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.

  • 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.
