11. Selecting “OK” in the “Network Setup” panel will create a new set of network
files, that is, PROTOCOL.INI, SYSTEM.INI etc. Click “OK”. The changes
will take effect when you re-start the computer.
The default parameters will work correctly for most configurations. Use defaults if
you do not know what the parameters do.
SPEED (0, 10, 100)
This parameter can be used to specify auto-negotiation of speed (by default), or
to force the adapter to use a specific data range of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
If “0” is specified (or parameter is omitted), the adapter will auto-negotiate the
speed and use the highest possible value.
DUPLEX (AUTO, HALF, FULL)
This parameter can be used to specify auto-negotiation of duplex mode (the
default), or to force the adapter to use a specific duplex setting. If “AUTO” is
specified (or parameter is omitted), the adapter will auto-negotiate the duplex
mode and use the best possible value. In some hubs and switches the auto-
negotiation of duplex mode is unresolved, and the driver defaults to half duplex
operation. Use “FULL” to force full duplex operation.
IOBASE (OPTIONAL)
Indicates the current I/O address configuration of the network adapter. This
setting must match the I/O base address setting for the adapter. This parameter
is used to identify a specific adapter in a PC configuration with several
Ethernet MCA 10/100 Adapters.
NETADDRESS
Use the Network Address field if you do not want to use the network adapter’s
burned in Ethernet address. The value entered must be a locally administered
address, that is of the format “X*XXXXXXXXXX” where “X” is any
hexadecimal digit and “*” is either 2, 6, A or E. For example,
“02123456789A” is a valid network address. If the Olicom network driver
encounters an invalid network address, the invalid network address error
message is posted.
Multiple Adapter Configuration (WfW 3.11)
If installing more than one Ethernet MCA 10/100 Adapter in the same computer,
the network driver must be installed once for each network adapter.
