Plug & Play Note
Our Plug&Play ethernet adapter supports AUTO, jumperless/PnP and
jumper modes. You can set the adapter's mode to jumper mode or to
AUTO/jumperless/PnP mode by the jumper on the card. The default mode
is AUTO mode for ver 3.x or PnP mode for ver 2.x. You can set
the adapter's mode to AUTO, jumperless or PnP by running setup.exe
program provided in this driver diskette.
For ver 3.x adapters, it is recommended to use AUTO mode always. The
adapter will be set to the appropriate mode according to your system,
regardless the system is PnP or non-PnP system.
For ver 2.x adapters, it is recommended to use PnP mode if your PC
supports PnP feature, or it is recommended to use jumperless mode
if the PC does not support PnP feature.
If you set the adapter to Plug&Play mode and your PC does NOT support
PnP BIOS, this adapter may work correctly only under Windows 95
and DOS environment with our drivers. This adapter may not work
with any NE2000 compatible drivers because it is without any I/O base
address and interrupt. In this case, You can set the operating
mode of this adapter to jumperless and then setup the interrupt
and I/O address. The configuration setup can be done by the
setup.exe program provided in this diskette.
If you set the adapter to Plug&Play mode and your PC DOES support PnP
BIOS, The BIOS will auto-setup your adapter configuration. You don't
need to set up the adapter's configuration any more. If there is any
legacy ISA adapters as well as PnP adapters in your PC, Your PC's
PnP BIOS perhaps connot auto-setup adapters' configuration
correctly. The configuration of PnP adapters will potentially
conflict with ISA adapters'. Your PC will potentially not work
after you install a Plug&Play card. You must setup the configuration
manually to prevent from resources conflict. There are many tools can
be used to setup the configuration, such as BIOS's setup, CM.EXE
configuration manager program provided by Intel and our setup.exe
program for our PnP ethernet cards.
If you set the adapter to PnP mode, Windows 95 will prompt you to
install the driver when Windows 95 starts up. You can install
driver either from this driver diskette or from Windows 95. The driver
provided in this diskette is a specially designed turbo driver with
parallel tasking features. The performancce of our driver is better.
It is recommended to use the driver in this disk for our Plug&Play
adapter instead of any other NE2000 compatible drivers. Windows 95
will auto-detect your adapter configuration. You don't need to
set up the adapter configuration any more. If there are some ISA
adapters as well as PnP adapters in your PC, your PC's BIOS
perhaps connot auto-setup adapters' configuration correctly.
The configuration of PnP adapters will pontentially conflict
with ISA adapters'. You will be prompted to change the
configuration of PnP adapters by Windows 95 if any configuration
conflict occurs. You must set up your PnP adapters manually to
prevent from the resource conflict.
