Introduction
The QDR Network allows any QDR for Windows computer (workstation or scanner) to communicate with
any number of other QDR for Windows computers (workstations or scanners). The QDR Network can also
include QDR workstations or scanners running Windows 95/DOS (such as QDR 4000), or QDR
workstations or scanners running DOS (such as QDR 2000). When QDR for Windows and DOS computers
are on the same network, all DOS computers and all QDR for Windows computers (that are required to
communicate with the DOS computers) must have LANtastic software installed.
Networks with Only QDR for Windows Computers

QDR for Windows computers (workstations or scanners) can be connected into a network by installing a PCI
bus Network Interface Card (NIC) in each computer and connecting them to a common hub(s). Other than
the NIC configuration software, no additional software is required for this network. See Figure 1 for a
simplified block diagram.
Figure 1. QDR for Windows (only) Network
Networks with QDR for Windows and DOS Computers

A combination of QDR for Windows computers and DOS computers (workstations or scanners) can be
connected into a network by installing an ISA bus Network Interface Card in each DOS computer, a PCI bus
Network Interface Card in each QDR for Windows computer, and connecting them to a common hub(s). To
accomplish this each DOS computer on the network must have LANtastic software installed, and each QDR
for Windows computer that must communicate with the DOS computers must have LANtastic software
installed. For example, in Figure 2, Workstation A, Workstation B, Scanner A and Scanner B can all
communicate, but Scanner C can only communicate with Workstation B. For Scanner C’s computer to
communicate with any other workstation or scanner’s computer, LANtastic software would be required in
that computer.

Installing a QDR Network for Windows and DOS

(mixed) Computers
This section lists the hardware and software required to install a QDR Network for a mix of Windows and
DOS computers, and provides the procedure to complete the install.
Hardware and Software Requirements

The following is the network-specific hardware and software required for a QDR Network that is a mix of
Windows and DOS computers:
1. A PCI bus Network Interface Card for each QDR for Windows computer
2. A manufacturer’s software Install disk for each PCI bus card
3. An ISA bus Network Interface Card for each DOS computer
4. A manufacturer’s software Install disk for each ISA bus card or Hologic 'Network Adapter
Configuration' disk (PN 610-0361 for Novell/Anthem NE-2000 Compatible card)
5. One, or more, 4-port Ethernet Hubs
6. An RJ-45 Twisted Pair cable for each computer-to-hub connection
7. One LANtastic Software Kit for each DOS computer and each QDR for Windows computer that is
to be networked to the DOS computers; at least one QDR for Windows computer (preferably a
Workstation computer) must include LANtastic (P/N 610-0468, which includes P/N 610-0442 for
systems without a 3.5 inch floppy drive)
8. One Hologic 'QDR Network Option' software disk P/N 610-0456 (for 5 ¼” diskette) or P/N 610-
0498 (for 3 ½” diskette) for each DOS workstation computer (Note: Only DOS workstations can be
connected to a QDR Network, not DOS scanners.)
Procedure
Installing the QDR Network for both Windows and DOS computers requires that the following procedures
be performed sequentially on the computers:
• Installing the network interface card hardware and software
• Cabling the computers to the hub
• Installing LANtastic network software
• Configuring Windows
• Installing Hologic QDR Network Option software
Installing the Network Interface Card Hardware and Software

Before starting you should make sure that all DOS computers included in the network have been loaded with
Hologic System Software and are running DOS 5.0 or higher. If you are upgrading a computer that already
has been running Hologic System Software make sure you run the dBarchive program in order to transfer the
system's configuration to the new computer.
The DOS Scanner QDR Network requires that all WORM, Optical or JAZ Drives be installed on a
Workstation node. If an Optical or JAZ Drive is currently installed on a DOS Scanner node, please de-install
it (do not forget to “Unpatch” a WORM drive and REM out the Optical or JAZ Adaptec drivers in the
080-0696 Rev B Page 13 of 22

config.sys file in order to free DOS Conventional Memory), and re-install the drive, where appropriate, on a
QDR Workstation.
Before proceeding, make sure you have a DOS System diskette for each version of DOS used by computers
on the network. To create a System diskette insert a blank, formatted floppy disk into drive A and at the
DOS prompt type:
SYS A:<Enter>
With a felt tipped pen, label each disk "DOS Version _.__ System Disk".
Installing ISA Bus Network Interface Cards

The QDR Network requires that an ISA bus Network Interface Card be used in each DOS System computer
in order to be compatible with QDR Network software. After the card has been installed, the Input/Output
Base Address (IOBASE) and Interrupt Request (IRQ) parameters for the card need to be set because the
card's default IOBASE and IRQ values may conflict with Hologic hardware. Therefore, you will need to set
these parameters using software that comes packaged with the card.
For the Novell/Anthem NE-2000 Compatible NIC:

Perform the following steps on each DOS computer to install the software used to configure the NIC:
1. From the QDR System Software's main Selections menu press 'U' to go to the Utility menu.
Then press 'U' again to select the Upgrade menu option.
2. Insert the Hologic 'Network Adapter Configuration' disk into drive A and follow the directions
presented on the screen to load the software.

Configuration' software is complete.
Perform the following steps on each DOS computer to install the NIC:
1. Turn off the computer, monitor, and any attached device (ex. printer, scanner).
2. Caution: Before handling the network interface card and gaining access to the inside of the
3. Remove the computer's cover. Insert the card into an available slot, then tighten the screw to
secure the adapter's bracket to the PC. Replace the cover.
Perform the following steps on each DOS computer to configure the NIC:
1. Insert your "DOS System Disk" in disk drive A.
2. Turn on the computer, monitor, and any attached devices.
3. From the DOS root directory, go to the C: drive and change to the directory containing the
programs you need to configure the card by typing:
CD\ PLUSDIAG<Enter>
4. Start the program that configures the card by typing:
PLUSDIAG<Enter>
Follow the directions displayed on the screen to set the network card's IRQ (Interrupt) to 3 and
the IOBASE (I/O Address) to 280 (for non-QDR 4500 systems), or 300 (for QDR 4500
systems). Once these parameters have been set they will be written to the card's ROM upon
exiting the program.
5. Remove the "DOS System Disk" from disk drive A.
6. Verify that the computer will boot normally by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Delete>.
080-0696 Rev B Page 14 of 22

For the Allied Telesyn NIC:

3. Remove the "DOS System Disk" and insert the manufacturer’s installation disk into drive A.
4. From the DOS root directory, start the manufacturer’s configuration program by typing:
