Special Considerations II. Files Needed for Installation III. Installing the NDIS Drivers 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. II. Files Needed for Installation ================================= The following files are required for installation: \OEMSETUP.INF (information file) \A2500.DOS (NDIS 2.0 Driver) \INFO\MSCLIENT.TXT (this file) III. Installing NDIS Drivers ============================= Before you start with the installation procedure, make sure that the adapter is properly installed and configured. Similarly, make sure that your Microsoft Network Client is properly installed. (If not, the installation utility SETUP.EXE is located on Microsoft Network Client v3.0 for MS-DOS Disk. Run SETUP.EXE from disk and the SETUP program screen will appear, and you must complete each of the questions. These options are specific to your needs. The installation procedure will transfer files to a specific directory on the client and modify existing configuration files to fit your specific needs.) 1. Change to the Microsoft Network Client subdirectory, and run SETUP.EXE. 2. The screen will display some information. Press <Enter>. 3. Respond to the screen prompts, selecting "Change Network Configuration", then press <Enter>. 4. Move the highlight to "Add Adapter", press <Enter>. 5. Select "Network adapter not shown on list below ...". 6. Insert the CardAssistant diskette in floppy drive A:, and specify your pathname A:\; then press <Enter>. 7. Follow screen instructions to complete the process. Simply pressing <Enter> for each screen display will select the default options. Press <Enter> until you reach the display prompting you to reboot your system. -------------------------------------------- -- Sample Configuration Files -- -------------------------------------------- Ex1: [PROTOCOL.INI] (install creates this file) [network.setup] version=0x3110 netcard=RTL8139,1,RTL8139,1 transport=ms$ndishlp,MS$NDISHLP transport=ms$netbeui,MS$NETBEUI lana0=RTL8139,1,ms$netbeui lana1=RTL8139,1,ms$ndishlp [protman] DriverName=PROTMAN$ PRIORITY=MS$NDISHLP [MS$NDISHLP] DriverName=ndishlp$ BINDINGS=RTL8139 [MS$NETBEUI] DriverName=netbeui$ SESSIONS=10 NCBS=12 BINDINGS=RTL8139 LANABASE=0 [RTL8139] ; RTL8139 RPOTOCOL.INI SAMPLE DriverName=A2500$ IV. Removing an Existing Driver ================================ To complete de-installation of the NDIS2 driver, remove the driver line from the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or comment it out, and reboot. V. How to See MAC Address ========================= To determine a MAC address for a card: 1. Boot the computer into DOS with no drivers loaded. 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
