Additional Network Configuration Examples 

If you are adding another LAN card or are adding and configuring a
token-ring network in addition to your first network, follow the
instructions provided below for adding a network.  Refer to Chapter 2 and
the File Server Worksheet for information on the add a network
parameters.

Add a Token-Ring Network 

You can add a token-ringdd network as follows:

   1.  From the Main menu in SCONSOLE, select Configuration (item 2).

   2.  The Configuration menu is displayed.  Select Transport
       Configuration (item 1).

   3.  The Transport Configuration Menu is displayed.  Select Add A
       Network (item 4).

   4.  The Add a Network screen is displayed.  You are prompted to enter
       each parameter value.

       Press <Enter> after each item is entered to move to the next
       field.If you also have an Ethernet LAN network, make sure this
       number is different than the Ethernet LAN network number.  Press
       <Enter> after each item is entered to move to the next field. 

       The device name is a file which must already exist (see "Device
       Name" for filename).  See Chapter 2 for information on the
       external network number and frame type parameters.

       token-ring segment.  Refer to the Novell NetWare Workstation for 
       DOS manual for more information.

   8.  If you are finished updating network configurations, go to the
       section, Activate Configuration Changes.

Adding Another LAN Card 

When you add another LAN card to your system, you must configure another
network for NetWare/iX using the SCONSOLE "Add a Network" function.

The table below shows an example with the first LAN using the defaults
and the second LAN using a network number of 00000003:
