C-2 APPENDIX C: HOT-PLUGGABILITY AND SUSPEND/RESUME
■ Avoid hot-plugging a card when in a Windows for
Workgroups environment.
Your card does not have to be present when NET
START is run. If you plan to access your network in
your Windows session, insert your card before
starting Windows. If you plan to pull out your card,
shut down Windows before doing so. It is suggested
that you include your Network Address in the
protocol.ini file if you execute NET START without a
card present. This ensures that the system has your
card’s address even if the card is not present.
The following sections describe, in more detail, the exact
procedure to follow for each of the supported
hot-plugging environments.
Windows 95 (NDIS 3)
Windows 95 has built-in support for hot-swapping and
suspend/resume. Windows 95 recognizes the 3C389 PC
Card when it is inserted into a PCMCIA slot (or the cable
is attached to an already inserted 3C389 PC Card) and
loads the correct driver and configured protocol stack for
the 3C389 PC Card.
If you plan to disconnect from your network, complete
the following procedure:
1 Click the 3C389 PC Card icon on the status bar.
A message box appears with a message to stop the
3C389 PC Card.
2 Click Stop.
When the “Safe to remove message” appears, you can
either detach the cable or physically remove your 3C389
PC Card.
