Special Considerations II. Files Needed for Installation III. Installing the AT-2500 with Windows 95 IV. Removing an Existing Driver V. How to See MAC Address I. Special Considerations ========================== Configuration of the AT-2500TX is under PCI control, and the AT-2500TX is NWAY capable. For most applications, no setup other than normal installation of the network software is necessary. For any half-duplex application, the card by default auto-detects the speed of the link (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps). If the connection is full-duplex without NWAY capability, you must select one of the full-duplex settings. In this case, refer to the "Connection speed and duplex" information file. The SETUP25 utility only runs on DOS. To enter DOS mode in Windows 95, reboot and press F8 when the "Starting Windows 95" message appears. Select the Command prompt only option (#6). To de-install the driver, use the remove driver option from your Windows 95 Network Control Panel. See "IV. Removing an Existing Driver". II. Files Needed for Installation ================================= The following files are required for installation: \A2500.SYS (miniport driver) \NETATI25.INF (OEM setup file for miniport driver and Windows 95) \INFO\WIN95.TXT (this file) III. Installing the AT-2500 with Windows 95 =========================================== 1. With Windows 95 installed as per Microsoft installation instructions, shutdown Windows 95, power off your computer. 2. Following the instructions in your computer manual for PCI card installation, install your AT-2500 card, and reboot your system. 3. Have the Windows 95 setup CD-ROM disc or floppy diskette(s) available. You will be called on to copy support files for networking. 4. Windows 95 finds the PCI adapter card. The new hardware found message appears, and you are prompted for the driver. 5. Insert the Allied Telesyn CardAssistant diskette in the floppy drive. A dialog box prompts for a source, proposing "A:\". Click OK. 6. When prompted by Windows 95, insert the Windows installation media. 7. Reboot the computer into Windows 95 as prompted. Remove the CardAssistant diskette from the drive and click Yes. Windows 95 will complete the driver installation process. IV. Removing an Existing Driver =============================== 1. From the "My Computer" icon, choose "Control Panel". Then choose "Network". 2. From the "Network" dialog box, select the adapter to remove. Then choose "Remove". 3. Do Not Shutdown or Restart Windows 95 at this time. To install the AT-2500 driver, complete the steps listed in section III. V. How to See MAC Address ========================= To determine a MAC address for a card: 1. Boot the computer into DOS with no drivers loaded. To enter DOS mode in Windows 95, reboot and press F8 when the "Starting Windows 95" message appears. Select the Command prompt only option (#6). 2. Insert the CardAssistant diskette in the floppy drive and launch SETUP25: type a:\setup25. 3. The main screen shows a table listing the AT-2500 Fast Ethernet cards installed in the computer. Write down the address(es) listed in the "MAC" column of the table. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.Download Driver Pack
