- Change network settings
A Pentium-based computer may contain one or two LAN cards. One of them is always provided for the
communication with computers on the customer network. The settings for this LAN card can be

correctness of the entry is displayed until the operator responds to the same by selecting
y

- Change network configuration
This menu option is designed to directly start the "Network Configuration Manager" program for the
configuration of the network. This option therefore requires special caution to be exercised. Before
starting the program, the operator should already know which options to select for the correct configu-
ration.
Mainly the "Network Configuration Manager" is used for the configuration of the LAN link (output of
LAN card).
● Click on OPTIONS --> Network --> Change network configuration.
The UNIX window "Change network configuration" opens and above it the main window of the "Net-
work Configuration Manager". The current network configuration is displayed graphically in the
view area (see figure below).
Changes in the network configuration can be carried out by selecting the appropriate network component
from the view area and by using the menu options.
The procedure to be followed for the configuration of the LAN link is described in the example below.
● In the view area, click on the entry of the desired LAN card (see figure above).
The entry is darkened.
● From the Hardware menu select the Modify hardware configuration menu option.
The window for setting the LAN link opens.
● Use the appropriate arrows to configure the desired link (and cable type), the I/O address and the
interrupt.
● Click on OK to confirm the settings.
