How to See MAC Address 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. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.Download Driver Pack
