Note: Currently the Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 driver has simultaneous
LAN and Modem support only for notebooks with the Intel PCIC
compatible PCMCIA controller. For notebooks with other types of
PCMCIA controllers, if you install EN2218NT.SYS, only the LAN
function will be working. To use the modem function, do not install
EN2218NT.SYS as described below. All you have to do is to insert
this card into a PCMCIA slot, and Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 enables the
card as a modem card automatically.
Windows NT 3.51 Installation Procedure:
1) In the Main group of NT, select the Control Panel icon.
2) In the Control Panel window, select the Network icon.
3) In the Network Settings dialog box, select the Add Adapter button.
The Add Network Adapter dialog box appears.
4) In the list of network cards, select "<other> Requires disk from
manufacturer", and click the <Enter> button.
5) Insert the driver diskette in a diskette drive. Enter drive and
pathname (e.g. A:\WINNT) and click the OK button.
6) In the Select OEM Option dialog box, you will see "Accton EN2218
Multi-function PC Card" in the menu. Click the OK button to install
it.
7) The "Accton EN2218 Multi-function PC Card LAN Setup" dialog box
appears. Select the proper values for the "LAN IRQ Level," "Memory
Base Address," and "LAN I/O Port Address." Please make sure the
resource values you selected are not in use by any other device in the
system. Press the OK button.
8) The "Accton EN2218 Multi-function PC Card Modem Setup" dialog box
appears. Select the proper values for the "Modem IRQ Level," " Modem
COM Port," and "Modem I/O Port." Please make sure you do not select
the same Modem IRQ value as that for the LAN. Press the OK Button.
The typical modem IRQ and I/O port assignments are shown below:
COM1: IRQ 4, I/O Port 0x3F8 (0x represents hexadecimal number.)
COM2: IRQ 3, I/O Port 0x2F8.
COM3: IRQ 4, I/O Port 0x3E8.
COM4: IRQ 3, I/O Port 0x2E8.
9) Windows NT now copies EN2218NT.SYS from the driver diskette
to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS, and the OEMSETUP.INF file
to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32; but renamed it to another installation
information file. The next time when you add the adapters to your
system, you do not need the driver diskette again.
10) To complete installation, bind the adapter to transport drivers by
selecting the "Bindings" button under the "Network Setting" dialog box.
11) Restart the system to bring up the network and modem.
12) When Windows NT restarts, the network should be functioning. You
should also be able to use the modem installed on the COM port
you selected in step 8.
Windows NT 4.0 Installation Procedure:
1) In the Control Panel, double click on the "Network" icon, and the
"Network" window appears. Select the "Adapters" tab, and press the
"Add" button. The "Select Network Adapter" window appears.
2) Press the "Have Disk" button. Insert the driver diskette in the
floppy disk drive. In the "Insert Disk" dialog box, enter the name
of the directory in which the driver and installation
files reside (e.g. A:\WINNT,) and then press the OK button.
3) The "Select OEM Option" window appears, with "Accton EN2218
Multi-function PC Card" listed in the window. Press the OK button.
4) The "Accton EN2218 Multi-function PC Card LAN Setup" dialog box
appears. Select the proper values for the "LAN IRQ Level," "Memory
Base Address," and "LAN I/O Port Address." Please make sure the
resource values you selected are not in use by any other device in the
system. Press the OK button.
5) The "Accton EN2218 Multi-function PC Card Modem Setup" dialog box
appears. Select the proper values for the "Modem IRQ Level," "Modem
COM Port," and "Modem I/O Port." Please make sure you do not select
the same Modem IRQ value as that for the LAN. Press the OK Button.
The typical modem IRQ and I/O port assignments are shown below:
COM1: IRQ 4, I/O Port 0x3F8 (0x represents hexadecimal number.)
COM2: IRQ 3, I/O Port 0x2F8.
COM3: IRQ 4, I/O Port 0x3E8.
COM4: IRQ 3, I/O Port 0x2E8.
6) Windows NT then copies files from the driver diskette to the Windows
NT system directory. When this is done, click the Close button.
NT goes through a network configuration process. When NT
asks you to restart the computer, do so.
7) When Windows NT is restarted, you have to install the modem. Select
the Modem icon in the Control Panel. An "Install New Modem" window
appears. Check the "Don't detect my modem; I will select it from a
list" box. Click the "Next" button.
8) Windows NT presents a list of modem models. Select the "Have
Disk" option. An "Install From Disk" window appears. Insert the
driver diskette in the floppy drive. In the "Copy manufacturer's
file from" dialog box, enter the name of the directory in which
the driver and installation files reside (e.g. A:\WINNT,) and
then click the OK button.
9) Windows NT displays the model "Accton EN2218 PC Card (modem)". Click
the "Next" button.
10) Windows NT prompts you to selec the COM port for the modem. Click
on the "Select ports" option and highlight the COM port which you
selected in Step 5. Click the "Next" button.
11) Windows NT displays "Your modem has been set up successfully." Click
the Finish button.
12) The "Modems Properties" window appears. Configure the modem with
appropriate properties, then click the Close button. The modem
is now functioning.
Trouble shooting hints:
It is vital for the user to assign non-conflicting resources to the
EN2218 LAN and modem devices. Windows NT is not a plug-and-play system.
It is the user's responsibility to make sure the resources assigned
to the LAN and to the modem device are not already occupied by some
other device in the system. If at Windows NT initialization the Service
Control Manager displays the message "At least one service or driver
failed during System Startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the event log
for details," the user should follow this instruction to view the System
Log file to check if the failure is related to EN2218. If either the
EN2218 LAN or modem function fails, more than likely it is due to a
resource conflict.
The user can follow these steps to examine the resources currently
in use:
1) Click on the "Start" button.
2) Select "Programs," "Administrative tools," and "Windows NT diagnostics."
3) Select the "Resource" tab.
4) Click the "IRQ" button to see the IRQ's that are already assigned.
When the user allocates an IRQ to the EN2218 LAN or modem function,
the IRQ must not be in use by another device.
5) Click the "I/O Port" to see the I/O ports in use. When the user
allocates a set of I/O addresses to the LAN or modem function, the
I/O addresses must not be in use by another device.
6) Click the "Memory" button to see the memory range in use.
If the user assigns conflicting resources, the symptom varies. The
system may appear to hang at initialization, at the shutdown stage,
or during the course of operation. In these cases, the user should
remove the EN2218 card, and restart the system without the card in
a PCMCIA slot. After the system comes up, the user can select a
different set of resources, insert EN2218 back into the slot, and
restart the system.
