Client Driver Installation
6.1 Driver Installation
Before your computer system can recognize your ENW-3502-T
Ethernet PCCard, the driver programs must first be installed to enable the
card.
6.1.1 Driver Installation Program
INSTALL.EXE is the ENW-3502-T Ethernet PC Card driver
installation program. The INSTALL.EXE program allows you to do
auto-configuration where the program automatically selects the most
suitable option settings, or do a custom configuration where you
individually select each option setting.
6.1.2 Quick Installation
This section gives a brief overview of the installation process. (For a
clearer step-by-step procedure, refer to the next section.)
1.If the Card and Socket Services software is included as part of your
computer, it is recommended that you use this software when installing
your ENW-3502-T Ethernet PC Card.
A system with Card and Socket Services installed allows the PCMCIA
card to automatically configure itself. While the system is on, available
system resources and insertion or removal of the card will
automatically be detected.
2.Run the INSTALL.EXE program found on your Installation floppy
disk. The install program guides you through the installation process
and will install the network drivers needed to run the card on your
network operating system.
If you have successfully completed the installation, jump to step 5. If
installation was unsuccessful, then go on to next step.
3.Use the Card Service client driver, CARDGO.EXE, found on your
Installation floppy disk. You can install the client driver by typing
CARDGO at the DOS prompt or including it as a line in your
CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file. When installing the client
driver, it is important to note that the driver should be loaded after
Card and Socket Services are loaded.

connect to the network, refer to the Appendix A and B.
6.2 The INSTALL Program
Before you can use your ENW-3502-T Ethernet PC Card, you need to
install and modify some files in your computer system. You can make
these changes manually, or you can let the INSTALL.EXE program do
them for you.
This section explains how you can use the INSTALL.EXE program to
install the enabler and the files needed by the network operating system.
