SUMMARY
This article explains how to run both the Xircom CreditCard Ethernet IIps and the Xircom CreditCard Token Ring network cards simultaneously on a Dell Latitude XP4100 running Windows NT Workstation 3.51.



MORE INFORMATION
This article assumes you need to have the Advanced Port Replicator (APR) attached to the computer. Because the APR has both a SCSI interface and a built-in Ethernet port, you must use the settings displayed below to get this combination of hardware initialized under Windows NT Workstation 3.51.

Before you follow the two procedures below, install both cards, turn on the computer, and start Windows NT.

Xircom CreditCard Ethernet IIPS Configuration
 Run Control Panel, choose Network, choose Add Adapter, select " Requires disk from manufacturer," and then choose OK. When Setup prompts for a floppy disk, type the following:



where is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive. Select the Xircom CreditCard Ethernet IIps from the Select OEM Option window and choose OK.  From the Xircom CreditCard Ethernet IIps V1.17 Dialog Box, configure the card as follows:

     I/O Port Address:    0x220 Memory Address:     0xD4000 Interrupt:          3 Full Duplex:        No      Mode:                I/O Mode Early Transmit:     On      Link Integrity:      Enabled Cable Type:         Auto Detect  Choose OK.</ol>

Xircom CreditCard Token Ring Configuration
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the Token Ring adapter is connected to a Multi-Station Access Unit (MSAU/MAU) on a live Token Ring network before proceeding. If it is not connected to a live Token Ring network, the network card will not initialize.
