Installing or Updating a Driver Using the AT-Setup Utility
Included on the Allied Telesyn Installation CD is the AT-Setup utility. This
utility is a quick and easy way to install the regular adapter driver on a
Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003, or XP system.
Note
Do not perform this procedure to install the LBFO driver. Instead, go
to “Manually Installing a Driver” on page 73.
You can run the AT-Setup utility either before or after you install the
network adapter card. Running the AT-Setup utility before installing the
card pre-loads the driver.
If you install an adapter card in your system before running the AT-Setup
utility, your operating system will attempt to install an adapter driver
automatically. Microsoft’s New Hardware Installation Wizard will prompt
you for the location of the appropriate driver for the adapter card. You can
either instruct the installation wizard to the proper location on the Allied
Telesyn Installation CD, given in Step 11 in the procedure “Manually
Installing a Driver” on page 73, or cancel the hardware wizard and perform
the AT-Setup utility.
You can also use the AT-Setup utility to update the regular driver or to
correct problems during installation. If an error message occurs, simply
run AT-Setup again. The utility will scan your operating system and fix any
known issues.

Guidelines
Before running the AT-Setup utility, please review the following guidelines:
ˆ The AT-Setup utility is designed for Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003,
and XP operating systems. Do not use this program with any other
operating system.
ˆ If the system contains more than one adapter card, you must install the
adapter driver on each card. You can either run the AT-Setup utility,
which automatically installs the driver on all of the adapter cards that it
detects in the system, or you can install the driver manually for each
card.
ˆ If the system where you installed the adapter card does not have a CD
drive, you can create a driver installation diskette and run the AT-Setup
utility from the diskette. Refer to “Creating a Driver Installation Disk” on
page 68 for instructions.
ˆ Allied Telesyn network adapter cards are PCI-compliant. The adapter
card’s operating parameters, such as interrupt level and memory
range, are set automatically by the computer to avoid conflict with
other devices in your system. Do not change any of the operating
