B	CONFIGURING SOFTWARE
	SETTINGS

The Fast EtherLink 10/100BASE-T4 PCI adapter is automatically configured by the PCI’s computer’s BIOS with the following basic configuration parameters:

■I/O Port Address

■Interrupt Request Level (IRQ)

This is done automatically when the computer with the installed Fast EtherLink PCI adapter is turned on for the first time after installation of the adapter. Other required parameters are preset on the adapter so that it will function without further action.

Additional default settings can be changed in the following situations:

■You have a boot PROM.

■You want to manually select the network speed for the adapter.

■You want to optimize driver performance for Windows.

■You want to enable the Full Duplex option for 10 Mbps operation.

The Full Duplex setting can only be utilized in a 10 Mbps network with a hub or a switch that supports it.

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