CF232 USER’S GUIDE

3. INSTALLING THE CF232

3.1 DOS & Windows 3.1x

Operation in DOS or Windows 3.1 requires 3

rd

party Card and

Socket Services drivers to be properly installed and configured.
Follow your software vendor’s instructions on how to do this.

The CF232 requires no extra drivers to operate in DOS. Insertion of
the card should create a familiar “happy beep” as the host software
configures the card a standard DOS COM port. Resource allocation
and troubleshooting is all down to the 3

rd

party software and any

issues that may arise during configuration of the CF232 should be
addressed to the vendors of this software.

The CF232 has been tested with:

SystemSoft Cardware
Award Cardwizard

3.2 Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Me, NT4, 2000, XP

The “generic” serial drivers in these Operating Systems support the
CF232. No extra driver software is needed but you will need to
install Card Center Pro, or use the INF file that can be found on the
first disk of the installation set.

Installing the supplied Card Center Pro software that comes with
your product will copy the INF file into the Windows/INF folder.
Windows will use this INF file to “recognise” the CF232 card.
Alternatively, when Window’s does a first-time search for the driver
for the CF232 card, you can use Disk#1 from the CCP set.

3.3 Windows CE, PocketPC

There is no need to install any software for Windows CE or
PocketPC. Simply insert the CF232 card and it will appear in a list
when you go to set up a “Connection”.
