B
CONFIGURING SOFTWARE
SETTINGS
The Fast EtherLink PCI adapter is automatically configured by
the PCI bus with the following basic configuration parameters:
■ I/O Port Address
■ Interrupt Request Level (IRQ)
This is done automatically when the computer with the
installed Fast EtherLink PCI adapter is turned on for the first
time after installation of the adapter. Other required
parameters are preset on the adapter so that it will function
without further action.
Additional default settings can be changed in the following
situations:
■ You have a boot PROM.
■ You want to manually select the network speed for the adapter.
■ You want to optimize driver performance for Windows.
■ You want to enable the Full Duplex option for 10 Mbps
operation.
Table B-1 lists each software option, the default setting, and
the available settings. Refer to the on-line help (by pressing
[F1] when the option is highlighted) for more information
about each setting.
The Full Duplex setting can only be utilized in a 10 Mbps
network with a hub or a switch that supports it.
