3INSTALLING WINDOWS NT DRIVERS
Before Installing the
Driver
Before installing the driver, you will need a copy of the Windows NT 4.0
installation media supplied with your computer or operating system.
You will also need the AirConnect Installation CD supplied with your AirConnect
wireless PC Card. Along with other utilities, the Installation CD installs the
AirConnect Network Configuration Properties Application in the Control Panel on
your system. Use this application to view and edit AirConnect WLAN adapter
settings.
If your site requires installation using diskettes, see “Disk Factory” on page 3.
Where the driver installation procedure mentions the Installation CD and CD-ROM
drive, use the diskettes and the floppy drive instead.
Installing the Driver Point enabler installation is a basic, manual installation procedure that will work
on nearly all configurations, including systems with third-party card and socket
services installed.
1Install the card as described in “Installing the PC Card” on page 20.
2Power up the system.
3When the Windows NT Setup dialog box appears, click Select from list for
Network Adapters.
4In the Select Network Adapters dialog box, click Have Disk.
5Put the Installation CD in the CD-ROM drive. Make sure the path to the CD-ROM
drive is indicated and click OK.
6When the Select OEM option dialog box appears, select AirConnect WLAN PC
Card and click OK.
7At the Windows NT Setup dialog box, click Next to continue.
8When the Windows NT Setup dialog box appears, select the appropriate Network
Protocols and Network Services. If you are unsure about what to select, ask your
MIS representative.
9Click Next, and Next again to start the network installation.
10 Click Next to start the installed network configuration.
For Windows NT 4.0 installation, you must have Service Pack 4 or later installed
on your computer. After installation, you may need to reinstall the Service Pack
software to update NT network files and eliminate error messages in the Event
Viewer. Contact your Network Administrator or Microsoft if you do not have the
current Service Pack.
