Conﬁguring the Adapter

Self-Conﬁguring the Adapter

One of the advantages of PCI is that all of its devices are self-conﬁguring. The

Asanté PCI adapter is designed to utilize this feature.

To conﬁgure the adapter, plug it into a PCI slot with bus-mastering capabil-

ity. During system initialization at power-up, the PCI BIOS (system ROM)

conﬁguration software automatically selects an unused interrupt line and

I/O addresses for use with the adapter. You do not need to set interrupts, I/O

addresses, jumpers, or switches to conﬁgure the adapter.

Computers without the Self-Conﬁguring Feature

Early versions of PCI BIOS do not support the PCI speciﬁcation, version 2.0.

To successfully install the adapter in computers without the self-conﬁguring

feature, you may need to modify IRQ jumper settings on the computer’s

motherboard and/or modify the PCI BIOS setup with the setup utility that

came with your computer system. Refer to your computer manuals for infor-

mation on changing the BIOS setup for a PCI bus.

∆ Note: Check with your computer manufacturer to see if

your computer properly supports the PCI Speciﬁcation,

version 2.0.

∆ Note: It is recommended that you verify the PCI conﬁgu-

ration using the PCI BIOS setup utility after installing the

adapter. Check that your PCI conﬁguration do not con-

ﬂict with other bus conﬁguration.

Conﬁguring 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or Full Duplex Operation

(AsantéFAST 10/100 Only)

The AsantéFAST 10/100 adapter supports National Semiconductor’s NWay™

auto-negotiation feature. NWay auto-negotiation allows the connected

devices to automatically conﬁgure to the highest performance mode of oper-

ation. The hierarchy of this mode of operation is listed below:

❏ 100BASE-TX Full Duplex

❏ 100BASE-TX

❏ 10BASE-T Full Duplex

❏ 10BASE-T

1 2 ... 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ... 37 38
