NETGEAR EA201 Ethernet Card
---------------------------
Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
-------------------------------------------------
Getting Started
---------------
The Windows NT CD-ROM or diskettes are needed for the following
procedure.
Installation Procedure
----------------------
1. Boot up the system with Windows NT 3.51. From the "Main"
window, select "Control Panel".
2. In the "Control Panel" window, select the "Network" icon.
3. In "Network Settings" window, select "Add Adapter". Windows NT
will display a list of all available drivers.
4. Select "Other" for third-party adapters not included in the list.
The program prompts for the directory containing the Ethernet
drivers.
5. Specify the full path of the driver, A:\WINNT\NT351.
(eg. C:\<PATH> is the directory where the drivers were previously
extracted.)
6. Windows NT will attempt to locate the OEMSETUP.INF file in the
specified path and copy the appropriate drivers into the Windows NT
system.
7. Choose the "NETGEAR EA201 Ethernet Card".
8. Windows NT will copy the driver files from the EA201 directory. It
also will pop up with the configuration window. You can assign the
"I/O Port:", "IRQ Number:", "Duplex Mode:", and "Network Address"
here.
For "I/O Port:", choose the right I/O address (Please reference
SETUP.EXE of release driver diskette root directory)
For "IRQ Number:", choose the right Interrupt (Please reference
SETUP.EXE of release driver diskette root directory)
For "Duplex Mode:", choose the "Half Duplex" option, when card
connect to 10M Hub device (Half Duplex is default). Choose the
"Full Duplex" option, when card connect to switch device that
support 10M full duplex mode.
Caution: Unless necessary, do not modify the NetworkAddress field.
The driver will use the default unique Ethernet address contained in
the serial ROM on the adapter.
9. After the initial installation, the drivers will be permanently
installed into the Windows NT system. Subsequent accesses to the
network driver list will include these drivers as options.
