See model descriptions below for additional information. -The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem takes advantage of the PCI-based 32-bit bus provided by the CardBus slot. This eliminates the bottleneck of a 16-bit bus, thus providing high-performance 100Mbps networking. -Auto-negotiation of 10 or 100Mbps Ethernet connection rate upon initialization, the adapter will automatically adopt the speed of the network port to which it is attached, allowing it to be used seamlessly on either 10Mbps (10Base-T) or 100Mbps (100Base-TX) network segments. -Utilizes 56K Modem Technology which allows access to information and e-mail on corporate networks, the Internet, and other online services at speeds up to 56Kbps over standard phone lines. 56K Technology enables speeds up to 56Kbps when data is downloaded. Upstream data sent from the user travels at the standard V.34 rate. The modems at both ends of the connection must support protocols (V.90/K56Flex) in order to achieve 56K speeds. -Full suite of network driver support - Allows 10Mbps or 100Mbps connection across a wide range of operating systems and networks. Native 32-bit NDIS3 and NDIS4 driver support for Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98, and Windows NT is included. -Advanced power management capabilities including Wake on LAN, Magic Packet, and support for the ACPI and CardBus Power Management Specifications. The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem automatically senses when the LAN cable is detached and reattached, and goes in or out of a lower power mode accordingly. This maximizes battery life. Support for these power management features is expected with a Windows 98 Service Pack Release and Windows 2000. IBM will provide updated drivers for Windows 2000 when appropriate. -IBM software which enhances the ability of Windows 95 OSR2 (950B) and later to support CardBus multifunction devices. -A Windows LAN diagnostic program. -Windows 3.x installation program - Automatically configures both PC and NOS setup directly from Windows versions 3.1 and 3.11. 2) Installation Notes with Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98 ====================================================== When installing the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem for the first time Windows 95 OSR2/98 will detect and install the LAN first, then detect and install the 56K Modem. After the LAN has installed Windows 95 OSR2/98 may ask you to restart the system before it detects and installs the 56K Modem. If you select 'NO' for the restart Windows 95 OSR2/98 will immediately detect and install the 56K Modem. If you select 'Yes' the system will reboot and Windows 95 OSR2/98 will detect and install the 56K Modem and you will have to restart a second time to complete the installation process. 3) Windows NT 4.0 Installation Hints and Tips ========================================================== -When installing the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem some notebooks may have resource conflicts with the default settings used for the adapter. If the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem is not working properly make sure that the interrupt, memory address, and I/O address do not conflict with other installed hardware. Some symptoms for resource conflicts include: -Some notebooks that have more than 96MB RAM memory may have a conflict with the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with modem memory address 0x5B80000 default setting. If there is no link light on after installation with NT 4.0 check the Event Viewer for error messages. Select from the desktop START--->Programs--->Administration Tools--->Event Viewer. If the following messages are displayed in the Event viewer change the memory address (for example: D0000, D4000, D8000). Message 1 IBMC1: Has encountered a conflict in resources and could not load. Message 2 IBMC1: There is a memory conflict at address 0x0000000005B80000 To change the memory address: Select Start--->Settings--->Control Panel--->Network Select Properties for the IBM 10/100 EtherJet CardBus -Some systems may have a resource conflict with the Interrupt default 11. If there is no link light or the link light is flashing after installing the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem change the Interrupt (example 9,10). -If you have a notebook that has SystemSoft CardWizard check the version of SystemSoft CardWizard. The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter is supported with CardWizard 4.1 and later. If your version of CardWizard is less than 4.1 you will have to remove it. The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter will install WITHOUT SystemSoft CardWizard. CardWizard 4.1 does not support (hot insertion, hot swap). Upcoming versions of SystemSoft CardWizard are expected to support (hot insertion, hot swap). 4) Using EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem in Windows 95 OSR2 (950B) and later ============================================== IBM Enhancements for OSR2 ---------------------------- Windows 95 OSR2 (950B) and later supports Plug and Play of CardBus devices. However, OSR2 may have problems properly allocating resources to some CardBus multifunction (Ethernet + Modem) devices. EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem includes software which enhances the ability of Windows 95 OSR2 and later to support CardBus multifunction devices. This support is implemented in the NDIS3/NDIS4 drivers (IBMC.SYS/IBMCN4.SYS) and CBMFFIX.EXE. CBMFFIX.EXE is a program that helps Windows 95 OSR2 configure and use EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem. It is launched automatically at the end of the adapter's installation. The only indication that it has run will be a dialog box telling the user to reboot to complete the installation. On some machines, the program will detect that particular VXD files from Microsoft may be out of date. The window message will read "One or more of your system files are out of date". If after rebooting the adapter does not work ,it may be necessary to upgrade these files. If the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem works after rebooting your system it is not necessary to load the Microsoft files. The specific files are CBSS.VXD, PCI.VXD, and PCCARD.VXD. A self-extracting installer named CBMFIX2.EXE is available on the IBM CD-ROM. Select Start-->Run. Then type path/CBMFIX2, where path/ is the drive containing the IBM CD-ROM. This installer will copy the CBSS.VXD Version 4.00.1118, PCCARD.VXD Version 4.00.1119, PCI.VXD Version 4.00.1121 into the C:\Windows\System Directory. In order to function with Windows 95 OSR2, CBMFFIX places a "forced configuration" onto the slot the card is inserted into. Once this forced configuration is applied, no other card can be inserted into that slot. However, the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem can still be removed and reinserted into the same slot while the laptop is running. If the adapter is moved into the other slot it will not be detected or work in Windows 95 OSR2 only. If you move it into the other slot refer below to 'Removing the Forced Configuration'. The forced configuration on the slot can be removed at a later time by running CBMFFIX manually. It can be found in the IBM\Apps directory. When double-clicked, the CBMFFIX displays a dialog box describing the forced configuration information. Pressing on the "Remove Forced Configuration" button will restore the slot to normal. A log of the forced configuration data can be found in the Windows\System directory in a file called CBMF.LOG. This log also contains the VXD file versions currently installed in the system. Removing the Forced Configuration -------------------------------------- The forced configuration on the slot can be removed by running CBMFFIX manually. It can be found in the IBM\Apps directory. When double-clicked, the CBMFFIX displays a dialog box describing the forced configuration information. Pressing on the "Remove Forced Configuration" button will restore the slot to normal. This should be done before starting the upgrade. The card must be inserted when CBMFFIX is launched. Known Limitations in Windows 95 OSR2 ------------------------------------ -Under Windows 95 OSR2 once the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem is installed no other card can be inserted into the slot into which the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem was installed. However, the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem can be removed and reinserted into the same slot while the laptop is running. The adapter should not be installed into the other slot. -Windows 95 OSR2 (4.00.950b) may fail to load the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem when Windows 95 OSR2 comes out of Suspend/Resume. To make EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem load in this situation, click on the PC Card (PCMCIA icon) in Control Panel, highlight the adapter and click on Stop. Next eject the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem and then re-insert it. The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem will now load. Windows 98 supports Suspend/Resume with the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem. -IBM 760/765 Thinkpad's currently does not support concurrent LAN and Modem operation with Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98. LAN or Modem operation will operate independently. If running simultaneous LAN + Modem in Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98 the Thinkpad may freeze. In some cases, having the latest BIOS update may correct the problem. Please visit the IBM Networking WEB site for the latest information and updates. -When using Windows 95 OSR2, Toshiba Tecra 500 series laptops require BIOS version 5.7 or later. Upgrading from Windows 95 OSR2 to Windows 98 --------------------------------------- -If EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem is installed in Windows 95 OSR2 and you are upgrading to Windows 98 the CBMFFIX is not needed and the "forced configurations" it creates must be removed. *********************************************************** *Please remove the forced configuration before upgrading* *to Windows 98. * *********************************************************** See the section above titled "Removing the Forced Configuration" for instructions on how to remove it. 5) OS/2 Warp 3.0 and 4.0 Notes =========================== -When installing and setting up the 56K Modem with your Communications package (ex. HyperAccess for OS/2), if you can not select the IBM CardBus Modem select Hayes Compatible High Speed Modem. 6) NOTES ON CARD SERVICES ====================== Windows 95 OSR2 and Third Party Card Services --------------------------------------------- -Phoenix Card Manager for Windows 95 OSR2 The Phoenix software must be de-installed prior to running EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem. See the Phoenix README file for instructions de-installing the software. IBM has tested with Phoenix version 4.00.48. -SystemSoft CardWorks for Windows 95 OSR2 This software is compatible with the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter . No special instructions are necessary. IBM has tested with versions 5.32.11, 5.32.12 and 5.32.20. Windows NT 4.0 and Third Party Card Services -------------------------------------------- The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem supports manual installation under Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. Plug and Play installation and hot swapping of CardBus adapters are not directly supported by Windows NT, but may be supported through third-party Card and Socket services software. Some Windows NT 4.0 installations include third-party Card and Socket Services software designed to improve PC Card installation and to support hot swapping. In addition to its standard NDIS3 and NDIS4 drivers, IBM has also developed IBMCNT.SYS and IBMMODEM.SYS to provide additional support for certain Card and Socket Services software. With this release, the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem supports the following Windows NT 4.0 Card and Socket Services software: -Card Executive for NT 4.0 from Phoenix Technologies: Support for Phoenix Card is provided by the special Card and Socket Services driver IBMCNT.SYS and IBMMODEM.SYS in the \IBMNT directory on the IBM CD-ROM. -CardWare for Windows NT 4.0 from Award Software: Operation under Award CardWare for Windows NT is currently not supported. -SystemSoft CardWizard: SystemSoft CardWizard V. 4.1 and later will support the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem. This version is required to support the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem. However, full featured functionality (ie, hot insertion, hot swap) is not yet available. At the time of this release it is expected that an upcoming version of CardWizard may support these features. If your notebook was purchased with Windows NT 4.0 and has SystemSoft CardWizard preinstalled it is recommended that you remove CardWizard. The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem will install without SystemSoft CardWizard.

The following environments are supported. Driver Name Description ----------- ----------- IBMC.SYS NDIS3 Driver for Microsoft Windows 95 (OSR2), Windows 98 and NT (4.0) IBMCN4.SYS NDIS4 Driver for Microsoft Windows 95 (OSR2), Windows 98 and NT 4.0 IBMCN5.SYS NDIS5 Driver for Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows 2000 IBMMODEM.SYS Modem enabler for Windows NT 4.0 CBMFFIX.EXE EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem configuration program for Windows 95 OSR2 IBMCODI.COM 16-bit ODI driver for DOS and Windows 3.X IBMMODEM.COM Modem enabler for DOS/Win 3.X IBMC.LAN 32-bit ODI Client/Server Driver for DOS, Windows 3.X and Windows 95 OSR2 IBMCNDIS.EXE NDIS2 Driver for Windows 3.X supporting LAN MANAGER, LAN REQUESTER and Lantastic 7.0 IBMCODI.OS2 ODI Driver for OS/2 IBMCNDIS.OS2 NDIS2 Driver for OS/2 IBMMODEM.OS2 Modem enabler for OS/2 OS2MODEM.CMD OS/2 script file for installing modem driver. IBMCPD.COM Packet Driver IBMCTEST.EXE DOS Diagnostic Test Program EJETDIAG.EXE Windows Diagnostic Test Program (Win 95, 98 and NT only) MDMTESTW.EXE Windows based modem test utility (Win 3.X) COMSEL.EXE IBM COM Select Utility (Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98) V.90 configuration and use information - S109 register ------------------------------------------------------ Current released firmware for EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem includes support for the V.90 56K modem standard. This firmware is designed to initially attempt to make a V.90 connection, and then fall back to K56flex if the host being dialed does not support V.90. However, the host being dialed must support V.90 autodetect in order for a V.90 connection to be initiated by default. At this point in time many V.90 hosts do not yet support autodetect. In such cases it will be necessary to issue an ATS109=2 command to the modem in order to force a V.90 connection. Please note that if this command is used and a V.90 connection is not achieved the modem will fall back directly to V.34. When S109=2, fall back from V.90 to K56Flex is disabled. To set this value back to the default issue an ATS109=1 command. In summary, the values of this register and the resultant behavior are: S109=1 (default) - Negotiates initially at V.90 if host supports V.90 autodetect. If host does not support V.90 autodetect or does not support V.90 at all, will negotiate back to K56flex. S109=2 - Forces V.90 for PCM connects. If host does not support V.90, falls directly back to V.34. Changing the value of the S109 register can be implemented via the following means: -When using a terminal emulator program, enter ATS109=n (where n is the value desired). -To implement with Windows 95/98/NT dial up networking, go to Control Panel\Modems. Highlight the IBM modem and click Properties. Click Connection\Advanced. Enter S109=n (where n is the value desired) in the Extra Settings box. Known Limitations ----------------- -In Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98 the modem may automatically be installed in Windows using COM5. Windows applications supporting TAPI support COM5. If you have an application which does not support COM5, contact the application vendor to see if a version is available which supports COM5. -Under Windows 95 OSR2 once EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem is installed no other card can be inserted into the slot into which EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem was installed. However, the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem can be removed and reinserted into the same slot while the laptop is running. The adapter should not be installed into the other slot. -Windows 95 OSR2 may fail to load EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem when Windows 95 OSR2 comes out of Suspend/Resume. To make EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem load in this situation, click on the PC Card icon in the System Tray (or in Control Panel), click Stop, eject EtherJet CardBus Ready Port Adapter with Modem and then re-insert it. The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem will now load. -This release does not support Windows 95 version 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a. Only versions 950B and later are supported. See the HELPDOCS file on IBM CD-ROM for instructions on determining your version of Windows 95. -On some systems EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem may not load in the bottom slot under Windows 95 OSR2. Move the card to the top slot. -In order to connect to a 100Base-TX Ethernet network, a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable terminating in a male RJ-45 connector must be connected to a 100Mbps hub or switch. Check with your LAN Administrator if you are not certain of your network speed and infrastructure. -The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem is designed to connect to a 100Base-TX network. It does not support 100VG-AnyLAN networks. -When running the LAN Requester install, the IBMCNDIS.EXE file does not get copied to the NET directory. The file needs to be manually copied from the IBM CD-ROM to the NET directory on the users hard drive. -When running the Lantastic 7.0 install, the IBMCNDIS.EXE file does not get copied to the LANTASTI directory. The file needs to be manually copied from the IBM CD-ROM LANTASTI directory on the users hard drive. -For Toshiba Tecra's, using the 16-bit ODI driver with the NDIS3 mapper in Windows for Workgroups is not currently supported. -If the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem does not load in the top PC Card slot on Toshiba Tecra's and Portege's, there are two remedies: 1. Try using the adapter in the lower slot. 2. Disable support for the infrared device by commenting out (put a semi-colon ";" in front of) the following lines in the Windows SYSTEM.INI file: device=C:\TRANXIT\pumafir.386 -The 32-bit ODI driver (IBMC.LAN) supports promiscuous mode. There is one limitation in its support. Fragment errors are captured, but they are classified, counted and reported as undersized errors. Therefore, the total count for undersized errors includes the total of undersized and fragment errors. -If you are attempting to use EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem in a port replicator or docking station, are using Windows 95 OSR2 and are having problems, there are three alternatives: 1. Put the card in the notebook rather than the replicator/ docking station. 2. Manually load the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem driver. 3. Windows 98 appears to better support this environment than Windows 95 OSR2. -When using the Packet Driver with the Intel 10/100 Stackable hub, network connections may be lost at 10Mbps. -When attempting to use EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem with a second 16-bit adapter (e.g. modems, flash cards, ATA cards) in the other slot, it may be necessary to boot up with the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem first then hot-insert the second adapter. -In order to achieve 56Kbps connects, there can be only one digital to analog conversion between the connecting modems. Also, the modems at both ends of the call must be (V.90 or K56Flex) compatible to achieve 56K speeds, if not, they will negotiate a standard V.34 rate. Current FCC regulations limit download speeds of the modem to 53Kbps. 8) INSTALLING THE NDIS4 Driver IN Windows 95 OSR2, 98 AND NT 4.0 ============================================================= Using the NDIS4 Driver ---------------------- -This release of EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem includes both an NDIS3 and NDIS4 driver.
