See model descriptions below for additional information. -The EtherJet CardBus with Modem takes advantage of the PCI-based 32-bit bus provided by the CardBus slot. This eliminates the bottleneck of a 16-bit bus, thus providing high-performance 100Mbps networking. -Auto-negotiation of 10 or 100Mbps Ethernet connection rate upon initialization, the adapter will automatically adopt the speed of the network port to which it is attached, allowing it to be used seamlessly on either 10Mbps (10Base-T) or 100Mbps (100Base-TX) network segments. -Utilizes 56K Modem Technology which allows access to information and e-mail on corporate networks, the Internet, and other online services at speeds up to 56Kbps over standard phone lines. 56K Technology enables speeds up to 56Kbps when data is downloaded. Upstream data sent from the user travels at the standard V.34 rate. The modems at both ends of the connection must support protocols (V.90/K56Flex) in order to achieve 56K speeds. -Full suite of network driver support - Allows 10Mbps or 100Mbps connection across a wide range of operating systems and networks. Native 32-bit NDIS3, NDIS4, and NDIS5 driver support for Windows 95 OSR2B, Windows 98, Windows NT4.0, and Windows 2000 included. -Advanced power management capabilities including Wake on LAN, Magic Packet, and support for the ACPI and CardBus Power Management Specifications. The EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem automatically senses when the LAN cable is detached and reattached, and goes in or out of a lower power mode accordingly. This maximizes battery life. Support for these power management features is expected with a Windows 98 Service Pack Release and Windows 2000. IBM will provide updated drivers for Windows 2000 when appropriate. -IBM software which enhances the ability of Windows 95 OSR2 (950B) and later to support CardBus multifunction devices. -A Windows LAN diagnostic program. -Windows 3.x installation program - Automatically configures both PC and NOS setup directly from Windows versions 3.1 and 3.11. 2) Installation Notes with Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98 ====================================================== When installing the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem for the first time Windows 95 OSR2/98 will detect and install the LAN first, then detect and install the 56K Modem. After the LAN has installed Windows 95 OSR2/98 may ask you to restart the system before it detects and installs the 56K Modem. If you select 'NO' for the restart Windows 95 OSR2/98 will immediately detect and install the 56K Modem. If you select 'Yes' the system will reboot and Windows 95 OSR2/98 will detect and install the 56K Modem and you will have to restart a second time to complete the installation process. 3) Windows NT 4.0 Installation Hints and Tips ========================================================== -When installing the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem some notebooks may have resource conflicts with the default settings used for the adapter. If the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem is not working properly make sure that the interrupt, memory address, and I/O address do not conflict with other installed hardware. Symptoms for resource conflicts include: -Some systems may have a resource conflict with the Interrupt default 11. If there is no link light or the link light is flashing after installing the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem change the Interrupt (example 9,10). -If you have a notebook that has SystemSoft CardWizard check the version of SystemSoft CardWizard. The EtherJet CardBus Adapter is supported with CardWizard 4.1 and later. If your version of CardWizard is less than 4.1 you will have to remove it. The EtherJet CardBus Adapter will install WITHOUT SystemSoft CardWizard. CardWizard 4.1 does not support (hot insertion, hot swap). Upcoming versions of SystemSoft CardWizard are expected to support (hot insertion, hot swap). 4) Using EtherJet CardBus with Modem in Windows 95 OSR2 (950B) and later ============================================== IBM Enhancements for OSR2 ---------------------------- Windows 95 OSR2 (950B) and later supports Plug and Play of CardBus devices. However, OSR2 may have problems properly allocating resources to some CardBus multifunction (Ethernet + Modem) devices. EtherJet CardBus with Modem includes software which enhances the ability of Windows 95 OSR2 and later to support CardBus multifunction devices. This support is implemented in the NDIS3/NDIS4 drivers (IBMC.SYS/IBMCN4.SYS) and CBMFFIX.EXE. CBMFFIX.EXE is a program that helps Windows 95 OSR2 configure and use EtherJet CardBus with Modem. It is launched automatically at the end of the adapter's installation. The only indication that it has run will be a dialog box telling the user to reboot to complete the installation. On some machines, the program will detect that particular VXD files from Microsoft may be out of date. The window message will read "One or more of your system files are out of date". If after rebooting the adapter does not work ,it may be necessary to upgrade these files. If the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem works after rebooting your system it is not necessary to load the Microsoft files. The specific files are CBSS.VXD, PCI.VXD, and PCCARD.VXD. A self-extracting installer named CBMFIX2.EXE is available on the IBM CD-ROM. Select Start-->Run. Then type path/CBMFIX2, where path/ is the drive containing the IBM CD-ROM. This installer will copy the CBSS.VXD Version 4.00.1118, PCCARD.VXD Version 4.00.1119, PCI.VXD Version 4.00.1121 into the C:\Windows\System Directory. In order to function with Windows 95 OSR2, CBMFFIX places a "forced configuration" onto the slot the card is inserted into. Once this forced configuration is applied, no other card can be inserted into that slot. However, the EtherJet CardBus with Modem can still be removed and reinserted into the same slot while the laptop is running. If the adapter is moved into the other slot it will not be detected or work in Windows 95 OSR2 only. If you move it into the other slot refer below to 'Removing the Forced Configuration'. The forced configuration on the slot can be removed at a later time by running CBMFFIX manually. It can be found in the IBM\Apps directory. When double-clicked, the CBMFFIX displays a dialog box describing the forced configuration information. Pressing on the "Remove Forced Configuration" button will restore the slot to normal. A log of the forced configuration data can be found in the Windows\System directory in a file called CBMF.LOG. This log also contains the VXD file versions currently installed in the system. Removing the Forced Configuration -------------------------------------- The forced configuration on the slot can be removed by running CBMFFIX manually. It can be found in the IBM\Apps directory. When double-clicked, the CBMFFIX displays a dialog box describing the forced configuration information. Pressing on the "Remove Forced Configuration" button will restore the slot to normal. This should be done before starting the upgrade. The card must be inserted when CBMFFIX is launched. Known Limitations in Windows 95 OSR2 ------------------------------------ -Under Windows 95 OSR2 once the EtherJet CardBus with Modem is installed no other card can be inserted into the slot into which the EtherJet CardBus with Modem was installed. However, the EtherJet CardBus with Modem can be removed and reinserted into the same slot while the laptop is running. The adapter should not be installed into the other slot. -Windows 95 OSR2 (4.00.950b) may fail to load the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem when Windows 95 OSR2 comes out of Suspend/Resume. To make EtherJet CardBus with Modem load in this situation, click on the PC Card (PCMCIA icon) in Control Panel, highlight the adapter and click on Stop. Next eject the EtherJet CardBus with Modem and then re-insert it. The EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem will now load. Windows 98 supports Suspend/Resume with the EtherJet CardBus with Modem. -IBM 760/765 Thinkpad's currently does not support concurrent LAN and Modem operation with Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98. LAN or Modem operation will operate independently. If running simultaneous LAN + Modem in Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98 the Thinkpad may freeze. In some cases, having the latest BIOS update may correct the problem. Please visit the IBM Networking WEB site for the latest information and updates. -When using Windows 95 OSR2, Toshiba Tecra 500 series laptops require BIOS version 5.7 or later. Upgrading from Windows 95 OSR2 to Windows 98 --------------------------------------- -If EtherJet CardBus with Modem is installed in Windows 95 OSR2 and you are upgrading to Windows 98 the CBMFFIX is not needed and the "forced configurations" it creates must be removed. *********************************************************** *Please remove the forced configuration before upgrading* *to Windows 98. * *********************************************************** See the section above titled "Removing the Forced Configuration" for instructions on how to remove it. 5) OS/2 Warp 3.0 and 4.0 Notes =========================== - With This release the OS2 supported drivers are located in the \OS2 directory. -When installing and setting up the 56K Modem with your Communications package (ex. HyperAccess for OS/2), if you can not select the IBM CardBus Modem select Hayes Compatible High Speed Modem. 6) NOTES ON CARD SERVICES ====================== Note: This release implemented automatic driver selection and installation for all supported Windows versions, including Microsoft Windows NT4.0 with supported versions of third- party card services. No special installation procedures are now required, nor do special purpose drivers need to be selected for NT card services. For all installations under Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2 (or better), Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows NT4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft XP, the drivers may be found by pointing to the root of the CD-ROM, or of floppy diskette 2. Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2 and Third Party Card Services -------------------------------------------------------- Phoenix Card Manager for Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2: The Phoenix software must be de-installed prior to running the EtherJet CardBus Adapter. See the Phoenix README file for instructions on de-installing the software. IBM has tested with Phoenix version 4.00.48. SystemSoft CardWorks for Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2: This software is compatible with the EtherJet CardBus Adapter. No special instructions are necessary. IBM has tested with versions 5.32.11, 5.32.12 and 5.32.20. Microsoft Windows NT4.0 and Third Party Card Services ------------------------------------------------------ The EtherJet CardBus Adapter with 56K Modem supports manual installation under Microsoft Microsoft Windows NT4.0. Plug and Play installation and hot swapping of CardBus adapters are not directly supported by NT4.0, but may be supported through third- party Card and Socket services software. Some Microsoft Windows NT4.0 installations include third party Card and Socket Services software designed to improve PC Card installation and to support hot swapping. In addition to its standard NDIS3 and NDIS4 drivers, IBM has also developed IBMCNT.SYS and IBMMODEM.SYS to provide additional support for Phoenix* and Softex* Card and Socket Services software. With this release, the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with 56K Modem supports the following Microsoft Windows NT4.0 Card and Socket Services software: Card Executive for NT 4.0 from Softex (Phoenix Technologies) -------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: The minimum version of Softex Card Executive to support Softex PCI Routing is v2.86, this driver set does not support PCI Routing. Leaving the IRQ and other settings on "AutoDetect" is recommended NOTE: Concurrency is not supported with this version of Softex drivers. If network and modem connectivity is required at the same time, please visit our support website to download the Softex_Concurrent.exe file. Support for Softex Card Services are provided by the special Card and Socket Services drivers IBMCNT.SYS and IBMMODEM.SYS. These will be automatically selected and installed if your computer uses Card Executive. 1. Boot your machine. Insert the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with 56K Modem Adapter into the CardBus PC Card slot. 2. Once the Card Services software has detected the adapter, follow the onscreen installation instructions for your Card and Socket Services software. Insert the IBM driver CD-ROM or floppy diskette 2, and select "Install the driver that was provided with the PC Card." Phoenix Card services will automatically search the floppy drive for drivers, but if you are installing from CD-ROM you may need to direct the install to the root of the CD. 3. Working resources will be automatically determined by the install. Accept them, and after a short delay card services will announce that the card is configured and available for use. After the network drivers are installed, you will need to install the modem. Restart your computer, and proceed as follows: MODEM SETUP ----------- NOTE: Newer Fujitsu-Seimens* machines may require you to place the modem on COM2, I/O 02F8. 1. After the computer has restarted, double-click the Modems icon in Control Panel. 2. At the Install New Modem screen, verify that the "Don't detect my modem; I will select it from a list" option is NOT checked and then click Next. 3. Windows NT queries the COM ports to determine if a modem is present. 4. Once NT detects the modem, the Install New Modem window appears displaying the type of modem found. In most cases, a Standard Modem is displayed. NOTE: If the modem is not detected, try changing the COM port and/or IRQ. 5. Click Change. This action brings up the dialog box containing a list of Manufacturers and modem models. Click the Have Disk button. 6. Enter the path to the IBM files in the "Copy manufacturer's files from:" box.

Use the drivers located in the root of the IBM CD-ROM or of floppy diskette 2. COMM Port Assignment -------------------- See the RELEASE NOTES section below for information on the COMM Port assignment in Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2 and Microsoft Windows 98. 7) RELEASE NOTES/KNOWN LIMITATIONS =============================== Version 3.14 Release Notes -------------------------- -Support for Windows XP. -Corrected issue with multiple network destinations and routes under Windows 2000. -Improved OS2 support. -New keyword - LINECONFIGURATION - for OS2 and NDIS2 driver, replaces LINEMODE and LINESPEED. -New keyword - AdapterIndividualAddress - for manually entering MAC addresses with the OS2 and NDIS2 driver. -New keyword - NODEADDRESS - for manually entering MAC addresses with the OS2 and NDIS2 driver. -Corrected error seen on certain machines while using DOS imaging software. -Support for Wake-On-LAN (WOL) under Windows XP New Features =========== Automatic Windows Driver Selection and Installation --------------------------------------------------- With this release IBM has implemented automatic driver selection and installation for all supported Windows versions, including Microsoft Windows NT4.0 with supported versions of third-party card services. No special installation procedures are now required, nor do special purpose drivers need to be selected for NT card services. For all installations under Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2 (or better), Microsoft Windows 98 and 98SE, Microsoft Windows NT4.0,Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft XP the drivers may be found by pointing to the root of the CD-ROM, or of floppy diskette 2. NDIS Driver Selection --------------------- This driver release now supports NDIS version selection for installs under Microsoft Windows 9x, Microsoft Windows NT4.0, and Microsoft Windows 2000. For installs under Microsoft Windows 9X, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, or Microsoft Windows 2000, direct the install to the root of the CD (or of floppy disk 2) when the drivers are requested. The network property page tab of the EtherJet CardBus Adapter has a new entry "NdisVersion". This entry contains the following: Under Microsoft Windows 95OSR2: AutoSelect, NDIS3, NDIS4 Microsoft Windows 98: AutoSelect, NDIS3, NDIS4, NDIS5 Microsoft Windows 98SE: AutoSelect, NDIS3, NDIS4, NDIS5 Microsoft Windows NT 4.0: NDIS4 (default), NDIS3 Microsoft Windows 2000: "NdisVersion" does not exist and NDIS5 is the default driver. The NDIS Switcher is not used with Microsoft Windows 2000, and Windows XP. AutoSelect (the default) will choose the highest NDIS version supported by the OS. The user can also manually switch between the different supported versions of NDIS by going to NdisVersion in the network properties of the adapter and selecting the desired driver. Only drivers supported by the particular OS will be shown. Improved Windows NT Installation -------------------------------- This release contains additional improvements for Microsoft Windows* NT4.0 that allow faster and easier manual (without card services) installations. NT 4.0 alone provides no Plug&Play functionality, and gives little guidance in choosing acceptable resources. The drivers in this release incorporate a resource scan that checks for resources already in use, and excludes those resources from the range shown in the adapter's configuration settings. The initial default resources are no longer fixed, but are automatically set to resources determined to be available. This greatly increases the chances that the adapter will function without further configuration changes. NWay Auto-Negotiation Changes ----------------------------- NWay is an industry-standard way for hubs, switches, and network cards to automatically determine each other's speed and duplex capabilities, and set each device's communication settings to the fastest mutually supported speed. In earlier driver releases, as is normal in the industry, forcing the speed and duplex settings completely disables auto negotiation. This was done because the forced settings were meant as a backup when connecting to older non-NWay devices. When forced settings are used when connecting to other NWay devices, (perhaps to restrict bandwidth), the other device must also have it's speed and duplex settings forced as it cannot reliably sense the settings without negotiation messages. In this driver release NWay negotiation is active by default whether or not the settings are forced. Other NWay devices, even in auto mode, will be able to determine your card's settings and negotiate to match them. In cases where the standard behavior is not successful, the negotiation messages can be disabled. Some early NWay devices and non-NWay devices do not always respond well to negotiation signals. A new keyword, Line Negotiation, can eliminate the negotiation messages when the settings are forced. The forced + no negotiation messages settings also allow immediate link if required by any special circumstances. The keywords and their settings are as follows: Keyword Settings Behavior ------- -------- --------- Line Configuration Auto (default) Full NWay negotiation, 100 Mbps/Full Duplex Line Negotiation keyword 100 Mbps/Half Duplex ignored. 10 Mbps/Full Duplex 10 Mbps/Half Duplex Line Negotiation On (default) NWay messaging sent in all modes Off NWay messaging disabled if Line Configuration forced Version 2.60 Release Notes -------------------------- - Changed Memory Default to 0x55b84000 to correct the NT 4.0 resource conflict when certain notebooks had more than 96MB of RAM memory the adapter would not install correctly. - Added Auto Polarity correction, certain 10/100 switches (generally those using Broadcom transceivers) implement automatic correction for polarity reversed cables that is not completely compatible with the same correction provided by the EtherJet CardBus adapter. If the network speed is forced to 10Mbps, severe throughput problems may be experienced. To resolve this problem, a new Auto Polarity keyword in the adapter's advanced properties has been added. If needed, the default setting of ON (meaning that the card will compensate for reversed cables) can be set to OFF to disable polarity correction. This will restore normal throughput. - Added O2Micro bridge support for I-Series 1400/1500 Thinkpad performance problem to all drivers. - Added Ricoh bridge support to all drivers. - Updated IBMCNDIS.EXE driver for PowerQuest Ghost Imaging software. - TCP/IP Routing This release contains a resolution for TCP/IP problems that occur when the same network is accessed via a LAN connection and then subsequently via a remote dial-up connection in Windows 95/98. Typically, when the computer is connected to the network via the LAN, routing tables are constructed that direct packets intended for the network to the LAN interface. If the computer is then used remotely and an attempt is made to connect to the same network via dial-up networking, these packets may not be routed to the dial-up interface because the presence of the active LAN interface results in the system's continuing to route packets to it instead. In such instances, the simplest solution is to remove the LAN interface from the computer, or to use a network disabled profile. If neither of these solutions is satisfactory, a third option is now available. The drivers included with this release now support a new configuration keyword named "DynamicLinkDetect" to overcome this difficulty. The value of this keyword (ON or OFF) can be set by going to Control Panel-->Network--->IBM EtherJet CardBus Adapter Properties--->Advanced. The default value is ON. The activity governed by this keyword operates as follows: ON - The Ethernet interface is always active once the driver initializes the adapter. An Ethernet cable does'nt need to be connected to the port at boot time for the network side of the adapter to initialize. If the cable is plugged in later, or unplugged and then re-connected; the adapter will dynamically detect the presence of the link and connect to the LAN. This is the setting recommended unless the symptoms described above are encountered. OFF - the driver will only initialize the Ethernet interface if an active connection to the network is present at boot time. If the presence of an active link is not detected, the Ethernet portion of the card will shut down. As a result the OS will "assume" that the interface is not present, and no packets will be routed to it. As a result, the IP routing trouble discussed previously should be eliminated. -Initialization Delay Certain switches and routers are unable to immediately forward network traffic when a network adapter first establishes link to one of their ports due to initialization delays (generally while routing tables are being updated). This problem is most commonly seen when the network adapter is connected directly to ports on the switch. This may cause an initial DHCP request to fail or prevent login to a server. The adapter by default (when used under some operating systems) will have almost no delay between link and the initial network request. A new keyword, Initialization Delay, has been added to the adapter's advanced properties which will prevent forwarding of network requests for a user-selectable period of time. Delays can be added ranging from one to sixty seconds. In most cases adding a delay in the one to three second range will be sufficient to resolve the problem. Supported Environments ---------------------- The version number for the entire release of this driver set is version 3.14. The following environments are supported. Driver Name Description ----------- ----------- IBMC.SYS NDIS3 Driver for Microsoft Windows 95 (OSR2), Windows 98 and NT (4.0) IBMCN4.SYS NDIS4 Driver for Microsoft Windows 95 (OSR2), Windows 98 and NT 4.0 IBMCN5.SYS NDIS5 Driver for Microsoft Windows 98/98SE Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

This firmware is designed to initially attempt to make a V.90 connection, and then fall back to K56flex if the host being dialed does not support V.90. However, the host being dialed must support V.90 autodetect in order for a V.90 connection to be initiated by default. At this point in time many V.90 hosts do not yet support autodetect. In such cases it will be necessary to issue an ATS109=2 command to the modem in order to force a V.90 connection. Please note that if this command is used and a V.90 connection is not achieved the modem will fall back directly to V.34. When S109=2, fall back from V.90 to K56Flex is disabled. To set this value back to the default issue an ATS109=1 command. In summary, the values of this register and the resultant behavior are: S109=1 (default) - Negotiates initially at V.90 if host supports V.90 autodetect. If host does not support V.90 autodetect or does not support V.90 at all, will negotiate back to K56flex. S109=2 - Forces V.90 for PCM connects. If host does not support V.90, falls directly back to V.34. Changing the value of the S109 register can be implemented via the following means: -When using a terminal emulator program, enter ATS109=n (where n is the value desired). -To implement with Windows 95/98/NT dial up networking, go to Control Panel\Modems. Highlight the IBM modem and click Properties. Click Connection\Advanced. Enter S109=n (where n is the value desired) in the Extra Settings box.

See the HELPDOCS file on IBM CD-ROM for instructions on determining your version of Windows 95. -On some systems EtherJet CardBus with Modem may not load in the bottom slot under Windows 95 OSR2. Move the card to the top slot. -In order to connect to a 100Base-TX Ethernet network, a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable terminating in a male RJ-45 connector must be connected to a 100Mbps hub or switch. Check with your LAN Administrator if you are not certain of your network speed and infrastructure. -The EtherJet CardBus with Modem is designed to connect to a 100Base-TX network. It does not support 100VG-AnyLAN networks. -When running the LAN Requester install, the IBMCNDIS.EXE file does not get copied to the NET directory. The file needs to be manually copied from the IBM CD-ROM to the NET directory on the users hard drive. -When running the Lantastic 7.0 install, the IBMCNDIS.EXE file does not get copied to the LANTASTI directory. The file needs to be manually copied from the IBM CD-ROM LANTASTI directory on the users hard drive. -For Toshiba Tecra's, using the 16-bit ODI driver with the NDIS3 mapper in Windows for Workgroups is not currently supported. -If the EtherJet CardBus with Modem does not load in the top PC Card slot on Toshiba Tecra's and Portege's, there are two remedies: 1. Try using the adapter in the lower slot. 2. Disable support for the infrared device by commenting out (put a semi-colon ";" in front of) the following lines in the Windows SYSTEM.INI file: device=C:\TRANXIT\pumafir.386 -The 32-bit ODI driver (IBMC.LAN) supports promiscuous mode. There is one limitation in its support. Fragment errors are captured, but they are classified, counted and reported as undersized errors. Therefore, the total count for undersized errors includes the total of undersized and fragment errors. -If you are attempting to use EtherJet CardBus with Modem in a port replicator or docking station, are using Windows 95 OSR2 and are having problems, there are three alternatives: 1. Put the card in the notebook rather than the replicator/ docking station. 2. Manually load the EtherJet CardBus with Modem driver. 3. Windows 98 appears to better support this environment than Windows 95 OSR2. -When using the Packet Driver with the Intel 10/100 Stackable hub, network connections may be lost at 10Mbps. -When attempting to use EtherJet CardBus with Modem with a second 16-bit adapter (e.g. modems, flash cards, ATA cards) in the other slot, it may be necessary to boot up with the EtherJet CardBus with Modem first then hot-insert the second adapter. -In order to achieve 56Kbps connects, there can be only one digital to analog conversion between the connecting modems. Also, the modems at both ends of the call must be (V.90 or K56Flex) compatible to achieve 56K speeds, if not, they will negotiate a standard V.34 rate. Current FCC regulations limit download speeds of the modem to 53Kbps. 8)Installing the EtherJet CardBus Adapter in Windows 2000 ========================================================== Windows 2000 contains built-in drivers for the EtherJet CardBus Adapter.
