Loading IFADAP from AUTOEXEC.BAT

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.
