Installing LANAID 4-7
Using LANAID to Configure the 3C389 PC Card
This section explains how to run LANAID to configure
the 3C389 PC Card for operation with a device driver.
See Chapter 3, “Installing the Network Drivers,” for
information on installing device drivers.
If you are using Card and Socket Services, LANAID will
default to Autoset mode, which allows the LAN driver to
negotiate with Card and Socket Services for available
resources. If you do not use Autoset mode, LANAID will
allow you to select values for resources to be used by
your 3C389 PC Card such as Interrupt and I/O Address.
1 From the LANAID main panel, select Network
Software.
2 In the Network Operating System Choices window,
select Identify Existing Network Operating System
and click Continue.
The Network Operating System Selection window appears.
LANAID identifies a network operating system and the
directory in which the network operating system is
installed. Either confirm the displayed choice or select
another operating system and type in the path to the
network configuration file.
3 Click Continue.
The View Adapter Configuration window appears.
There are two folder tabs: Configurable and Hardware.
The Configurable folder shows all the parameters you can
set along with their current values. Parameters that are
in conflict with other settings are noted. The Hardware
folder shows parameters of the PC system that you
cannot set, but that might be useful.
4 Click Suggest to have LANAID suggest
non-conflicting values.
If you are not using Card and Socket Services in Autoset
mode, you must ensure that the values that you select for
Interrupt and I/O address do not conflict with those for
other PC Cards installed in your PC.
