ATI AT-2560 Series PCI adapters
===============================


Full duplex support
-------------------

Full duplex is an optional setting that can improve adapter performance.
To run the adapter at full duplex, you need to be connected
to a full duplex switching hub.

If your TX hub supports auto-negotiation, adapter and hub
will negotiate to select the best mode. If your hub does not support
auto-negotiation, you need to manually change to full duplex. Refer to
the Installation Guide or the "Duplex Support" README file for complete
instructions.



EMM386
------

If using Microsoft's EMM386 memory manager, use EMM386 version 4.49 or
later. This version is included with DOS version 6.22.



Busmaster slots
---------------

You must install the adapter in a busmaster slot. If the driver fails to
load or diagnostics fail, try moving the adapter to a different slot. If
you're not sure if your slots are busmaster enabled, see your computer's
documentation.



PCI BIOS
--------

Make sure you're using the latest BIOS for your computer. See the help
file called "PCI installation" under the "Adapter installation and
special configurations" section for a list of phone numbers of the
leading PCI computer manufacturers.



PCI shared interrupts
---------------------

The server and DOS ODI client drivers for the AT-2560 PCI adapters 
support shared interrupts. However, because there
is no industry-standard way to support shared interrupts, other adapters
may support them differently, or not at all. You may notice this when you
install the AT-2560 PCI adapter or when you install another add-in PCI
card at a later date.

If you think you have another PCI adapter that doesn't support shared
interrupts (for example, a SCSI adapter), contact its manufacturer for a
shared interrupt driver. Or, try running your computer's CMOS Setup
program to assign a different interrupt to the other adapter.




Configuring your PCI BIOS
-------------------------

Some computers allow you to configure various BIOS parameters. If you
have problems installing your adapter, run the BIOS setup program and, if
possible, set these parameters:

  Interrupt type:   level-triggered

  PCI slots:   enable

These should already be the default settings.




Compaq Deskpro* XL
------------------

To work with the AT-2560 PCI adapter, this computer
needs a BIOS/ROM dated October 1994 or later. Earlier versions of the
BIOS won't configure the adapter correctly.

See the help file section "Adapter installation and special
configurations" for Compaq's phone number and instructions on updating
the BIOS/ROM. Run SETUP.EXE on the Configuration and Driver disk to view
the help file.




NetWare 3.11 Servers
--------------------

On NetWare 3.11 servers, the driver won't operate correctly unless you
modify the server's STARTUP.NCF to include:

SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 1536       (or larger)

This specifies the size for preallocated server buffers. See the NetWare
3.11 installation instructions for more details.




Using LANDesk(R) Traffic Analyst 2.0
------------------------------------

If you're using LANDesk Management Suite 2.0 and a Novell DOS ODI client
driver on your workstation, load RXMONSTK.COM (supplied by Novell) after
loading LSL. Also, be sure you have updated VMON.386 dated 12-14-95 which
supports the latest NetWare ODI client specification (v4.0). 



SETUP
-----

Use SETUP.EXE utility on the Configuration and Drivers disk to
automatically install the DOS ODI driver, run diagnostics, get help with
installation problems, and to view information and help files.

You must use SETUP.EXE version 3.03 or later with this adapter. Previous
version of SETUP.EXE will not work.
