The RangeLAN2 Site Survey & Configuration
Tool & RL2SETUP

card for diagnostics, configuration, and site survey purposes. The
RangeLAN2 Site Survey & Configuration Tool runs in Windows
95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows NT; the
RL2SETUP program runs in DOS.
The RL2SETUP program will only load if other DOS drivers are
NOT already loaded in memory. In Windows 95/98 and Win-
dows 2000, the RangeLAN2 Site Survey & Configuration Tool
requires that the driver and RL2API protocol already be installed
before it will function. In Windows NT, the tool requires that the
driver be installed before it will function.
Other than these requirements, these two tools are nearly identical,
although the Site Survey & Configuration Tool offers some
additional features. Screen shots in this appendix are of the
Windows tool but apply to the DOS tool unless otherwise noted.
Note:
The Windows Site Survey & Configuration Tool does
not run in Windows 3.x.
