Using IBM Drivers

Since the 3C319 NIC is fully IBM-compatible you can use drivers for IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapters.

Obtain IBM token ring drivers for the 3C319 NIC in one of the following ways:

■Copy the IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapter drivers supplied with your network operating system.

■Use the IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapter drivers in IBM’s LAN Support Program version 1.2 or later.

With IBM drivers, use only IBM-compatible settings.

To use the IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapter drivers supplied with your network operating system, copy them to your PC and follow the instructions that accompany the network operating system.

Using Remote Program Load (RPL)

The Remote Program Load capability included with the 3C319 NIC allows you to load boot images from Novell NetWare, IBM LAN Server, Microsoft LAN Manager, and Banyan VINES servers.

If RPL is enabled on the NIC and on the network server, the PC can boot from a server on the token ring network using the conﬁgured NIC. This eliminates the need to use local drives or diskettes.

RPL can be disabled to allow the PC to boot from its hard disk using 3Com’s 3TRDIAG program. You can also use IBM’s installation and RPL operation documentation for 3C319 NIC procedures.

The RPL capability can only be used with:

■I/O base addresses A20h or A24h

■Shared RAM address D8000
