2.0 Installing and Configuring with the INSTALL Program
The INSTALL program contained on this installation diskette can help
you easily install and configure your PCMCIA Ethernet Card and
network operating system. If the INSTALL program does not work
correctly please install and configure the enabler and network
operating system files manually.
Installation of the enabler is described in section 3. Installation
of the network operating system drivers is described in README.TXT
files in each of the appropriate directories.
2.1 Overview of the INSTALL Program
A. Can auto-configure the PCMCIA Ethernet Card for most
notebook computers.
B. Can modify some Networking Operating System files that are
necessary for your PCMCIA Ethernet Card under the following
networking systems:
Novell Netware
Microsoft LAN Manger
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
Artisoft LANtastic v6.x
Packet Driver
C. Can copy the proper files to the subdirectories where the network
operating system files are installed.
2.2 What You Need Before Running INSTALL
A. Before installing your PCMCIA Ethernet Card, you must first
make sure that your network operating system is already installed.
B. Make sure that the PCMCIA Ethernet Card has been inserted
into your system's PCMCIA socket.
2.3 How to run INSTALL program
To run INSTALL, at the DOS prompt type:
A:\>INSTALL
Read each screen carefully and respond appropriately to each prompt.
3.0 Manually Installing and Configuring the Enabling Software
3.1 Overview of Enabling Software
As with other PCMCIA devices, the PCMCIA Ethernet Card must
be enabled by a software program before it can be used.
There are two kinds of PCMCIA enabler software:
* Direct Enablers.
* Card and Socket Services client drivers.
Whenever the card has been powered off (when the card is removed
or the computer goes into "sleep" mode), the direct enabler must
be executed again.
3.2 Installing the Enabling Software Manually
3.2.1 Overview of the Direct Enabler --- DIRECTEN.EXE
If you do not have card and socket service software installed,
you should install direct enabler to enable your PCMCIA
Ethernet Card.
The direct enabler DIRECTEN.EXE program contained on this disk
is used both as a device driver used in your computer's
CONFIG.SYS file, and also as an executable program run from the
DOS prompt.
This version will directly configure the PCMCIA Ethernet
Card for the following PCMCIA controllers:
Intel 82365SL (and compatibles)
Vadem VG-365/465
Cirrus Logic
Databook TCIC
Sharp PHIC
IBM ThinkPad
Toshiba 3300
DIRECTEN.EXE can also enable the card using Socket Services
versions 1.xx and 2.xx, if Socket Services is present but Card
Services is not.
3.2.2 Using DIRECTEN.EXE in CONFIG.SYS
You can create or modify your system's CONFIG.SYS using a text
editor.
The direct enabler CONFIG.SYS command line has the format:
DEVICE=[path]\DIRECTEN.EXE [/IRQ=x] [/MEM=mm] [/IO=nnn]
where [path] is the drive and pathname of the directory
containing DIRECTEN.EXE.
Valid options:
x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15)
mm = Hex memory location (e.g. C0, C8, D0, D8)
nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360)
3.2.3 Using DIRECTEN.EXE from the DOS Prompt
The direct enabler DOS command line has the format:
DIRECTEN [/IRQ=x] [/MEM=mm] [/IO=nnn] [/SKT=z] [/O] [/?]
Valid options:
x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15)
mm = Hex memory location (e.g. C0, C8, D0, D8)
nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360)
z = Socket (0 to 7).
/O (overwrites current socket settings).
/? Displays this screen.
Note: if the /SKT parameter is omitted, DIRECTEN.EXE will
automatically detect the socket where the card is
inserted.
3.2.4 Cautions
A. If you add the "DEVICE=[path]\DIRECTEN.EXE ...." line after
any memory management software, you should tell the memory
manager to exclude the memory area set by /MEM=mm parameter.
Consult the following table to determine what memory address
ranges to exclude:
Setting Range
/MEM=C0 X=C000-C7FF
/MEM=C8 X=C800-CFFF
/MEM=D0 X=D000-D7FF
/MEM=D8 X=D800-DFFF
B. If Socket Services software is installed, but Card Services
is not, you should add the "DEVICE=[path]\DIRECTEN.EXE ... "
line after the Socket Services software DEVICE= line.
3.3 Installing the Enabling Software Manually for OS/2
3.3.1 Overview of the Direct Enabler --- DIRECTEN.OS2
If you do not have card and socket service software installed,
you should install the direct enabler to enable your
PCMCIA Ethernet Card.
The direct enabler DIRECTEN.OS2 program contained on this disk
is used as a device driver used in your computer's CONFIG.SYS
file.
This version will directly configure the PCMCIA Ethernet
Card for the following PCMCIA controllers:
Intel 82365SL (and compatibles)
Vadem VG-365/465
Cirrus Logic
Databook TCIC
Sharp PHIC
IBM ThinkPad
Toshiba 3300
Configuration is also possible via Socket Services versions 1.xx
and 2.xx.
3.3.2 Using DIRECTEN.OS2 in CONFIG.SYS
You can create or modify your system's CONFIG.SYS using a text
editor.
The direct enabler CONFIG.SYS command line has the format:
DEVICE=[path]\DIRECTEN.EXE [/IRQ x] [/MEM mm] [/IO nnn] [/SKT z]
where [path] is the drive and pathname of the directory
containing DIRECTEN.OS2.
Valid options:
x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15)
mm = Hex memory location (e.g. C0, C8, D0, D8)
nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360)
z = Socket (0 to 7).
Note: if the /SKT parameter is omitted, DIRECTEN.OS2 will
automatically detect the socket where the card is inserted.
3.4 Installing the Client Driver Manually Under Card and Socket
Services
3.4.1 Overview of the Client Driver --- CSDRIVER.EXE
If Card and Socket Services software is installed in your system,
you should install the included client driver to enable your
PCMCIA Ethernet Card.
The CSIDRIVER.EXE client driver program contained on this disk
can be used either as a device driver called from your
computer's CONFIG.SYS file, or as an executable program run from
the DOS prompt.
3.4.2 Using CSDRIVER.EXE in CONFIG.SYS
You can create or modify your system's CONFIG.SYS file with a
text editor.
The client driver CONFIG.SYS command line has the format:
DEVICE=[path]\CSDRIVER.EXE [/IRQ=x] [/IO=nnn]
Valid options:
x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15).
nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360).
Where [path] is the drive and pathname of the directory
containing DIRECTEN.EXE.
3.4.3 Usage of DIRECTEN.EXE from the DOS Prompt
The client driver DOS command line has the format:
CSDRIVER [/IRQ=x] [/IO=nnn] [/?]
Valid options:
x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15).
nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360).
/? Displays usage information
3.4.4 Caution
You should add the client driver utility CONFIG.SYS line after
the lines for card and socket services utilities.
4.0 Manually Installing and Configuring the Network Drivers
You can find additional information about network device drivers in
the README.TXT files located in each of the respective
subdirectories.
5.0 Diagnostic --- DIAG.EXE
DIAG.EXE will run the following test to make sure the hardware
components of your PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter are functional:
I/O Port Assignment
NIC Register Access
On-board RAM Buffer Test
Lookback through ENC
Lookback through ENA
Lookback to UTP
6.0 Installing Client Driver under SystemSoft's CardSoft
SystemSoft's CardSoft provides Socket Service, card Service and Card
Identification Client drivers. CardSoft supports Intel 82365SL PCIC
and Databook TCIC-2/N and other PCMCIA controllers. Each of these
PCMCIA controllers requires a different Socket Service driver
program.
The client device driver, CARDID.EXE, detects the insertion and
removal of Etehrnet adapter, automatically determines the Ethernet
adapter as a Ethernet adapter upon insertion, and configures the card
and slot.
To use the both functions of Ethernet adapter with the CardSoft
software requires the PCMCIAET.CLB file to be used by the CARDID
client.
Follow these steps:
1) Copy across the PCMCIAET.CLB file:
Copy (FROM) A:\ENABLER\pcmciaet.clb
(TO) C:\CARDSOFT\.
2) Edit the CARDID.INI file and add the library PCMCIAET.CLB:
edit C:\CARDSOFT\cardid.ini
Find the section which starts "[Libraries]", and add the line
CardLib=PCMCIAET.CLB
before any other "CardLib=" lines.
When the card is inserted it will beep. Use CARDINFO.EXE /V to
check the Ethernet adapter has been configured corretly as:
LAN: IO Base=300, IRQ=11
