#### Cable Requirements

- For connection to a 100Base-TX Ethernet network, a Category 5 (data grade) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable terminating in a male RJ-45 connector and connected to a 100Mbps hub or switch.
- For connection to a 10Base-T Ethernet network, a Category 5 or Category 3 network cable terminating in a male RJ-45 connector and connected to a 10Mbps hub or switch.
- For modem operations: an analog telephone line, RJ-11 modular telephone cable (supplied) and, if needed, RJ-11 adapter for the local telephone system (not supplied). Communications software is required for modem and fax operations.

Caution: Do not connect to a digital telephone line or digital PABX system. In case of inadvertent connection to a digital line, the Xircom Digital ShieldTM will protect your modem.

## IBM OS/2 Installation

#### Installing under IBM OS/2 (Warp 3.0 and 4.0) Using the NDIS or ODI Driver

This topic contains information on how to install and configure the Xircom Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 for systems running IBM OS/2 Warp versions 3.0 and 4.0.

Topics covered in this topic are as follows:

- Installation Steps for Warp 3.0 and 4.0 (NDIS Driver)
- Installation Steps for Warp 3.0 and 4.0 (ODI Driver)
- Modem Installation Steps for Warp 3.0 and 4.0
- OS/2 NDIS 2.0.1 Driver Configuration Notes (XCEMNDIS.OS2)
- OS/2 ODI Driver Configuration Notes (XCEMODI.OS2)

Xircom's Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 includes NDIS2 and ODI drivers for OS/2. Currently, the Card and Socket Services software in OS/2 does not support the Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56. Therefore, in order to install the Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 driver in OS/2, OS/2's Card and Socket Services must be disabled. Follow IBM's instructions for disabling Card and Socket Services.

Installation Steps for Warp 3.0 and 4.0 (NDIS driver)

The following steps should be followed to install the LAN driver in OS/2. When you have completed the installation of the LAN driver, go to the section below titled "Installing the Modem in Warp 3.0 and 4.0" to install the modem.

1. Remove OS/2's Card and Socket Services according to IBM's instructions.
   By default, the NDIS driver will be installed. If you wish to install the ODI client, the Novell Client installation program should be used. See the OS/2 ODI Client install section for instructions.
2. Run MPTS (Multi-Protocol Transport Services). For Warp 3.0, MPTS is on the desktop. For Warp 4.0, MPTS is in System Setup.
3. In the MPTS window, click on Configure
4. In the Configure window, select the LAN adapter and protocols radio button, then click on Configure.
5. In the LAPS Configuration window, in the Network Adapter section, click on Other Adapter.
6. Set the path as [drive:]\NDIS, where [drive:] is the drive containing the Xircom CD-ROM, and click OK.
7. Back at the LAPS Configuration window, in the Network Adapter section, select Xircom Ethernet 10/100 Adapter by clicking on it and then clicking Add.
8. In the Protocols section, select the protocols you wish to use by clicking on the protocols and then clicking Add.
9. In the Current Configuration section, click on Xircom Ethernet 10/100 Adapter and click edit to edit the driver settings. The default settings for the product will be displayed. Generally, the default settings should be used. The most important to check are INT and SOCKET. If there is a conflict, these should be adjusted using trial and error.
10. After reviewing the settings, click OK.
11. Click OK again
12. Click close
13. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete installation.
14. In Warp 4.0, a free interrupt can be found by running Hardware Manager (under System Setup). Under IRQ, look for a free one (the program shows which interrupts are being used).

Installation Steps for Warp 3.0 and 4.0 (ODI driver)

The following steps should be followed to install the LAN driver in OS/2. When you have completed the installation of the LAN driver, go to the section below titled "Installing the Modem in Warp 3.0 and 4.0" to install the modem.

1. Remove OS/2's Card and Socket Services according to IBM's instructions.
2. In order to install Xircom's OS/2 ODI driver, the Novell NetWare Client for OS/2 installation disks are needed. Insert disk 1 of the OS/2 client installation disks (the WSOS2_1 disk) in the floppy drive and run INSTALL.
3. In the NetWare Workstation for OS/2 Installation Utility window, click the Installation menu item and select the Requester on Workstation option.
4. In the 'Set Target Directory' Windows, set the destination directory (default is c:\netware) and click OK.
5. In the 'Requester Installation' window, select the option 'Edit config.sys and copy all files' and click OK.
6. In the 'Step 1- choose the ODI LAN Driver' window, click on the list box to display the list of LAN drivers. An Installation Message window will appear. Put the Xircom Network Drivers Disk in the floppy drive and click OK.
7. In the list box, enter XCEMODI.OS2 as the LAN driver to install, and click Continue.
8. The Installation Message window will reappear. Re-insert the Netware Client disk in the floppy drive (disk WSOS2_1) and click OK.
9. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation of the Netware Client for OS/2 software.

Installing the Modem in Warp 3.0 and 4.0

1. Make sure you have completed installation of the NDIS2 or ODI driver as described above.
2. Open an OS/2 window. Load the Xircom CD-ROM and type
   [CDROMDRIVE:]\OS2MODEM.CMD,
   then press Enter.

OS2MODEM.CMD will automatically search for the next available COM port. If there is a conflict, it will be necessary to manually install the modem. See the section titled OS/2 Modem Enabler Configuration Notes.

Manually Installing the Modem in Warp 3.0 and 4.0

1. Follow these instructions to manually install the modem without using the program OS2MODEM.CMD described above. Make sure that you have completed installation of the NDIS2 or ODI driver as described above, and that you have not installed the modem.
2. Load the Xircom CD-ROM. At a DOS prompt, copy the modem enabler (CMENABLE.OS2) to the hard disk drive using the following command:
3. COPY [CDROMDRIVE:\CMENABLE.OS2 C:\IBMCOM\MACS
4. Place the following line in the CONFIG.SYS file. This line must be placed before the line which loads COM.SYS and XCEMNDIS.OS2 or XCEMODI.OS2.
   DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\CMENABLE.OS2
   CMENABLE.OS2 will automatically search for the next available COM port. If there is a conflict, it will be necessary to manually assign the COM port. See the section titled OS/2 Modem Enabler Configuration Notes.
