Install the adapter on an MS-DOS LAN Manager workstation
--------------------------------------------------------

   1. LAN Manager new installation
      ----------------------------

        a. Start the computer and access the MS-DOS command line.

        b. Insert LAN Manager DOS Setup disk into disk drive A:.

        c. Start the Setup program by typing

           setup

        d. Follow the on-screen instructions until "Select Available
           Network Drives:" message appears.

           - select <Other Driver>.

           - insert "LE-8029R Driver Diskette"
             in drive A:.

           - type the drive name A:\MSLANMAN\   ; type the drive where
                                                  the driver working
                                                  diskette is inserted

           - when a list of LE-8029R Ethernet Adapter
             select the adapter for the installation.

           - follow the on-screen instructions for the rest
             installation procedure.


   If your computer already has LAN Manager software installed
   -----------------------------------------------------------

        a. Make the LAN Manager directory the current directory.

           For example, if the LAN Manager software is installed
           in C:\LANMAN, you would type

           c:
           cd \lanman

        b. Execute LAN Manager Setup program. You would type

           setup

           - select Configuration               ; Press <Alt>+C

           - select Network Drivers             ; Select network driver
                                                  configuration

           - select <Remove Config>             ; Remove current network
                                                  driver configuration

           - select <Add New Config>            ; Standard driver list
                                                  appears.

           - select <Other Driver>.

           - insert "LE-8029R Driver Diskette"
             in drive A:.

           - type the drive name A:\MSLANMAN\   ; type the drive where
                                                  the driver working
                                                  diskette is inserted

           - when a list of LE-8029R  Ethernet Adapter
             select the adapter for the installation.

           - Review or change the other configuration for your
             workstation


   2. The PROTOCOL.INI together with the driver is a text file containing
      hardware configuration data for the network adapter. The following
      table summarizes the possible entries and values for each section
      name in PROTOCOL.INI.

   --------------------------------------------------------------
   Entry        Units     Range                        Default
   --------------------------------------------------------------
   DRIVERNAME    -          -                          L8029$
   --------------------------------------------------------------

   If the adapter is not found or not initialized successfully, the driver
   shows error message.


Install the adapters in one LAN Manager OS/2 server or workstation
------------------------------------------------------------------

   The installation procedure for LAN Manager OS/2 is very similar to
   that for MS-DOS LAN Manager installation.

   Start LAN Manager Setup program, then follow the same procedure as
   that for MS-DOS LAN Manager.


Install Multiple Adapters in one LAN Manager OS/2 server or workstation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You may install multiple adapters (four at maximum) in one
system for your OS/2 LAN Manager. You must select the  driver
the times equal to the number of adapters installed, during
running LAN Manager Setup program.

After installation for multiple adapters, the master PROTOCOL.INI
in LAN Manager directory will be configured as the following
example:


    PROTOCOL.INI Example ( for example, three LE8029R adapters installed )
        .
        .
    [LE8029R_NIF]
    DRIVERNAME = L8029$
    Adapter ID = xxxx

    [LE8029R_NIF2]
    DRIVERNAME = L8029$
    Adapter ID = xxxx

    [LE8029R_NIF3]
    DRIVERNAME = L8029$
    Adapter ID = xxxx
        .
        .


In regard to CONFIG.SYS, you will find the file contains only one DEVICE
line for L8029.OS2 instead of three as shown in the following example.

    CONFIG.SYS Example
        .
        .
    DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\LE8029R\L8029.OS2
        .
        .


Since L8029.OS2 driver can support four adapters at the same time,
LAN Manager Setup program configures CONFIG.SYS to load L8029.OS2
image just once during booting. This advantage can save your system memory.
