Installing a 232PCC in Windows 95.

The following procedure is used to configure a 232PCC for use with Windows 95:

1.Insert the 232PCC into any available PC Card socket.

2.The first time a new PC Card type is installed, either the New Hardware Found window or the Update Device Driver Wizard window is displayed. After the initial installation, Windows 95 will automatically detect and configure the card. If neither window is displayed, skip to the section "232PCC Resource Settings".

3.If your version of Windows displays the New Hardware Found window, select the Driver from Disk option button and click OK to continue. An Install From Disk dialog box should open. Insert the 232PCC disk, select the correct drive letter (generally A:), and click the OK button. Windows 95 automatically browses the root directory for an INF file that defines configurations for the new hardware.

4.If your version of Windows displays the Update Device Driver Wizard window, insert the 232PCC disk into the A: or B: drive and click Next. Windows 95 automatically browses the root directory of A: and B: for an INF file that defines configurations for the new hardware. Windows 95 will report that is has found the driver for the device. Click Finish to complete the installation.

5.During the installation, it may be necessary to supply the Windows 95 CD or installation disks. Two drivers are required for serial devices, SERIALUI.DLL and SERIAL.VXD. In many cases, these files are already installed on the host computer. If this is the case, click “OK” when prompted for disks and select the “skip” option. The version of these files that exists in the Windows system directory will be used.

6.Windows 95 socket services should indicate the 232PCC PCMCIA card configuration by a low-high tone beep.

The 232PCC should now be configured. Windows 95 automatically assigns the 232PCC to the first available COM port number. For detailed configuration information read the "232PCC Resource Settings" section. In the future, Windows 95 will automatically recognize and configure the 232PCC in this default configuration.
