# Loading IFADAP from AUTOEXEC.BAT

To provide the option of not using the network:

1. Add the information below to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

       IFADAP CARD=PCMCIA QUESTION
       IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO POWER_DOWN
       C:\MADGE\SMART
       REM interfaces and protocols specified in SMART.CFG
       goto DONE
       	:POWER_DOWN
       rem ---- ensure that the Ringnode is powered down
       TRPOWER /OFF
       	:DONE

2. If you want to, supply your own question for the QUESTION="" parameter . By default, IFADAP uses the question, "Do you want to load the network drivers (F1=Yes/F2=No)?". The question is displayed when AUTOEXEC.BAT executes. The following (wrapped) line shows a sample question:
   IFADAP CARD=PCMCIA QUESTION="Do you want to use the network (F1=Yes/F2=No)?"

3. If you want to, give the POWER_DOWN section that you run TRPOWER from, a different name.

Note that, IFADAP returns an error level:

- 0, if you have a PCMCIA Ringnode installed and you answer Yes (F1) to the question.

- 1, if you do not have a PCMCIA Ringnode installed or if you answer No (F2) to the question.
