Introduction
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Window 95 offers the easiest installs for any OS/NOS in the industry.
Since it has most drivers that are compatible to your DE-650CT, using
our drivers is not necessary. There isn't a performance difference
between the built in drivers and our drivers. Every PCMCIA card has
a CIS, which is the Card Information Services. The CIS is responsibe
for advertising the cards manufacturer, what type of card, and what it
requires to function in its environment. Some pieces of the DE-650CTs
have a modified CIS, which will create different response to
Windows 95.
There will be three methods for installation due to the different CISs.
One CIS will allow the card to plug n' play in which will work without
any responses required from the user. The other CIS will recognize the
card as a DE-650CT and request a driver. See Getting Started for details
of each install.

Getting Started
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
We assume that the PCMCIA Chipset drivers are loaded and functioning.
The System Icon in the control panel can report on it functionality.
Any question on this layer need to be taken up with the machines
manufacture.
Remove the DE-650CT and any other PCMCIA card from the machine.
Install Windows 95 per Microsoft's and machine's manufacure
recommendations.
After Windows 95 is fully functional and the PCMCIA Chipset drivers
are working properly, you can install te DE-650CT.
Depending on the cards CIS (See Introduction) the following will occur:
The card will Plug N'Play, in which it will not require any response
by the user. Upon insertion the system react on its own and may ask
for the installation CD/disks. After installation it will reboot.
The card will be fully functional upon the reboot.
The card will be recognized, but will request a driver. Please
select "Have disk from Manufacture". Please input the full path
to the drivers, ie. A:\WIN95 . The driver will install and it
may ask for the installation CD/disks. After installation it
will reboot, and the card will be fully functional.
If the card does not work upon rebooting, use the System Icon in
Control Panel to check its status. The setup up of the card is
very easy to accomplish. If it is not working a shortcut may have
been taken to get it running. Begin troubleshooting by removing
all network support and PCMCIA, then start over. If it still doesn't
function it may be an incompatibility with Windows 95, the machine,
and the card. Please contact D-Link's customer support for the
latest information.
Re-insert the other PCMCIA cards, if problems develop with the addition
cards, each manufacture is responsible for support of their products.
D-Link recommends the use of NAME BRAND equipment only in conjuction
with the DE-650CT. This insures the best compatibility between cards
and the best development/reaction to problems with non-hetrogenious
adapter cards.
