DOS and Windows 3.1x Most portable computers include some form of Card and Socket Services. This software enables the computerOs internal PCMCIA controller to operate. If Card and Socket Services are installed, Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 do not require any special drivers to communicate with the Modem; install the communications software to use the Modem. If the version of the Modem purchased included communications software, see chapter 5, OInstalling the Communications Software.O If unsure whether Card and Socket Services are installed, insert the Modem. If the computer beeps, the Modem should be configured and ready to use. If Card and Socket Services are not installed, the Point Enabler software mustbe installed. Installing Point Enabler If the computer does not have Card and Socket Services, the OPoint EnablerO software must be installed. This software provides MS-DOS with the necessary drivers to interface with the Modem, but the ability to Ohot swapO the Modem is lost. Point Enabler must be reinstalled whenever the Modem is removed. To install Point Enabler: 1. Insert the DataLink Installation CD included with the Modem into the computerOs CD-ROM drive. 2. Find pmxfm.exe and copy it to the root directory of the computerOs default hard drive. DataLink V.90 PCMCIA Fax Modem 3. To run Point Enabler, enter the following at the DOS prompt: pmxfm c=x i=y and then press the Enter key on the keyboard. In the entry above, x specifies the COM port number (1-4) and y specifies the Interrupt (IRQ) used (1-15). Using 3 for the COM port and 9 for the IRQ works inmost computers. 4. Once the driver software is loaded and working correctly, add the entry to your autoexec.bat file to run Point Enabler every time the computer is turned on. Example: pmxfm c=3 i=9 5. The config.sys file may need to be modified to exclude an address range when using Point Enabler. The two examples below show the most effective ranges and work with the majority of computers. Example A shows the most common exclusion range. Example B is an alternative if Example A does not work. Add a line to your config.sys file, as follows: Example A: device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=d000-dfff Example B: device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=c800-c8ff x=d000-dfff ote: Point Enabler is used for computers without Card and Socket Services software only. Also, Point Enabler operates in the DOS and Windows 3.1x environment exclusively. Do not use Point Enabler with a Cardbus-capable notebook computer or a computer running the Windows 95 (or newer) operating system. The computer is configured to use the Modem. Next, go to chapter 3, OInstalling the Modem,O to continue installing and configuring the Modem. Windows 95 and 98 If the Modem is the first PC Card purchased for the notebook computer, ensure the computerOs PCMCIA controller has been initialized and properly configured for Windows 95 and 98 by following these instructions: 1. After booting up the computer, select Start, Settings, then Control Panel. 2. In the OControl PanelO window, double-click PC Card. A properly installed PCMCIA controller causes the OPC Card (PCMCIA) PropertiesO window to appear. If the ONew Hardware FoundO window...
