Configuring many adapters with the same settings
                                                                    v3.06

To use the identical configuration on multiple adapters, save the
configuration of one adapter and load the saved configuration file onto
another adapter.

When you do this, you're only saving or loading the hardware
configuration. To complete the installation, you must install the network
drivers on each computer.


To save the configuration
=========================

1. Insert the Configuration and Drivers disk into a drive, and switch to
   that drive.

2. Type  SOFTSET2 /SAVE=filename

For example,  SOFTSET2 /SAVE=A:\EPROCONF.CFG

Or you can type SOFTSET2 and select SAVE/LOAD CONFIGURATION TO FILE, then
SAVE CONFIGURATION TO FILE. SoftSet2 asks you to specify where to save
the file.
   
   Note: If you have a Plug and Play BIOS, the SAVE/LOAD option in
   SoftSet2 will be grayed out. You must use the command line option in
   these cases.


To load a saved configuration onto an adapter
=============================================

1. Put the adapter in the computer according the instructions in the
   Installation Guide.

2. Copy the configuration file you want to use onto the computer or onto
   a floppy disk.

3. Insert the Configuration and Drivers disk into a drive, switch to that
   drive, and type SOFTSET2 /LOAD=filename
   
   For example:
   
   SOFTSET2 /LOAD=A:\EPROCONF.CFG

Or you can type SOFTSET2 and select SAVE/LOAD CONFIGURATION FROM FILE,
then LOAD CONFIGURATION FROM FILE. SoftSet2 asks you to specify the
location of the configuration file you want to use.


Hints and Tips
==============

1. To load a configuration file without launching SoftSet2, in a batch
   file, substitute "SOFTSET2" with the module "ISS2" for
   EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 adapters or "ISS1" for EtherExpress 16
   adapters.

For example,

ISS2 /LOAD=A:EPROCONF.CFG

2. Different versions of SoftSet2 use different file formats to save the
   configuration file.  If SoftSet2 doesn't recognize the configuration
   file, rebuild the configuration file with the version of SoftSet2 you
   are currently using.

3. If you receive a message that SoftSet2 can't load the configuration
   onto the adapter you have, verify the version of SoftSet2 as mentioned
   in step 2 above. You may be trying to load a configuration that was
   saved for a different type of EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter.
   
   To verify your configuration file matches the adapter you're trying to
   configure, make sure:
   
   -  the adapter has the same number of network connectors.
   
   -  the controller version numbers match by running SoftSet2 and
      selecting VIEW ADAPTER CONFIGURATION.
