SUMMARY
This article discusses switch settings for the IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter.

The following are switch-configurable parameters for the Token Ring adapter and conflicts that may occur:


 * 1) The Interrupt Line address may conflict with devices such as the Microsoft Bus Mouse, hard drive controllers, serial and parallel ports.
 * 2) The Base I/O address may conflict with expanded memory boards.
 * 3) The Memory Map Address may conflict with the memory addresses used by expanded memory board drivers, 3270 cards, ESDI hard-drive controllers, and display adapters.

It may be necessary to change switch settings on the Token Ring Adapter and/or other cards in the system to avoid such conflicts.
