3-2 CHAPTER 3: INSTALLING NETWARE DOS CLIENTS AUTOMATICALLY

Before Using the AutoLink Conﬁguration Utility

Make sure that the following steps have been performed

before using the AutoLink conﬁguration utility:

■ The NIC is installed in your DOS-based PC and is

connected to the network.

■ NetWare version 3.12 or later is installed on the server

(if necessary).

■ A NetWare server account is available with a user ID

and password.

■ DOS version 3.2 or later is installed on the client PC.

Modifying AutoLink Default Settings

A 3INSTALL.BAT ﬁle in the LOGIN directory of the

NetWare server allows the AutoLink conﬁguration

program to download the NetWare client software from

the server instead of from TokenDisk diskette #1. Your

system administrator can create a 3INSTALL.BAT ﬁle that

copies speciﬁc software from the server to customize

your installation.

Use the AUTOLINK.CFG ﬁle to modify the AutoLink

conﬁguration process. The AUTOLINK.CFG ﬁle in

the AUTOLINK directory on TokenDisk diskette #1

contains default settings and descriptions of the

AUTOLINK.CFG parameters.

Avoiding Memory Manager Conﬂicts

The NIC uses areas of upper memory to transfer data. If

you are using a memory manager such as EMM386 on

your PC, you must reserve the upper memory for the NIC.

The 3C319 NIC’s default conﬁguration requires 16 K

of shared RAM at address D8000–DBFFF and 8 K of

MMIO/BIOS address at CC000. The following example

uses EMM386 and the default memory range.
