ONFIGURING
THE
NIC M
ANUALLY
This chapter describes how to configure the 3C319 NIC
manually using the Configuration and Diagnostic Program
on
TokenDisk
diskette #1. Use the procedures in this
chapter if:
■
Your PC does not provide PnP configuration; the BIOS
does not have a utility that recognizes and configures
PnP-enabled devices
■
The PnP utility on your PC does not detect and
configure the 3C319 NIC
■
Your network operating system does not support
PnP configuration
■
You need to reconfigure a parameter not set by the
PnP BIOS
■
You need to disable PnP for the 3C319 NIC
■
You have a system failure while using the
Configuration and Diagnostic Program
Change the default configuration for the NIC only if you
have conflicts with other devices or cards. (See
Table 2-1
for initial settings set by 3Com for configuration options.)
For standard settings of commonly used devices, refer to
the SYSRESRC.TXT file in the HELP directory on
TokenDisk
diskette #1.
This chapter does not apply to 3C319 NICs installed in
EISA PCs with the AutoSwitch option enabled. To change
software option settings in an EISA PC, use the EISA
configuration utility provided with the PC.
