-
- This document describes how to configure the 3C562 card for
- use with Windows NT v3.51 (Server or Workstation), Windows
- NT 4.0, and Microsoft Windows Networks.
-
- If you have Windows NT v3.50 or earlier, you will need to
- upgrade your system to v3.51 or later. Versions prior to
- Windows NT v3.51 do not have PC card support, and therefore
- do not support the 3C562 card.
-
- NOTE: The following instructions assume that you have not
- installed any other network adapter in the machine.
- If you have been using a network connection on your
- computer, some of the following instructions may not
- apply or may produce different results. Refer with
- your MIS department for instructions.

- Instructions for Windows NT v. 3.51
- ===================================
-
- Before installing the network driver, you should know the
- following:
-
- - Transport used in the Microsoft Windows Network
- - Name of the NT Server domain or Windows 95/WFW 3.11
- Workgroup to which you belong.
-
- Also, for a successful installation, you will need:
-
- - Windows NT system installation files (either on
- hard disk, floppy diskettes, or CD)
- - 3C562 LAN+Modem card and the accompanying EtherDisk
- diskette
-
-
- Installation instructions:
-
- 1. Turn on the computer and log on.
-
- 2. Go to the MAIN group and select the Control Panel icon.
-
- 3. From the Control Panel, select the Network icon.
-
- 4. When the system prompts:
-
- Windows NT Networking is not installed. Install it now?
-
- click YES.
-
- 5. This opens the Windows NT Setup window. Be prepared to
- enter the name of the drive or directory where your NT
- system installation files reside. When ready, click
- CONTINUE.
-
- 6. Click DO NOT DETECT. Windows NT does not fully support
- Plug and Play and cannot automatically detect the
- LAN+Modem card.
-
- 7. When the ADD NETWORK ADAPTER dialog box appears, it
- displays a list of adapter names. Click the down arrow
- until you can select:
-
- <Other> Requires disk from manufacturer
-
- 8. When the list of adapters closes, click CONTINUE. This
- opens the INSERT DISK dialog box and prompts you for
- the location of a driver file. The driver file is
- located on the EtherDisk in the root directory.
- Type the directory path, A:\ and click OK.
-
- 9. Select 3Com EtherLink III LAN+Modem PC Card (3C562D/3C563D)
- and click OK.
-
- For installation purposes, the 28.8 and 33.6 versions of the
- LAN+Modem card are identical.
-
- 10. Enter the settings for the LAN+Modem card. Since
- Windows NT currently does not support Plug and Play, you
- must supply the appropriate settings for the card. In
- most cases, the default settings will work, but if you
- are unsure about what settings to use, ask your system
- administrator or MIS department. When the settings are
- entered, click OK to open the Windows NT Setup dialog
- box.
-
- 11. In the Windows NT Setup dialog box, select the network
- transport protocol that Windows NT will use. The TCP/IP
- transport will already be selected for use. If you have
- no specific reason to use TCP/IP, you may delete it now.
-
- In this dialog box, select the transport appropriate for
- the network client. Most Microsoft NT networks use the
- NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport. If you are not sure,
- ask your system administrator or MIS department.
-
- When Windows NT Setup is complete, click OK to open the
- Network Settings dialog box.
-
- 12. Click CONTINUE to open the Windows NT Setup screen.
- Supply the name of the drive or directory where your NT
- system installation files reside and click CONTINUE.
- This returns you to the Network Settings dialog box.
-
- 13. Click OK to open the NW Link IPX/SPX Protocol Configuration
- dialog box. For most networks, AUTO DETECTED will work.
- When done selecting the frame type, click OK.
-
- 14. The next window is the Domain/Workgroup Settings window.
- Select the appropriate domain or workgroup name for
- Windows Networking and click OK. (This name has nothing
- to do with the Novell client.)
-
- When these steps are complete, you must restart your computer.
- Remove the EtherDisk diskette from Drive A and press the
- Restart button.
