Installing the Software
Running Card Diagnostics
When hardware installation is complete, run diagnostics to check the card and the
network cabling with the 1Step program. 1Step is in the root directory of the
driver diskette that comes with the package. Run diagnostics by selecting the Test
Adapter command from the Action Menu. For more information, see Chapter 3 on
Using 1Step.
Card and Socket Services Support
Portable PCs with one or more PCMCIA slots normally have a PCMCIA socket
controller chip built-in. The socket controller looks after requests from PCMCIA
cards, and handles the interrupts and data transfer. Card and Socket Services
drivers are normally shipped with these PCs to manage the socket controller.
Client Software Driver Installation
The driver diskette contains all the software driver programs supported by the
adapter. Refer to the RELEASE.TXT file for a listing of these programs. In
addition to the 1Step utility, special DOS commands, software drivers and
README.TXT files, the driver diskette contains a RELEASE.TXT file. It is
located in the root directory of the diskette, and provides information about the
driver diskette’s contents. Use the DOS
TYPE
command or Windows File
Manager to check the contents of the file.
If your network operating system is NetWare or NDIS, use 1Step to install the
corresponding driver. The driver installation programs for each operating system
are contained in separate subdirectories. Refer to the.TXT file in each
subdirectory for driver installation instructions.
From 1Step, press <F1> to get help for installing drivers for network operating
systems other than NetWare and NDIS. Refer to Appendix A for a list of
approved device drivers.
