Installation

PC Card

Installation and removal methods vary for different host computers. Refer to host computer documentation of more

detailed information.

Arrows on the top of the PC Card indicate FRONT with arrows. This is the end of the card that is to be inserted into the

computer.. To support hot insertion and removal of the card, verify that the proper library and configuration files as well

as socket and card services are loaded onto the host computer.

After the card has been seated into the host computer, connect the antenna cable to the special RF connector on the PC

Card. Some host computers do not have an antenna, or already use the antenna for a WLAN. Special cards with

integrated antennas are available upon request from WiData Corporation, although for optimum RF performance, it is

recommended that the antenna integrated into the handheld computer be used.

Software (DOS)

The diskette has the Firefly Communicator application software as well as the library and configuration files required by

card and socket services in order to recognize the PC Card and allocate the needed resources. Since most handheld

computers require special software to download files to the hard disk, the PC Card files should be copied to a directory on

the host computer that will be used to flash the handheld computer.

The handheld computer should be flashed with the WiData Firefly software. Consult handheld computer documentation

for procedures on downloading files.

Software (Windows 95)

The diskette has the installation shield required to install all the software required to run the Firefly Communicator PC

Card. From WINDOWS, select run a:\setup.exe. The install software will create a directory path on the root named

\INTERROGATOR\GUI. The file TAGCONF.EXE is the application software.

Sounds

When the software and the hardware are correctly installed, the computer will produce two tones (medium pitch followed

by higher pitch) when the PC Card is inserted or upon power up.
