Overview of Process
Be sure to plan out settings and configuration information, in advance. Here's a summary:
1. Find out what hub and mode your LAN uses and decide which settings your 3C507TP or
your TPAU should be set to, according to the charts below. Set the jumpers on the 3C507TP.
2. Look at your server's Add/Change Card screen. Write down all existing cards and settings
listed.
3. Note whether I/O address 100 is already being used. Change the address to something other
than 100 and write that down. If the card is a Banyan ICA card, use I/O 120, 140, 160, 180,
or other address.
4. Add the 3C507 or 3C507TP to the Add/Change Card screen by selecting 3Com EtherLink 16
from the scrolling list; enter the settings for the card (see page 4 of this guide).
5. Shut down your server normally.
6. Open the server case. If you changed a previously installed card from I/O address 100, and
that card requires setting jumper cables on a card, remove the card, reconfigure the jumpers,
and reinstall it.
7. ISA-based server: Install the 3C507 into the server. CNS server: you must configure the card
in a DOS-based machine prior to installing it.
8. Reboot the server (or workstation where you're configuring card for CNS) with DOS boot
diskette. Configure the card using the 3Com507 or 507TP utility.
9. Make sure the settings on the TPAU are correct before connecting to the network.
10. Connect the TTP (telephone twisted pair) to the TPAU or to the RJ-45 port in the 3C507TP.
