Does any one know where I can find details of the specifications for the
PCBUS interface supported on the AccessPro (2503 /2504) router on an ISA
PC card?
The AccessPro uses shared memory (typically at D000) to implement an
emulated network interface. It is referenced as 'interface PCBUS 0' and
can be configured on the AccessPro side as any other interface. This
interface was used in the Lanoptics version of the card to talk to the
SNMP network manager software present on the Lanoptics managed hub. The
PCBUS interface is not the same as the Console used by standard Terminal
emulation software (Hyperterm etc.) by default on COM2 on the PC.
I have tried searching CCO but I have failed to find more than a passing
2 line reference to say that it was used by LANOPTICS for Network
management.
I am interested in the memory record structure used in the shared memory
block.
I am actually interested in a network device driver for the PC. ODI,
NDIS, PACKET driver or other. This would then allow the PC to appear as
another network interface (PCBUS 0) on the AccessPro.
Many Thanks,
Peter
