78CHAPTER 4: INSTALLING DYNAMICACCESS SOFTWARE IN WINDOWS

The installation process installs the following required system components: Winsock 2 and DUN 1.3. For this reason, you may be prompted to reboot the system several times during installation. (For Windows 95 PCs without the DUN 1.3 upgrade, you may see as many as three requests to reboot.) When you click Yes to reboot, the installation program ignores the reboot and continues to install the software. This behavior is by design; only the last reboot request actually reboots the system, after the installation is complete.

To install DynamicAccess LAN Encryption software from the EtherCD:

1Turn on the power to the PC and start Windows.

2Insert the EtherCD in the CD-ROM drive. The EtherCD Welcome screen appears.

3Click NIC Software.

The NIC Software screen appears.

4Click DynamicAccess Technology.

The 3Com DynamicAccess Technology screen appears.

5Click Install DynamicAccess Technology.

The 3Com DynamicAccess Technology menu appears.

6Click Install 3Com DynamicAccess Technology for Windows 95/98.

The 3Com DynamicAccess Technology menu displays options for installing either DynamicAccess LAN Encryption Software or DynamicAccess Technology.

7Click Install DynamicAccess LAN Encryption Software Windows 95/98.

The setup wizard launches for either 56-bit LAN (DES) encryption or 168-bit LAN (3DES) encryption depending on the model of your installed EtherLink 10/100 PCI NIC and the EtherCD inserted in your computer. A message prompts you to exit all Windows applications.
