DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card User's Guide
Software Installation

is 5, and that is ordinarily a suitable value. The second parameter is
a list of the data frame formats that the DFE-650 and the client
software will be enabled to handle. The default setting enables four
different frame types. That is the maximum range of frame types,
and that is the most appropriate choice in most environments.
The last parameter,
Node Address
, should ordinarily be left
blank, as well. It provides for entry of an alias hardware address,
which is rarely needed.
When your entries are settled, key
<Esc>
to continue.
"Installation Configuration Summary" Screen
This is the last screen before the automatic portion of the
installation. It offers a default target path/directory name, and
allows for your option/permission to automatically alter the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
If the offered default path/directory name for the installation is not
acceptable, then key in the path/directory name of your choice. In
all events, make a note of the path/directory name, which will be
needed in the "Edit STARTNET.BAT" section, below.
The permission choice is captioned
Modify AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS:
If you elect
Yes
, then a STARTNET.BAT command will be added
into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. In that case, the network
software will automatically be loaded each time you power up the
notebook PC.
If you elect
No
, then it will be necessary for you to enter the
STARTNET.BAT
command manually at the DOS prompt any
time that you want to enable the notebook PC for network
operation. If you want to maximize your notebook PC's resources
which will be available during off-line operations, just choose
No
