Installation and Configuration Options

1-2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

The 3C619C adapter can be configured in one of two modes: 3Com mode or IBM mode. 3Com mode increases the number of available IRQ channels from 4 to 8 and the number of I/O base addresses from 2 to 32. You can install up to six adapters per PC. 3Com drivers (NovellNetWareand NDIS) are supplied on the TokenDisk diskette to support these 3Com mode enhancements.

IBM mode provides the same configuration options as IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapters: four IRQ channels and two I/O base addresses. You can use either 3Com drivers or IBM drivers with the adapter in IBM mode.

Installation and Configuration Options

The software on the TokenDisk diskette provides three methods for installing the adapter:

AutoLink installation

Standard installation and configuration

MicrosoftWindows NTand Windows95 installation and configuration

Figure 1-1 depicts the installation process, including the cabling and network operating system options. The chapters listed contain detailed information for that step.

The three installation methods are described in the following sections.

AutoLink Installation

The AutoLink program can be used to make your PC a NetWare DOS ODI client. The AutoLink program configures and tests the 3C619C adapter, installs the client driver and NetWare client files, and modifies PC startup files to allow you to log in to a NetWare server after you reboot your PC. For more information about the AutoLink feature, see Chapter 3, “Using the AutoLink Feature for NetWare.”
