USING A MEMORY

A MANAGER

If your PC comes with a memory manager preinstalled, or if you would like to use one, you must configure your PC so that the memory manager does not use the same memory as your 3C389 PC Card. If you have more than one 3C389 PC Card, you must reserve the memory needed for all of them. One 3C389 PC Card cannot use the same memory ranges as another.

To determine whether or not your PC has a memory manager, edit your CONFIG.SYS file and look for the memory manager driver name. For example, when using EMM386, look for:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE ......

You must also consider your PC Card environment (Point Enabler or Card and Socket Services) as described in the sections that follow. For more information on your memory manager and your configuration files, refer to your PC’s operating system manual.

Memory Managers with Point Enabler

To prevent duplicate use of a memory location, the memory range used by your 3C389 PC Card must be excluded from the memory manager. To do this, you must edit your CONFIG.SYS file. In certain environments, LANAID will add the exclude statement automatically.

If you are using enhanced mode, 8 KB of memory must be excluded. If you are using compatibility mode, 24 KB of memory must be excluded.
