LOADING NETWORK SOFTWARE

You must install the proper network software in order to use your
PC, with the E2200 series adapter, to communicate on the Ethernet
network. Network operating system software drivers are supplied
on the Cabletron software diskette that accompanied the adapter.
The drivers are grouped in subdirectories that contain readme files
to explain recent changes in procedure, etc. The Network Software
Installation Guide, included with the Cabletron software
diskette(s), contains detailed instructions for installing network
drivers.
The E2200 series adapters contain configuration information,
stored in EEPROM. The adapters are shipped with a set of default
parameters already installed. Table 2-1, on the following page, lists
the default parameters.
If these parameters are acceptable, no further configuration of the
adapter is necessary and you may proceed to install network
drivers (see the Network Software Installation Guide for
instructions on installing drivers.
If you wish to change the default parameters in your
adapter, you MUST configure it before loading network
