Introduction

Hardware Setup

The one-piece EtherFast 10/100 + 56K Modem PC

Card consists of both a PCMCIA-style PC Card and an

integrated cable coupler. It is different from most PC

cards that have a snap-on pigtail coupler, or “dongle”.

The integrated design means that you can take your PC

Card anywhere and you never have to worry about los-

ing or breaking your coupler.

The PC Card has two cable ports -- one for RJ-45

10/100 network connections, and one RJ-11 port for

connecting the LANmodem to a telephone line for dial-

up Internet access.

Installing the Hardware

Follow the directions below to install the 10/100 + 56K

Modem PC Card unit.

1. Turn off your PC and any devices attached to it.Your

computer may support hot swapping, which allows

PCMCIA cards to be inserted or removed while the

PC’s power is on. If this is the case, you don't need to

turn your PC off when inserting the 10/100 + 56K

Modem PC Card. If you aren’t sure whether your PC

supports this function, always turn the computer off

before inserting or removing cards.

2. Plug a standard RJ-11 telephone cable into the

10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card’s telephone plug. Next,

connect the telephone cable into a standard telephone

wall jack.

3. Connect a RJ-45 UTP cable into the PC Card’s RJ-45

port (the larger of the two ports on the coupler). The

port will automatically sense between 10Mbps and

Hardware

100Mbps connections and it will adjust the card to

operate at the correct speed. Plug the other end of the

RJ-45 cable into a hub or switch.

Remember that 100Mbps Fast Ethernet always uses

Category 5 Twisted Pair RJ-45 cabling or better.

Cables of lesser quatity and category will not work.

Be sure that your cables are free of defects and that

they do not exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length.

4. Locate your PC's PCMCIA slot. The slot is usually

located on the side of the PC. Slide the 10/100 + 56K

Modem PC Card into the slot with the triangle on the

face of the card facing up. Make sure that the card is

seated snugly in place. If your computer has more than

one slot, insert the 10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card into

the first slot (slots are usually numbered in sequential

order starting with 0 or 1).

After verifying that the 10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card

hardware and software are working correctly, you can

always move the card to a different slot later if needed.

The hardware setup is complete.

Hardware

About the Software

The 10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card, in addition to its

drivers, requires two different kinds of software in order

to work:

• PCMCIA card and socket services, and

• communication software

PCMCIA card and socket services are special software

drivers that allow a PCMCIA card to communicate with

your computer’s PCMCIA slot. Hopefully your comput-

er came with services pre-installed by the PC’s manu-

facturer that will allow your computer to run with a

wide range of PCMCIA cards. The 10/100 + 56K

Modem PC Card was designed as a “generic” LAN and

modem card that should run right out of the box with

most services. Popular services include SystemSoft’s

CardSoft and CardWizard, Phoenix’s PCM+, and

CardWare.

If your computer doesn't have PCMCIA services, or if

you're not sure how to get yours working, the 10/100 +

56K Modem PC Card comes with generic services you

can use to get the card up and running in your comput-

er's PCMCIA slot. In order to use the services you’ll

need to edit your computer’s startup files. You’ll find

additional instructions on using PCMCIA services in

the next chapter.

Communication software allows the 10/100 + 56K

Modem PC Card to dial out from your computer over

telephone lines, connect to on-line services, tap into the

Internet, surf the web, download files, send and receive

faxes, and much more.

There are many different ways you can obtain

communication software for the 10/100 +56K Modem

PC Card.

Software

• Use virtually any Internet, modem, and/or fax soft-

ware that may have been pre-installed on your comput-

er. Most Windows 98, 95 and NT 4.0 computers have a

built-in Internet dialer program, a modem program

called Hyperterminal, and built-in fax software, all of

which are compatible with the 10/100 + 56K Modem

PC Card. Especially if you’re going to be getting on the

Internet, we highly recommend using the software that

was pre-installed on your PC for getting connected. For

more details, consult the user guide(s) that came with

your computer and Windows.

• Buy an off-the-shelf package from the computer store.

There are plenty of Internet/modem/fax packages avail-

able at affordable prices.

• Obtain a shareware or freeware communications pack-

age from the Internet. If you already have Internet

access, you might be able to locate good communcia-

tions packages at shareware sites like http://www.share-

ware.com.

If you decide to buy or obtain a third-party communica-

tions software package, make sure that it is Hayes-com-

patible, which will ensure its ability to control the

10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card with AT commands. For

more information about Hayes and AT, see page 50.

About COM Ports, IRQs, and I/O Values

Like many peripheral devices, the 10/100 + 56K

Modem PC Card uses a COM port, I/O address, and an

IRQ in your computer when it is in use.

A COM port is a serial communications port that allows

data to be exchanged with the outside world. Most PCs

have four COM ports available for you to use.

Software

Also known as an interrupt, an IRQ is a particular slice

of your computer processor’s time. Most computers

have 13 possible interrupts for you to use, numbered 3

through 15 in sequential order. You must choose an

interrupt not already in use by another device.

An I/O base address is the input/output area of your

computer's Input/Output range that the 10/100 + 56K

Modem PC Card will use for transferring data between

the modem and the PC. The I/O value you assign to the

card must not be in use by any other devices.

In most cases, a computer’s COM Ports, IRQ numbers,

and I/O addresses are paired together to make determin-

ing the values to use easier.

Plug-and-play operating systems like Windows 95 and

98 will usually assign available COM, I/O, and IRQ val-

ues to the 10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card automatically,

making the card's installation quick and easy.

If you aren’t using Windows 95 or 98, you will need to

choose COM, IRQ, and I/O values for the 10/100 +

56K Modem PC Card to use. This can usually be

accomplished by checking your Windows Control

Panel, or if you are using MS-DOS, by running DOS’s

MSD program. If you’re not sure which COM, IRQ, or

I/O values to use, start by trying COM2. If it doesn’t

work, try COM3.

In Windows NT, you can use WINMSD to find out what

settings are assigned to the modem portion of the card.

Your COM port settings may have to be manually con-

figured.

Please note that if you are using any specialized dial-up

communications software, such as software from

America Online (AOL), you must set the EtherFast
