Perhaps the eCS 1.1 installer doesn't detect your USB Ethernet card
automatically, though this rarely happens. If this is the case, proceed as follows:
click the
Add adapter
button. (Should a wrong network card be listed, then click the
name of the wrong NIC, and instead of using the
Add adapter
button, use the
Change adapter
button.) A dialog box appears. Scroll to the bottom of the list of
available NIC drivers. There you will see
USB ETHeRnet driver
. Click on its listing,
and then click the
OK
button. Now you can add the desired protocols by using the
Add
protocol
button (analogous to this action in previous section). Should you feel lost
at any time, then you can always read the
Description
right above the lower
navigation buttons. By clicking the
Help
button, an extensive online help library lies
within your grasp.
Once the driver has been added, you must specify the vendor and device IDs. To
accomplish this, just click the indented entries
Product ID
and
USB Vendor ID
to
enter respectively the device and munfacturer IDs. Where can you enter the
hexadecimal numbers? In the image above, you see the field
Product ID
(will
change automatically in
USB Vendor ID
if you click the
USB Vendor ID
entry under
the heading of the USB Ethernet NIC). You can either specify these IDs by clicking
the up and down arrows at the right of the field, but this only increments the already
listed value with one unit. To enter the IDs manually, double-click on the
hexadecimal number already listed, which will cause the hex number to be selected.
Just type the desired ID number, and this will appear in the field.
Once this all has been finished, click the
Next
button at the bottom of the screen to
continue installation.
You can also skip NIC configuration during setup, and then later - once OS is
installed - configure your network using MPTS.
