Product Overview
Card Services and Socket Services Installation
In order for your BOCALANcard-PC to work in your laptop or
notebook computer, you may need to install Card and Socket
Services. Socket Services provide BIOS-level support to your
computer to allow it to communicate with a PCMCIA adapter.
Your laptop computer may have socket and card services already
installed. If so, you do NOT need to re-install these services.
Check with your laptop manufacturer if you are uncertain
whether or not these services are installed on your laptop.
Network Driver Installation
It will be necessary to install drivers after you’ve connected the
Ethernet adapter into your laptop or notebook computer. Drivers
for some of the more popular network operating systems are
included in sub-directories on the device driver diskette which
came with this package. These drivers are standard
implementations for their respective systems.
If you have any difficulty installing the drivers, then refer to
Section Two: Driver Installation for particular instructions for your
system. Also refer to the README files on the device driver
diskette. Review these files for the latest information about drivers
and installation instructions. NOTE: Some network operating
systems require some of their original installation diskettes. See
your network installation manuals.
Troubleshooting
If the card does not function after you have installed it and the
necessary software, be sure it is completely inserted and that you
have set all options correctly. If you still have difficulty, refer to
Section Three: Troubleshooting.
