Linksys HPN100SK manual No Changes Allowed, Jumper Changes, Plug-and-Play Bios list

Linksys HomeLink Series

2.When using NT, make sure your BIOS settings for your operating system are not set for a Plug-and-Play operating system. Since NT is not a Plug-and- Play operating system, it will not usually recognize LAN cards if they are set to be automatically detected and configured. If you need to configure your PC's BIOS in order to resolve an IRQ or other conflict with the HomeLink Card, here are a few possibilities:

No Changes Allowed

Your PC’s BIOS may not allow you to change the IRQ value(s) of the PCI slot(s). In this case, you will ONLY be able to use the IRQ and I/O values that have been preassigned to each slot. The popular BIOS from Phoenix, for example, may not allow you to modify BIOS-assigned IRQ settings.

Jumper Changes

You may be able to change the IRQ & I/O values for a given PCI slot by set- ting jumpers on your PC motherboard. Please refer to your PC's motherboard user guide for specific instructions.

	Note: Moving the HomeLink Network
Menu Changes	Card to a different slot may change
	the settings for the Card.

Your PC may allow you to change the IRQ

values, and in some cases even I/O values, for a given PCI slot by accessing the PC's BIOS setup menu. See your PC's user guide for specific details.

Plug-and-Play BIOS list

Generally, all computers with Pentium, Pentium II or Pentium III (or compati- ble, such as AMD’s ) processors have a Plug-and-Play BIOS. Here’s a list of BIOS that meet the Plug-and-Play requirements if you’re not sure:

•Phoenix 4.04 or higher

•Award 4.50 PG or higher

•AMI dated after September 94

If your BIOS is not listed above, it does not necessarily mean that your BIOS is not Plug-and-Play compatible. Consult your PC’s documentation or contact your PC’s manufacturer to find out about your particular situation.

Phoneline Network Card & Network in a Box

Windows 95 Version A Driver Setup

1.Start your Windows 95 PC, which will detect the HomeLink Phoneline Network Card and display a New Hardware Found window.

2.Make sure the HomeLink CD is in your CD-ROM drive. Select the “Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer” option on the screen, then click OK. When asked for the files’ location, type D:\win95a and click OK.

3.Windows will copy the appropriate files onto your PC. If Windows asks you to supply your original Windows 95 installation CD or setup files, enter the path for those files on your hard drive (e.g., A:\, D:\WIN95, C:\Windows\options\cabs, etc.) Linksys only provides two files, NETAMDHL.INF and PCNTN3HL.SYS in d:\Win95a; Microsoft provides all other files.
