This Installation Guide provides the following information:
- Installation of Card and Socket Services and DOS NDIS driver
for PC Card Ethernet Adapter.
Card and Socket Services Software Installation
If your machine comes with System Soft Card and Socket services 3.1
pre-loaded or you are using a Compaq Aero with PCMCIA floppy drive,
you will not need to run the installation program from the Kingston
Card and Socket Services Diskette. If you are using an older version
of Systemsoft's card and socket service or wish to update the
original Card and Socket services on the machine, run the INSTALL
program from the Kingston Card and Socket Services Diskette.
DOS NDIS Driver Installation Procedure
The Kingston Ethernet PC Card is factory configured to "dynamically"
load. This means the NDIS Driver (PCMDM.DOS) will automatically
configure the PC Card when loaded. When the driver is loaded, it
looks to the PROTOCOL.INI file for configuration information. When
it sees that all the values are set to 0 it uses the allocated
resources from the CSALLOC.INI file. It chooses a free resource for
each parameter. If the card successfully configures it will initiate
a Low-High tone from the systems speaker. For most machines this type
of driver loading will work fine.
To ensure that all resources are made available before running the
installation program (INSTALL.EXE), follow the steps below:
1. Before running the installation program check the following
parameters:
If you are using a memory manager such as EMM386.EXE or QEMM, the
D0000 Memory Range should be excluded. This parameter should be
added to your CONFIG.SYS file. For example,
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS (or RAM) X=D000-DFFF
or
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM ROM EXCLUDE=D000-DFFF
2. After installing Systemsoft's Card and Socket services and/or
updating the memory manager reboot the machine.
3. Once the machine has booted to a DOS prompt (not a DOS window
from within Microsoft's Windows), Change to the CARDSOFT
subdirectory by entering "CD \CARDSOFT" <ENTER>.
4. Enter "CSALLOC /R" <ENTER>.
5. Ensure that the MEM statement includes the same memory range
excluded from the memory manager. If not, type "CSALLOC /S"
<ENTER>. This will scan the system for available resources. If
the memory is already shown continue to step 6.
6. Now continue with the MS LAN Manager DOS NDIS Driver Installation.
Installing FTP PC/TCP OnNet 1.2 NDIS 2 driver
1. Make sure the EtheRx PC card is properly installed in
your computer.
2. Insert "PC/TCP for DOS/Windows disk 1 of 7" in the drive.
3. Run a:\setup.exe in Windows or run a:\install.exe in DOS.
4. In "Reinstallation" box, select "Add" option and click
"Continue" to continue.
5. In "Network Interface Summary" window, select "Add" to
continue.
6. Select "Install a new driver" and click "OK" to continue.
7. In "Network Card" window, select "Other NDIS Driver or
Updated Packet Driver" and click "OK" to continue.
8. When asked "network card driver disk", enter "C:\" and click
"OK" to continue.
9. Highlight "Kingston EtheRx PC card" and click "OK" to continue.
10. Enter all necessary network parameters (i.e. IP Address, ...)
11. When come back to "Network Interface Summary" window, click
"Continue" to continue.
12. Click "Continue" again to copy the files.
13. Follow instructions on the screen.
14. When installation complete, reboot the system.
*********************************************************************
Note: ONLY if there is a problem loading the driver should you try to
"statically" configure the PC Card. See below.
*********************************************************************
Statically Configuring the PC Card with DOS NDIS 2 Driver
For the machines that have problems dynamically configuring the Card,
you can configure the Card "statically". This means that the Card
and Socket Services will configure the Card and you will need to
manually change the Settings in the PROTOCOL.INI file. This can be
accomplished by using the following steps.
With this version of SystemSoft's Card and Socket services we have
included a Card library to assist you in configuring the Ethernet
Card. This will allow you to configure the cards parameters such as
I/O Base, Interrupt (IRQ) and Shared RAM Address. The following
steps will help you with the configuration and installation of the
Card and the Network Operating Software.
Before you can statically configure the card there are a few steps
that must be accomplished first.
1. From the root directory of the Kingston Drivers diskette copy the
file KTCLAN.CLB to the drive and subdirectory where the Card and
Socket Services are installed. Normally the directory is
C:\CARDSOFT. This can be accomplished by typing in at the DOS
Prompt:
COPY A:\KTCLAN.CLB C:\CARDSOFT <ENTER>
2. Edit the CARDID.INI file found in the Card and Socket Services
directory. If it is C:\CARDSOFT, type at the MS DOS Prompt EDIT
CARDID.INI. Scroll down to the [Libraries] section. there you
find a list of Card Libraries. Under the last entry type
"CardLib=KTCLAN.CLB". Press <ALT> <F> then <S> to save the
change. Press <ALT> <F> than <X> to exit the editor. Then,
Please follow the steps outlined in the following Installation
Procedure.
Installation Procedure for Configuring the Card Statically:
1. Before running the Installation program (INSTALL.EXE) for
Card and Socket Services software, check the following
parameters:
If you are using a memory manager such as EMM386.EXE or QEMM, the
D0000 Memory Range should be excluded. This parameter can be
found in a text file in your root directory called CONFIG.SYS.
Example:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS (or RAM) X=D000-DFFF
or
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM ROM EXCLUDE=D000-DFFF
2. After running the installation program your CONFIG.SYS will be
modified with the following lines:
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\SSxxxxxx.EXE Socket Driver
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CS.EXE Card Service
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CSALLOC.INI Resource Allocation Utility
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\ATADRV.EXE ATA Driver (PC Card Hard drive)
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\MTDDRV.EXE Memory / Drive Assignment
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\MTSRAM.EXE Memory SRAM Driver
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CARDID.EXE Card Identification /
Configuration Utility
3. During boot, after the Card and Socket Services have been
installed and after the CARDID.EXE has been executed listen for
a "Low-High" tone. If a tone is heard the card has been seen by
the system and been configured. Once the machine has booted to
DOS, change to the CARDSOFT subdirectory by typing at the DOS
prompt "CD CARDSOFT" (NOT a DOS Window from Windows) From the
CARDSOFT directory type CARDINFO /V | MORE. This will show if
the card has been correctly configured or not. If it is, go to
step 6. If not or the card must be configured to an IRQ setting
other than 5 or a shared RAM Address other than 0xD8000 or a I/O
Base other than 0x300, go to step 4.
4. Run the configuration utility by entering CONFIG at the prompt
and press <ENTER>. Press Enter again to get past the Welcome
screen.
5. Verify resources are available for the card by pressing <ALT> <U>
then <R>. Then press <ALT> <O>. This will bring up a Resource
Allocation screen. Available memory blocks entitled Memory
Addresses should be the same as the memory excluded from the
Memory manager. The other areas to check are the upper center,
IO Ports, and upper left, IRQs. To ensure that all resources are
being seen correctly press <ALT> <S>. You will prompted to remove
any PC Cards present, please do so then press <ENTER>. This
service will scan the system for all possible resources. Annotate
the available resources.
Normally the Memory range of 0xD4000 or 0xD8000 should be free
for use. A good IRQ setting is 11 or 5. IRQ 5 may be a problem
if the system has an integrated sound card. A good Base I/O
address to use is 0x300, 0x320 or 0x3A0. To leave this menu
press <Enter> then <ESC>, this will return you to the main menu.
To configure the card press <ALT> <F>, then <E>, then <ALT> <N>.
To switch between parameter settings press the <TAB> key. After
you have made all changes press the <ENTER> key twice. To save
this configuration press <ALT> <F> then <S>. To Exit press
<ALT> <F> then <X>. This will bring you back to the DOS prompt.
You will see a message to reboot the machine, do so at this time.
During the boot listen for the "Low-High" tone when loading
CARDID.EXE. After the machine has booted through to a DOS prompt,
Change to the CARDSOFT directory and run "CARDINFO /V".
Then annotate the I/O Base Address, IRQ and RAM address, for use
with PROTOCOL.INI file.
6. Use the information, I/O Base Address, IRQ, and RAM Address
from CARDINFO to edit the [PCMDM] section of the PROTOCOL.INI
file. The following is an example PROTOCOL.INI found in the
PCTCP directory.
[PROTMAN]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
[PCMDM]
DRIVERNAME = PCMDM$
IOBASE = 0X300
INTERRUPT = 5
RAMADDRESS = 0X8000
[PKTDRV]
DRIVERNAME = PKTDRV$
INTVEC = 0X60
CHAINVEC = 0X62
BINDINGS = PCMDM
7. The installation is now complete. You should reboot the system,
so the changes will take effect.
