Changing IOBASE Settings With NRMOVE

ABOUT NRMOVE
============
The NRMOVE utility lets you temporarily force the NodeRunner adapter to
use an I/O Base address that you specify at the NRMOVE command line.
You would typically need to use NRMOVE if you installed your NodeRunner
adapter into a PC that contained another device that was already using the
NodeRunner's default I/O Base address of 300h. NRMOVE allows you to
easily resolve the I/O Base conflict, as explained in the section called
"Using NRMOVE" below.
After making the temporary I/O Base change using NRMOVE, you must run
NRSETUP's Manual Configuration option to update the I/O Base address field
to the same value you specified with NRMOVE. Doing so makes the I/O Base
change permanent.
NOTE: An inability to load the NR driver or run NRSETUP is not always
caused by an I/O Base conflict. However I/O Base conflicts are the
most common problems encountered when installing a new network
adapter.
USING NRMOVE
============
If you cannot load the NR driver or run NRSETUP, assume that you have an
I/O Base conflict. Follow the steps below to attempt to solve the problem.
If your PC is locked up:
------------------------
1. Turn off your PC using the power switch. Using Ctrl+Alt+Del
or the reset button to reboot will not work.
2. Turn your PC back on, then perform the steps in the next section.
NOTE: If the NR command is contained in a startup batch
file, such as AUTOEXEC.BAT or STARTNET.BAT, use the
control+C (^C) command to interrupt the startup sequence
BEFORE the NR driver loads.
If your PC is not locked up:
----------------------------
1. At the DOS prompt, type: NRMOVE <Enter>. This command
specifies the default I/O Base of 320h. To specify a different
I/O Base, type: NRMOVE IOBASE=[?] where [?] is the I/O Base
you want to use.
Example: NRMOVE IOBASE=340
2. At the DOS prompt, type: NRSETUP <Enter>.
NOTE: If NRSETUP does not run, turn off your PC (using the
power switch), then turn it back on. Repeat steps 1
and 2 in this section, specifying a different I/O Base.
You may need to repeat this sequence up to two more
times before you find an I/O Base that works. Once you
find a suitable I/O Base, continue to step 3.
3. Set the NRSETUP I/O Base address field to the I/O Base you
specified with NRMOVE.
NOTE: If NRSETUP does not run with any of the I/O Base
addresses, you may have multiple devices installed
that are using all of the NodeRunner 's I/O Base
options. You may also have a problem that is unrelated
to the I/O Base address.
4. If you want to continue trying to solve the problem on your
own, take out any other installed devices one at a time,
repeating steps 1 - 3 above after each removal.
