Windows 95 installation

Preinstallation procedures

Note: Windows system files may be required to complete installation of the AirCard 555 driver. These files are located on the Windows CD and may be stored on your hard drive in .CAB files. Ensure you have your Windows CD, or know the location of the .CAB files before proceeding.

Depending on how Windows 95 was installed on your PC and what devices have since been installed, your PC Card (PCMCIA) slots may or may not have been enabled and the TCP/IP stack may or may not be installed. Since the AirCard requires these, this section guides you through these steps.

Verifying that the PC Card slots are enabled

1.Open the Control Panel by selecting Start > Settings > Control Panel.

2.Double click the PC Card icon.

3.If the PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties window is displayed, the slots are enabled and you can proceed to the section “Verifying that TCP/IP is installed” on page 19.

If the PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard is displayed, the slots are not yet enabled. The wizard guides you through the enabling process. (Generally it is sufficient to click Next at each window.) When prompted to restart the PC, click Yes.

Verifying that TCP/IP is installed

1.If the Control Panel is not already open, select Start > Settings > Control Panel to open it.

2.Double click the Network icon.

3.Look for “TCP/IP” next to any listing on the Configuration tab.

·If TCP/IP is listed, you can close the window and proceed to the section “Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, and XP installation procedures” on page 20.
