Install multiple adapters

Use the Ethernet address to match the adapter to the slot

number when configuring multiple adapters. For your reference,

we’ve printed the adapter’s Ethernet address on a sticker on the

back edge of the adapter. The Ethernet address is sometimes

called the Node address or the MAC address.

For a Novell server, repeat the procedure under “Test the

adapter and install network drivers” on page 13 for each adapter

you want to install. For a Windows NT server, repeat the

procedure under “NT 4.0—install network drivers” on page 10

for each adapter you want to install.

While the Allied Telesyn A2560SET program can detect all the

AT-2560 adapters in your computer, you still need to perform

each installation process before you can use them.

Configure for full duplex support (optional)

Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the

adapter sends and receives packets over the network.

There are three duplex modes:

❑ Auto-negotiate (AT-2560TX 10/100 PCI only). The

adapter negotiates with the hub how to send and receive

packets, either full or half duplex.
