Chapter 3
Configuring the EISA Adapter
The EtherLink III 3C579 and 3C579-TP adapters are
EISA adapters. If you are not sure what type of adapter
you have, refer to Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1.
This chapter first explains how to configure the EISA com-
puter to accept the EISA adapter using the EISA configu-
ration diskette that accompanied your computer. Secondly,
the chapter explains how to change the Network Optimiza-
tion or Maximum Modem Speed settings using the
EtherDisk diskette that accompanied your EtherLink III
adapter. The EISA computer configuration must be
completed before these settings can be changed. All other
parameters are automatically configured by the EISA
configuration diskette that came with the computer.
Thirdly, the chapter explains how to start the EtherLink III
adapter AutoLink auto installation software for the
NetWare network operating system (NOS) environment
using the EtherDisk diskette.
This AutoLink auto installation procedure accomplishes the
following:
■ Installs all necessary NetWare DOS ODI client
software
■ Automatically logs onto the server and updates the
client software if your system administrator has
already configured a 3Install account on your server
■ Modifies the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files for NetWare users
