WINDOWS 95 - ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
This procedure assumes the Crystal LAN CS8900 adpapter and device drivers have been installed as
described in ” Installation for CS8900-based Adapter” . If not, do so now.
1) Start Windows 95 and log on as Administrator or as a user with Administrator's privileges.
2) Go to the "Network" control panel window. Select the "Crystal LAN(tm) CS8900 Ethernet Adapter"
and click on the "Properties" button.
3) Click on the "Advanced" tab. You will be presented with settings for:
a) Cable Type
Select the type of cable you have connected to the adapter. Use the default "Auto Detect" if you
want the driver to automatically determine the type of cable connected to the adapter each time
the driver loads.
b) Duplex Mode
Select the transmission mode you want the adapter to use. It is strongly recommened you use the
default "half-duplex" for CS8900-based adapters unless you are sure of the transmission mode
capabilities of the network equipment to which you will be connecting.
WARNING: Setting a transmission mode that is incompatible with the other equipment on your
network will prevent the adapter from working properly and can adversely affect your entire
network's performance.
c) LoadWithoutCable
Specify the driver's behavior when loading without a cable connected to the adapter. The default
"No" will cause the driver to report an error and unload if a cable is not connected to the Crystal
LAN(tm) adapter. Selecting "Yes" will allow the driver to load without a cable connected.
NOTE: This setting is ignored if the driver is configured to "Auto Detect" the cable type. You must
specify the cable type before the driver will load without a cable.
d) NetworkAddress
If you want to override the adapter's assigned Ethernet Address, enter the 12 hex-digit locally
administered address in the "NetworkAddress" field. Otherwise, leave this field blank.
NOTE: Only assign a local Ethernet Address in accordance with IEEE 802.2 specifications. A
universally administered Ethernet Address is assigned at the factory and is used by default.
e) SerialNumber
If you are installing more than one Crystal ISA Ethernet Adapter in the same PC, you must
specify the serial number for each adapter. If you are installing a single adapter in this PC, this
field is optional (leave blank).
4) Set each property to the desired value and click "OK".
5) Click the "OK" button on the "Network" control panel window to update the required files.
6) Shut down and restart Windows 95 for all changes to take effect.
