Selecting Media Type and Duplex Mode with CardAs-
The and parameters are used instead of the command-
/R= /W=
line configuration switches to create a configuration file that
can use to configure subsequent cards. You use the
setup24 /W=
switch to create a file from an adapter card and the switch to
/R=
configure a card by reading the configuration from the file.
When configuring cards using command-line parameters,
can configure only one AT-2450 PCI Ethernet Adapter
setup24
Card at a time. If multiple boards are to be installed, either run
CardAssistant interactively, or use a configuration file.

Boot ROM Socket

The AT-2450 PCI Ethernet Adapter Card is shipped with an
unpopulated boot ROM socket. For a diskless workstation, or for
remote or centralized booting, the card needs a boot ROM to
allow it to load the operating system over the network. Because
the boot ROM access is enabled by the physical presence of the
ROM, the boot ROM must be physically removed to enable
ROMless operation. If it is installed, your operating system must
be configured for remote boot. Consult your computer
manufacturer's documentation.
Boot ROMs are application-specific. Allied Telesyn supplies a
range of boot ROMs for different network environments.
Contact your Allied Telesyn representative for more
information.
