HARDWARE SETTINGS

Changing the Settings

The following settings may be changed in the Plug and Play and Jumperless environments.

Medium Type

The transceiver setting depends on the type of card you are using. It should agree with the network cabling type. For combo cards, this program provides two media type selections: Auto Detect and AUI.

If you are using the RJ-45 or BNC connector, you can select “Auto Detect” to have the system automatically determine the media type (i.e., 10BASE-T or 10BASE2). If you are using an AUI connection, then specify 10BASE5 (AUI).

Full Duplex

Enable full-duplex mode only if the card is connected directly to a switch that also supports this mode. Do not enable this mode if the card is connected to a hub.

I/O Base Address (Jumperless Environment only)

Select any available address in the range 200h to 3E0h from the displayed list. The factory default is 300h. The following table represents the most commonly used I/O Base Addresses:

I/O Base	Potential Conflicting Devices and
Addresses	their Typical I/O Addresses
300	NE2000 default setting
320	XT Hard Disk Interface (320 to 32F)
360	LPT1: (378 to 37F) +
