2.1 DSP-200/300 Client Driver for DOS

In order to use the DSP-200/300 Client Driver, the system must be configured with Card and
Socket Services software. Card and Socket Services software is not provided with the
DSP-200/300 but is available from Quatech.

IMPORTANT:
Some versions of Card and Socket Services dated before 1993
do not support general purpose I/O cards. If after careful
installation of the Client Driver the adapter does not configure
or operate properly, an updated version of Card and Socket
Services may be required.

2.1.1 Client Driver Installation

The following procedure is used to install the DSP-200/300Client Driver:

1. Copy the Client Driver from the DSP-200/300 distribution diskette onto the system's

hard drive.

2. Using an ASCII text editor, open the system's CONFIG.SYS file located in the root

directory of the boot drive.

3. Locate the line(s) in the CONFIG.SYS file where the Card and Socket Services

software is installed.

4. AFTER the line(s) installing the Card and Socket Services software, add the

following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE

=

drive:\path\

DSP230CL.SYS options

where options are the DSP-200/300 Client

Driver command line options discussed on the following pages.

5. Save the CONFIG.SYS file and exit the text editor.

6. Insert the DSP-200/300 into one of the system's PCMCIA slots.

NOTE: Since the DSP-200/300 Client Driver supports "Hot Swapping", it is not
necessary to have the DSP-200/300 installed when booting the system. By inserting the
card before booting, however, the Client Driver will report the adapter configuration
during the boot process thereby verifying the changes made to the CONFIG.SYS.

7. Reboot the system and note the message displayed when the DSP-200/300 Client

Driver is loaded. If the Client Driver reports an "invalid command line option",
correct the entry in the CONFIG.SYS file and reboot the system again. If the Client
Driver reports "Card and Socket Services not found", a version of Card and Socket
Services must be installed on the system or the DSP-200/300 Enabler program must
be used to configure the adapter. If the Client Driver reports the desired adapter
configuration, the installation process is complete and the DSP-200/300 may be
