Windows NT Driver Installation
Since Windows NT does not have the “Plug and Play” feature
included in other Windows operating systems, installing the
AirCard driver requires more steps. Installation involves:
• Verifying that your PC card slots are enabled
• Checking whether Networking is installed
• Installing the network card driver (procedures depend on
whether or not Networking is already installed)
• Installing the modem driver
• Verifying that RAS (Remote Access Service) is installed
Note: You must re-install the Windows NT Service Pack after you
install the AirCard driver. Ensure you have your Service Pack CD
before you begin. (Version 6a is supported.)
