| Description | Adapter MdgMPort1: The adapter failed to initialize. |
| Event Information | When you start Windows NT version 3.5 using a Madge Smart 16/4 AT Plus Ringnode Token Ring adapter, it may fail and the following error message appears:
"At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the event log for details." CAUSE: This problem occurs when the Madge Smart 16/4 AT Plus Ringnode Token Ring adapter is configured for Normal software operating mode. This token ring adapter has two software operating modes: Normal mode and AT mode. By default, the adapter is set to Normal mode, and if the adapter is used in Normal mode, you can only use the drivers shipped with the Madge Token Ring adapter. If the adapter is used in AT mode, you can use previous versions of the drivers, and the Madge configuration software cannot override the I/O base address, Ring Speed, and SmartROM switch settings. RESOLUTION: To correct this problem, do the following: Boot the system to MS-DOS. Run ATPMODE.EXE (software utility that is shipped with the Madge Token Ring adapter to change the software operating mode) at the MS-DOS command line, as follows: ATPMODE /IO=0A20 /WRITE /MODE=AT NOTE: The command above is used if the I/O base address on the adapter is set to 0A20. Please refer to the Madge Token Ring adapter documentation for more information about this utility. For more information, contact Madge Networks Technical Support at (800) 876-2343. |
