Configuring the Adapter
Using the Setup P r o g r a m
Introduction
The adapter comes configured from
the factory to use I/O registers in the
range 280-29F (hex), IRQ 3, and
shared RAM at D O O O O - D3FFF (hex).
If the factory default configuration
conflicts with the configuration of
another board or computer function,
consider changing the jumper at W l .
Refer to Table 4.
If the values associated with the
other preassigned jumper setting also
conflict, set the jumper at Wl to SOFT
and run the software setup program
to select a configuration.
This section explains how to use the
software setup program. In addition
to the settings associated with SOFT
at W l , the setup program can be used
to change the ROM base address
(that is, the setting associated with
SOFT at W2), and other configuration
parameters. See Table 6.
Before ainning the software setup pro-
gram, make sure that-
• You have installed the adapter in
your computer Refer to the sec-
tion in your computer's user
documentation that describes how
to install option boards.
Note: Always handle the adapter
by its edges.
• Network software is not running
on the computer. If networi<
software is running on the com-
puter, remove the networic
software from your CONFIG.SYS or
AUTOEXEC. BAT files, if necessary.
Then, reboot the computer (or
otherwise unload the network
software) to ensure proper
functioning of the configuration
software.
•
If more than one LAN adapter is to
be installed, make sure you know
the identification of the adapter
you want to configure. If a single
adapter is to be installed, the
setup program will automatically
find it. If there is more than one
adapter, you must tell the setup
program which adapter to con-
figure. Each Ethernet adapter can
be identified by its 12-character
node address (located on the NET-
WORK ADDRESS label attached to
the adapter), or by its I/O base ad-
dress.
