2.  Click START / SETTINGS / CONTROL PANEL / NETWORK.
3.  Select ADAPTERS.
4.  Click ADD.
5.  Select HAVE DISK.
6.  Depending on the type of installation medium used (e.g. CD-ROM, floppy
    diskette, network drive, etc.) enter the path to the required files. 
7.  Click OK.
8. Select the entry that matches your adapter. 
9.  Click OK.

3.2  Updating the driver
------------------------

You can use the CONTROL PANEL / NETWORK / ADAPTERS / 
ADAPTERNAME / UPDATE button to update an already installed driver for your 
adapter. 

NOTE: If you are updating from a driver version which is lower than V6.00, 
you    cannot use the UPDATE button to update the driver. You must first    
remove the installed driver via the CONTROL PANEL / NETWORK /    ADAPTERS / 
ADAPTERNAME / REMOVE button. 
Then reboot the computer and install the new driver as described 
in the section "Installing the driver".



Please note that the latest version of the M4CXNT4 driver is
available for download from our web site.


4  Parameters
=============

The M4CXNT4.sys driver allows you to modify several options in order to 
optimize the operation of your adapter. 



The parameters supported by the driver are described below.

Bus Number
------------------------
Default value:    next available adapter found when driver installed
Valid range:      depends on system configuration

This parameter specifies the adapter instance to which the driver shall be 
bound. You can choose from a list of bus/slot combinations for which the 
system has found one or more instances of the adapter. 
When you add, remove,or move any adapters to, from, or between PCI slots,
this list will change.


Network Address
------------------------
Default value:  burned-in adapter address
Valid range:    02-00-00-00-00-01 to FE-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF (hexadecimal), 
                where at least the "multicast" bit(Bit 0) must not be set 
                (it indicates that the address field contains an 
                individual address)and the "locally administered" bit (Bit 1) 
                is set (the address has been assigned by a local
                administrator). These two bits are first and second 
                bits transmitted on the LAN medium.

CAUTION: Each individual network MAC address can only be used once in a
         network. Assigning the same address to more than one adapter in 
         the same network is not allowed and can cause serious network 
         problems.

To use a network MAC address other than the one burned into the adapter,
enter the network address in the following hexadecimal format:

	e.g.: 02-00-5A-98-12-34

If the network address field blank is left blank (or a different number of
digits is specified), the network address burned into the adapter will 
be used.


Jumbo Frame
------------------------
Default value: "Off"
Valid values:   
	-"Off"
	-"On"

This parameter specifies the frame size that the driver will support. 
The performance of your network usually increases If "Jumbo" frames are 
used. Do not enable this option if you are not sure that your network 
supports jumbo frames.

Note: For Fast Ethernet adapters the valid range is limited to 1514.



Connection Type
------------------------
Default value: "Auto-Sense"
Valid range:
	-"Auto-Sense"
	-"10Mbps Half Duplex"
	-"10Mbps Full Duplex"
	-"100Mbps Half Duplex"
	-"100Mbps Full Duplex"

This parameter contain information regarding autonegotiation, 
duplex capabilities and link speed. Only if the setting is "Auto" the 
Autonegotiation is set to "On", in every other settings it is turned "Off".

NOTE: This parameter is not valid for fiber adapter.
