2. Click 'Start', select 'Run', and enter 'winmsd'. Click 'OK'.
3. After winmsd is loaded, click the 'Resources' tab. This will show you the currently used interrupts and I/O settings.
4. Locate an unused interrupt and I/O setting; be sure to write them down, as you will need them again. (The PCX20 requires one interrupt (IRQ) in the range of 3-7and 9, and 16 consecutive I/O addresses in the range of 100 - 3F0. For example, IRQ5 and I/O 300-30F.)
5. Shut down windows and turn off computer.
6. Set the jumpers on your card to match the settings selected above (see manual) and place it in the machine.
7. Restart machine. Open the Control Panel and double click the 'Network' icon.

12. Select the interrupt you have chosen in the provided drop down box.
13. In the Node Id section either enter a value from 1- 255 decimal or select 'dip switch'. This will cause the dip switch on the card to be used as the node id.
14. Under cable type choose the coax setting.
15. For the Advance settings, click 'Advanced'. The screen CCSI Arcnet Adapter Advanced Configuration, will then be shown.
16. Under data rate select your desired data rate. Note the PCX20-CXS, PCX20-CXB and PCX20-TPB MUST be set to 2.5 Mbps. PCX20/5 cards will operate at twice the data rate shown (see manual for data rate selection). If operating the PCX20/5 at 5Mbps you should check the Slow Arbitration box.
17. Extend time outs are used for larger networks. Set at normal for standard applications.
18. Under slow arbitration only check this if using a PCX20/5 at 5Mbps.
19. Checking command chaining will provide a slightly faster ARCNET Communications.
20. When changes are complete, Click 'OK', this will bring you back to the setup screen.
21. Click 'OK' in the setup screen, after verifying information.
22. Binding will now begin, the computer may ask for IP address, enter it and Click 'OK'.
23. Click 'Bindings' tab. Select all adapters from the drop down list and click the '+' in front of PCX20 ARCNET Adapter.
24. Insure the desired protocols are bound to the PCX20 driver (we suggest protocol TCP/IP). If not, load the appropriate protocols and again verify the proper protocols are bound to the PCX20.
25. Click 'Close'. If the Microsoft TCP/IP properties screen appears, enter the IP address.
26. Restart computer. If Windows present a message stating that a driver failed run the event viewer. If a PCX20 event is listed verify settings on the PCX20 and driver
screens.
27. Click 'Start', select 'Run' and enter 'winmsd'. Click 'OK'.
28. Click 'Resources' tab, verify PCX20 is listed under resources.
29. If card is listed under resources used you are done.
30. If the card is not listed verify the I/O and interrupt settings selected. If ok then
reinstall the driver. If reinstalling you need to remove the adapter driver before
reinstalling.
