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 1.3MB 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 Elite Ultra 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, SMCA65.EXE, and EZSTART.EXE
reside in the same directory.
To load EZStart, from the DOS command line, type:
[path]ezstart<Enter>
To load EZStart in Text Mode (instead of Graphics Mode), type
[path]ezstart/T<Enter>
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, SMCA65.EXE. The file name, SMCA65.EXE, specifies
the family of adapters supported ("A" denotes 8216 Elite Ultra),
and the version of the SuperDisk ("65" denotes 6.5).
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 (e.g., a:\)
Note: If you prefer, you can extract all of the network drivers
from the SuperDisk by:
Changing your default directory to the floppy drive where
the SuperDisk resides
Typing SMCA65 <Destination Directory> at the DOS prompt
(where <Destination Directory> is the path where you want
the extracted SuperDisk contents to reside)
Note: There must be at least 1.3MB of available hard disk space
Pressing Enter
