3-4 CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING THE ADAPTER
2 Complete one of the following instructions:
■ If your computer supplies this utility on its hard disk, follow
the instructions displayed on the screen to run the utility.
■ Alternatively, insert the EISA configuration utility diskette
provided with your computer and follow the instructions
displayed on the screen.
3 When the adapter has been successfully configured,
proceed to Chapter 4, “Loading Network Drivers.”
Software Option Settings
The EISA configuration utility automatically configures the
following parameters on the Fast Ethernet EISA adapter:
■ Slot Number/Port Address
■ Interrupt Request Level
■ Boot PROM Enable/Disable
■ I/O Port Address
If you need to change the factory-set Media Type, Network
Driver Optimization, or Full Duplex (10 Mbps only) options, use
the EtherDisk diskette Configuration and Diagnostic Program.
Table 3-1 lists the default setting and the available settings.
Refer to the on-line help (press [F1]) when each option is
highlighted) for more information about each of the settings.
When you run the EtherDisk diskette Configuration and
Diagnostic Program to change software options, make sure
that no network drivers or memory managers have been
loaded. If you are using MS-DOS
â
6.0 or later, you can avoid
loading the drivers by pressing [F5] as soon as you see the
message “Loading MS-DOS.” If you are using a version of
MS-DOS below 6.0, boot your computer from a DOS diskette.
