[. . . ] Do not change this textbox unless you are doing a special procedure involving multiple copies of the Windows 3. 1 system software on your computer. When you choose Next>, then the ODI Driver Selection screen appears. Software Installation 25 DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card User's Guide ODI Driver Selection Screen Disregard the "Board" textbox at the top of this dialog box. In the "Driver" section below the textbox, select the 32 bit option button, then choose the Other Boards button. This brings up the ODI Driver Path dialog box. The ODI Driver Path dialog box features a textbox for specification of the full path filename to the ODI driver (Open Data Interface driver module) needed for operation of the DFE-650 under DOS or Windows 3. 1 OS. That module is supplied on the D-Link DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card Driver diskette. Insert the D-Link DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card Driver diskette into a diskette drive of your notebook PC (here assumed to be drive A), and type in the textbox to complete the following entry: A:\NETWARE\32BITLAN\DFE650. LAN Then choose the OK button to close the ODI Driver Path dialog box. In the Select a Board dialog box which then appears, there will be just one entry: D-Link DFE-650 Fast Ethernet PC Card Driver. Click that entry to confirm that you are installing the DFE-650, then choose the OK button to close the Select a Board dialog box. This returns control to the ODI Driver Selection dialog box. The Driver Settings dialog box appears. Driver Settings Screen This screen provides control of four settings. The Connection Type setting is an aggregate setting which includes Line Speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) and Duplex (Half Duplex or Full Duplex). It is recommended that you deselect all line speed and duplex settings, by celecting " none" as Connection Type. 26 Software Installation DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card User's Guide WARNING: Whenever any value is shown for either Line Speed or Duplex (i. e. , the Connection Type setting is different from "none"), then the entire autonegotiation function of the DFE-650 will be disabled (turned off). It is ordinarily best not to change either of the next two settings, Driver Retries or Frame Type, from their default values. The first of these two parameters affects the errorcorrection processing of defective data packets. The default value is 5, and that is ordinarily a suitable value. The second parameter is a list of the data frame formats that the DFE-650 and the client software will be enabled to handle. The default setting enables four different frame types. That is the maximum range of frame types, and that is the most appropriate choice in most environments. The last parameter, Node Address, should ordinarily be left blank, as well. It provides for entry of an alias hardware address, which is rarely needed. When your entries are choose the OK button to continue.
