Some operating systems (such as Windows 95) or card and
socket services applications detect the card as soon as you
insert it, then immediately prompt for the information
required to install your network drivers. Experienced users
may install the card in this way. However, if you want to
install the help, diagnostic, and support utilities provided
for the LAN+Modem card, you must run Setup (see
"Running Setup" in Chapter 3).

Connecting to a Network

1 Verify that you have the cable appropriate for the
network cable at your site.
2 Attach the network connector at the end of the
network cable to the LAN port (Figure 2) on the
LAN+Modem card.
3 Connect one end of the RJ-45 extension cable to the
network connector and the other end to the network
segment (Figure 4).
The LEDs on the network connector are described in
Chapter 9. They will light when the network driver is
installed and you are connected to the network.
