Windows 95 CD-ROM to continue the installation process. Follow the
prompts until the installation is complete. You will see the Infrared Monitor
screen indicating successful IrLAN connection.

Note: If the IrLAN connection only runs at 115Kbps, verify the IR port specifications of your
notebook to see what the maximum speed it can support by consulting the documentation that
came with your notebook or contacting the manufacturer. If the IR port can only support a
maximum of 115Kbs then you cannot upgrade to a higher speed. If the port specification can
support Fast-IR (4Mbps), you can continue to use the 115Kbps connection but you should
request the IR 4Mb Framer (device driver) from your notebook manufacturer and then update
the Framer by performing the steps outlined in “APPENDIX E - Upgrading from 115Kbs to
4Mbs Speeds.”

Binding TCP/IP Protocol for Notebook

Clarinet EthIR Switch Client Driver enables the following protocols and clients on
your portable computer:

• IPX/SPX

• NetBEUI


For the CSI Configuration Tool to work and TCP/IP based network environment,
the Microsoft IrDA LAN Driver must be bounded to the TCP/IP protocol of your
notebook. Typically this is done automatically. However, check your Network
applet in the Control Panel to verify if the TCP/IP protocol was added.

1. Launch the Network icon in

the Control Panel on your
notebook. The system displays
the Network panel illustrated
on the right.

2. If the TCP/IP is not listed, click
