Changing Software Option Settings

4-5

If you are running Windows NT or Windows 95 and installing
a single adapter, the adapter’s default configuration can be
used. Install the driver as described in Chapter 6. If the
configuration is not suitable, you can change the settings by
following the procedure in this chapter.

The configuration program is DOS-based, so you must exit
Windows 95 or Windows NT and reboot your system under
DOS before using the configuration program.

Changing Software Option Settings

You should change the default settings of a 3C619C adapter
only if a conflict with another device or card exists.

This section does not apply to ISA adapters in an EISA PC. To
change software option settings in an EISA PC, use the EISA
configuration utility that came with the PC.

For information on the settings of other standard devices,
refer to the option Configuration/Diagnostic/Troubleshooting
on the main menu and select Commonly Used Interrupts and
I/O Base Addresses.

Table 4-2 lists the default settings for the adapter in 3Com
and IBM mode. Refer to Appendix B, “Specifications,” for
more information about each option.
