Adapter Card
INSTALL Main Window
Before the Main window appears, the utility searches for a TNIC
adapter card in the system. If one is not found, an error screen is
displayed telling the user to install the adapter card before using the
utility. If only one Ethernet card is found and a conflict-free
configuration is determined, the Automatic, Custom, and Drivers
buttons are enabled. If more than one card is found or if the
configuration has conflicts, only the Custom and Drivers buttons are
enabled.
Depending on the TNIC adapter card (and the configuration buttons
enabled), the utility allows the user to view and modify the I/O
Address, IRQ Level, and DMA Channel settings and determines
settings that will configure the TNIC card to be compatible with other
card settings in the system.
If multiple adapter cards are present, the INSTALL utility permits the
user to select each adapter card in turn and to modify the adapter
card configuration settings as needed.
