Installing the Adapter Software


Software Installation Overview

This chapter explains how to install Cisco ATM PCI Adapter software on a supported PC environment. Follow the step-by-step installation and configuration instructions in this chapter to:


System Requirements

To properly operate the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter software, these system requirements must be met:


Installing the Network Drivers

First install the MAC Drivers and User Applications (CSATM, CSINIT, CSADMIN, and CSILMI). Then install the Transport MUX Driver (CSMUX). After installation and initial configuration is complete, reboot the system.


Note You are only required to reboot once (after both Drivers and User Applications are installed and you have set up your configuration). Any changes you make to the network Drivers through use of the Control Panel, however, require a system reboot for changes to take effect. Any changes you make to configuration parameters also require a system reboot for changes to take effect.

Step 1 In the Adapter field, choose the adapter for which to configure the IPX protocol.

Step 2 Note that the Frame Type is auto-detected for the appropriate environment.

Step 3 If you wish, use the Advanced button to set an internal network number. Obtain this number from your Network Administrator.

Step 4 Click OK when done.


Configuring TCP/IP

To configure TCP/IP, you need to know:

  • your system's IP Address

  • your system's Subnet Mask

  • your system's default Gateway (optional)

  • your Primary WINS Server (optional)

  • your Secondary WINS Server (optional)

If you do not know these parameters, obtain them from your Network Administrator.


Note If DHCP server was enabled during your installation of NT, TCP/IP was automatically configured. See your NT documentation for details about DNS and Advanced use.

Use the TCP/IP Configuration dialog (Figure 3-17) to reconfigure the network TCP/IP protocol for your new adapters.
