SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
For Windows 95
Insert the Serial PC Card into the PCMCIA socket of your notebook computer.
Once the Serial PC Card is inserted properly, Windows 95 will detect the new device
automatically and prompt you a screen to begin the software installation.
Insert the Serial PC Card device driver diskette into your floppy disk drive. Click
“Next” button to continue.
Press ENTER or click Finish to continue. If the working directory is not drive A, click
Other Locations for manually searching for a driver. The installation will proceed
automatically.
You may go to the Device Manager to check if the device driver is installed properly
as the following figure illustrates. (Go to My computer. Click mouse right button,
click Property. Select Device Manage.)
For Windows NT
Because Windows NT doesn’t support Plug-and-play, your Serial PC Card must be
inserted before the computer is powered on. Windows NT will automatically detect
the presence of the Serial PC Card and set up the configuration. The available COM
ports settings are : COM1 => 3F8; COM2 => 2F8; COM3 => 3E8; COM4 => 2E8
The IRQ could be one of 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,15, and will be auto detected by the
system.
