WINDOWS NT
1) Install the adapter and boot Windows NT.
2) If required to log on, do so as Administrator or as a user with Administrator's privileges.
3) After Windows NT has finished booting, open the "Main" window from the Program Manager.
4) Open the "Control Panel" window and double-click on the "Network" icon in the Control Panel
window.
5) If the message: ”Windows NT Networking is not installed. Install it now?” is displayed, reply
” Yes” , otherwise continue with step 6.
When prompted, choose ” Do Not Detect” network adapter and then ” Continue” . Continue the
installation with step 7.
6) Continue with the "Network Settings" dialog by clicking the "Add Adapter" button.
7) From the "Add Network Adapter" dialog, click the down arrow on the "Network Adapter Card" list
box. Select "<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer" at the end of the adapter list. Click the
"Continue" button.
8) When prompted, insert the "CS8900 Setup and Device Driver Software" diskette in drive A: and
click on "OK" to accept the default path of A:\.
9) Select "Crystal LAN(tm) Family Ethernet Adapter" and click on "OK".
10) If you are installing more than one Crystal ISA Ethernet Adapter in the same PC, enter the serial
number for the adapter you are installing when prompted. If you are only installing a single
adapter in this PC you may leave this field blank. Click on the "Continue" button when finished.
11) If you want to override the adapter's assigned Ethernet Address, enter the 12 hex-digit locally
administered address in the "NetworkAddr" field. Otherwise, leave this field blank. Click on
"Continue" when finished.
NOTE: Only assign a local Ethernet Address in accordance with IEEE 802.2 specifications. A
universally administered Ethernet Address is assigned at the factory and is used by default.
12) Select the type of cable you have connected to the adapter. Use the default "Auto Detect" if you
want the driver to automatically determine the cable type connected to the adapter each time the
driver loads.
13) Select the transmission mode you want the adapter to use. It is strongly recommened you use
the default "half-duplex" for CS8900-based adapters unless you are sure of the transmission
mode capabilities of the network equipment to which you will be connecting.
WARNING: Setting a transmission mode that is incompatible with the other equipement on your
network will prevent the adapter from working properly and can adversely affect your entire
network's performance.
14) Specify the driver's behavior when loading without a cable connected to the adapter. The default
"No" will cause the driver to report an error and unload if a cable is not connected to the Crystal
LAN(tm) adapter. Selecting "Yes" will allow the driver to load without a cable connected.
NOTE: This setting is ignored if the driver is configured to "Auto Detect" the cable type. You must
specify the cable type before the driver will load without a cable.
15) Accept the default "Bus Type" and "Bus Number" from the "Bus Location" dialog and click the
"OK" button. Windows NT will copy the required driver files to your hard drive and return you to
the "Network Settings" Control Panel.
