I. Special Considerations
==========================
Configuration of the AT-2400T/BT resources is under PCI
control. For most applications, no setup other than normal
installation of the network software is necessary. To
change port settings, to manually view the card's
configuration or to run Diagnostics, use the CardAssistant
setup program, SET2400.EXE.
The SET2400 utility only runs on DOS. To enter
DOS mode in Windows 9x, reboot and press F8 when the
"Starting Windows 9x" message appears. Select the Command
prompt only option (#6).
II. Files Needed for Installation
=================================
The following files are required for installation:
\AT2400m4.SYS (NDIS 4.0 Miniport Driver)
\AT2400m.sys (NDIS 3.0 Miniport Driver)
\NETATI24.INF (Network adapter installation file)
\TXT\MS\WIN95_98.TXT (this file)
NOTE: The Auto-NDIS feature will automatically
determine the NDIS driver version to
load during the Windows 9x start-up.
III. Running WINPREP
===============================================
1. Start Windows with no AT-2400 installed in the
system. Use Windows "Run" command from the Start
menu and type in "A:\winprep". WINPREP will copy
the NDIS drivers and configuration files to the
appropriate directories.
2. Power down the system, installed the NIC and reboot.
During system boot the NIC will be automatically
detected and the correct NDIS version installed.
This is a function of ATINDI.DLL where
the correct NDIS version is matched with the
appropriate operating system version. After the
driver is installed the system will require a reboot
to load the appropriate driver.
3. If the Auto-NDIS version is not preferred, the user
may go into the AT-2400 adapter properties and
select the desired NDIS driver. However, Windows
95 Retail (Build 950) and Windows 95 OSR1 (Build 950a)
will not load an NDIS 4.0 or higher driver.
IV. Standard Driver Installation for Windows 9x
===================================================
1. Following the instructions in your computer manual for
PCI card installation, install your AT-2400 card, and
reboot your system.
2. Have the Windows 9x setup CD-ROM disc or floppy
diskette(s) available. You will be called on to copy
support files for networking.
3. Windows 9x finds the PCI adapter card. The new hardware
found message appears, and you are prompted for the
driver.
4. Insert the Allied Telesyn CardAssistant diskette in the
floppy drive. A dialog box prompts for a source,
proposing "A:\". (If you are running Windows 95, which
driver to use depends on which build of Windows 95 you
have. If you are not sure which build you have, you can
check the release number in the System Properties
dialog box, General tab.) If you are running Windows 98
or Windows 95 build 950b and greater, the correct
driver (NDIS4) is in the root directory.
For Win 95 build 950a or lower, use the NDIS3 driver:
in the source dialog box, type "A:\NDIS3" to point
Windows to the NDIS3 driver.
Click OK.
5. When prompted by Windows 9x, insert the Windows
installation media.
6. Reboot the computer into Windows 9x as prompted. Remove
the CardAssistant diskette from the drive and click Yes.
Windows 9x will complete the driver installation process.
V. Removing network software drivers
====================================
1. Under "My Computer", choose "Control Panel", and
then choose "Network".
2. In the "Network" dialog box, select the adapter to
remove, and click "Remove".
3. Click "OK", and restart the system when prompted.
VI. How to See MAC Address
=========================
To determine the MAC address for the AT-2400T/BT:
1. Boot the computer into DOS with no drivers loaded. To
enter DOS mode in Windows 9x, reboot and press F8 when
the "Starting Windows 9x" message appears. Select the
Command prompt only option (#6).
2. Insert the CardAssistant diskette in the floppy drive
and run SET2400.
3. The main screen shows a table listing the AT-2400
Ethernet cards installed in the computer. Write down the
address(es) listed in the "MAC" column of the table.

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
