DRIVER INSTALLATION
NOTE: The drivers for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 are on the root directory
of the SMC Driver Diskette. You do not need to select the Software
Installation option in the SMCINST program to load these drivers.
NOTE: The card should be set to PNP for the easiest NT installation.
If the card is set to Jumperless, you will need to know the I/O
address and IRQ before installing the drivers. The card is set to
PNP by default.
o PRIMARY INSTALLATION (NETWORK CARD NOT PRESENTLY INSTALLED)
If you've already installed Microsoft's NT Network Function, another card
or loaded another driver, refer to the procedure titled "NT Network Function
already installed, older driver or card previously loaded."
NOTE: If you experience any problems during driver installation,
you may choose to run the SMCINST program and select the
Hardware Configuration option to test the card. This program
will not run in a Windows NT DOS window. You must boot from DOS
to set up and test the card.
1. Have the SMC Driver Diskette and Windows NT installation files (on CD or
hard drive) available. When prompted with a window asking about
"Participating on a network," change the default to "Do not connect
this computer to a network at this time." Click "Next" and follow the
prompts to reboot.
2. Install the SMC network card and start Windows NT.
3. Double-click the "My Computer," "Control Panel," and "Network"
icons. The "Network Configuration" window appears, prompting you
to install Windows NT networking. Select "Yes." Windows NT
invokes the "Network Setup Wizard." Click on "Next."
4. When prompted to "Search for a Network Adapter," click on "Select
from List"; do not select "Start Search."
5. When prompted to "Select a Network Adapter," click on "Have Disk."
Insert the SMC Disk when prompted and click "OK."
6. When the "Select OEM Option" window appears, highlight "SMC EZ Card
ISA 10 ADAPTER" (or appropriate) and click "OK."
7. When prompted to start searching for a network card, click
on "Next."
8. Select the network protocols when prompted, and click on "Next."
NOTE: To complete a TCP/IP installation, you will need to know
your IP Address and Subnet Mask.
9. Click on "Next" and then click "Next" again when prompted to "Install
Network Components." When prompted for Windows NT files, type
the path to your Windows NT files on CD-ROM (e.g., D:\WINNT), or
change the path to those files on your hard drive, and click "OK."
10. You will be prompted with the "Adapter Card Setup" window. Verify
that the correct network card has been detected. Click on "OK"
to accept the default settings. If the card is set to PNP, Windows NT
will detect the correct card settings and you will not have to make
any changes. If the card is set to Jumperless, you will need to know the I/O
address and IRQ before installing the drivers. The card is set to PNP by
default. Also displayed will be the SMC EZ CARD ISA 10 ADAPTER BUS
LOCATION window. Keep the defaults by clicking "OK."
11. Click on "Next" and then click "Next" again when prompted to "Start
the Network."
12. Enter the "Workgroup" or "Domain" names (optional) when prompted
and click on "Next."
13. Select "Finish" when prompted and click on "Yes" when prompted to
reboot. Remove the Driver Diskette.
14. FOR FURTHER CUSTOMIZATION
You can modify card settings via the "Network" applet. To install
additional protocols and network components, select the
appropriate folder (e.g., Customizing Protocols, Services,
Identification, or Bindings).
o NT NETWORK FUNCTION ALREADY INSTALLED, OLDER DRIVER OR
CARD PREVIOUSLY LOADED
Follow this procedure to replace Windows NT driver files with the
latest SMC driver files. By removing driver files, you will lose
network settings. Make sure you have a record of settings, such as IP
address, workgroup name, etc. Check with your network administrator
for complete information.
NOTE: If you experience any problems during driver installation,
you may choose to run the SMCINST program and select the Hardware
Configuration option to test the card. SMCINST will not run in
a Windows NT DOS window. You must boot from DOS to set up
and test the card.
Steps one through four are optional. These steps are used to remove a
card that has already been installed.
1. Install the SMC network card (if not already installed), attach
network cable, and boot Windows NT.
2. Double-click the "My Computer," "Control Panel," and "Network"
icons. From the "Network" window, select the "Adapter" tab.
3. Highlight the network driver you wish to remove and click
"Remove." (You may choose to record network card settings for
future reference. If so, highlight the network card and click on
"Properties.") Then, click "Yes."
4. Click "Close" and select "Yes" when prompted to restart.
5. Double-click the "My Computer," "Control Panel," and "Network"
icons, and select the "Adapter" tab.
6. Do not select any of the network cards listed. Select "Add."
7. When the "Select Network Adapter" window appears, click on
"Have Disk."
8. When the "Insert Disk" window appears, specify the path
to the root directory of the SMC Disk (e.g., A:>) and click "OK."
9. When the "Select OEM Option" window appears, highlight
"SMC EZ CARD ISA 10 ADAPTER" (or appropriate) and click "OK."
10. You will be prompted with the "Adapter Card Setup" window. Verify
that the correct network card has been detected. Click on "OK"
to accept the default settings. If the card is set to PNP, Windows NT
will detect the correct card settings and you will not have to make
any changes. If the card is set to Jumperless, you will need to know the I/O
address and IRQ before installing the drivers. The card is set to PNP by
default. Also displayed will be the SMC EZ CARD ISA 10 ADAPTER BUS
LOCATION window. Keep the defaults by clicking "OK."
11. The "Network" window will appear with the SMC network card listed
as an installed card. At this point, you can select "Close" to
exit the "Network" applet and follow the prompts to restart
Windows NT, or you may choose to perform the optional procedures
described below.
Optional: Install additional protocols and network components by
selecting the appropriate folder (e.g., Customizing
Protocols, Services, Identification, or Bindings). Refer
to the Microsoft Windows NT installation guide for more
information. After completing your changes, click on
"Close" to exit the "Network" applet.
12. Select "Yes" when prompted to reboot so the changes can take
effect.
