1. Click on Start, Settings, Control panel, double click System, and click Device Manager tab
2. Click the Properties button below and you will see a list of IRQ's currently in use
3. Look for the numbers missing from the list and write them down for IRQ
4. Click on the Direct memory access (DMA) button above
5. Look for 00, 01, and 03 under setting and write down the ones not on the list for DMA
6. Click on the Reserve Resources tab above and click Add
7. Select a number between 9 and 15 that was noted in step 3 and type it in for IRQ. Click OK
8. The number you typed in will appear under setting
9. Click on the Direct memory access (DMA) button above and click Add
10. Select a number that was written down in step 5 and type it in for DMA, Click OK
11. The number you typed in will appear under setting
12. Click on the Input/output (I/O) button and click Add
13. Type in 03e0 for the start value and 03e7 for the end value and click OK
14. If you get a Resource Conflict Warning error, click Cancel. If not, the numbers will appear under setting. Click OK and skip to step 18
15. If you did get the error and Canceled, click Add again
16. Type in 0360 (use 0320 if configuring for Wilcom) for the start value and 0367 (0327 for Wilcom) for the end value and click OK
17. The numbers will appear under setting
18. Click OK on the computer properties window. If windows asks to quit and restart, click NO
19. Click OK or Close on the Device Manager window
20. Close the control panel

The following steps are for EDS3/EDS-EZ users only:

1. Click Start, Programs, Melco Apps, Config. Then click on the Hardware button
2. Under Network, select the IRQ that was selected in step 7 and enter it for IRQ
3. Under Network, select the DMA that was selected in step 10 and enter it for DMA
4. Under Network, select the I/O start address from step 13 or step 16 (whichever was accepted under setting) and enter it for I/O Base
5. Click OK to save and exit EDS3 Advanced Configuration Options
6. Click OK to save and exit EDS3 Hardware Configuration

The second procedure is to configure the Melco network card to match the software settings

1. Shut down and turn off the computer and remove the case off of the computer (see also EDS3 Basic Melco Embroidery Systems Hardware Installation)
2. Remove the screw that holds the Melco network board in place and remove the network board
3. Set the IRQ jumper to the IRQ set in step 7 above
4. Set the DMA jumpers ( DREQ and DACK ) to the DMA set in step 10 above
5. Set the I/O base Jumpers ( JP1 ) to the I/O base set in step 13 or 16 above. There are three jumpers for the I/O base setting. Address 3e0 is the default setting ( jumpers 2,1,0 ON ) and can be left alone if this is the address to be used. Address 360 however is set with jumpers 2,1 ON and 0 OFF ( hang the 0 jumper off of ONE pin that it was removed from so it does not get lost ). Address 0320 is configured with jumper 2-on, 1-off, 0-on
6. Install the Melco network board into the computer and insert holding screw
7. You are now finished configuring the Melco network board but it is recommended that you check to see that EDS3 is communicating with the peripheral before the computer case is re-installed. Further servicing may be required
8. If you are not able to establish communication to the peripheral, there may be a conflict in the computer CMOS setup if your computer mother board is Plug and Play compatible (most Pentium computers are). To determine if your mother board is Plug and Play compatible, consult the computer manual or contact your computer vendor. If your computer IS Plug and Play compatible, you must reserve your network board IRQ and DMA settings for a Legacy ISA board (in CMOS) usually under PnP/PCI config depending on the computer. For further information, see the NOTE on the bottom of the Network Hardware Installation.

EDS III Basic Melco Embroidery Systems Hardware Installation Installing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)

1. Turn the computer OFF and remove the computer cover
2. Discharge any static charge in your body by touching a non-painted area of the computer frame
3. Locate an empty expansion card slot
4. Remove the expansion slot cover to the rear of the computer
5. Remove the network board from the anti-static shipping bag
6. Make certain that the jumpers are placed correctly, example shown below
7. Be sure the network board is oriented the same way as the existing boards
8. Insert the network board into the slot and press down firmly until the board is seated evenly and completely
9. Attach the network board to the rear of the computer frame with the screw from the cover removed in step 4
10. Replace the computer cover

Figure 3-2 Jumper for IRQ 11 Jumper for DREQ3 Jumper for DACK3 (DREQ and DACK must match the DMA setting in the network configuration setup of the software.)

The I/O base jumpers (JP1 with numbers 2, 1, and 0 above each jumper) are above the IRQ jumpers.

	I/O base 3E0 setting = 2 on, 1 on, 0 on
	I/O base 360 setting = 2 on, 1 on, 0 off
	I/O base 320 setting = 2 on, 1 off, 0 on

There is a small switch between two of the RJ-45 peripheral jacks (J2 and J3) labeled S1. This switch is labeled with the words MELCO and STAR printed on the PCB. This switch MUST be switched to the MELCO side.

The peripheral cable needs to be plugged into either J1 or J2 (the jacks that are close together). The peripheral will NOT come on-line if it is plugged into the J3 jack (the J3 jack is separated from the other J1 and J2 jacks).

Note: The settings (IRQ and DMA) that are reserved in the windows device manager must also be reserved in CMOS on Pentium computers. With most computers, this is done by pressing the delete key when prompted shortly after the computer power is turned on. Once in CMOS, select PnP or PCI config. If RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY is set to AUTO, change it to MANUAL using PageUp or PageDown keys. Then set the IRQ and DMA setting for the network card from PnP to LEGACY ISA using PageUp or PageDown keys. Consult computer or mother board manual (or computer vendor) if further help is needed with the CMOS setup.
