1-8CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

For point enablers, you have to specify the slot in which a particular PC Card will be used and you have to specify memory locations, interrupt levels, and other parameters. This is not difficult unless you use several PC Cards at different times, in which case you need to make certain that what you specify does not conflict with any other PC Cards installed in your PC.

Autoset Mode

Card and Socket Services turns out to be most helpful when you have a number of PC Cards installed in your PC. If the installation program detects Card and Socket Services in your PC, it will default to Autoset mode.

Autoset mode allows your LAN driver to negotiate with Card and Socket Services for memory space and interrupts every time you switch on your PC. This helps to prevent conflicts with other PC Cards that are installed in your PC; however, you will not know exactly what memory addresses and interrupts you are using.
