Boot PROM
(Ignore this prompt. The EPC-33/34 does not support the boot PROM option of
AUTOSET.)
Configuring Additional Ethernet Controllers
To configure multiple Ethernet controllers for use in a single EPC, each Ethernet
controller must be inserted in the system and configured, one at a time, before
inserting the next Ethernet controller. Note also that only Ethernet cards using the
AT/LANTIC Ethernet chip can be configured using the AUTOSET software; more
likely, you will have to use different software if configuring multiple adapters. If that
is the case, refer to the adapter’s manual for more information.
The EPC-33/34’s onboard Ethernet controller is shipped with the default I/O base
address of 280h. A conflict occurs if more than one unmodified Ethernet controller
is installed at a time. If I/O base address 280h is not available, disable the
conflicting Ethernet card and re-configure with a new address. A unique I/O address
for each Ethernet controller is required so that AUTOSET can distinguish which
card is to be configured. Two cards cannot share the same I/O base address; if they
do, neither will be configurable. If this occurs, remove one card and change the I/O
address on the one still in the system, then return the first card.
The software driver for each Ethernet controller must be configured to match that
Ethernet controller's actual IRQ and I/O base address.
Diagnostics
Once the LAN adapter is installed and cabled, use the AUTOSET diagnostic
program to check the adapter installation.
Note that the AUTOSET diagnostic program test requires that the adapter be
attached to a properly-terminated network. Once the cable is installed, use the
AUTOSET diagnostic program to check the network interconnection.
Select the Diagnostics option in the AUTOSET menu. The Initialization and
Diagnostics menu displays. The configuration options currently chosen are listed in
parentheses.
