CHANGING EEROM PARAMETER SETTINGS

				 USING THE 

		       ISP1020 EEROM CONFIGURATION UTILITY

				VERSION 2.1



EEROM PARAMETER SETTINGS

The KZPBA host adapter ships with factory default EEROM parameters that 

determine how the host adapter board operates and interacts with connected 

devices. The default EEROM parameter settings are appropriate for most system 

configurations.



The KZPBA host adapter also ships with a floppy diskette containing the 

ISP1020 EEROM Configuration Utility for Alpha AXP Version 2.0, which you 

can use to change parameter settings. 



The utility displays on either a VGA monitor; or a VT320, or newer generation 

terminal.



The major steps required to change EEROM settings include:



	Setting the terminal, if displaying on a terminal

	Starting the utility

	Changing the appropriate host adapter or device-specific parameters



Setting Terminal

	To display the EEROM configuration utility on a VT320 or newer 

	generation terminal set your terminal to: VT300 mode, 8 bit controls.



STARTING THE EEROM CONFIGURATION UTILITY



These instructions assume you have the program EEROMCFG.EXE on a floppy.  If

you are running the program from the Alpha Systems Firmware Update CD, replace

a:\eeromcfg.exe (at the "program to run" prompt) with cd:\utility\eeromcfg.exe.

You may also copy eeromcfg.exe from the directory \utility\ on the ISO9660-

formatted side of the CD to a FAT formatted floppy.



To start the EEROM Configuration Utility follow these steps:

1.      If your systems runs Windows NT the ARC console should appear as 

	shown below.

	If your system runs DEC OSF/1, or OpenVMS type ARC. Or set the 

	os_type variable to NT, by typing: set os_type NT, and reboot your 

	system.

2.      Insert the floppy diskette containing the eeromcfg.exe file into the 

	appropriate floppy drive.

3.      Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight "Run a Program" from the 

	Boot Menu on the ARC console and press the Enter key to select it. The 

	following prompt appears: "Program to run:"

4.      Type the following: "program to run:a:eeromcfg" and press the Enter 

	key.  The ISP1020 EEROM Configuration Utility Select ISP1020 screen 

	should appear.

5.      Use the up and down arrow keys to move the selector brackets to the 

	ISP1020 that you want to configure and press the Enter key. 





CHANGING THE EEROM PARAMETERS



	This section describes how to change:

		Host adapter EEROM parameter settings which control the 

			general operation of the KZPBA host Adapter.

		Device parameter settings which control how the KZPBA 

			interacts with connected devices.



CHANGING HOST ADAPTER PARAMETERS

To change host adapter parameters, follow these steps:

1.      Use the up and down arrow keys or type 'H' to move the bracket 

	selector to the Edit EEROM (H)ost Adapter Parameters option on the 

	Configure EEROM Parameters menu and press the Enter key to select. 



THE EDIT EEROM HOST ADAPTER PARAMETERS SCREEN

2.      Press the Enter key or use the up and down arrow keys to move 

	through the list of parameters. To change a parameter value back 

	space over the value in the New field and type in a new value. If you 

	enter a value out of the range for this parameter the utility will 

	display an error message indicating the valid range.

3.      When you finish changing host adapter parameters press the 'O' key to 

	confirm your changes or press the 'C' key if you do not want to save 

	changes and return to the main menu. If you press the 'O' key a 

	confirmation screen appears.

4.      Press 'Y' to save changes and return to the main menu or press 'N' to 

	return to the main menu without saving changes.



NOTE

If you choose not to save your changes your changes will appear on the host 

adapter parameters screen until you press 'X' from the main menu. 

Pressing 'X' from the main screen clears your changes from the host adapter 

parameters screen.





CHANGING DEVICE PARAMETERS

To change device parameters follow these steps:

1.      Use the up and down arrow keys or type 'D' to move the bracket 

	selector to the Edit EEROM (D)evice Parameters option on the 

	Configure EEROM Parameters menu and press the Enter key to select. 





EDIT EEROM DEVICE PARAMETERS SCREEN

2.      Use the right and left arrow keys to move between devices. The device 

	columns scroll to the right for up to 15 devices.

3.      Press the Enter key or use the up and down arrow keys to move through 

	the list of parameters. To change a parameter value back space over 

	the value in the New field and type in a new value. If you enter a 

	value out of the range for this parameter the utility will display an 

	error message indicating the valid range.



4.      When you finish changing device adapter parameters press the 'O' key 

	to save your changes or press the 'C' key if you do not want to save 

	changes and return to the main menu. If you press the 'O' key a Write 

	EEPROM Parameters screen appears.

5.      Press 'Y' to save changes and return to the main menu or press 'N' to 

	return to the main menu without saving changes.



NOTE

If you choose not to save your changes your changes will appear on the device 

adapter parameters screen until you press 'X from the main menu. Pressing 'X' 

from the main screen clears your changes from the host adapter parameters 

screen.
