Installing Multiple Adapters
All users: The adapter’s 12-digit, hexadecimal Ethernet address is on a
sticker on the motherboard near the LAN controller chip. The Ethernet
address is sometimes called the node address or the MAC address.
Note that the PCI slot number may not correspond with the physical
connector in your computer. Install only one active WOL adapter per
computer. You can install additional, non-WOL adapters.
NetWare users: The server drivers use the PCI slot number to identify
each installed adapter. You can correlate the PCI slot number to the
adapter by using the Ethernet address that is printed on a label on the
adapter. Run Setup from the Intel disk to view the Ethernet address and
slot number for each installed adapter. For more information, see the
README files. NetWare 4.11 server installations use unique slot
numbers that are assigned during sever setup.
Windows NT and Windows 95 users: Repeat the configuration proce-
dure for each adapter you want to install (add only one adapter at a
time). While PROSet can detect all the PRO/100B adapters in your
computer, you still need to perform the configuration process on each
adapter. In Windows NT, be sure to click the Show all PRO Adapters
box in the Configuration window. See the README file for more
information.
Select Duplex Mode (optional)
Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the adapter
sends and receives data packets over the network. The PRO/100B TX
adapter can operate at full duplex only when connected to a full duplex
10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX switching hub, or another full duplex
adapter. To summarize:
• Auto (requires a full duplex adapter or switching hub with auto-
negotiation capability). The adapter negotiates with the hub to send and
receive packets at the highest rate. This is the default setting. If the hub
