Windows 3.1, DOS, and Linux Information
Windows 3.1 and DOS
Note: If Card Services is installed
on your computer, run Setup from Windows. Setup detects how Card Services
will enable each of your PC cards and also determines the resources that
are available on your computer. If you use ENABLE.EXE, in many cases you
must determine which COM port, base I/O addresses, and IRQs to assign
to your PC cards.
To install your modem, use the ENABLE.EXE file. The file can be run from the DOS prompt, by selecting File and then Run in Windows 3.1, or from your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file. ENABLE.EXE uses the default values specified in the ENABLE.INI file, but you may change any or all of the default settings when you run the application by using the following switches:
|
Switch |
Description |
|
/cn |
Indicates the COM port that you want the modem to use. You may use 1 through 4, or you can remove the switch to have ENABLE.EXE choose the first available port. |
|
/dnnnn |
Indicates a delay in milliseconds that the driver waits to initialize the card. It is needed only for machines with a Ricoh PCMCIA controller, such as the IBM 360 and the IBM 755. The value of nnnn is usually 500. |
|
/h or /? |
Displays a help screen. |
|
/imn |
Indicates the modem interrupt (IRQ) you will use, where n indicates the interrupt level. The value of n can be 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 15. 3 and 5 are good choices. If you are using COM1 or COM3 for your modem, the default IRQ is 4. If you are using COM2 or COM4, the default IRQ is 3. Your modem can use any IRQ that is available. The configuration of your computer determines which IRQs are available. |
|
/pnnnn |
Indicates the starting memory address for the modem. Values of nnnn can be Ch to EFh in 1h increments. The default is Dh. You must exclude the same memory range on the memory manager line in the CONFIG.SYS file. C8h-C8FFh or Dh-DFFh are good choices. |
|
/sn |
Indicates the PC card slot that the modem is in, where n can indicate slots A through H. The default is A. (There is no standard about which slot is A and which is B when two slots exist. You may need to experiment to find out.) If no slot is specified, ENABLE.EXE will cycle through all of the PC card slots. |
|
/un |
Disables the PC card slot that the modem is in, where n can indicate slots A through H. It removes ENABLE.EXE information from the modem's memory and turns off the power to the modem. If no slot is specified, all slots are disabled. |
|
/v |
Displays verbose status messages. |
For example, to indicate that you want your modem to use COM4 and Slot
B, enter the following at the DOS prompt:
ENABLE /C4 /SB
To add ENABLE.EXE to your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file, follow these steps:
- At the DOS prompt (C:>), type md \usr to create a USR directory on your hard drive.
- Insert the Installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
- At the DOS prompt (C:>), type copy d:\enable.* c:\usr. This command copies the ENABLE.EXE and ENABLE.INI files to the USR directory on your hard drive.
- To allow ENABLE.EXE to run every time you reboot your computer, use
a text editor such as Edit to add the following two lines to the end
of your CONFIG.SYS file:
[common]
DEVICE=C:\USR\ENABLE.EXENote: [common] is needed only if you are using DOS 6.0 or later. (To determine which version of DOS you are running, type ver at the DOS prompt.)
- Use a text editor such as Edit to modify the Memory= line in
the ENABLE.INI file that you copied to your hard drive. Memory specifies
the memory location that will be used to enable the modem.
If you are using Card Services, specify the same address that it is using. If you are using ENABLE.EXE, exclude the memory range that you will use with your memory manager. You should exclude a 4K block of memory. For example, if you were using memory location DH, you could exclude the 4K block for EMM386 by specifying the desired value of X=D-DFF to the appropriate line in your CONFIG.SYS. For example:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D0FF
Your modem is now installed.
Linux
Insert the Installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM does
not automount, run the following mount command:
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
After the CD-ROM is mounted, run the following commands
cd /usr
tar xvfz /mnt/cdrom/Linux/JetSetter.tgz
cd /usr/JetSetter
./install
JetSetter
To use the modem with your Linux system, the PCMCIA Card Services software must be installed on your system. If you are using a standard Linux distribution such as RedHat, Debian, Caldera Open Linux, Suse, etc., they should come with this support already installed or as an option that you can install. See the documentation that came with your Linux distribution for more information.
You can check whether the PCMCIA Card Services are running by typing the command cardctl status. If the cardctl command is not found or if the command complains about not being able to find a PCMCIA driver, then the necessary PCMCIA support software is not properly installed on your system. Consult the PCMCIA HOWTO, which is included in the Linux distribution or is on the Web at www.linux.org.
If you know that the PCMCIA support software is properly enabled on your
system, simply insert your modem and listen for the two tones indicating
that the modem was recognized and activated. To ensure that the modem
was installed correctly, enter the command cardctl ident #, where
# is the slot number where you insert the modem. A line like the
following should appear:
product info: USRobotics, USR0756-XJ/USR0756-CB
where the model number and product description match your modem.
The easiest way to access your USRobotics modem is via the /dev/modem link, which should be created automatically when your card is inserted into your system. Simply check to make sure that the file /etc/pcmcia/serial.opts has the LINK=/dev/modem line uncommented. Once this is done, simply point the communications software package to /dev/modem in order to use the modem.
JetSetter software will also report the Unix device file which has been assigned to your PCMCIA modem (for example, /dev/modem). You may also use the device file reported by the JetSetter software to access the USRobotics modem by using the command JetSetter -d. For more information about the JetSetter software, run the command JetSetter or refer to the Linux information in the Using JetSetter Software section in this guide.
