CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
This chapter contains instructions for preparing and installing
your Cabletron Systems E2200 Series Full-Duplex Ethernet
network adapter into your computer, and connecting the primary
media port to a twisted pair Ethernet segment. The next chapter,
Secondary Media
, provides instructions for connecting the
adapter’s secondary media port to various types of Ethernet
network segments.
2.1
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The E2200 Series adapters are designed for any computer that
supports ISA or EISA Bus architecture. Installation of the
Cabletron E2200 Series network adapters is simple and
straightforward.
2.1.1
Plug and Play Compatibility
The E2200 type Ethernet network adapters are “
Plug and Play
”
compatible. Plug and Play is most often implemented in the
computer’s system BIOS, or the operating system proper (as in
Microsoft Windows 95™).
Each E2200 Series adapter is shipped with a factory default
configuration stored in the adapter’s configuration EEPROM. If
the preset default Plug and Play parameters are not satisfactory for
your specific system requirements, and your system ’s Plug and
Play BIOS cannot resolve the conflict, contact Cabletron Technical
Support (See page 1-2,
Getting Help
).
