Installation 2-5
Using Card and Socket Services Support
You can use third-party Card Services Super Client drivers to activate your PC
Card. They are available from several vendors like SystemSoft, Phoenix, AMI,
DataBook and Award, just to name a few. The Card Services software, once
installed, stores information like memory blocks, I/O ports, or interrupt levels in
the Card Information System (CIS) databank for card recognition. Information in
the CIS can be extracted for use with resource allocation. Please refer to the
specific Card Services installed in your computer for detailed information. CIS
contents are organized as shown in the following example:
Item 1: Accton
Item 2: EN2218-PCMCIA-Ethernet
Item 3: EN2218
Item 4: R01
Note
: When the PC Card is inserted into the PCMCIA slot, it is automatically
detected by the Card Services Super Client driver.
Using Client Drivers
Accton’s Client Drivers are located in the driver diskette. They can be used to
directly activate the Card. Client drivers can still work even without Card and
Socket Services Support software. The following sections describe installation
procedures for the PC Card on some of the more popular operating system
platforms running Novell NetWare.
Installing under DOS
1. Reserve at least 64 KB of memory by including the following in your
CONFIG.SYS file:
Device=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
We strongly advise that you reserve a portion of the memory during the bootup
process to be used by the Client driver. The Client driver may still work
without this, but if reserved memory is not available, you may not be able to
start up the LAN and modem functions for the PC Card. Reboot your PC.
