AUTOSET Software

The AUTOSET program is used to configure the Ethernet controller. Since this may be set

up by your supplier, you may never be required to use this program. The software is

contained on the optional Net 1

software diskette that is an optional item for the EPC-8A.

The AUTOSET program must be run from DOS or a DOS shell and enables these actions:

• Select one adapter to be configured. Up to four adapters may be installed.

• Manually select configuration options (such as I/O base address and IRQ) for a

specific installation.

If configuring multiple Ethernet controller cards in a single system, refer to the section,

“Configuring Additional Ethernet Controllers.”

Installing the Software

Under DOS 5.0 or higher, or in a DOS window, insert the optional

Net1

distribution

diskette in the floppy drive and switch the command line to that floppy drive.

The DOS

INSTALL.BAT

file creates a subdirectory on the hard disk and copies the

collection of software drivers and configuration files from the distribution disks to the

hard disk. Type

Install

and press

Enter

. Note that AUTOSET can be run from a floppy

disk drive.

The Net1 distribution diskette contains the setup program AUTOSET, and a

collection of

drivers for various network interfaces and operating systems.

Using the AUTOSET Program

Make sure that network software is not currently running on the computer system. If

network software is running, reboot or unload the network software.
