CONFIGURING THE

NIC MANUALLY

This chapter describes how to configure the 3C319 NIC manually using the Configuration and Diagnostic Program on TokenDisk diskette #1. Use the procedures in this chapter if:

Your PC does not provide PnP configuration; the BIOS does not have a utility that recognizes and configures PnP-enabled devices

The PnP utility on your PC does not detect and configure the 3C319 NIC

Your network operating system does not support PnP configuration

You need to reconfigure a parameter not set by the PnP BIOS

You need to disable PnP for the 3C319 NIC

You have a system failure while using the Configuration and Diagnostic Program

Change the default configuration for the NIC only if you have conflicts with other devices or cards. (See Table 2-1 for initial settings set by 3Com for configuration options.) For standard settings of commonly used devices, refer to the SYSRESRC.TXT file in the HELP directory on TokenDisk diskette #1.

This chapter does not apply to 3C319 NICs installed in EISA PCs with the AutoSwitch option enabled. To change software option settings in an EISA PC, use the EISA configuration utility provided with the PC.
