Windows NT 4.0 Notebooks
You do not need to install Socket’s software, but if you
wish to hot swap cards, you must install a third party Card
Services program like SystemSoft CardWizard. Hot
swapping is the ability to add and remove devices while a
computer is running and have the system recognize the
change. For more information about SystemSoft
CardWizard, visit:

DOS Notebooks
Begin these steps to install Socket’s direct enabler software on a DOS
notebook BEFORE inserting the card. Please also note the steps below you
need to complete after inserting the card.
To install Socket’s direct enabler software in DOS:
1. If you have Card Services software installed on your notebook, disable
it. Contact your notebook manufacturer for help.
2. Insert the Serial I/O Installation Disc into your CD ROM drive and type:
X:\INSTALL (replace X with your CD drive letter).
3. Follow the instructions on the screen until installation is complete.
To activate the Serial I/O Card after running INSTALL:
1. Insert your Serial I/O Card into an available PC Card slot as described
previously in this Quick Start.
2. Type: STARTCOM
3. Your screen should display the number of the COM port used by the
Serial I/O Card. Make note of the COM port number so that you will
know the address of any serial device you attach to the Serial I/O Card.
The Serial I/O Card should appear as a standard COM port to any DOS or
Windows application. Socket’s direct enabler is discussed in detail in the
README.TXT file on the Serial I/O Installation Disc.
