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. This returns control once more to the ODI Driver Selection dialog box. Choose the Next> button to continue. The Additional Options dialog box appears. Additional Options Screen The Additional Options screen is the last preparatory step before starting the automatic portion of the installation procedure. This screen features a checkbox for authorizing modification of your notebook PC's AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and it also offers the option to simultaneously install several additional network software packages. If you select the Update AUTOEXEC.BAT to load NetWare Client 32 checkbox, 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. Software Installation 27
