STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATION SuperDisk For TokenCard EliteSeries LAN Adapters This software is licensed by SMC for use by its customers only. Copyright (c) 1993 Standard Microsystems Corporation. All rights reserved. Version 2.0 22 November 1993 Compressed Driver File SMCB20.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 3.11 or later, which is required to run the EZStart program 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 1.5MB 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 EZSTART EZStart is an all-purpose utility program that simplifies the following tasks: Automatically configure and test the adapter 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 installation and 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 View the configurations of all installed Token-Ring adapters 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, SMCB20.EXE, and EZSTART.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, SMCB20.EXE. The file name, SMCB20.EXE, specifies the family of adapters supported ("B" denotes 8115 TokenCard EliteSeries), and the version of the SuperDisk ("20" denotes 2.0). EZStart copies the network driver and any other supporting files from the compressed driver file to a location compatible with your network operating system. If your network operating system requires an installation or options floppy diskette, or your PC has a single floppy drive, you can build the installation or options diskette on the SuperDisk by following these steps: Make a backup copy of your original SuperDisk Load EZStart When prompted for the Destination Directory by the EZStart Driver Installation window, specify the floppy drive which contains the SuperDisk (for example, A:\) Note: If you prefer, you can extract all of the network drivers from the SuperDisk by: Change your default directory to the floppy drive where the SuperDisk resides. At the DOS prompt, type the following command line and press Enter: SMCB20 <\Destination Directory> In this command line: o is the drive where you want the extracted SuperDisk contents to reside. To extract the compressed files, you must specify a drive. o <\Destination Directory> is optional. If you want to extract the compressed files in a subdirectory on the drive you specified, include the name of that subdirectory after the drive. Note: There must be at least 1.44MB of available hard disk space. The following list describes some of the files contained in SMCB20.EXE: File Contents README.DOC This file. SYSMAP.DOC System configuration information that helps identify configuration conflicts.
