Installation Instruction

Installing the 16/4 CardBus Adapter Mk2

For detailed product information, see the Datasheet.

The default ring speed setting for this adapter is 'auto-detect'. This means the

adapter will run at the same ring speed as the network (either 16Mbps, or 4Mbps).

To change the default setting, use Madge Assist.

The Madge 16/4 CardBus Adapter Mk2 is not designed for connection to a Madge

Local Ringhub or to a passive hub from any other vendor.

1. Read the EMC compliance statement for this adapter.

2. Connect a data-cable to the appropriate connector on the adapter: the 9-pin D-type connector

for STP cabling or the RJ45 connector for UTP cabling. The 16/4 CardBus Adapter Mk2

automatically detects the type of cabling you connect to the adapter.

3. Insert the adapter into a CardBus slot in your computer. Do not force it in. If the adapter does

not go in easily the slot might be for 16-bit PCMCIA adapters only. CardBus adapters are

designed not to fit into 16-bit PCMCIA slots. (The slots on some computers are labelled "CB"

to indicate that they are for CardBus adapters.)

4. Make sure your computer has Card Services and Socket Services loaded. The version of Card

and Socket Services you are using must support CardBus adapters (not just PCMCIA

adapters). Refer to the documentation supplied with your computer to check that your Card

and Socket Services support CardBus adapters. For more information about Card and Socket

Services, see the table below.

5. Run Madge Assist to check that the adapter and its connection are working correctly. (See

Configuring and testing adapters with Madge Assist.)

6. Install driver software.

If you have difficulty making your adapter work, perform troubleshooting.
