Client Driver Installation

6.1 Driver Installation

Before your computer system can recognize your ENW-3502-T
Ethernet PCCard, the driver programs must first be installed to enable the

card.

6.1.1 Driver Installation Program

INSTALL.EXE is the ENW-3502-T Ethernet PC Card driver
installation program. The INSTALL.EXE program allows you to do
auto-configuration where the program automatically selects the most
suitable option settings, or do a custom configuration where you
individually select each option setting.

6.1.2 Quick Installation

This section gives a brief overview of the installation process. (For a
clearer step-by-step procedure, refer to the next section.)

1.If the Card and Socket Services software is included as part of your
computer, it is recommended that you use this software when installing
your ENW-3502-T Ethernet PC Card.
A system with Card and Socket Services installed allows the PCMCIA
card to automatically configure itself. While the system is on, available
system resources and insertion or removal of the card will
automatically be detected.

2.Run the INSTALL.EXE program found on your Installation floppy
disk. The install program guides you through the installation process
and will install the network drivers needed to run the card on your
network operating system.
If you have successfully completed the installation, jump to step 5. If
installation was unsuccessful, then go on to next step.

3.Use the Card Service client driver, CARDGO.EXE, found on your
Installation floppy disk. You can install the client driver by typing

CARDGO at the DOS prompt or including it as a line in your

CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file. When installing the client
driver, it is important to note that the driver should be loaded after
Card and Socket Services are loaded.

Chapter 6 Client Driver Installation

15

4.Turn off your computer and insert the ENW-3502-T Ethernet PC
Card into the PCMCIA socket. The card is keyed to go in one way
only. Then attach the network cable to the card.

5.Now turn your computer on and connect to your network. If you cannot
connect to the network, refer to the Appendix A and B.

6.2 The INSTALL Program

Before you can use your ENW-3502-T Ethernet PC Card, you need to
install and modify some files in your computer system. You can make
these changes manually, or you can let the INSTALL.EXE program do
them for you.
This section explains how you can use the INSTALL.EXE program to
install the enabler and the files needed by the network operating system.

6.2.1 Using the INSTALL Program

To run the INSTALL.EXE program, type INSTALL and press <Enter> at the
DOS prompt. You should see an opening screen which welcomes you to the

6.3 Manual Installation

In most cases, the INSTALL program can make all system changes
necessary for using your PCMCIA 10Mbps Ethernet Card. But in some
cases, you may wish to make the change manually. This section explains
the driver and file modifications needed to enable your PCMCIA
10Mbps Ethernet Card.

6.3.1 Enabler

The PCMCIA 10Mbps Ethernet Card can be enabled by a Card
Service client driver, CARDGO.EXE.

CARDGO.EXE

The Card Service client driver, CARDGO.EXE, communicates with the
PCMCIA controller of your computer. This program is needed only for
DOS and Windows 3.1 systems. The INSTALL program will
automatically add a line to your CONFIG.SYS file using the following
syntax and format:

DEVICE = [path_name] CARDGO.EXE [/INT=x] [/PORT=xxx]

[/mem=xxxx] [/?]

where:

[/INT=x] Specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) where your card will be

indicated. Default value is 5.
The valid IRQs are 3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,15.

[/PORT=xxx] Specifies the I/O port. Default value is auto detect. The valid port

addresses are 240H, 280H, 300H, 320H, 340 and 360H.
[/MEM=xxxx] Specifies the Memory address. Default value
is auto detect.
The valid addresses are D000H, D400H, D800H and DC00H.

[/?] Displays all possible command syntax.

You can also run the CARDGO.EXE by typing “CARDGO” at the DOS
prompt or by including it as a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
After you executed CARDGO.EXE, you will see the following display
indicating that installation was successful :

Socket : 0 (for example)
IRQ Number : 05 (for example)
I/O PORT Base : 0300H
Memory Address : D400H (for example)

Appendix A

Troubleshooting for Windows Environments

These guidelines give you tips to deal with some problems on using
PCMCIA 10Mbps Ethernet Card. If the problems remain unsolved,
contact your dealer for assistance.

A.1 Windows 9X

1. Ejecting the card from the PCMCIA socket hangs or reboots the

computer.
Solution: To prevent this phenomenon from occurring, stop the card

by using the PC Card tool in the Control Panel or the PC Card icon
on the taskbar before you remove the card.

2. The card can not be detected when reinserted

It is caused by certain unstable PCMCIA status lines for a time when
the card is removed and reinserted. The Windows 9X drivers may
read an incorrect status during this period of signal instability, and
fail to detect the correct status of the card.

Solution: The card can be detected by clicking “Refresh” in Device
Manager.

A.2 Windows NT 4.0 and 3.51

Does the driver support “hot-swap” on NT 4.0 and 3.51?
Answer: Windows NT 4.0 and 3.51 are not plug-and-play systems. If
you want to remove the card, shut down the computer and remove it.
