3-4 CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING THE ADAPTER

Software Option Settings

The EISA configuration program automatically configures the following parameters on your EISA adapter:

■Slot Number/Port Address

■Interrupt Request Level

■Boot PROM Enable/Disable

If you need to change the factory-set Media Type,

Network Driver Optimization, or Full Duplex options, use the EtherDisk diskette Configuration and Diagnostic Program.

Table 3-1 lists the default setting and the available settings for the options that you can change. Refer to the on-line help (press [F1] when each option is highlighted) for more information about each of the settings.

When you run the EtherDisk diskette Configuration and Diagnostic Program to change software options, make sure that network drivers or memory managers have not been loaded. If you are using MS-DOS 6.0 or above, you can avoid loading the drivers by pressing [F5] as soon as DOS loads. If you are using an earlier version of DOS, you must boot from a DOS diskette.
