CS8900 Technical Reference Manual
5) Use the Adapter/Manual configura-
tion options to manually override any of
the recommended configurations setting
shown by the Auto Configuration
screen. See section 4.3.1.2 for more de-
tails.
6) Use Diagnostics/Self Test to test the
functionality of the card. See section
4.3.1.3.
7) Use the Driver/Install screen to load
the desired drivers. See section 4.3.1.4.
8) Use the Diagnostic/Network Test
screen to test the ability of the card to
communicate across the Ethernet with
another CS8900-based card which is
also running the DOS Setup and Instal-
lation Utility. See section 4.3.1.5.
4.3.1.1 Adapter/Auto Configuration
Screen
This screen shows the current configu-
ration settings for the card. For a brief
description of the configuration parame-
ters, see section 4.3.1.2.
The user must determine if the displayed
settings are appropriate for the system,
and whether these setting will cause
conflicts with any other card in the PC.
If all of these setting are appropriate,
then the user selects the “CONFIG” op-
tion which will save these settings into
the EEPROM. The user can then exit the
screen. If any of these settings are not
appropriate, then the user should exit
this screen without selecting CONFIG
and then open the Manual Configuration
screen.
4.3.1.2 Adapter/Manual Configura-
tion Screen
This function allows the user to manu-
ally assign system resources and other
CS8900 features. The user is required to
know what system resources can be used
without conflicts to other devices.
The current values for the parameters
appear on the screen the first time this
screen is selected. The settings can then
be modified.
A description of the parameters shown
on the screen are the following. Side
screens shows typical setting values
which may be used for each parameter.
•
I/O Port Address describes the base
address and address range used on the
ISA bus to access the CS8900-based
card. The base address of 0300h is
commonly used for LAN cards.
•
Interrupt Request (IRQ) identifies the
interrupt used by the CS8900 to
communicate with the system soft-
ware over the PC bus. The chosen
IRQ must be uniquely assigned to the
CS8900.
•
DMA channel - Describes the DMA
channel to be used for DMA-only
mode , auto-switch DMA mode and
Stream Transfer™ mode.
•
Shared memory describes the mem-
ory base address used if memory
mode is selected. In memory mode,
memory reads/writes are being util-
ized to transfer data between the sys-
tem and the CS8900. A 4K block of
memory needs to be assigned.
