Software Option Settings

The EISA configuration utility automatically configures the following parameters on the Fast Ethernet EISA adapter:

■Slot Number/Port Address

■Interrupt Request Level

■Boot PROM Enable/Disable

■I/O Port Address

If you need to change the factory-set Media Type, Network Driver Optimization, or Full Duplex (10 Mbps only) options, use the EtherDisk diskette Configuration and Diagnostic Program.

Table 3-1 lists the default setting and the available settings. Refer to the on-line help (press [F1]) when each option is highlighted) for more information about each of the settings.

When you run the EtherDisk diskette Configuration and Diagnostic Program to change software options, make sure that no network drivers or memory managers have been loaded. If you are using MS-DOS®6.0 or later, you can avoid loading the drivers by pressing [F5] as soon as you see the message “Loading MS-DOS.” If you are using a version of MS-DOS below 6.0, boot your computer from a DOS diskette.
