Introduction:
=============

  This document shows you how to use the eeprom utility. This utility runs
under DOS environment.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    EEPROM.EXE          The eeprom utility program file.
    EEPROM.CFG          The eeprom utility default configuration file.
    EEPROM.TXT          This file.

Usage:
======

    The eeprom menu consists of four functions:                          
                                                                                
    1.  F1: Create Data File
        You should use this function to create a new EEPROM data file.
        The default value of "Ethernet ID", "Subsystem ID", "Subsystem Vendor ID" 
        and "PHY address" are invalid. Modify them to the valid value and 
        save to a file.
                                                                                
    2.  F2: Open Data File
        If you want to modify an existed EEPROM data file, you could use 
        this function.
                                                                                
    3.  F3: Write to EEPROM
        After the EEPROM data file is OK, you could use this function
        to write the data file into EEPROM.
                                                                                
    4.  Esc: Exit
        Exit this program.                                                                                
                                                                                

Command line usage
==================

Usage: EEPROM [option]
option: -?                        This help.
        -h                        This help.
        -p[#] [MAC Address] filename [-i [filename1]] [-o filename2]
                                  Program EEPROM with data in filename and output the
                                  programmed MAC address to filename2 if -o is specified.
                                  use alternative way to modify MAC address if -i is specified.
                                  if filename1 is omitted, the program will read MAC from console.
                                  # : ( 1 ~ 8 ) card number, could be ignored.
                                  [MAC Address]: 12 HEX characters, could be ignored.
                                  p file1.nic : Program file1.nic with first adapter.

        -v[#] filename            Verify EEPROM with data in filename.
                                  # : ( 1 ~ 8 ) card number, could be ignored.

                                  bm 18 : PXE: Try local drives boot first, then network.
                                  bm BBS: PXE: Boot according to BIOS setting.      
                                  bm RPL: RPL: Try network boot first, then local drives.
                                  bm NO : Local drives boot.
        -g[#]                     generate 1's compliment checksum and write it to EEPROM 0fh (high byte).
                                  # : ( 1 ~ 8 ) card number, could be ignored.
        -c[#]                     check if the checksum stored in EEPROM is valid or not.
                                  # : ( 1 ~ 8 ) card number, could be ignored.
        -mi num filename          Increase MAC address in filename by num.
        -md num filename          Decrease MAC address in filename by num.
