Configuration Options

Please read through the application section of this chapter before performing any
configurations. This section describes how to:

1. Configure your notebook PC running IrLAN with Windows 95 or Direct Cable Connection

(DCC) or ConnectIR with Windows 95/98/2000.

2. Configure your Windows CE handheld PC or palm-size PC.
3. Configure your Apple MacOS Powerbook.
4. Configure your Palm Organizer (IIIx, IIIxe, V, Vx, or VII).

Before You Begin — Needed Changes to Your System

The following pages discuss the steps needed for a successful notebook connection
to a network via EthIR LAN. There are a few changes necessary to achieve this.
Some of these steps may require your Windows CD-ROM in order for the system
to copy the needed files (unless the CAB files have been copied to your hard disk).
Also, some of these changes require a reboot. It may be helpful to do all these
steps at one time. Please refer to the page number outlined for each of the
following steps and read it carefully first, then perform the needed task.

Remove any Ethernet PCMCIA adapter cards from your notebook.
Verify that Dial-Up Adapter is installed in your network configuration
