Page 8: Description
(Alternatively, you can use the card's jumpers.) The PCL-843 conforms to FCC Class A standards. Put a boot ROM in its supported socket and you can boot the workstation automatically from a file server without any local disk drives, excellent for operation in stand-alone and harsh industrial environments. -

For the majority of systems, select Mode 0 (default). Mode 1 is for older systems utilizing C&T chipsets, IBM 286 (or compatible) systems or... -
Page 18: Configuration Using Software
Configuration using software To set up the PCL-843's configuration using the software utility, follow the procedures below: Step 1. Ensure that jumper JP4 (pins 3 and 4) is open Step 2. Run the SETUP.EXE file located in the root directory of the software utility diskette. -
Page 19: Remote Boot Operation
Appendix A. This file gives detailed information on how to remote boot from a file server. Installing boot ROM chips After you’ve configured the PCL-843, you should install your ROM chip. These following procedures are only intended as a supplement Chapter 2 Hardware Installation... - Page 20 to the information your chip manufacturer has given you. If you are inexperienced in installing chips, you may want to read a good hardware reference book before you begin. One recommendation is by Winn L.

Page 30: Installing Quick Boot Rom
This Appendix explains how to set up a network so that a workstation can boot from remote boot image files stored on a file server rather than from a boot diskette or hard drive located in the workstations local drive. This means a workstation relies on a PROM installed on its network board to communicate with the file server when power is applied. - Page 31 1. Create a single remote boot image file (NET$DOS.SYS) A. Boot a workstation from floppy or hard disk, and log in as SUPERVISOR. B. Insert the bootable diskette in drive A. The bootable diskette must include AUTOEXEC.BAT, drivers and shell files such as LSL, RPLODI, ETHER16, IPXODI, and NETX.

Copy the renamed .BAT file from the bootable diskette into the SYS:LOGIN directory and the default directory which is specified in the login script. Normally the default directory is the user’s home directory.

Page 34: Using Different Frame Types
1. In the NET.CFG file, a command “FRAME ETHERNET_xxx” is used. This has to be consistent with the frame type the network uses, even though this is the users choice to do so. For example: Frame type The command line 802.2 FRAME ETHERNET_802.2 ETHERNET_II... - Page 35 Load ETHER16 port=300 int=3 frame=ETHERNET_SNP name=ETHER_SNP Bind IPX to ETHER_SNP net=NNNNNNNN 2.
