--------------------------------------------------
2.4  Using the LAN Installation Feature in Windows
--------------------------------------------------

   Use the LAN installation feature in Windows 95/98, NT to install the
   ThinkPad modem software from a shared disk connected to a local area
   network (LAN).

  o Initial Setup:

    1.  Create a directory structure to hold the ThinkPad modem files.
        Copy the related files into the directory.

        An example directory structure follows:

        Example Path            What files to COPY
        ============            ===============================
        x:\CIDROOT              ThinkPad Modem Windows 95/98, NT files

        (Where x is the network drive where you will place the Thinkpad
        Modem files.)

    2.  Copy the Thinkpad Modem executable (ACPR260.EXE) to this directory.


  o Installation Procedure:

    1. Go to the workstation where you want to install the ThinkPad Modem
       software. Select START and RUN.  From the RUN window type:

       x:\CIDROOT\ACPR260.EXE

       (Where x:\CIDROOT\ACPR260.EXE is the fully-qualified path to
       the shared disk where the installation file reside.)

       This will initiate the procedure to uninstall any older ThinkPad
       modem software and prepare the system for the new software.
       This process is not CID enabled, so the user must manually
       confirm the removal of any software currently on the system.
       At the end of this part of the process, Setup will ask you to
       restart Windows 95/98, NT.

    2. When Windows 95/98, restarts, it will detect a new device
       and prompt you for a location to the device driver software.
       At this point you would enter:

                  x:\CIDROOT

       Windows NT 4.0 will not prompt you for the device driver software.
       When Windows NT 4.0 restarts, select START and RUN.  From the RUN
       window type:

       x:\CIDROOT\SETUP.EXE

    3. The installation will proceed automatically. At the end of the
       installation, a message appears telling you that the install is
       completed. Press "OK".


------------------------------------------------------------
2.5  Verifying that the ThinkPad Modem is properly installed
------------------------------------------------------------

   The best way to verify that your ThinkPad Modem installation is correct
   and that your modem is properly configured is to run the modem test in
   Quick Tests (Start --> Programs --> ThinkPad Modem --> Modem Quick Tests).
   If you successfully pass the Quick Tests modem test, your ThinkPad Modem
   is installed and configured properly.


   If the modem does not successfully pass the Quick Tests application
   test, check to ensure that the modem is not disabled by the ThinkPad
   Configuration Utility.  To do this, open the ThinkPad Configuration
   application by clicking Start --> Programs --> ThinkPad --> ThinkPad
   Configuration.
