AT-Setup Guidelines

Before running AT-Setup, review the following guidelines:
The AT-Setup program is designed for Windows 98, 2000, Me, and
XP operating systems only. You cannot use this program to install
an adapter driver on any other type of operating system.
If you are installing multiple network adapter cards in a Windows
98, 2000, Me, or XP operating system, you must install a separate
adapter driver for each adapter card. You can either run AT-Setup
for each adapter card you are installing or you can manually install
the adapter drivers. Refer to Running AT-Setup on page 22 or
Manually Installing a Network Adapter Driver on page 29.
If the computer in which you are installing the adapter card does
not have a CD-ROM drive, you must create a driver installation
disk to install the adapter driver. Refer to Creating a Driver
Installation Disk on page 31 for instructions.
Allied Telesyn network adapter cards are PCI-compliant. The
adapter card's operating parameters, such as interrupt level and
memory range, are set automatically by the computer so that they
do not conflict with other devices in your computer. Do not
change any of the operating parameters of an adapter card
without a full understanding of the parameters' functions.
Allied Telesyn adapter cards are auto-negotiation compliant for
both speed (for dual-speed adapter cards) and duplex mode on
the twisted pair port. This means that the adapter card will
automatically set the speed and duplex mode of the port to
match the speed and duplex mode of the end-node (for example,
an Ethernet hub or switch) to which the adapter port is
connected. The fiber optic port is not auto-negotiation compliant,
so it must be manually configured for both speed and duplex
mode.
