STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATION SuperDisk For 8016C/PC Ethernet LAN Adapters This software is licensed by SMC for use by its customers only. Copyright (c) 1994 Standard Microsystems Corporation. All rights reserved. Version 1.3 6 October 1994 Compressed Driver File SMCD13.EXE DISK INFORMATION This SMC SuperDisk is designed to be used with SMC's EZStart Program, which is on this SuperDisk. EZStart configures and tests your adapter, copies the files you need from this disk to your PC, and displays or prints appropriate instruction files that are located on this disk. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS To use EZStart, your system must meet the following minimum requirements: o MS-DOS or PC-DOS operating system, version 3.13 or later, which is required to run the EZStart program o Card and socket services software -- compliant with PCMCIA specification version 2.01 or higher -- must already be installed on your computer. Otherwise, you cannot access your computer's PCMCIA slot(s). For more information, refer to the SMC EliteCard PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter User Guide. o To take advantage of EZStart's graphics features, a VGA or better monitor; however, EZStart can operate in text mode on any monitor o A minimum amount of available hard disk space (typically 50KB) for installing a single driver from the SuperDisk using EZStart OR At least 1.44MB of available hard disk space if you intend to extract all of the drivers from the SuperDisk Note: Refer to the "Installing A Network Driver" section later in this document or the User Manual for more information on copying driver files from the SuperDisk. USING CARD AND SOCKET SERVICES SOFTWARE Your SMC EliteCard PCMCIA Ethernet adapter is supplied with Card and Socket Services (CSS) software. If your computer does not have CSS software, or the version of CSS software predates version 2.00, install the CSS software supplied with your SMC EliteCard PCMCIA Ethernet adapter. Otherwise, when you run EZStart, a message tells you that CSS has not been detected; EZStart then closes and returns you to the DOS prompt. The EliteCard PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter User Guide contains instructions for installing the supplied CSS software. Note: If you have a Compaq Concerto, use the CSS software supplied with your computer, regardless of the version. Appendix A in the EliteCard PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter User Guide contains additional information about using your EliteCard on various hardware platforms. If you install the supplied CSS software, you will find that CSS places statements in your CONFIG.SYS file that automatically load the ATADRV.SYS and SRAMDRV.SYS drivers each time you boot your system. If you will not be using a PCMCIA hard drive card or an SRAM memory card, you can delete these drivers from your CONFIG.SYS file to make more memory available. Note: If you change system resources (such as disabling a serial or parallel port and then enabling it at a later time), your system may allocate the same resources to more than one port, resulting in an IRQ or RAM conflict. If this occurs, remove your SMC EliteCard PCMCIA adapter from the socket, then run the CSALLOC /D command. For more information, refer to Chapter 5 in the EliteCard PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter User Guide. If you experience other problems connecting your laptop computer to your network when using your EliteCard, the problem may be caused by your computer BIOS. Contact your computer dealer to see if a BIOS upgrade is available for your computer. USING EZSTART EZStart is an all-purpose utility program that simplifies the following tasks: Install card and socket services software compliant with PCMCIA specification version 2.01 or higher, if this software is not currently installed on your computer. Install the network driver Install and configure PC Agent/SNMP software, and view network management information it collects In addition, EZStart makes it easy to perform optional diagnostic procedures: Manually configure the adapter by selecting a value for each configuration option on an individual basis Test two or more adapters communicating with each other over your actual network LOADING EZSTART EZStart can run from the diskette, or for faster operation it can be copied onto a hard disk and run from there. Note: To run EZStart from the hard disk, copy all the files from the SuperDisk to your computer's hard disk. However, make sure that the compressed driver file, SMCD13.EXE, EZSTART.EXE, and ADAPTER.EXE reside in the same directory. To load EZStart, from the DOS command line, type: [path]ezstart To load EZStart in Text Mode (instead of Graphics Mode), type [path]ezstart/T To load EZStart from Microsoft Windows, select the File menu in Program Manager. When the Run dialog box appears, type: [path]ezstart in the Command Line box, then select the OK button. INSTALLING A NETWORK DRIVER EZStart accesses network driver files through the compressed driver file, SMCD13.EXE. The file name, SMCD13.EXE, specifies the family of adapters supported ("D" denotes 8016C/PC PCMCIA card), and the version of the SuperDisk ("13" denotes 1.3). EZStart copies the network driver and any other supporting files from the compressed driver file to a location compatible with your network operating system. Creating an Installation or Options Diskette: If your network operating system requires an installation or options floppy diskette, you can build it by following these steps: Run EZStart from the hard disk as described above in the section titled LOADING EZSTART. If card and socket services is not already installed, or if your computer has an installed version of card and socket services with a version earlier than 2.01, then exit EZStart to return to the DOS prompt, change to the drive containing the SuperDisk, and type "install". For more information, refer to the SMC EliteCard PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter User Guide. Note: To access your computer's PCMCIA slot(s), you must have card and socket services software compliant with PCMCIA specification version 2.01 or higher installed on your computer. Select the Drivers button from the EZStart main screen. When prompted for the Destination Directory by the EZStart Driver Installation window, specify a floppy drive (e.g., A:\). Insert a floppy disk into the specified drive and press Enter. The driver and appropriate configuration files will be copied to the floppy diskette. The floppy disk can now be used as an installation or options diskette. When configuring your networking software to use the SMC driver, insert the floppy diskette when prompted to insert an installation or options diskette. Extracting All Driver Files to Hard Disk: If you prefer, you can extract all of the network drivers from the SuperDisk to your hard disk by: Changing your default directory to the floppy drive where the SuperDisk resides. Typing SMCD13 at the DOS prompt (where is the path where you want the extracted SuperDisk contents to reside). Note: There must be at least 1.44MB of available hard disk space. Pressing Enter. Drivers for many LAN operating systems and software utilities are also available through EZStart. The following list describes them: Utilities/ Contents Drivers DOS ODI Open data-link interface driver to be used with ODI protocol stacks. EZSTART Documentation for the EZStart Program. MS LAN (.DOS and .OS2) Microsoft LAN Manager drivers. MANAGER NDIS DOS and OS/2 NDIS drivers to be used with NDIS- compliant network operating systems and protocol stacks. Subdirectories contain documentation and .INI files for specific network operating systems. PCAGENT Documentation and driver for SMC's PC Agent/SNMP network-management utility. In addition to the driver or utility program itself, each driver has the following associated files: o An INSTALL.DOC or other .DOC file that explains how to install and use the software; and o A RELEASE.DOC file that states the current version, release date, and any improvements made in this version of the software.
