Network Adapter Card Drivers
Because user network environments are numerous, differing in
network-management software, operating systems, and protocol
stacks, a variety of adapter card drivers is necessary to operate
an adapter card in a majority of environments. An ODI driver for
NetWare running in DOS might be needed, or an NDIS driver
for Windows for Workgroups or for LAN Manager running in
OS/2, or a packet driver for PC/TCP in DOS.
The CardAssistant diskette has adapter card drivers for many
different environments, as well as application-specific readme
files and sample configuration files. Depending on your network,
you will need to install the right driver and possibly merge it
with your network software. Refer to the manuals supplied with
your network software for the procedure for installing an
adapter card driver. Allied Telesyn maintains application
information on our bulletin boards. See "Get Technical Support"
on page 33.
Drivers for Workstations
If you are installing the adapter card in a workstation, see the
workstation driver selection in Table 2. This table contains only
the most commonly used workstation drivers. Allied Telesyn
continually adds new drivers for both servers and workstations,
and a complete list and description of these drivers is contained
in the file
on the CardAssistant diskette.
