Installation

NOTE: This topic is not valid for the SHARCALYZER driver. The SHARCALYZER driver is installed with the SHARCALYZER setup.
 

Windows NT 4.0

Note:
Previous versions of SoHard ARCNET-NT (driver versions less than V04.00) drivers must be removed from your system, before installing the new driver!! You can remove previous drivers by removing the registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\farc (where farc means farc or farc66). After removing the old drivers registry entry, you must reboot your system!
 

Insert the software driver disk into the disk drive
Run ControlPanel/Network
Select NetworkAdapter
Click on Add...
Click on Have Disk...
Choose a drivertype in the Options-Box and click on OK
Follow the instructions on your screen. (See also Configuration)
When you are asked for the bustype of the adapter (only 20020/20022/20020C), you should choose the bustype (ISA or PCI) and busnumber (almost 0), where your adapter is located in your system.
Do NOT select other bustypes!
If a node-id switch is present on the adapter (present on some 90C66/90C165-adapters), it should be deactivated or set to 0, if using the 90C66-driver, otherwise the adapter is possibly not properly recognized by the driver.

The ARCNET-adapter will appear in  the network-adapter listbox. By clicking on Properties... you can change the settings of the selected driver.

Note:  The system must be shut down and restarted after installation!
