The Windows NT CD/disks are need to complete this installation
From the "Main" window, select Control Panel
In the Control Panel, select Network Icon
In the Network Setup, select Add Adapter
Windows NT will display a list of all available drivers.
Select "OTHERS" for third-party adapters not included in the list.
The program prompts for the directory containing the Ethernet drivers.
Specify the full path of driver,ie. C:<PATH> (C:\NT31)
OR
Insert the driver diskette in Drive A, and then type the following
A:\NT31
Windows NT will attempt to locate the OEMSETUP.INF file in the
specified path. If it exists there, Windows NT will then copy the
appropriate drivers to the Windows NT system.
The drivers are now properly installed. The installation procedure
will then proceed to the next steps. Please refer to your Windows NT
installation guide for information on these steps.
A window will appear allowing you to specify your network connection
type and specify the network address.
Choose the " [TE100/TEPCI]:AutoSense" option. The driver will
auto-detect the media that is connecting to the adapter.
Add nothing in the NetworkAddress field. The driver will use the
default unique ethernet address that written in the adapter's
PROM. If you want to change the ethernet address use the following
format:
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
OR
xxxxxxxxxxxx
After the initial installation, the drivers will be permanently
installed to the Windows NT system. Subsequent accesses to the
network driver list will include these drivers as options.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
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.
