This README.TXT file contains information to help you set up your Megahertz XJ10BT or CC10BT Ethernet Adapter Using the 32-bit ODI Driver and avoid common problem areas when using your PC Card. --------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Novell Netware with the Ethernet Adapter c. Windows 95 with the Ethernet Adapter 5. Manually Changing the Base I/O Range or the IRQ --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Configuring the PC Card As with many products, the Ethernet Adapter requires an interrupt (IRQ) and a range of I/O addresses. If you choose an IRQ or I/O address that conflicts with another device, you will get undesirable results if you don't modify one of the cards' configurations. --------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Specifying the IRQ When Loading the Driver When using an "int" parameter on the command line when loading the mhzodi32.lan driver, you must specify the interrupt number in hexadecimal notation. For interrupts 3 through 7 and 9, this is the same as integer notation i.e., int=5. When using a value of 10 (A), 11 (B), 12 (C), or 14 (E), use the hex equivalent i.e. int=B instead of int=11. --------------------------------------------------------------- 3. The Enablers There are two enablers on this release: NWENABLE.EXE is an enabler that is made to be used on a Novell NetWare server. It requires Card and Socket Services. ENABLE.EXE is a generic enabler for Megahertz products. It is designed to be used either as a point enabler or in conjunction with Card and Socket Services. Novell's Client32 requires Card and Socket Services, so ENABLE.EXE will not be used as a point enabler. Be sure Card and Socket Services are loaded before running ENABLE.EXE. --------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Installation Using the 32-bit ODI Driver A. Novell's Client 32 for DOS/Windows 3.1 with the Ethernet Adapter Follow these steps to install Novell's Client 32 for DOS/ Windows 3.1 with the Megahertz Ethernet Adapter using the 32-bit ODI driver: 1. Enable the Ethernet Adapter using ENABLE. Keep track of the Base I/O port and the Hardware Interrupt (IRQ) it uses. 2. Execute Novell's Client 32 for DOS/Windows 3.1 INSTALL program and follow instructions. 3. When you get the prompt to "Select a LAN Driver Type", select "32-bit LAN drivers." 4. From the list of Network Board Drivers, select "USER SPECIFIED 32 BIT DRIVER." 5. Insert your 32-bit ODI driver diskette into the floppy disk drive and select the A: drive. 6. Choose "Megahertz Ethernet MHZODI32." 7. Set the "Base I/O Port" and the "Hardware Interrupt" to the same values the Enabler specified in Step 1. 8. Continue following the instructions. *************************************************************** B. Novell NetWare with the Ethernet Adapter Follow these steps to install Novell NetWare with the Ethernet Adapter using the 32-bit ODI driver: 1. Insert the Ethernet Adapter into PCMCIA Slot A. This is important because of a bug in Novell's NBI.NLM that will be fixed in a future release. If you have two PCMCIA slots, check your computer's documentation to determine which one is Slot A. 2. Make sure Card and Socket Services are running on the computer. 3. Enable the card using the provided Server Enabler (NWENABLE), keeping track of the Base I/O port and the Hardware Interrupt (IRQ) it uses. If you're using two cards, it's easier to copy NWENABLE.EXE to another name, such as SLOT1.EXE, and create a corresponding SLOT1.INI file. The enabler will enable only one card at a time, so it must be run twice using different files. See the Megahertz Installation diskette. While installing the server, when you need to select a driver, press to "Install an unlisted driver". 4. Choose MHZODI32.LAN from the A: drive, and when prompted, use the same Base I/O Port and Hardware Interrupt the NWENABLE used. 5. Continue following the instructions. *************************************************************** C. Windows 95 with the Ethernet Adapter Follow these steps to install Windows 95 with the Megahertz Ethernet Adapter using the 32-bit ODI driver. Note: IRQ 15 cannot be used for the Megahertz Ethernet Adapter. If Windows 95 chooses IRQ 15 for use with it, you must manually assign a different IRQ. See section 5 below for information on how to do this. 1. If you are logged in to the network, log out. 2. Run UNINSTAL.EXE from the diskette. 3. Remove the Ethernet Adapter from the computer. 4. Install Novell's Client 32 for Windows 95 if not already done. 5. When you are prompted, insert the Ethernet Adapter and place the Installation diskette into the floppy disk drive. 6. Continue following the prompts as they appear. --------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Manually Changing the Base I/O Range or the IRQ If you are prompted to make a choice on the Base I/O range or the Hardware Interrupt with a Novell dialog box, do this: 1. Go into the Windows 95 Device Manager. 2. Go to Network Adapters. 3. Double-click "MEGAHERTZ CC/XJ10BT PCMCIA Network Adapter." 4. Choose Resources. 5. Deselect "Use Automatic Settings." 6. Choose an "Interrupt Request" that does not conflict with any others, from the following list: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14.
