`TO Select one of the following options:
~00 |Automatic NodeRunner Configuration|
Select this option to perform an automatic configuration of the
NodeRunner adapter. All NodeRunner parameters will be determined
automatically.
~01 |Manual NodeRunner Configuration|
Select this option to perform a manual configuration of the
NodeRunner adapter. All NodeRunner parameters will be displayed
and can be modified by the user.
~02 |NodeRunner Diagnostics|
Select this option to perform a full diagnostic of the NodeRunner
adapter. A full adapter diagnostic will be performed, followed by
a live connection test to fully diagnose network connectivity.
`MA NodeRunner Configuration
Displayed here are the current settings of all user-configurable
parameters on the NodeRunner(tm) Ethernet Adapter.
To modify a parameter, select it and press |Enter|.
~00 |I/O Base|
The I/O Base setting indicates the start of the block of I/O ports used
by the adapter. The default setting of 300 usually does not conflict
with an I/O Base setting in use by previously installed hardware. If
this setting does conflict with any existing hardware, change this
option to a different setting.
~01 |IRQ|
This setting establishes the Interrupt Request Line to be used by the
adapter. The default setting of 15 usually does not conflict with an IRQ
setting in use by previously installed hardware. If, however, you do
detect a conflict, highlight the IRQ setting and press Enter. Some
commonly used IRQs include:
IRQ3 -- COM2:
IRQ4 -- COM1:
IRQ7 -- LPT1:
Note: To use IRQ 10 or 15, you must place the adapter in a 16-bit
(long) expansion slot in your computer.
~02 |Boot ROM Address|
This setting disables or specifies the memory address used for the
optional Boot ROM chip onboard the adapter. If you have purchased this
optional chip, install and configure it according to the instructions
that come with the chip. If you have not purchased the Boot ROM chip,
leave this setting in Disabled mode.
~03 |IOCS16 Timing|
This setting selects the timing of the IOCS16 bus control term. If you
are unsure about this setting, leave it at Normal. If you experience
problems such as intermittent disconnects, change this setting to Early.
Some PCs require early assertion of the IOCS16 signal for proper 16-bit
operation. If you know that you have such a PC, highlight the 10CS16
Timing parameter and press Enter to change the setting to Early.
~04 |Mode|
This setting selects the compatibility mode of the adapter. If you
are using the adapter in an Artisoft network, leave this setting at the
default. If you are using the adapter in a Novell network and are
using the Artisoft ODI or IPX drivers provided on your adapter diskette,
use the default Artisoft setting. If you are using Novell-supplied
NE1000 or NE2000 drivers, change this setting to NE1000 or NE2000
emulation. If you want to install your adapter in a 8-bit slot in an
Artisoft network, choose Artisoft/8.
`MB NodeRunner Configuration
Displayed here are the current settings of all user-configurable
parameters on the NodeRunner(tm) Ethernet Adapter.
To modify a parameter, select it and press |Enter|.
~00 |I/O Base|
The I/O Base setting indicates the start of the block of I/O ports used
by the adapter. The default setting of 300 usually does not conflict
with an I/O Base setting in use by previously installed hardware. If
this setting does conflict with any existing hardware, change this
option to a different setting.
~01 |IRQ|
This setting establishes the Interrupt Request Line to be used by the
adapter. The default setting of 15 usually does not conflict with an IRQ
setting in use by previously installed hardware. If, however, you do
detect a conflict, highlight the IRQ setting and press Enter. Some

IRQ7 -- LPT1:
Note: To use IRQ 10 or 15, you must place the adapter in a 16-bit
(long) expansion slot in your computer.
~02 |Boot ROM Address|
This setting disables or specifies the memory address used for the
optional Boot ROM chip onboard the adapter. If you have purchased this
optional chip, install and configure it according to the instructions
that come with the chip. If you have not purchased the Boot ROM chip,
leave this setting in Disabled mode.
~03 |IOCS16 Timing|
This setting selects the timing of the I/OCS16 bus control term. If you
are unsure about this setting, leave it at Normal. If you experience
problems such as intermittent disconnects, change this setting to Early.
Some PCs require early assertion of the IOCS16 signal for proper 16-bit
operation. If you know that you have such a PC, highlight the 10CS16
Timing parameter and press Enter to change the setting to Early.
~04 |Ethernet Type|
Selects between the Ethernet cable types. The cable type options
presented in this field depend upon the type of adapter. Possible cable
types include AUI (10Base5, DB-15, thick Ethernet), Coaxial (10Base2,
BNC, cheapernet, thin net), and UTP (10Base-T, twisted-pair). This
option does not appear if the adapter supports one cable type only.
~04 |Mode|
This setting selects the compatibility mode of the adapter. If you
are using the adapter in an Artisoft network, leave this setting at the
default. If you are using the adapter in a Novell network and are
using the Artisoft ODI or IPX drivers provided on your adapter diskette,
use the default Artisoft setting. If you are using Novell-supplied
NE1000 or NE2000 drivers, change this setting to NE1000 or NE2000
emulation. If you want to install your adapter in a 8-bit slot in an
Artisoft network, choose Artisoft/8.
`CA NodeRunner Configuration
