Configuring the Ethernet Interface

The \NET directory of the PA PowerStation’s CompactFlash contains a configuration utility and all drivers necessary to configure the Ethernet interface on the PowerStation. These files are restored when performing a reflash of the compact flash card using the Flashback Utility. A link to the Flashback Utility is listed in the PA Drivers, Documentation, and Utilities CD included with the PA PowerStation.

COM2: Int 3, I/O 2F8

 

Touchscreen: Int 11, I/O 3E8

 

 

NETX.EXE

The Novell Netware shell program that makes the

 

final connection with the server.

 

 

*LSL.COM

A Novell driver that enables the workstation to

 

communicate with different protocols.

 

 

*IPXODI.COM

A Novell driver that supports IPX protocol and other

 

protocols over the same network.

 

 

Plug and Play Pro 100

The Plug and Play interface: 82557

 

 

E100BODI

This driver allows the PowerStation to communicate

 

over a local area network.

 

 

*NETBIOS.EXE

Used by Interact to communicate over a network.

 

 

RSET8019.EXE

Configures interrupts and I/O addresses for the

 

network.

 

 

TCPIP.EXE

Used by the PowerStation for TCP/IP communications.

 

 

TCPIP.INI

Stores settings for TCP/IP communications.

 

 

 

* Denotes files that can be downloaded from Novell’s FTP site.

Interact will also communicate over any network or operating system that supports NetBIOS protocols. Examples include Lantastic, TCP/IP, Microsoft, and IBM.

If you need assistance with NetBIOS and networking, consult your network administrator or a certified network technician.

CompactFlash

The PA PowerStation comes with a CompactFlash (CF) card. The CF is used as a removable hard drive that is recognized as drive C and provides non-
