1) EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem Characteristics
============================================================
This release of the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem
has the following characteristics:
-10/100Mbps connectivity - Allows portable PCs equipped with
a CardBus slot to connect to 100Base-TX Ethernet networks
to take advantage of higher network bandwidth. 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.

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. By default, the
NDIS3 driver is installed. If you would like to use the
NDIS4 driver rather than the NDIS3 driver, please follow
these instructions. When prompted by the operating system
for the disk with the EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem
driver, insert the IBM CD-ROM, then browse to the \NDIS4
directory on the IBM CD-ROM and select IBMCN4.SYS.
Complete the installation by following the onscreen
instructions.
9) CardBus Equipped Portable Computers
===================================
The EtherJet CardBus Ready Port with Modem requires a
portable computer with a CardBus PC Card slot. Most laptops
