EISA Configuration Utility
The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) is a program that is shipped with the 6800 NMS
Applications software package and used to configure the System 5000 and System 15000 so that
their resources match the requirements of the circuit cards you installed. The ECU is shipped on a
floppy disk with separate disks for the System 5000 host, System 15000 host, and UIP.
To ensure that these cards function properly, you must run this program as soon as you have
finished installing the cards in either the host or the UIP.
NOTE
To run the ECU, you must connect the display unit, keyboard, and
mouse. For instructions, turn to the section entitled
System Console
in Chapter 4,
Connecting the Components
.
The EISA Configuration Disk contains the ECU program and configuration files. These
configuration files describe all the circuit cards that could be installed on the Altos System 5000 or
System 15000. Table 2-8 shows the names of the configuration files depending on the type of
processor you have and the type of network connected to the processor.

NOTE
The configuration files supporting the Token Ring network contain
parameters for a network operating at 16 Mbps over unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) wires. If your Token Ring network has different
characteristics, you need to follow the procedures in the section
Changing the Token Ring Configuration to configure the network
properly.
