DOS Utilities
Diagnostic Utilities
The following diagnost ic utility ships with th e drivers:
•PCMCIA.COM—turns the PCMCIA slot on so th at th e other utilities can acces s the adapter.
The utility also turns the slot off.
•RADINFO.EXE—displays the adapter’s radio statistics
DOS Utilities Running Environment
The DOS utilities run well under MS-DOS 6.22.
For the PCM350 and LM350 PCMCIA cards, the DOS utilities do not use card and socket services for
configuring the cards; they pr o gram the PCMICIA socket dir ec tly. Therefore, an 82365-compa tib le
socket controller is required for proper operation. Many, but not all, socket controllers have this
capability.
Note If a utility program do es not run, use the PC MC I A .C OM utility to turn t he adapter’s slot on. After
you are finished running th e u ti lit y pr o gram s, use PCMCIA.COM to t urn th e adapter’s slot off.
