I.  Special Considerations 
==========================

Configuration of the AT-2700/2450 NIC 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, SETUP27.EXE or SETUP24.EXE. 

The SETUP 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).

To de-install the drivers, use the remove driver option 
from your Windows 9x Network Control Panel. See 
"IV. Removing an Existing Driver".


II. Files Needed for Installation
=================================

The following files are required for installation:

\ATNICM.SYS (NDIS3 driver)*
\ATNICM4.SYS (NDIS4 driver)
\ATNICM5.SYS (NDIS5 driver)
\ATNIC.DOS (NDIS2 driver)
\ATNIC.COM (ODI driver)
\ATINDI.DLL (AUTO NDIS)
\NETATI.INF (OEM setup file for Windows 95b/95c/98)
\WINPREP.EXE (Pre-installation utility)
\NETATI.CPY (Winprep version of netati.inf)
\INFO\WIN95_98.TXT (this file)


III. Automatically Installing the AT-2700/2450.
===============================================

1. Start Windows with no AT-2700/2450 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 loaded the system will required a reboot.
 
3. If the auto-NDIS version is not preferred, the user
   may go into the NIC advance properties and
   select the desired NDIS driver.  However, Windows 
   95, 95a will not accept anything higher than NDIS3  
   and Windows 95b nothing higher than NDIS4.


IV. Manual Installing the AT-2700/2450 with Windows 9x
======================================================

1. With Windows 9x installed as per Microsoft installation 
   instructions, shutdown Windows 9x, power off your 
   computer.

2. Following the instructions in your computer manual for 
   PCI card installation, install your AT-2450 card, and 
   reboot your system.

3. Have the Windows 9x setup CD-ROM disc or floppy 
   diskette(s) available. You will be called on to copy 
   support files for networking. 

4. Windows 9x 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:\". (Read "Files Needed For Installation" 
   eariler in this file for the proper NDIS driver.)
   

   Click OK.

6. When prompted by Windows 9x, insert the Windows 
   installation media. 

7. 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 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 9x at this time. 
   To re-install the NIC driver, complete the steps listed 
   in section III.


VI. 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 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 launch the SETUP utility.

3. The main screen shows a table listing the AT-2700 or
   AT-2450 Ethernet cards installed in the computer. Write
   down the address(es) listed in the "MAC" column of
   the table.
