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 and later, 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) Release Notes/Known Limitations =============================== 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 1.00. 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 and Windows 2000 IBMMODEM.SYS Modem enabler for Windows NT 4.0 CBMFFIX.EXE EtherJet CardBus with Modem configuration program for Windows 95 OSR2 IBMCODI.COM 16-bit ODI driver for DOS and Windows 3.X IBMMODEM.COM Modem enabler for DOS/Win 3.X IBMC.LAN 32-bit ODI Client/Server Driver for DOS, Windows 3.X and Windows 95 OSR2 IBMCNDIS.EXE NDIS2 Driver for Windows 3.X supporting LAN MANAGER, LAN REQUESTER and Lantastic 7.0 IBMCODI.OS2 ODI Driver for OS/2 IBMCNDIS.OS2 NDIS2 Driver for OS/2 IBMMODEM.OS2 Modem enabler for OS/2 OS2MODEM.CMD OS/2 script file for installing modem driver. IBMCPD.COM Packet Driver IBMCTEST.EXE DOS Diagnostic Test Program EJETDIAG.EXE Windows Diagnostic Test Program (Win 95, 98 and NT only) MDMTESTW.EXE Windows based modem test utility (Win 3.X) COMSEL.EXE IBM COM Select Utility (Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98) V.90 configuration and use information - S109 register ------------------------------------------------------ Current released firmware for EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem includes support for the V.90 56K modem standard. 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. Known Limitations ----------------- -In Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98 the modem may automatically be installed in Windows using COM5. Windows applications supporting TAPI support COM5. If you have an application which does not support COM5, contact the application vendor to see if a version is available which supports COM5. -Under Windows 95 OSR2 once EtherJet CardBus with Modem is installed no other card can be inserted into the slot into which 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 may fail to load EtherJet CardBus 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 icon in the System Tray (or in Control Panel), click Stop, eject EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem and then re-insert it. The EtherJet CardBus with Modem will now load. -This release does not support Windows 95 version 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a. Only versions 950B and later are supported. 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. 3) Notes Regarding Card and Socket Services ======================================== Windows 95 OSR2 and Third Party Card Services --------------------------------------------- -Phoenix Card Manager for Windows 95 OSR2 The Phoenix software must be de-installed prior to running EtherJet CardBus with Modem. See the Phoenix README file for instructions de-installing the software. IBM has tested with Phoenix version 4.00.48. -SystemSoft CardWorks for 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. Windows NT 4.0 and Third Party Card Services -------------------------------------------- The EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem supports manual installation under Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. Plug and Play installation and hot swapping of CardBus adapters are not directly supported by Windows NT, but may be supported through third-party Card and Socket services software. Some Windows NT 4.0 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 certain Card and Socket Services software. With this release, the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem supports the following Windows NT 4.0 Card and Socket Services software: -Card Executive for NT 4.0 from Phoenix Technologies: Support for Phoenix Card is provided by the special Card and Socket Services driver IBMCNT.SYS and IBMMODEM.SYS in the \IBMNT directory on the IBM CD-ROM. -CardWare for Windows NT 4.0 from Award Software: Operation under Award CardWare for Windows NT is currently not supported. -SystemSoft CardWizard: SystemSoft CardWizard V. 4.1 and later will support the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem. This version is required to support the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem. However, full featured functionality (ie, hot insertion, hot swap) is not yet available. At the time of this release it is expected that an upcoming version of CardWizard may support these features. If your notebook was purchased with Windows NT 4.0 and has SystemSoft CardWizard preinstalled it is recommended that you remove CardWizard. The EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem will install without SystemSoft CardWizard. For the latest information regarding SystemSoft CardWizard visit our IBM Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/networking/support. -PC Card Controller for NT from Softex Incorporated: Softex PC Card Controller for NT provides functionality similar to Phoenix CardExecutive. If using Softex, follow the instructions for Phoenix CardExecutive described below. Drivers available: The following drivers for Windows NT can be found on the IBM CD-ROM. IBMC.SYS - NDIS3 driver IBMCNT.SYS - Card and Socket Services driver IBMCN4.SYS - NDIS4 driver IBMCN5.SYS - NDIS5 driver IBMMODEM.SYS - Modem enabler for Windows NT 4.0 IBMMODEM.SYS - Card and Socket Services Modem enabler for Windows NT 4.0 in \IBMNT directory Which Driver to Use -IBMC.SYS For use under NT 3.51 and 4.0 without Card and Socket Services, and for use under NT 4.0 with SystemSoft CardWizard for NT 4.0. -IBMCNT.SYS, IBMMODEM.SYS For use under NT 4.0 with Phoenix CardExecutive and Softex PC Card Controller for NT. Located in \IBMNT directory on the IBM CD-ROM. Installation under NT 4.0 Using Card and Socket Services 1. Insert the EtherJet CardBus Adapter with Modem 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. Use of default resource settings is recommended. 3.

Otherwise, follow the guidelines below: -SystemSoft CardWizard Card Services software will display a CardWizard icon on the task bar when you insert the EtherJet Cardbus Adapter with Modem . Use the drivers located in the root of the IBM CD-ROM. -Phoenix CardExecutive and Softex PC Card Controller use the drivers located in the \IBMNT sub-directory of the IBM CD-ROM. When the Card Services software prompts for the driver disk, enter the path. For example, if your CDROM drive letter is "D", you would enter D:\IBMNT\. -Award CardWare is not supported at this time, as described above. 4) Using EtherJet CardBus with Modem in Windows 95 OSR2 (950B) ============================================== 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) 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. Some 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). 6) Installing the NDIS4 Driver in Windows 95 OSR2 AND NT 4.0 ========================================================= This release includes both an NDIS3 and NDIS4 driver. By default, the NDIS3 driver is installed. If you would like to use the NDIS4 driver rather than the NDIS3 driver, please follow these instructions: a. When prompted by the operating system for the disk with the adapter driver, insert the adapter CD-ROM. b. Browse to the \NDIS4 directory on the disk and select IBMCN4.SYS. c. Complete the installation by following the onscreen instructions. 7) Installing the NDIS5 Driver with Windows 98 =========================================================== This release includes NDIS3, NDIS4 and NDIS5 drivers. By default, the NDIS3 driver is installed. For Windows 98 and Windows 2000, it is recommended that the NDIS5 driver be used. To install the NDIS5 driver, please follow these instructions. When prompted by the operating system for the disk with the driver, insert the adapter CD-ROM. Then browse to the \NDIS5 directory on the disk and select IBMCN5.SYS. Complete the installation by following the onscreen instructions. 8) Updating the NDIS5 driver in Windows 2000 ======================================================= Windows 2000 Beta 3 and later contains built-in drivers for the EtherJet CardBus Adapter.
