CHAPTER 1
Hardware Installation
Introduction
The PRO/100 PC Card is the ideal high-speed, multifunction solution for
portable PC users. It supports 10 and 100Mbps Ethernet networks and
modem speeds up to 56Kbps for high-performance connectivity in any
environment. The PRO/100 PC Card plugs into your computers Type II
PC Card slot for simultaneous connection to an Ethernet LAN and the
telephone network.
56K Technology
The PRO/100 PC Card uses K56flex* modem technology to reach speeds
up to 56Kbps. K56flex Technology enables notebook users to access
information and E-mail on corporate networks, the Internet and other
online services at speeds up to 56Kbps over standard phone lines.
These higher speeds are achieved by avoiding conversion from digital to
analog lines in the connection between the user and service provider.
Ordinary connections begin over an analog line, are converted to digital
by the phone company and are converted back to analog in the final
segment before arriving at the service provider. In order to achieve 56K
connections, there can only be one digital to analog conversion. This
requires the service provider to have a direct digital connection and
therefore, avoids one conversion of the signal. By avoiding this conver-
sion, data download speeds up to 56K are possible. Data sent upstream by
the user travels at the standard V.34 rate. Also, the modems at both ends
of the call must be compatible to achieve speeds up to 56K. If the
modems at both ends of the call are not compatible, they will negotiate a
standard V.34 connection.
1-2 PRO/100 LAN+Modem PC Card User’s Guide
With K56flex technology, current country-specific regulations may limit
download speeds. Additional factors such as phone line conditions, can
affect the performance of the PRO/100 PC Card. You can find more
detailed technical information on K56flex performance on Intel's support
web site, support.intel.com.
Model
MBLA1656 Combination card that provides access to
10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks and
modem speeds up to 56Kbps. An Ethernet
Adapter Cable (RJ-45) and Modem Cable
(RJ-11) are supplied. It provides access to
both 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks with a
single Ethernet Adapter Cable, and auto-
senses 10Mbps or 100Mbps network speed.
Requires Category 5 (data grade)
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling
for 100Mbps network connections.
Software Supplied
Intel drivers and other software are supplied on 3.5-inch 1.44 megabyte
disks. All popular network operating systems, including NetWare, Win-
dows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, and Windows for Workgroups are

Additional Features
The PRO/100 PC Card is a Type II PC Card conforming to the Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) PC Card
Standard. It supports HotSwap, suspend/resume power management, full-
duplex transmission at 10Mbps, and Advanced Look-Ahead Pipelining.
Hardware Installation 1-3
HotSwap
This card supports HotSwap on a PC Card computer that is running
Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 3.x/MS-DOS using Card and Socket
Services. This feature allows the PRO/100 PC Card to be removed from
the computer, temporarily replaced with another type of PC card, then
reinserted without loss of the local area network connection.
Power Management Suspend/Resume
Power management features such as suspend/resume are supported by the
PRO/100 PC Card on PCMCIA systems running Windows 95 or Win-
dows NT, or Windows 3.x/MS-DOS using Card and Socket Services. This
means that when the computer enters a reduced power or power saving
mode, an ongoing local area network connection will remain active for the
period of time allowed by the network operating system
Hardware Installation
Note
Hardware installation requirements may vary with different
operating systems. For example, if your system is configured for
automatic detection of the card (for example, under Windows

NetworkAddress such as 00A0C9112233. If the user does NOT specify
a NetworkAddress then the M16B.SYS driver uses the network node
address contained in the PRO/100 Card information structure.
There are parameters in the Windows 95 registry which specify the
configuration of the EtherExpress PRO/100 LAN+Modem PC Card
hardware to the M16B.SYS driver. Many of these parameters correspond
directly to the user-configurable parameters. These parameters are found
in the registry at the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\CLASS\NET\000X
Windows 95 Installation 2-15
Caution
Under most circumstances it will not be necessary to make
modifications directly to the registry. Incorrect settings can
result in undesirable changes to the configuration of Windows
95 or NT.

also know the version of any software Service Pack installed.
Currently two versions of Windows NT are supported:
Windows NT Version 4.0
Windows NT Version 3.51 (including Service Packs)
Installation procedures are presented in two separate sections:
Windows NT 4.0 Installation
Windows NT 3.51 Installation

How Can I Tell Which Version and Service
Pack I Have?
If you don't know what version you have, follow the steps below.
If you know you have Version 4.0, skip to the Windows NT 4.0
Installation section. No additional version information is required.
If you know you have Version 3.51, follow the steps below to
determine what Service Pack version is installed. This information is
required in step 9 of the Windows NT 3.51 Installation section.
To obtain version and Service Pack information, proceed as follows:
1 Open the Windows NT Diagnostics application in the Administra-
tive Tools folder. The Administrative Tools folder can be found in
the Program Manager window (Windows NT 3.51 interface) or by
selecting Start and Programs (Windows NT 4.0 interface).
2 In the Diagnostics application, version information can be found
either by selecting the Version tab or by clicking the OS Version ...
button.
3 If the version is 3.51, be sure to note the value of the Service Pack
field:
For Windows NT Version 3.51 with Service Pack 5 or greater,
follow step 9a in the installation instructions for Windows NT
3.51.
For all other versions of Windows NT 3.51, follow step 9b in the
installation instructions for Windows NT 3.51.
