Note:

 In order to be able to install the WL-3552 on to your PC running under Window NT 4.0, 

you will need to log on as “Administrator”. Also you will need to have NT Service Pack 4 
or above installed. 

 

A. 

During the installation, you may be prompted to load operating system files from the 

Windows installation disk. Please have this disk handy.

 

B. 

Since Windows NT 4.0 does not support “ Plug & Play “, you must enable the detection of 

PC Cards by the NT with following the procedures.

 

1.  Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel 

 

2.  Double click the “ 

Devices

 “ icon

 

3. Select 

 PCMCIA

 “ from the list and click the “ 

Startup

” button

 

4.  Set the Startup type to “ 

Boot

 “ and Click “ 

OK 

 

5. Click 

“ 

Close

 “ on the “

Devices

 “ window

 

C. 

In order to let the NT know about your new card , you must enable the Network support 

by following the next steps:     

1.  Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. 

2.  Double click the “

 Network

 “ icon. 

3.  In the “ 

Network Settings 

“ dialog box, you will be prompted to install Windows NT 

Networking in case no network has been installed yet. Click “ 

Yes

 “ and follow the 

instruction on the screen. If networking had been installed, you will see a dialog with 

several tabs. In the “

Adapters

” tab click 

the “ Add”. Windows NT Networking 

Setup will determine the type of network adapter card that you are going to use.   

D. 

When prompted to select a driver, locate the driver provided with Drivers and User’s 

Manual CD.   

E. 

During the installation, a dialog box appears asking for the I/O Base and IRQ resource 

information. In order to find out which values to use, go to Start -> Programs -> 

Administrative Tools -> Windows NT Diagnostics -> select the “Resources” tab -> press 

the “IRQ” button. Select one free IRQ from the list. Next, press the button “I/O Port” and 

choose a 0x20 free I/O space. Add these values into the dialog box. If at any point after 

the installation you want to change these values, go to the Control Panel -> Network, 

select the Adapters tab, press the Properties button, and fill in the new values. 

F. 

Next dialog box will start copying the files. In case there is a version conflict between one 

or more of the files being copied and the files in your system, you should normally keep 

the latest version   

G. 

Finally, when the installation has been completed, you will need to restart your PC. 

 

 

Note:

 If the card is not working properly after the restart procedure you should make sure that 

your system has free resources since it may show them as being available, although this 
may not be true.
