2-2CHAPTER 2: SETUP FOR CUSTOM INSTALLATION

Custom Installation

Custom installation is for knowledgeable network users who need to use different configuration settings or change test sequences for automated installations. This option is for network administrators, MIS departments, and value-added resellers (VARs) who need to automate the installation process. Custom installation also enables you to save the configuration settings and test options that you select during the installation for use in

future installations.

Custom installation loads the latest drivers from the EtherDisk diskette, automatically tests the NIC and your network, and configures TCP/IP (dynamic or static address). The Custom option also allows you to change configuration settings, disable tests, and save installation settings for future installations.

If you are installing the NIC in a Windows 95 PC that does not have a Plug and Play BIOS installed, you must install the NIC using the Custom installation option.

Multiple NIC Installations

■For Windows 95—Install and configure each NIC individually according to the appropriate procedures (Plug and Play or non–Plug and Play). See Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3.

■For Windows NT—Follow the procedure “Installing Multiple NICs in a Windows NT PC” in Chapter 5.
