Before You Install The Intel® Pcmcia Faxmodem

Determine whether you're using Release 2 or Release 3 of the Intel Card Manager Software.

The Release 2 package:
Has a plastic "bubble pack" for the faxmodem card Is shipped with Intel FAXability and HyperAccess Lite software.

The Release 3 package:
Has a flat front with a picture of the faxmodem card Is shipped with WinFax Lite and HyperAccess Lite software OR Delrina 4-in-1.

The Tandy* Z-PDA is NOT COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems and Card Manager software. These systems use a non-Intel processor and a non-DOS operating system. Intel hasn't tested these systems.

Intel has tested the following Toshiba* systems and found them COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems and Card Manager software: T1900, T1900C, T1910, T1910C, T1950, T1950C, T3400. T3400CT, T4500, T4500C, T4600, T4600C, T4700CT. System-specific information appears later in this document.

Intel found the Toshiba* T3300 system NOT COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems and Card Manager software, because the I/O controller for the PCMCIA socket is not compatible with Card Manager software.

Use the socket that is the appropriate size for your card. Many Toshiba systems have sockets for a Toshiba memory card. DO NOT CONFUSE THE MEMORY CARD SOCKET AND THE PCMCIA CARD SOCKET. A PCMCIA card will not go all the way into a Toshiba memory card socket. If your system has more than one PCMCIA socket, Intel recommends using the Type II socket for Intel PC Cards, and reserving the Type III and Type IV sockets for thicker cards.

When a Toshiba* system goes into SUSPEND mode, it turns the PCMCIA socket's power OFF, causing the PC Card to lose its configuration values. When power is RESUMEd, Intel's Card Manager software automatically re-configures the PCMCIA card. However, if any communications application that uses the PC Card without taking advantage of Intel's Card Manager software was running when power was SUSPENDed, you must exit and re-enter the application before the application can regain access to the PCMCIA Card. To avoid exiting and re-entering applications when power resumes, enter your system's BIOS setup and turn the PCMCIA socket's power to ON.

Before Installing Intel's Release 2 Software:

1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file as a plain text file. In CONFIG.SYS, edit the EMM386.EXE line to read:
   
   DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 256 X=DD00-DFFF

   NOTE: If your system has Automatic Power Management (APM), make sure the EMM386.EXE line appears AFTER the APM.SYS line.

2. In CONFIG.SYS, insert the word REM before any line that includes the PCMPLUS directory.
   
   
3. Save CONFIG.SYS, exit Windows completely, and reboot.
   
   
4. Follow the installation procedure in the Intel Faxmodem Quick Start Guide. Don't allow Intel's INSTALL program to automatically configure the system for EMS usage.

After Installing Intel's Release 2 Software:

1. The last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:
   
   DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\SS365SL.EXE
   DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CS.EXE
   DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\RTINIT.EXE /IO=260-26F
   DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE
   
   
2. The following lines have been added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
   
   C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE
   PATH=C:\FAX;%PATH%
   C:\FAX\CASMODEM.EXE
   
   
3. Find the mouse driver line in AUTOEXEC.BAT (for example, C:\BALLPT\MOUSE or C:\MOUSE\MOUSE). Move this entire line after C:\FAX\CASMODEM.EXE.
   
   
4. Then save AUTOEXEC.BAT. Changes will take effect when you reboot.

Before Installing Intel's Release 3 Software:

1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file as a plain text file. In CONFIG.SYS, edit the EMM386.EXE line to read:
   
   DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=DD00-DFFF
   
   
2. Save CONFIG.SYS, exit Windows completely, and reboot.
   
   
3. Follow the installation procedure in the Intel Faxmodem Quick Start Guide.

After Installing Intel's Release 3 Software:

If the Toshiba PCMCIA software is present, the first line of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:

DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CPR.SYS

If the Toshiba PCMCIA Software is present, the last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:

DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSS.EXE
[other drivers in the PCMPLUS directory]
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE /INST
INSTALL=C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE /D=0

If the Intel Card Manager Software is the only PCMCIA software present:

The last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:

DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CCMSERV.EXE
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\RTINIT.EXE /IO=260-26F
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE /INST
INSTALL=C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE /D=0

PCMCIA Faxmodem cards can use these settings:

UPPER MEMORY ranges:

• C800-DFFF: Intel's Card Manager software and EMS providers can use a block in this range.
  
  
• B000-B7FF: Appears open, but its use is not recommended.
  
  
• E000-E7FF: May be reserved for Hard RAM feature in many systems.
  
  
• E800-EFFF: Unavailable; reserved for BIOS to use during RESUMEs.
  
  
• B000-B7FF: Appears open, but conflicts are possible if this range is given to an EMS provider.

IRQs: 3, 5, 10, 11, and 15. Changing the external COM port to COM2 takes IRQ3 and frees IRQ4.

I/O ADDRESSING: An 8-byte I/O address block within the ranges 200-26F and 300-36F.

Accessing BIOS SETUP: Run the TSETUP utility.

Toshiba America (800) 334-3445 in US and Canada only (numbers valid as of 10/11/93).

Intel has tested the following Toshiba* systems and found them COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems and Card Manager software: T1900, T1900C, T1910, T1910C, T1950, T1950C, T3400. T3400CT, T4500, T4500C, T4600, T4600C, T4700CT. A customer reports that the T6600 system is also compatible and should be configured the same as the T4600. (Intel hasn't tested the T6600 and can't verify the accuracy of this report.) System-specific information appears later in this document.

Intel found the Toshiba T3300 system NOT COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems and Card Manager software, because the I/O controller for the PCMCIA socket is not compatible with Card Manager software.

Use the socket that is the appropriate size for your card. Many Toshiba systems have sockets for a Toshiba memory card. DO NOT CONFUSE THE MEMORY CARD SOCKET AND THE PCMCIA CARD SOCKET. A PCMCIA card will not go all the way into a Toshiba memory card socket. If your system has more than one PCMCIA socket, Intel recommends using the Type II socket for Intel PC Cards, and reserving the Type III and Type IV sockets for thicker cards.

When a Toshiba* system goes into SUSPEND mode, it turns the PCMCIA socket's power OFF, causing the PC Card to lose its configuration values. When power is RESUMEd, Intel's Card Manager software automatically re-configures the PCMCIA card. However, if any communications application that uses the PC Card without taking advantage of Intel's Card Manager software was running when power was SUSPENDed, you must exit and re-enter the application before the application can regain access to the PCMCIA Card. To avoid exiting and re-entering applications when power resumes, enter your system's BIOS setup and turn the PCMCIA socket's power to ON.

Customers have observed that if power is suspended for more than 24 hours, the system's mouse or keyboard may lock up, and you may have to restart the computer. Open questions include: Does this happen if the card is not in the socket? Does this happen if there is not a memory manager loaded? If a memory manager is loaded, are the proper exclusions on the command line (no HIGHSCAN, No use of the B000-B7FF range, no use of the E800-EFFF range)?

Toshiba America (800) 334-3445 in US and Canada only (numbers valid as of 10/11/93).

The Toshiba* T4500 and T4500C systems have a PCMCIA Type 4 socket (not officially adopted by the PCMCIA committee). These systems do not have an ejector mechanism for the PCMCIA socket, so the user must find a method of gripping the PC Card with enough force to remove it from the socket without causing damage to the card or the system.

Intel tested the ULTRA* 486DX4 system and found it COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems.

The ULTRA* 486DX4 system uses CARDTALK.SYS to configure PCMCIA cards. (There is also an ULTRA 486DX4-75 system, described later in this document, which uses SystemSoft software.)

CARDTALK.SYS can correctly configure the Intel Faxmodem for PCMCIA. However, neither CARDTALK.SYS or the system's PCMCIA hardware support Intel's Card Manager software. If you need assistance in configuring the Intel Faxmodem for PCMCIA on this system, consult the documentation for your system or contact ULTRA Technical Support.

This computer comes with COM1 and COM2 ports built in. The optimum configuration for your Intel Faxmodem will be COM3/IRQ5 or COM4/IRQ5.

PCMCIA Faxmodem cards can use these settings:

UPPER MEMORY: A block in the range C000-DFFF. (This range available to PCMCIA device drivers and EMS providers.)

IRQs: 5, 10, 11, 12, or 15

Free memory and I/O ports in this system are indicated by 7F instead of FF.

I/O ADDRESSING: 200-23Fh and 300-36Fh.

Accessing BIOS SETUP: Press the [Ctrl], [Alt], and [S] keys at the same time.

Intel tested the ULTRA* 486DX4-75 system and found it COMPATIBLE with Release 3 of Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems and Intel's Card Manager Software.

The ULTRA* 486DX4-75 system uses SystemSoft software to configure other PCMCIA cards. (There is also an ULTRA 486DX4 system, described earlier in this document, which uses CARDTALK.SYS.)

WORKING CONFIG.SYS LINES

The first line of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=DD00-DFFF

The last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:

DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CCMSERV.EXE
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\RTINIT.EXE /IO=260-26F /MEM=DD00-DFFF /PV=7F
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE /INST
INSTALL=C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE /D=0

Intel tested the Unisys* Open Notebook 325SL and 425SL systems and found them COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodem products and Card Manager software.

Before Installing Intel's Release 2 Software:

1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file as a plain text file. In CONFIG.SYS, edit the EMM386.EXE line to read:
   
   DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 256 X=DD00-DFFF
   
   
2. In CONFIG.SYS, insert the word REM before any line device driver for the manufacturer's PCMCIA software.
   
   
3. Save CONFIG.SYS, exit Windows completely, and reboot.

After Installing Intel's Release 2 Software:

1. The last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:
   
   DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\SS365SL.EXE /ADA=0
   DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CS.EXE
   DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\RTINIT.EXE /IO=260-26F /XIRQ=11,15

2. The following lines have been added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
   
   C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE
   PATH=C:\FAX;%PATH%
   C:\FAX\CASMODEM.EXE

   NOTE: For these systems to function properly, you must add the /XIRQ=11,15 parameter to the RTINIT.EXE command line of CONFIG.SYS. The INSTALL utility adds this parameter automatically.

Before Installing Intel's Release 3 Software:

1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file as a plain text file. In CONFIG.SYS, edit the EMM386.EXE line to read:
   
   DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=DD00-DFFF
   
   
2. Save CONFIG.SYS, exit Windows completely, and reboot.
   
   
3. Follow the installation procedure in the Intel Faxmodem Quick Start Guide.

After Installing Intel's Release 3 Software:

If the manufacturer's PCMCIA software is present, the first line of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:

DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CPR.SYS

If the manufacturer's PCMCIA Software is present, the last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:

[other PCMCIA drivers from the laptop manufacturer]
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE
INSTALL=C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE /D=0

If the Intel Card Manager Software is the only PCMCIA software present:

The last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:

DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CCMSERV.EXE
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\RTINIT.EXE /IO=260-26F
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE /INST
INSTALL=C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE /D=0

PCMCIA Faxmodem cards can use these settings:

UPPER MEMORY ranges:

• CC00-DFFF: Available to Intel's Card Manager software and EMS providers.
  
  
• B000-B7FF: Reserved for BIOS SETUP.
  
  
• C800-CBFF: Reserved for the system.
  
  
• E000-EFFF: Not available; filled with non-standard ROMs.

IRQs: 3, 5, and 10 are available to Intel's Card Services. IRQs 11 and 15 appear available but are not. Add the /XIRQ=11,15 parameter to the RTINIT.EXE command line of CONFIG.SYS.

I/O ADDRESSING: 200-26Fh and 300-36Fh are available. COM1 and LPT1 are enabled at the factory. BIOS revisions previous to rev 2.10 don't allow these ports to be disabled.

Accessing BIOS SETUP: Press [Fn] and [F2] keys at the same time. Intel tested BIOS revs 1.04, 1.05, 2.0, and 2.01 with Intel Card Manager software.

SYMPTOM: MS Mouse driver versions 9.01 and 9.02 and Logitech Mouse driver version 6.23 conflict with CASMODEM, causing problems using the Intel Faxmodem (PCMCIA) 14.4 in DOS. CASMODEM must be in expanded memory (EMS) for this symptom to appear.

NOTE: CASMODEM is required by Intel's FAXability application. If your Intel Faxmodem was shipped with WinFax instead of FAXability, this problem does not occur.

SOLUTION: Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT so that drivers are loaded in the following order:

CASMODEM
Mouse
FAXTSR (used only if faxing under DOS)
FAXPOP (used only if faxing under DOS)

Your system may be locking up, making it impossible to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT.

If you have DOS 6.0 or higher:

1. Turn the system's power off, then on again.
   
   
2. When the message Starting MS-DOS appears on the screen, press [F5] to bypass CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
   
   
3. At the C:\ prompt, type:
   
   EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

If you have a previous version of DOS, you need a startup diskette to bypass AUTOEXEC.BAT.

1. Insert the startup diskette and power up the system.
   
   
2. At the C:\ prompt, type:
   
   C:\DOS\EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

Another possible solution is to use MS Mouse driver version 9.00 or earlier.

NOTE: If you have a PC Card other than an Intel PCMCIA Faxmodem, contact either the system manufacturer or PC Card manufacturer for PC Card software that complies with the PCMCIA 2.01 (or higher) specification.

This applies to:

Modems and Fax Boards
