5-2CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE NIC MANUALLY

Before Using the Configuration and Diagnostic Program

To configure the 3C319 NIC, the NIC must be already installed in your PC and connected to the network, as described in Chapter 2.

The Configuration and Diagnostic Program is a DOS application that will not function properly if the 3C319 drivers are already installed.

The Configuration and Diagnostic Program indicates memory conflicts if you run it with a memory manager without excluding the memory range used by the 3C319 NIC. Before you run the Configuration and Diagnostic Program, you must bypass the drivers and the /memory manager. Use a DOS diskette if you are running DOS 5.0 or earlier.

If you are running Windows NT, perform a clean boot from the DOS partition, or boot from a DOS diskette to run the diagnostic program. If you use Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups, exit Windows and restart the PC in MS-DOS mode, or boot from a floppy that has the operating system installed on it.

Before starting, make sure that you have performed a clean DOS boot according to the instructions in the preceding section, “Before Using the Configuration and Diagnostic Program.” To configure the 3C319 NIC in a PC without PnP support, follow these steps:

1Insert TokenDisk diskette #1 in a floppy drive (for example, the A drive) on your PC, and at the DOS prompt type:

a:[Enter]

2At the prompt, type: install [Enter]

The first time you use the installation software, a software license screen appears.
