4. Troubleshooting Tips
NOTE:
Some computer manufacturers that ship computers with a
factory installed version of the Microsoft Windows NT
operating system, often include a PC Card wizard, that
enables 'Plug & Play' for the Windows NT operating
system. If your computer automatically detects the new
card, you may skip the following section and turn to
'Enabling Network Support' .
--------------------------------------
1. Starting Installation
--------------------------------------
To install the OR Client PC Driver on a computer running
Windows NT 4.0, proceed as follows:
1. Insert the Avaya Wireless PC Card into your computer.
2. Power up your computer.
3. Continue with Enabling PCMCIA Services.
NOTE:
* To be able to perform the steps below, you will need
the privileges of the Windows NT station administrator.
From the Start menu, use the option 'Log Off xxxxx' and
then log on as 'Administrator'.
* Verify that the computer system has at least NT Service
Pack 4 installed (check the blue start-up screen, or
the System control panel applet).
* If the computer on which you plan to install the
WaveLAN PC Card is running with Service Pack 3 or
lower, you will need to download Service Pack 4 from
the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com) and
install the Service Pack prior to installing the
OR Client PC Driver.
* May need to reinstall the Service pack after installing
the Driver, otherwise the following error message might
be in the Log Event Viewer: "A service failed to start"

2. Enabling PCMCIA Services

Socket controller, identified as the PCMCIA device.

3. Enabling Network Support
--------------------------------------
To introduce your OR Client PC Driver to the Windows NT
operating system, you will need to enable Network support
for your computer.
1. From the Windows NT Taskbar, click the 'Start' button.
2. Click on 'Settings', then 'Control Panel'.
3. In the Control Panel window, double-click the 'Network'
icon to open the Network Settings window.
* If no network has been installed yet, you will be
prompted to install it now. Click Yes to install
Windows NT Networking, and follow the instructions as
they appear on screen.
* If networking support was already installed, you will
see a window with multiple tabs.
4. Select the tab Adapters, and click the Add button.

* After selecting the .INF file, you will be prompted to
select the appropriate driver for your hardware. The
following three options will be available to you:
-- Avaya Wireless PC Card (5 Volt)

Most customers have 5 volt Avaya Wireless PC Card hardware,
so select "Avaya Wireless PC Card (5 Volt)", unless you have an
embedded Avaya Wireless radio.

Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
