Note: Use the Windows NT Diagnostics window to locate an available IRQ and I/O space. Make note of the Com Port that you use to install the network card driver. You must enter the same Com Port when installing the modem driver.

Installing the Network Card Driver When Networking Has Not Been Installed:

1.Click Yes at the prompt, “Do you want to install it now?” to launch the wizard that installs Networking.

2.Click the check boxes on the first window of the wizard so that Wired to the network: is checked and Remote access to the network: is NOT checked. Click Next to proceed.

3.Click the Select from list... button to open the Select Network Adapter window.

4.Click the Have Disk... button to open the Insert Disk window.

5.If you have copied the driver from the AirCard installation CD to your hard drive, enter the path to the driver and click OK to open the Select OEM Option window.

6.If you are installing the driver from the AirCard instal- lation CD, enter d:\Drivers\WinNT where d is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive and click OK to open the Select OEM Option window.

7.If Sierra Wireless AirCard 555 is highlighted, click OK. The Sierra Wireless AirCard 555 should appear in the Network Setup Wizard under Network Adapters. Otherwise click Cancel and repeat the previous two steps.

9.Ensure TCP/IP Protocol is checked (as well as any other protocols appropriate to your network configuration) and click Next to display a list of network services.

10.Select the services appropriate to your network configu- ration and click Next. (For the purpose of installing the AirCard 555, it does not matter what selections you make in this window.)
