Step 4. Configure the Micro Channel SYNC/570i-56
NOTE
Skip this step if you have an ISA card.
Configure the SYNC/570i-56 through your computer’s Micro Channel Programmable Options Select (POS) system, using
data from the Digi Adapter Definition File (ADF) on the diagnostic diskette. This system uses hardware registers, selected
and loaded through software, to assign system resources to an expansion board. Each type of expansion board has its own
unique code number, assigned in conjunction with the computer manufacturer, which identifies it to the system. (If you
cannot determine the proper setup information, check with an operating system vendor or Digi Customer Support.)
NOTE
Refer to your computer system documentation for information on the Programmable Option Select.
a. Install the board as described in Step 3.
b. Determine which .ADF file on the Digi Diagnostics Diskette you need for configuration. Refer to the note below for
an explanation of the files. If necessary, copy and rename the file you need.
NOTE
The diagnostics diskette actually contains three ADF files: @6163.ADF, @6163.AD1, and @6163.AD2. The files @6163.ADF
and @6163.AD1 are identical. (This ADF file is the one that is copied to your reference diskette.)
The .ADF and .AD1 files contain the most commonly used configurations.
The @6163.AD2 file contains every possible option for configuration.
If you wish to use the .AD2 file, you must copy the file to the reference diskette as @6163.ADF. Since the reference diskette will
copy only the .ADF file, copy the file to another diskette and rename it .ADF.
c. Reboot the computer with the backup copy of your computer system's reference diskette. The computer will show error
165 and beep twice. Continue as instructed.
d. Follow the instructions shown on the screen to select the mode necessary to manually set the configuration—do not
use the automatic configuration. (The instructions for manual configuration will vary for computers made by different
manufacturers.)
e. When you are prompted to copy the new adapter files, insert the Digi Diagnostics Diskette.
f. Press ENTER. The computer will read the @6163.ADF file.
g. At the prompt, remove the diagnostics disk and reinsert the reference diskette.
h. Press ENTER. The file @6163.ADF copies to the reference disk.
i. Follow the instructions shown on the screen to set or change the configuration for the Digi SYNC/570i-56.
j. Select the I/O address, memory address, and IRQ from the list of addresses and interrupt lines shown.
k. Follow the instructions to save the configuration you have chosen and to exit the program.
l. Remove the copy of the reference diskette.
