Manually Installing a Network Adapter Driver

Installation Guidelines

30
Please review the following guidelines before you begin to manually
install a network adapter driver on your computer:
If your computer is running Windows 98, 2000, Me, or XP and has
a CD-ROM drive, you can run AT-Setup to automatically install an
adapter driver. This program is included on the CardAssistant CD.
For instructions, refer to
on page 19.
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
Manually Installing a Network Adapter Driver
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
Installation Disk
Allied Telesyn 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 a 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.
