The 3C619C adapter can be configured in one of two modes: 
3Com mode or IBM mode. 3Com mode increases the number 
of available IRQ channels from 4 to 8 and the number of I/O 
base addresses from 2 to 32. You can install up to six adapters 
per PC. 3Com drivers (Novell

 and NDIS) are 

supplied on the TokenDisk diskette to support these 3Com 
mode enhancements.

IBM mode provides the same configuration options as IBM 
16/4 Token Ring Adapters: four IRQ channels and two I/O 
base addresses. You can use either 3Com drivers or IBM 
drivers with the adapter in IBM mode.

The software on the TokenDisk diskette provides three methods 
for installing the adapter: 

■

AutoLink installation

■

Standard installation and configuration

Figure 1-1 depicts the installation process, including the 
cabling and network operating system options. The chapters 
listed contain detailed information for that step.

The three installation methods are described in the 
following sections.

The AutoLink program can be used to make your PC a 
NetWare DOS ODI client. The AutoLink program configures 
and tests the 3C619C adapter, installs the client driver and 
NetWare client files, and modifies PC startup files to allow 
you to log in to a NetWare server after you reboot your PC. 
For more information about the AutoLink feature, see 
Chapter 3, “Using the AutoLink Feature for NetWare.”
