See the Microsoft LAN Manager Installation Manual or see the online
help for more details
8. The Configuration Complete message should display.
9. Save the configuration; select "Save".
10. Press [F3] to exit.
All LAN Manager versions
------------------------
NOTE: If you are installing LAN Manager for the first time, you will
be prompted for the default user name and domain of the
workstation, as well as to answer, and for other Windows
environment and memory management information.
You must edit the "[ACCTON_NIF]" section of the PROTOCOL.INI file in
the following cases. See the example at the end of this file.
IF more than one ACCTON EN166X ISA adapter is installed, you must
specify the interrupt (interrupt = ") and I/O base address
("iobase = ") for each adapter. Use the same settings from the
hardware configuration of each adapter; you can view the
settings in SETUP166.
NOTE: The ISA Plug-and-Play HW configuration of an additional
adapter can change the configuration of an existing,
working adapter. Check its HW configuration again, and
if changed, reinstall the driver.
IF you have a non-Plug-and-Play computer, you must change the
interrupt setting (interrupt = ") and I/O base address setting
("iobase = ") to match the hardware configuration for the
adapter, as listed by SETUP166. If you did not make a note
of them when configured, now use the "View Configuration" menu
item in SETUP166 to note them.
