Quick Installation
The DE305 distribution diskette contains the menu-driven 1Step Installation
utility that provides quick adapter hardware configuration, software installation,
and diagnostics for NetWare and non-NetWare operating systems. (See the
Hardware Configuration section in Chapter 2 for more information.)
To install the DE305 adapter and the 1Step utility, use the following procedure:
1. Power down your PC, then install the DE305 into an empty 16-bit ISA slot.
2. Power up your system.
3. When the DOS prompt appears, insert the DE305 distribution diskette into
drive A, then enter the following command:
C:> A:\1STEP
4. Press Enter to display the 1Step main screen:
5. Select the Hardware Configuration option from the main screen. If you have
multiple adapters installed, identify the one you wish to configure by
selecting the corresponding MAC address from the LAN Adapter list.
6. Select the View Current Configuration option from the 1Step Main Menu to
verify the hardware settings.
7. Select the Default Setup option if your computer supports Plug and Play.
Select the Manual Setup option if your computer does not support Plug and Play
or if you need to change the default settings.
8. Save the configuration selected in step 7.
The 1Step utility will reboot your system if you select the Default Setup option
or enable the boot ROM.
9. Run diagnostics on the adapter and EEPROM.
10. Run diagnostics on the network.
11. Select the Exit option to return to the 1Step main screen.
12. Select Exit to return to the DOS prompt.

MPX Link for Novell NetWare
As an alternative to the previous procedure, you can use the MPX Link option
from the 1Step main screen to automatically log on to the Novell NetWare
network using the adapter’s current I/O base address and IRQ setting. The 1Step
utility will copy the appropriate drivers onto your hard disk, create the necessary
configuration files, initialize the network drivers, and log on to the nearest
NetWare server.
To initiate the MPX Link function, use the following procedure:
1. Insert the DE305 distribution diskette into diskette drive A.
2. Enter the following command at the DOS prompt, then press Enter to
display the 1Step main screen:
C:> A:\1STEP
3. Select the MPX Link option.
4. Insert the NetWare Universal Client diskette into the diskette drive, then
press OK.
The 1Step utility copies the necessary NetWare drivers and configuration files into
the NWCLIENT directory. It creates the startnet.bat and net.cfg files if you do not
already have a valid configuration defined for these files. In addition, the utility loads
the network drivers and attaches to the nearest server. (At this time, you will be
prompted for your login name and password.)
