Ethernet ELITE 16 Adapter  (260-5506)     Setup         Faxback Doc. # 5156

A. If the values associated with the default configuration or the other pre-
   assigned jumper setting conflicts with another board or computer func-
   tion, set the jumper at W1 to SOFT and run the software setup program to
   select a workable configuration.
  
  1. Setup should be run before installing network software.  If there is
     software already loaded, either remove the connecting lines in the
     CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files or rename those files and reboot the
     system.
   
  2. If a single adapter is to be installed, the setup program will find it
     automatically.  If there is more than one adapter, you must tell the
     setup program which one to configure.  Each Ethernet adapter can be
     identified by its 12-character node address (located on the NETWORK
     ADDRESS label attached to the adapter), or by its I/O base address.
   
  3. Software changes can be made without the jumpers at W1 or W2 being
     configured for SOFT.  However, the values entered in the setup program
     will not take affect until the hardware change has been made.

B.  Use the software setup program to configure the adapter ONLY if:

  1. Neither of the two preconfigured W1 jumper settings are suitable be-
     cause of conflicts with other devices,
  2. You are installing more than two adapters in the same computer, thus
     requiring more than two configurations, or
  3. You wish to configure twisted pair to disable link integrity.

C.  There are two methods to utilize the setup program.
    
  1. Interactive Method prompts you step by step.
       
     A. Place software driver diskette in floppy drive and change to the
        prompt for that drive.
     B. Type EZSETUP [enter] and follow the instructions.
   
  2. Command Line Method is used when you are familiar with the EZSETUP and
     want to skip the prompts.  The command line consists of three com-
     ponents.  The command, the adapter identification (required only when
     more than one adapter is installed), and the configuration parameters.
     
     A. The adapter identification can be either the I/O base address or
        the node address.
     B. The command for identifying the adapter using the node address is
        /node:x, where x is the adapter's 12-digit node address.
     C. In the example below, the command EZSETUP starts the program, the
        adapter identification, if needed, tells the system which adapter
        to configure, and the remaining information specifies the para-
        meters.

NOTE:  If you omit a configuration parameter from the command line, the pro-
       gram uses the default.  It will not retain anything you have previous-
       ly changed unless it is included in the command line.

Example #  Command Lines
   1       ezsetup /irq:5 /ram:C8000
   2       ezsetup /io:240 /newio:280 /irq:5 /ram:C0000 /rom:D0000

In example #1, there is only one adapter being used, so no ID is necessary.
The IRQ was changed to 5 and the RAM to C8000.

In example #2, the I/O was changed to 280, the IRQ to 5, the RAM to C0000,
and the ROM to D0000.

To obtain a list of all valid commands, type:   /?

Any combination of upper and lower case letters is valid.
