Section 3: Using the PCS Connection Card
3E: The Network Adapter Manager (Notebooks Only) 93
Depending on which card is primary, the Network Adapter Manager
displays one of these icons:
AirCard 300 is the primary network card
AirCard 400 is the primary network card
PCS Connection Card is the primary network card
LAN card is the primary network card
No network card is inserted (This icon is always displayed in
Windows 2000, except during PCS Vision connections.)
Windows 98 SE and Me
In Windows 98 SE and Me, the Network Adapter Manager can be used to
switch between the PCS Connection Card and other network interface cards.
Switching Primary Cards
If you initiate a PCS Vision connection with the PCS Connection Card
while a LAN card is primary, the Network Adapter Manager automatically
makes the PCS Connection Card the primary card. That is, making a PCS
Vision connection while a LAN card is in use has the effect of rerouting
data traffic from the LAN card to the PCS Connection Card.
Note: Switching between cards while using a network application is NOT
recommended. For example, if you use the Network Adapter Manager to
switch from using your LAN card to the PCS Connection Card while an email
application is running, the email application may behave unpredictably. The
recommendation is to close network applications, switch cards, and launch
the applications again.
