Ethernet+Modem/Fax PC Card User’s Guide

13.Reboot your PC. During bootup, the LAN/modem I/O addresses, modem Port and IRQ will be displayed. These are the actual values assigned to the PC Card. If any of the values in your Windows setup need to be adjusted, use these values;

LAN: IOBase=300

COM3: I/OBase=3E8, IRQ=4

Note: If Windows fails to boot at this stage, this is because the IRQ assigned by the ACC2218.EXE is different from the IRQ set in step 11. Remove the PC Card from the card slot and reboot your PC. Start up Windows then go to Network Setup; select the Client Driver and set the IRQ to the value just displayed during bootup. Plug the PC Card into the card slot and reboot your PC again.

13.Test the LAN function by connecting to a network drive from the File Manager.

14.Test the Modem function by dialing out over the modem. (Refer to Chapter 4 on Modem/Fax Setup.)
