1 Turn on the computer and start Windows 95. Windows 95 detects the card during
startup.
2 Follow the instructions in the Update Device Driver Wizard dialog box. Put the
Windows 95/98 Installation disk in the floppy drive and click Next.
3 After the system finds the installation files on the floppy disk, it displays the card
name, FEM656B - 3Com 10-100 LAN + 56K Modem CardBus PC Card-(Fast
Ethernet), and prompts for the location of the driver files.
4 Click Finish to copy the files needed for the Ethernet interface.
If prompted for the Windows 95/98 Installation disk, select the floppy drive
as the location of the files.
If prompted for Windows 95 files, supply your CD or type the path to the
directory where your Windows 95 files reside. Normally, this path is
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS.
Click OK to finish copying the required files.
5 If Windows 95 opens the Network Setup box, supply your computer name and
workgroup name, then click Close.
6 When Windows 95 prompts whether to reboot the computer, remove the
Windows 95/98 Installation disk from the floppy drive and click YES.
Once the card is inserted and the LAN interface installed, Windows 95 will detect
and install the modem software interface when it reboots.
After the modem is installed, run the WorldPort country selection utility as
described in "Using WorldPort" on page 29.
After installation is complete, a 3Com Modem Setting application is installed in
the Control Panel. Open Modem Setting to change the COM port assignment for
the LAN+Modem card. The default is COM5. You may need to change the COM
port to a lower number if you are using older software that does not recognize
COM ports higher than 4.
After installing the modem, be sure to select the country in which you will be
using the modem. Run the WorldPort country-selection utility as described in
"Using WorldPort" on page 29.
NOTE: If you remove the LAN+Modem card and reinstall it in another slot, the
first time Windows 95 rediscovers it in the new location it will start another
installation. If the double installation causes problems, uninstall one of the
occurrences of the card. See "Uninstalling the Card" on page 17.
