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.
