Using LANAID to Configure the 3C389 PC Card

This section explains how to run LANAID to configure the 3C389 PC Card for operation with a device driver. See Chapter 3, “Installing the Network Drivers,” for information on installing device drivers.

If you are using Card and Socket Services, LANAID will default to Autoset mode, which allows the LAN driver to negotiate with Card and Socket Services for available resources. If you do not use Autoset mode, LANAID will allow you to select values for resources to be used by your 3C389 PC Card such as Interrupt and I/O Address.

1From the LANAID main panel, select Network Software.

2In the Network Operating System Choices window, select Identify Existing Network Operating System and click Continue.

The Network Operating System Selection window appears.

LANAID identifies a network operating system and the directory in which the network operating system is installed. Either confirm the displayed choice or select another operating system and type in the path to the network configuration file.

3Click Continue.

The View Adapter Configuration window appears.

There are two folder tabs: Configurable and Hardware. The Configurable folder shows all the parameters you can set along with their current values. Parameters that are in conflict with other settings are noted. The Hardware folder shows parameters of the PC system that you cannot set, but that might be useful.

4Click Suggest to have LANAID suggest non-conflicting values.

If you are not using Card and Socket Services in Autoset mode, you must ensure that the values that you select for Interrupt and I/O address do not conflict with those for other PC Cards installed in your PC.
