2.0 Installing and Configuring with the INSTALL.EXE Program
The INSTALL.EXE program contained on this installation diskette can
help you easily install and configure your PCMCIA
LAN+56K Modem PC Card, network operating system and COM port
for Fax/Modem. If the INSTALL.EXE 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.EXE Program
A. Can auto-configure the PCMCIA LAN+56K Modem PC Card for
most notebook computers.
B. Can modify some Networking Operating System files that are
necessary for your PCMCIA LAN+56K Modem PC Card under the
following networking systems:
Novell Netware
Microsoft LAN Manger
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
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.EXE
A. Before installing your PCMCIA LAN+56K Modem PC Card, you
must first make sure that your network operating system is
already installed.
B. Make sure that the PCMCIA LAN+56K Modem PC Card has been
inserted into your system's PCMCIA socket.
2.3 How to run INSTALL.EXE program
To run INSTALL.EXE, 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 LAN+56K Modem PC Card
must be enabled by a software program before it can be used.
Whenever the card has been powered off (when the card is removed or
the computer goes into "sleep" mode), the enabler must be executed
again.
3.2 Installing the Enabling Software Manually
3.2.1 Overview of the Enabler Program --- COMBO.EXE
The enabler COMBO.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.
3.2.2 Using COMBO.EXE in CONFIG.SYS
You can create or modify your system's CONFIG.SYS using a text
editor.
The enabler CONFIG.SYS command line has the format:
DEVICE=[path]\COMBO.EXE [/MEM=mm] [/IO=ppp] [/IRQ=x] [/COMn |
/COMn:qqq,y]
where [path] is the drive and pathname of the directory
containing COMBO.EXE.
Valid options:
mm = Attribute memory window address (C0, C4, C8, CC, D0,
D4, D8, DC), default is D8.
ppp = IO base for LAN (300, 320, 340, 360), default is 300.
x = Interrupt number for LAN (5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15),
default is 5.
n = COM port (2, 3, 4), default is 2.
qqq = IO base for COM port (3F8, 2F8, 3E8, 2E8), default is
2F8.
y = Interrupt number for COM port (3, 4, 5, 7, 9),
default is 3.
3.2.3 Using COMBO.EXE from the DOS Prompt
The enabler DOS command line has the format:
COMBO [/MEM=mm] [/IO=ppp] [/IRQ=x] [/COMn | /COMn:qqq,y] [/SKT=z]
[/L] [/F] [/?]
Valid options:
mm = Attribute memory window address (C0, C4, C8, CC, D0,
D4, D8, DC), default is D8.
ppp = IO base for LAN (300, 320, 340, 360), default is 300.
x = Interrupt number for LAN (5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15),
default is 5.
n = COM port (2, 3, 4), default is 2.
qqq = IO base for COM port (3F8, 2F8, 3E8, 2E8), default is
2F8.
y = Interrupt number for COM port (3, 4, 5, 7, 9),
default is 3.
z = Socket (0 to 7), automatically detected.
/L Enable LAN only.
/F Enable FAX/MODEM only.
/? Displays this screen.
Note: If the /SKT parameter is omitted, COMBO.EXE will automatically
detect the socket where the card is inserted.
3.2.4 Cautions
A. If you add the "DEVICE=[path]\COMBO.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-C3FF
/MEM=C4 X=C400-C7FF
/MEM=C8 X=C800-CBFF
/MEM=CC X=CC00-CFFF
/MEM=D0 X=D000-D3FF
/MEM=D4 X=D400-D7FF
/MEM=D8 X=D800-DBFF
/MEM=DC X=DC00-DFFF
B. The default settings for COM port are following:
Setting I/O Base IRQ
----------------------------------
/COM2 2F8 3
/COM3 3E8 4
/COM4 2E8 3
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 LAN+56K Modem COMBO PC Card are functional:
I/O Port Assignment
NIC Register Access
On-board RAM Buffer Test
Loopback through ENC
Loopback through ENA
Loopback 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 Combo PC Card, automatically determines the Combo PC Card
as a FAX/Modem Card upon insertion, and configures the card and
slot.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
