DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card User's Guide 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 settled, key to continue. "Installation Configuration Summary" Screen This is the last screen before the automatic portion of the installation. It offers a default target path/directory name, and allows for your option/permission to automatically alter the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. If the offered default path/directory name for the installation is not acceptable, then key in the path/directory name of your choice. In all events, make a note of the path/directory name, which will be needed in the "Edit STARTNET.BAT" section, below. The permission choice is captioned Modify AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS: If you elect Yes, then a STARTNET.BAT command will be added into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. In that case, the network software will automatically be loaded each time you power up the notebook PC. If you elect No, then it will be necessary for you to enter the STARTNET.BAT command manually at the DOS prompt any time that you want to enable the notebook PC for network operation. If you want to maximize your notebook PC's resources which will be available during off-line operations, just choose No Software Installation 21
