Press <F1> to activate on-line help and select the driver you need. The corresponding README.TXT file containing driver installation instructions will be displayed.

The following are the Network Operating Systems supported by Accton’s 1Step:

NetWare Workstation version 4.0, 3.x, 2.x, Lite, and Lite Server LAN Manager 2.0 and 2.1

LAN Support Program 1.2 and 1.3 DEC Pathworks

Banyan Vines

Sun PC-NFS

Wollongong Pathway Access

Windows for Workgroups 3.10 and 3.11

Note: 1Step automatically loads the NETX.EXE NetWare Shell program by default. You need to save at least one drive letter for the login directory when the NetWare client is initiated by setting the Lastdrive statement in your CONFIG.SYS file to any available drive letter except Z. This will cause the NetWare Client software to assign the next letter as the Client login directory.

e.g., Lastdrive=Y

Lastdrive statement in CONFIG.SYS

Z:\>Login

NetWare Client login directory assigned

If you opted for the NetWare DOS requester (VLM.EXE), You need not worry about the “LASTDRIVE=” statement. If you set the “LASTDRIVE=” to any letter other than Z, you may get warning messages. Ignore them.

Selecting the Driver

The PC Card provides support for NetWare and NDIS drivers. Install the driver you need depending on your NOS.

Selecting the Frame Type

Select the Frame Type appropriate for your adapter from the choices provided. The Card provides four selections, which include Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet II, Ethernet 802.2 and Ethernet SNAP. The factory default frame type is Ethernet 802.3 for NetWare 3.x and Ethernet 802.2 for NetWare 4.0.

EN2218 specifications

Accton Technology EN2218 is a versatile and robust networking device designed primarily for enterprise and service provider applications. Known for its compact design and high efficiency, the EN2218 is particularly well-suited for environments where space and power consumption are critical factors. This device integrates advanced networking technologies and features that ensure it can handle a variety of tasks with ease.

One of the standout characteristics of the EN2218 is its scalability. It supports multiple configurations, allowing enterprises to adapt the device to their specific networking needs. This flexibility makes it ideal for a range of applications, from small offices to large data centers, where the demand for high-capacity network switching is ever-increasing.

The EN2218 boasts impressive throughput capabilities. Equipped with multiple Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports, it provides ample bandwidth for simultaneous data transfers. This ensures smooth operation for data-intensive applications such as video conferencing, large file transfers, and cloud computing, fostering an improved user experience without bottlenecks.

Security is a significant focus for networking equipment, and the EN2218 does not disappoint. It features advanced security protocols that protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized access. With support for Virtual Private Network (VPN) configurations, users can ensure secure connections over public networks, making the device ideal for remote work setups.

Additionally, the EN2218 supports advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, allowing for prioritization of critical data streams. This is essential for businesses requiring real-time data processing, such as VoIP or video streaming services. With QoS, users can manage bandwidth effectively, ensuring that priority applications receive the resources they need for optimal performance.

Another key technology integrated into the EN2218 is its support for PoE (Power over Ethernet). This allows network cables to transfer power alongside data, reducing the need for separate power supplies and enhancing installation flexibility. This is particularly beneficial for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

The EN2218 also includes an intuitive web-based interface for easy management and configuration. Network administrators can quickly set up the device, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues without requiring extensive technical expertise. This usability factor is critical in reducing the total cost of ownership and streamlining network operations.

In summary, Accton Technology EN2218 is a feature-rich networking solution that combines scalability, security, throughput, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for diverse networking environments. Its emphasis on advanced technologies ensures that it meets the evolving demands of modern enterprises.
