Installing Network Drivers

Power Macintosh Networks

This section explains how to install the Asanté 10NIC-PCI adapter’s Open
Transport driver and the Asanté Ethernet Options control panel on your PCI-
based Power Macintosh computer.

Installing the Open Transport Driver and Ethernet
Options Control Panel

The Asanté Driver Disk includes Asanté’s Open Transport PCI device driver
for the Power Macintosh. This driver supports AppleTalk and TCP/IP proto-
cols simultaneously, as well as true full-duplex operation.

The Driver Disk also includes the Asanté Ethernet Options Control Panel.
Both the driver and the control panel are automatically installed when you
complete the instructions below.

Important!

The Driver Disk is formatted for PCs.

Your Macintosh computer can read the disk if you ensure
that PC Exchange is enabled in the Extensions Manager
and that you do not disable System Extensions while start-
ing your computer (i.e. do not hold down the Shift key dur-
ing startup).
