2.1.1Client Driver Installation

The following procedure is used to install the IOP-241 Client Driver:

1.Copy the file IOP241CL.SYS from the customer software CD-ROM directory PCMCIA\DOS\CLIENTS onto the root directory of the system hard drive.

2.Using an ASCII text editor, open the system CONFIG.SYS file located in the root directory of the boot drive.

3.Locate the line(s) in the CONFIG.SYS file where the Card and Socket Services software is installed.

4.AFTER the line(s) installing the Card and Socket Services software, add the following to the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE = drive:\path\IOP241CL.SYS(options), where options are the IOP-241 Client Driver command line options discussed on the following pages. (Path is only required if the user places the Client Driver executable file in a directory other than the root directory).

5.Save the CONFIG.SYS file and exit the text editor.

6.Insert the IOP-241 into one of the system PCMCIA slots.

NOTE: Since the IOP-241 Client Driver supports "Hot Swapping", it is not necessary to have the IOP-241 installed when booting the system. However, by inserting the card before booting, the Client Driver will report the card configuration during the boot process thereby verifying changes made to the CONFIG.SYS file.

7.Reboot the system and note the message displayed when the IOP-241 Client Driver is loaded. If the Client Driver reports an "invalid command line option", correct the entry in the CONFIG.SYS file and reboot the system again. If the Client Driver reports "Card and Socket Services not found", then Card and Socket Services software must be installed on the system or the IOP-241 Enabler program must be used to configure the card. If the Client Driver reports the desired card configuration, the installation process is complete and the IOP-241 may be removed and/or inserted from the system as desired. On each insertion into the PCMCIA socket, the IOP-241 will be automatically reconfigured according to the command line options.
