AUTOSET Software

H-5

Novell Configuration

There are several pre-set Novell Configuration options programmed into the

AUTOSET program that are not applicable to the EPC-8. The Novell Configuration

option must be set to None.

I/O Base Address

The Ethernet controller uses 32 bytes in I/O space. The I/O Base Address must be

selected using the AUTOSET program. The AUTOSET program can only access the

Ethernet controller when the I/O space occupied by the Ethernet controller does not

conflict with I/O space previously assigned. In addition, the network interface drivers

used with the Ethernet controller must use the same I/O base address parameter as the

Ethernet controller.

The Ethernet controller is programmed at the factory with a default I/O base address

of 300h. If necessary, use the tab key to choose an optional address according to the

guidelines set out in the following sections. AUTOSET allows selection of the

following I/O base addresses: 240h, 280h, 2C0h, 300h, 320h, and 340h.

Warning: If the Ethernet controller is mistakenly programmed to

use an I/O address that conflicts with another I/O device, the

AUTOSET program will not pass the diagnostics test. In this case,

disable the other device or select a different I/O address for the

Ethernet controller. For example, an Ethernet controller installed in

an EPC system that also contains an EXM-16 SCSI controller must

not be set to I/O base address 340h.

Adapter Architecture

The Ethernet controller has up to 16K bytes of shared memory buffer. The default

shared memory base on the Ethernet controller is DC00h.

If using the DOS expanded memory manager or Microsoft Windows, be sure to

exclude the area of memory reserved for the Ethernet controller base memory.

For instance, if the Ethernet controller shared memory selected is 16K bytes and is

located at DC00h, when you finish using AUTOSET, include the following statement

in the CONFIG.SYS file:

device=c:\dos\emm386.exe x=dc00-dfff ... other parameters ...
