Windows 95 installation
Preinstallation procedures
Note: Windows system files may be required to complete installation
of the AirCard 555 driver. These files are located on the Windows CD
and may be stored on your hard drive in .CAB files. Ensure you have
your Windows CD, or know the location of the .CAB files before
proceeding.
Depending on how Windows 95 was installed on your PC and
what devices have since been installed, your PC Card
(PCMCIA) slots may or may not have been enabled and the
TCP/IP stack may or may not be installed. Since the AirCard
requires these, this section guides you through these steps.
Verifying that the PC Card slots are enabled
1. Open the Control Panel by selecting
Start > Settings >
Control Panel
.
2. Double click the PC Card icon.
3. If the PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties window is displayed,
the slots are enabled and you can proceed to the section
Verifying that TCP/IP is installed” on page 19.
If the PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard is displayed, the slots are
not yet enabled. The wizard guides you through the
enabling process. (Generally it is sufficient to click
Next at
each window.) When prompted to restart the PC, click
Yes.
Verifying that TCP/IP is installed
1. If the Control Panel is not already open, select
Start >
Settings > Control Panel
to open it.
2. Double click the Network icon.
3. Look for “TCP/IP” next to any listing on the Configuration
tab.
· If TCP/IP is listed, you can close the window and
proceed to the section “Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, and
XP installation procedures” on page 20.
