=====================================================        

                                               LSS 5.0(0), August 1996
                                               -----------------------

Summary
-------

This file describes how to change the mode of your Smart 16/4 AT  Plus 
Ringnode  by using  ATPMODE.EXE. Use ATPMODE.EXE  if  you  want to use 
network drivers earlier than LSS 4.2 with your Ringnode.

*** Note *************************************************************
* ATPMODE.EXE is applicable only to Smart 16/4 AT Plus Ringnodes. It *
* will have no effect on any other Ringnodes.                        *
**********************************************************************

*** Note *************************************************************
* ATPMODE.EXE  is relevant if you want to use network drivers prior  *
* to LSS 4.2                                                         *
**********************************************************************

*** Note *************************************************************
* For information about password protecting your Ringnode, refer to  *
* the PWSET.TXT file.                                                *

Command-line options
--------------------

There  are  a  number  of  command-line options available for use with 
ATPMODE.EXE. They are listed in this section. Each command  line  must 
begin  with  the  command  ATPMODE  followed by a space character.

/?
--
Use this option to display help information.

/list
-----
Use  this  option  to  display  the  configuration of the Ringnodes(s) 
installed in your workstation.

/io=<hhhh> 
----------
Use  this  option to specify the I/O location of the Ringnode you wish 
to modify.

/mode=<MODE>
------------
This  option  selects  the  mode.   <MODE>  can be either 'normal' for 
normal Smart 16/4  AT  Plus  operation  or  'at'  for  Smart  16/4  AT 
compatible operation.

/secure
-------
This option will make your Ringnode secure.  Only  Smart  LAN  Support 
Software  version  4.3  utilities  (or  later)  will  run  on a secure 
Ringnode.  Use  this  software  in  conjunction  with  PWSET.EXE  (see 
PWSET.TXT).  The operation of network driver software is not  affected
by making the Ringnode secure.

**********************************************************************
Note: For maximum security, once you have made a Ringnode secure,  you 
      cannot return it to a non-secure state.

Ringnode:

Example 1: To display the current mode  of  an  AT Plus  Ringnode  at  io 
           location 1A20:

Example 2: Change the mode of an AT Plus Ringnode at io location 1A20 to 
           AT compatible mode:
          
           atpmode /io=1A20 /mode=at

Example 3: Change the mode of an AT Plus Ringnode at io location 1A20  to 
           normal mode:
