Ethernet card resources options
The Ethernet card requires system resources such as I/O (Input/Output)
range, IRQ (Interrupt Request) and Memory. Depending on which device
driver is used to enable the card, the user will have to choose the resources
for the card. There are two types of device driver.
•
Client driver CSDRIVER.EXE This driver requires a set of PC Card
Card service and Socket service compliant device drivers. There are
two options available: I/O Base address and Interrupt Request. All
others are handled by Card service and Socket services.
The default settings are:
I/O Base address
= 300
IRQ = 11
Option Available setting Default
I/O Base address (IO) 300, 320,340,360 I/O 300
Interrupt (IRQ) 3,4,5,9,10,11,12,15 IRQ 11

•
Direct Enabler directen.exe. This device driver does not require any
Card Service and Socket Service driver. This driver provides support
for Intel 82365SL Personal Computer Interface Controller PCIC or
compatible, Databook TCIC and other PCMCIA socket controller.
There are four options available: I/O Base address, Interrupt, Memory,
and Socket. The default settings are:
I/O Base address = 300
IRQ = 11
Memory = D8
Socket = Auto.
Option Available setting Default
I/O Base address (IO) 300, 320,340,360 I/O 300
Interrupt (IRQ) 3,4,5,9,10,11,12,15 IRQ 11
Memory (MEM) C0, C8, D0, D8 I/O 300
Socket (SKT) 0 to 7 0 or 1 Auto

2. Installing Network Operating System software
Before Continuing with the installation of your adapter, you will need to install
your network operating system workstation software so that the install program
can properly setup your adapter card configuration.
Once you have done this, you can run the install.exe program found on your
installation disk. (The detailed process is in “Using the INSTALL Program”
section) This install program guides you through the installation process and
helps install the network drivers needed to run the adapter on you network
operating system.
3. Card Service and Socket Service consideration
If you are using Card Service and Socket Services, it is necessary to use the
Card Service client driver, csdriver.exe. This program is on your installation
diskette. You can install the client driver by typing csdriver at the DOS prompt
or including it as a line on your CONGFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
When installing the client driver, it is important to note that the driver should
be loaded after Card Service and Socket Services are loaded.
4. Direct enabler consideration
The direct enabler, directen.exe communicates directly with the PCMCIA
socket controller on your notebook system. Most popular controllers (such as
the Intel 82365SL and compatibles, DataBook TCIC Sharp PHIC, IBM
ThinkPad, and Toshiba 3300) are supported. You can run the client driver by
typing directen at the DOS prompt, or by including it as a line on your
CONGFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
NOTE
Before running this program, it is necessary to install your network
operating software. The program will make some modification to some
of the network operating system files, and it is necessary for these file to
be present in order for the install program to complete it’s operation.
