Omninet/4 PC Transporter Card

Configuring the Omninet/4 Transporter Card

Your Omninet/4 Transporter card has switches that let you

set values for four of its operating characteristics. Before

you install the card, you will at least have to set the

device address for your computer. You should also check

the other switch settings and change them as needed or

confirm that they are correctly set to their default values.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Switch-selectable values on the Omninet/4 Transporter

card include

• Network device (node) address and speed

• Memory base address

• I/O base address

• Interrupt request line

The Omninet/4 Transporter card's dual-port memory uses

16 kilobytes of your computer's address space. The dual-

port memory, accessible by both the Transporter card

controller device and the host computer, is used for the

exchange of data moving to and from the network. The

memory base address is the starting address of this 16-

kilobyte block of addresses.

Similarly, the Transporter card requires I/O addresses

through which to exchange command and status informa-

tion with the host computer. The I/O base address is the

first address of a block of 16 I/O addresses that the card

uses.

The interrupt request line is the means by which the

Transporter card signals the host computer when action on

the part of the host is required.
