------------------------------------------------------------
** Note: Some entries are case sensitive. Please enter as indicated.
Run RPLCMD utility to add a boot block record for the new
RE100TX PCI adapter. Please follow the sequence of commands
to create boot block record:
C:\WINNT\RPL> rplcmd
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit]: b
Add Del Enum: a
BootName=RE100
VendorName=000021
BbcFile=BBLOCK\NETBEUI\RE100\DOSBB.CNF
All other parameters are optional
BootComment=Compex RE100TX PCI Adapter
WindowSize=0
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit]: c
Add Del Enum: a
ConfigName=RE100
BootName=RE100
DirName=DOS
DirName2=DOS622
FitShared=fits\dos622.FIT
FitPersonal=fits\dos622p.FIT
All other parameters are optional
ConfigComment=MS-DOS 6.22 Compex RE100TX PCI Adapter
DirName3=
DirName4=
** Note: VendorName should be exactly the same as the above,
e.g., 000021.
For BootName, enter the name of the boot block record you
created in Step 5-1.
Step 6.

example, DOS622RL.TX
** Note: For the Profile name, if the server's RPL directory is
on a FAT file system, use standard MS-DOS 8.3 format (eight
characters, with an optional period and three more characters
with no spaces or backslashes(\)).
4. In the Configuration box, choose configuration you just
created, e.g. MS-DOS 6.22 Compex RE100TX PCI Adapter
5. For the Description, type a comment for the profile. For example,
Compex RE100TX PCI boot MS-DOS v6.22

workstation. The box already contains a comment provided by
the network adapter itself.
8. Choose a configuration type:
Shared if this workstation can share its profile with other
workstations.
Personal if this workstation must use a personal copy of a
profile so that you can customize the environment for the
workstation.
9. In the Wksta In Profile box, choose the profile just created,
e.g., DOS622RL.TX, for this workstation.
10. In the TCP/IP Configuration box, enter appropriate addresses
only if the workstation will use TCP/IP and will not use DHCP
