Fast Ethernet 10/100 PC Card Setup for Phoenix's PCM+ PCMCIA Socket & Card Services ----------------------------------------------------------------- Before You Begin Setup Phoenix PCM+ Version 3.x Setup Phoenix PCM+ Version 4.x Setup Before You Begin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for choosing the Fast Ethernet 10/100 PC Card. Before attempting to install the card, we highly recommend that you read the User Guide that came with your card. The instructions below explain how to get Phoenix's PCM+ socket & card services up and running with the PC Card. Setup ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phoenix's PCM+ services work by maintaining a library of PCMCIA cards that you use. The library contains information that tells the services how to initialize your cards for use each time your computer is started. Before continuing, make sure that you've already installed the Phoenix PCM+ software, and that you have version 3.0 or above. If you are using Phoenix PCM+ version 4, follow the instructions below. Version 3 instructions follow after below. Phoenix PCM+ Version 4.x Setup 1. Install your Phoenix software if you haven't already. 2. Remove the PC Card from your computer if it is in your PCMCIA slot. Start up your computer and get to a DOS command prompt. If your computer starts up in Windows, shut Windows down completely. 3. Once you're at a DOS command prompt (C:\>), slide the PC Card into one of your PC's PCMCIA slots. 4. Locate the directory where your Phoenix software is installed. It may be called PCM, PCMPLUS, PCM40, or something similar, depending on the version of PCM that you are using. 5. Once you locate the directory where the PCM files are located, switch to that directory. If the files were in a directory called C:\PCM, for example, you would type cd c:\pcm and press Enter. 6. Once inside the directory, type PCM and press Enter. A General Information Screen will appear. The card should appear in the screen as an unconfigured device. If the device isn't listed, you may be looking at the wrong information screen. Press the Page Up or Page Down keys on your keyboard to move through the screen(s) until you come to the one for the PC Card. 7. Press the Alt and C keys together to select the Configure menu option. Select Add Card to list and press Enter. Press the Tab key repeatedly until your cursor comes to the I/O Window 1 settings box. Type 300, then press the Tab key. Enter 31F, followed by Enter. When asked if you want to validate, answer Yes. When asked if you want to save, answer Yes. When you're finished, press Alt-V, followed by X to exit the program. Restart your computer. The Phoenix socket & card services for the PC Card are now fully configured. Install your network driver for your network software package now as described in your PC Card user guide. Phoenix PCM+ Version 3.x Setup 1. Load your system's CONFIG.SYS file into your favorite text editor or word processor for editing. 2. Scroll through the file. Find the line that reads DEVICE=EMM386.EXE. It will probably be located near the beginning of the file. If you don't find this line anywhere in your CONFIG.SYS file, type it in now, shown exactly as above. The line should come immediately after your CONFIG.SYS file's HIMEM.SYS command, like this: DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=EMM386.EXE After locating or inserting the EMM386 line, you'll need to add a parameter to the end of it in order to reserve an area of memory for the PC Card's client enabler to use. Add the following command to the end of the EMM386 line: NOEMS X=D000-D7FF so that the new EMM386 line now looks something like this (it may vary slightly): DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D7FF If there are already commands on the EMM386 line, try not to disturb them when you add the NOEMS X=D000-D7FF. When you're finished, save the file. 3. Find the PCM.EXE program on your hard disk -- this is the Phoenix services configuration program for DOS. The program is usually contained in the same directory where your other Phoenix PCM+ files are located. After locating the file, run it. If the file was located under a directory called PCMPLUS, for example, you could run it from the DOS prompt by typing: C:\PCMPLUS\PCM.EXE 4. Follow the instructions that came with your Phoenix software to set up a new PCMCIA card with the following settings: Memory Window #1 D000-D1ff Memory Window #2 D200-D2ff I/O Window #1 300h-31Fh I/O Window #2 None IRQ 5 5. Save the new settings and restart your PC. The PC Card should now be recognized by the Phoenix Card and Socket Services. If you receive any errors while the Phoenix services are loading, you may need to change the IRQ or I/O address that the PC Card is using. Install your network driver for your network software package now as described in your PC Card user guide.Download Driver Pack
