no manual at all and the only text identifying the manufacturer is
2836"MADE IN TAIWAN R.O.C" printed on the card.

2877Although the jumpers SW1 and SW3 are marked SW, not JP, they are jumpers, not
2878switches.
2879
2880Setting the jumpers to ON means connecting the upper two pins, off the bottom
2881two - or - in case of IRQ setting, connecting none of them at all.
2882
2883Setting the Node ID
2884^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2885
2886The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
2887to the network must have an unique node ID which must not be 0.
2888Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
2889
2890Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
2891
2892The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
2893These values are::
2894
2895 Switch | Label | Value
2896 -------|-------|-------
2897 1 | ID0 | 1

2925Setting the I/O Base Address
2926^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2927
2928The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
2929of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the following table::
2930
2931
2932 Switch | Hex I/O

2944
2945Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
2946^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2947
2948The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
2949located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
2950memory base + 0x2000.
2951
2952Jumpers 3-5 of jumper block SW1 select the Memory Base address.
2953
2954::

2965 ON ON ON OFF OFF | DC000 | DE000
2966 ON ON OFF OFF OFF | E0000 | E2000
2967
2968 *) To enable the Boot ROM set the jumper 8 of jumper block SW3 to position ON.
2969
2970The jumpers 1 and 2 probably add 0x0800, 0x1000 and 0x1800 to RAM adders.
2971
2972Setting the Interrupt Line
2973^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2974
2975Jumpers 1-5 of the jumper block SW3 control the IRQ level::

3052up (on) SW1...(switches 1-5)
3053IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7, IRQ2. The Manufacturer's default is IRQ2.
3054
3055The switches on SW1 labeled EXT1 (switch 6) and EXT2 (switch 7)
3056are used to determine the timeout parameters. These two dip switches
3057are normally left off (down).
3058
