Infrared Support for Windows 95

A few notebooks manufactured during the initial release of Windows 95 were not configured with infrared drivers (despite having infrared hardware). This software utility installs and configures infrared drivers in such notebooks. See APPENDIX A for further information.

ClarinetIR™

The ClarinetIR™ software was developed primarily for mobile notebook users running Windows 95/98/2000 and PocketPC or Palm handheld devices. It allows users to access a LAN or the Internet when interfacing with any EthIR LAN system anywhere. The software ‘reads’ the EthIR Switch IP information and self-configures to interact with that particular system during an infrared communication session. No user intervention is required. Any user who wishes to gain LAN access via EthIR LAN switches should always use this software.

CSI Firmware updates

Periodically, Clarinet Systems engineers make improvements to an EthIR Switch’s performance and flexibility with new features and enhancements. This comes by way of Firmware updates. Customers can download the latest firmware updates from the Clarinet Systems web site: http://www.clarinetsys.com. The firmware is used in conjunction with the CSI Configuration Tool. Please refer to Updating The Firmware in Chapter 3 at page 3-12 for more details.

Software Installation and Hardware Requirements

The CSI Configuration Tool is for network administrators and is not intended for the casual user. Installation is performed on any Windows 95/98/2000 or MacOS notebook with an infrared port. Insert the CSI Media Installer CDROM, and click on the Install Configuration Tool button. MacOS and Linux users will need to run the program with a PC emulator.

The ClarinetIR™ software disk is for any Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP notebook user. Please refer to Chapter 4 ClarinetIR for more details
