can be configured using

DXMAID

for

LAN

Support Program, the LAN Services

installation/configuration program for OS/2,

or

by

manually

editing

the PROTOCOLINI file. A detailed description

of

the configurable

The RiPL Function

The Remote (initial) Program Load (RiPL) function gives

the

ISA

Ethernet

Adapters

the

capability

to

bring up a

computer

without a

diskette

drive

using files the

computer

receives from a

LAN

server.

One

of

the following

network

operating

systems is required for the

ISA Ethernet Adapters

to

complete

an

RiPL.

• IBM OSI2 LAN

Server

2.0

• IBM

OS/2

LAN

Server

3.0

• Novell NetWare

3.11

•

Microsoft

LAN

Manager

2.2

To enable

the

ISA Ethernet Adapters to use RiPL feature,

the

adapter

must

be configured so

the

Boot PROM will be enabled.

To configure the adapter, you must use a

computer

that

has a

diskette drive. (See "Configuring the

Adapter"

on page 16.) Once

configuration has been completed,

the

adapter

may

be

installed

in

a

computer

or

workstation which does not have a diskette drive.

If you install

more

than one ISA Ethernet

Adapter

in a

computer

which does not have a diskette drive,

only

one

of

the

adapters

should have the Boot PROM enabled. (See "Disabling the Boot

PROM" on page

37

for instructions on disabling the Boot PROM.)

You will

also

need

to

ensure

that

the

IRQ

Interrupt Levels, 1/0

Base Addresses, and

memory

configurations

of

the ISA Ethernet

Adapters do not conflict. If conflicts exist, the

computer

may fail

to

boot properly.
Once

an

ISA Ethernet

Adapter

is installed

in a computer

which

does not have a diskette drive,

the

RiPL function will be enabled

automatically

each

time

the

computer

is turned on. The

adapter

detects

that

there

is no diskette

drive

and starts the RiPL program.

If you wish

to

use the RiPL function

of

the ISA Ethernet Adapters

in

a

computer

that

has a diskette drive, you may run the

RPLBOOT.COM utility program (shipped on the IBM ISA Ethernet

Adapters Option Diskette)

to

disable the diskette drive. The

computer

will

then RiPL

directly

from the LAN instead

of

from the

diskette drive.
