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:
