Configure drivers

DOS and Windows 3.1 setup for Novell NetWare clients

Test the adapter and install network drivers.

Although not required

for operation, it’s a good idea to run diagnostic tests every time

you install an adapter. Allied Telesyn’s SETUP program lets you

test the adapter to see if there are any problems with the

adapter hardware, the cabling, or the network connection.

SETUP can automatically install NetWare DOS ODI client

drivers for you or display a README file with installation

instructions for other network drivers.

1. If your computer already has Allied Telesyn AT-2560TX

10/100 PCI or AT-2560FX 100 PCI network drivers

installed, restart the computer without loading them. If the

drivers are loaded from the

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file, type REM

in front of each line that loads a network driver. Or, with

DOS 6.x or later, press as DOS starts, to bypass the

lines.

2. Insert the Allied Telesyn CardAssistant diskette in a

floppy drive, switch to that drive, and at the DOS prompt,

type

SETUP

3. If you have more than one AT-2560 adapter in your

computer, an adapter selection menu appears on the

screen. Select the adapter you want by noting the Ethernet

address. See page 17 for more information on multiple

adapters.

4. Select Automatic setup from the Main menu. Then follow

the instructions on the screen. (If you want to test the

adapter with a responder on the network, see the next

procedure.)

SETUP displays the adapter’s configuration and then runs

a series of diagnostic tests that makes sure the adapter and

network are functioning properly. If SETUP finds a prob-

lem, it displays the results and some possible solutions.
