LAN Controller Configuration Guide

This document provides instructions for configuring the LAN controller and network settings on an MFC controller running Windows 95. The steps include starting the EZSTART program to display and optionally change settings like I/O base, IRQ, and disabling PnP. It also describes installing the network card driver, setting the card properties, loading network protocols like TCP/IP, configuring the protocols, installing file sharing services, and specifying the computer name and workgroup. Notes are provided on avoiding driver conflicts if PnP is enabled and a diagram shows an example LAN configuration.

Technical Note 2

Configuration of the LAN Controller on the MFC

Configuring the network card

· Switch on the controller.


· During the runup sequence, press the key F8 when the message "Starting Windows 95 ..." is
displayed, then select item 6 (Command prompt only).
· Start C:\TOOLS\MFC\[Link] (the CD drive cannot be addressed in this mode so copy
the Tools directory to the hard disk beforehand).
· The following settings should be displayed:
I/O Base: 340
IRQ: 11
RAM Window: None
ROM Window: None
Network Interface: Auto Media Detection
Other Settings: I/O Mapped, PnP - Disabled
· If one or more of these settings is incorrect, alter them using the buttons "Custom/Setup".
Key codes:
Move between buttons or input windows=TAB,
Make a selection in an input box=UP/DOWN,
Switch on a radiobutton=SPACE.
Don't forget the "Save" button.
It is then possible to move back using the "Previous" button.
· An adaptor test can be carried out by means of "Custom/Basic".
· Quit the program using the "Exit" button.
· Switch off and reboot the controller.

Note: If Plug-and-Play (PnP) is enabled on the MFC, another driver will be loaded for the LAN card
when the MFC is exchanged because Windows thinks that two network cards are now installed.
It is imperative for this to be avoided.
