4. Select the Interrupt Assignment. Be sure to avoid any interrupts used by other

interfaces in the system.

5. Select the Physical Media cabled up: only 10-Base-T is available for the EPC-8.

6. Select the Adapter architecture. Use "I/O Port" for NE2000 mode, or use "Shared

Memory" for Western Digital mode.

7. Skip the Boot PROM prompt. It does not apply to the EPC-8.

8. Save the configuration to the on-board memory only if your system is currently

not connected to the network. If you are experiencing difficulties, save as

temporary changes to determine if they work correctly, then run AUTOSET

again and save the changes as permanent.

9. Run Diagnostics to verify the setup. If using Western Digital mode, specify a

shared memory base address to be used during diagnostics. Also, to guard against

conflicts, exit Diagnostics and check that any EMM386 entries in the

CONFIG.SYS file and SYSTEM.INI file (if using Windows) both exclude the

memory assignment to the Ethernet controller. The default memory exclusion

range is DC00-EFFF. If the system does not pass the Diagnostics, try again,

changing the indicated parameters.

10. Press ESC to return to the previous menu.

If only one Ethernet controller is to be installed, the configuration procedure is

complete. Exit the AUTOSET program and turn to Appendix K, Configuring the

Ethernet Drivers.

The responses entered from the AUTOSET configuration menu depicted in the

previous figure are discussed in detail below.
