Introduction
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Thank you for purchasing the PLANET ENW-3503F Fast Ethernet + 56K
Fax/Modem PC Card. This diskette has network driver support for
the PC Card. There is a format change for this driver disk.
All README's have been reformatted, an easy setup program,
and consistency on all documentation provided.
We hope our new readme's and installation will minimize the users
effort to make our products work. Should you have further
recommendations please contact the support manager.
Install PC Card Software Manually
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
The installation software has been carefully designed to detect
a combination of hardware and software installed on the PC. Proper
detection will allow the PC's PC Card drivers to enable the
PC Card. If the installation software fails to complete, the enabler
will need to be manually copied from the driver disk to the PC.
If Windows for Workgroup 3.11, Windows NT, or Windows 95/98 are used,
follow the instructions for installing PC Cards in the PC's manual.
Determine if any third party generic enablers installed on the PC.
These are identified by a search through the CONFIG.SYS file for
the following lines:
Vendor Device Loaded in CONFIG.SYS
--------------- -------------------------------
Awards Software DEVICE=C:\CARDWARE\PCENABLE.EXE
System Soft DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CARDID.EXE
Phoenix DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSCD.EXE
If one of these exist in your CONFIG.SYS, it can be used to enable
the PC Card. Follow the PCMCIA driver installation instructions in
the PC's manual.
If the PC Card drivers do not support multi-function cards, please
use the included enabler.
Disable all current PC Card drivers by editing the CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT. If it is necessary to keep these drivers
for other adapters skip to next section.
Insert Driver Disk in drive A:.
Type C: at the command prompt.
Type MD LMCARD to make a new directory.
Type COPY A:\ENABLER\*.* C:\LMCARD to copy the enabler to
your directory.
Modify the PATH= statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT to include
path C:\LMCARD.
Change From PATH=<Original Path>
To PATH=<Original Path>;C:\LMCARD
Use the CARDEN.EXE to enable the PC Card when the PC is loading
Card Services.
Getting Started
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
For Novell, Lan Manager, and Packet Driver, first insert the
PLANET ENW-3503F into one of the free PCMCIA card slots, remove
all other PC Cards from your machine.
Then insert the "PLANET ENW-3503F Drivers Disk"
into drive A, and type A:\INSTALL at the command prompt. The
installation program will copy files to the destination directory
and modify your related files(CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and NET.CFG).
For Windows for Workgroup, Windows NT & Windows 95/98, use the
"Network Setup" utility provided by windows system to install
the PC Card. On this disk you will find sub-directories for each of
the Microsoft products. Each directory has a README.TXT that will
help install that particular Microsoft product.
After installation, simply reboot the machine to enable the LanModem.
EMM386 Usage with LanModem
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Under PCMCIA all I/O cards (including Ethernet and Modem) must
be initialized as memory cards and then switched into I/O mode
operation by an enabler software.
Therefore, the enabler software (such as CARDEN.EXE) must see the
PC Card memory when it is executed. DOS extended memory managers
such as EMM386 and QEMM take control of the PC memory space which
effects PC Card initialization.
There are two solutions available:
1) Run enabler (CARDEN or existing PC Card drivers + CARDEN)
before EMM386 or QEMM is loaded.
2) Exclude at least 4K of memory from EMM386's or QEMM's use.
An exclusion of X=D000-D3FF will work well.There may also
be additional exclusions for your PCMCIA drivers, don't
modify these.
