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.
