Reconfiguring the NIC

87

Reconfiguring the NIC

EISA PCs come with an automatic configuration program 
that allocates resources to each installed hardware device 
in the PC.

Changing an ISA NIC to EISA mode enables the NIC to be 
configured by the EISA configuration program for correct 
EISA PC settings.

You can configure an ISA NIC for EISA mode only if the NIC 
is installed in an EISA slot.

If you have configured an ISA NIC for an EISA PC, the 
PROTOCOL.INI file looks for the parameter SLOT=number 
rather than the I/O base address. The SLOT number is 
required only if you have multiple NICs installed.

The following procedures are general. If you require 
more detail, see the configuration documentation that 
accompanied your PC.

Changing NIC Configuration from ISA to EISA

Follow these steps to configure the 3C509B ISA NIC for 
an EISA PC:

1 Run the installation program as described in the 

preceding section, “

Configuring the NIC

.”

2 From the main menu of the installation program, 

select

 Configuration and Diagnostic Program

.

3 If you have more than one NIC installed, use the 

arrow keys to select the NIC you want to configure. 
Tab to the 

Select

 button and press Enter.

A screen identifying the NIC is displayed with the 

Test 

menu bar item highlighted.

4 Use the arrow keys to select 

Install

. The 

Configure NIC

 option is selected. Press Enter.
