1. Setup
========

Do the following steps to install the driver:

a. Open the Control Panel/Network.
b. Click "Add Adapter" button.
c. When the list of adapters appears, choose "Other".
d. Insert the Drivers diskette and enter "A:\WINNT35".
e. A dialog box will appear to configure the driver for your system.
   Set the following items:
    - I/O port base (recommended value is 0x300);
    - Interrupt level IRQ (recommended value is 5);
    - Memory base address (recommended value is 0xD0000);
    - The COM port to associate with the Modem
      (the default setting is COM4).
    - "Use direct enabler" checkbox can be unchecked to use the Windows NT
      system PCMCIA support (for Windows 3.51 only). If the checkbox
      is checked (by the default), the driver will use the built-in direct
      enabler.
f. The operating system setup will show you the standard dialog "Bus Type
   and number".  Press "Ok".
g. Windows will finish the PCMCIA setup and will prompt you
   to reboot. Click "No".  COM port setup is required now.

h. Open the Control Panel/Ports and assign the Base I/O Address
   and the IRQ for the chosen COM port. The Base I/O Address
   can be one of the following, whichever is available on your
   system:
     - 0x3F8 (default for COM1)
     - 0x2F8 (default for COM2)
     - 0x3E8 (default for COM3)
     - 0x2E8 (default for COM4)

   IRQ for the COM port can be either assigned to any unused value,
   or shared with any Windows NT SerialNNNN device. Do NOT share the
   IRQ with the EtherSerial IRQ (has been set at the step "e"), or
   with the serial port occupied by serial mouse.
   "FIFO Enabled" box should be checked normally.


   NOTE:
   Windows NT Diagnostics program (WINMSD.EXE) can help you to find
   which resources are already in use in your system.

i. Insert the EtherSerial adapter into a PCMCIA slot and reboot the computer.
   Installation is now complete.


! IMPORTANT !
PCMCIA cards should always be inserted BEFORE you start the Windows
NT and should NOT be removed while the Windows NT is running. See
the Windows NT documentation related to support of PCMCIA devices
for more details.



2. Troubleshooting
==================

If the EtherSerial PCMCIA Adapter does not work properly:

 - Use the "Event Viewer" application to find the earliest message
   that identifies the problem.
 - Make sure that the adapter is properly configured. A resource
   conflict is the most likely reason for the trouble.

To view or change the adapter configuration do the following:
 - Open the Control Panel/Network;
 - Select the EtherSerial PCMCIA adapter from the Installed Adapter
   Cards list;
 - Click "Configure" button.

 Check if the assigned Interrupt, I/O base address or Memory address
 do not conflict with other devices and are valid for your computer.
 Note that Windows NT Diagnostics (WINMSD.EXE) can only show which
 resources are already in use. However, it can not check whether an
 unused resource is really available on your machine.

 - If the adapter does not work properly with other PCMCIA cards,
   then open the adapter configuration dialog and select
   the radio button corresponding to the socket where the
   EtherSerial PCMCIA adapter is inserted. This prevents the
   adapter from possible interference with other PCMCIA cards.

 - If the Ethernet part of the adapter is working properly, but the
   modem is not, check that the COM port for the adapter is chosen
   and is properly configured. See Setup instructions above.
   Check the Event Log for messages from Serial driver.

 - Contact our Technical Support.
