------------------------------------------------------------------------
  5 - IBM 5250 EXPRESS ADAPTER SUPPORT DISKETTES
------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Adapter Support Diskettes*

Included with your IBM 5250 Express Adapter are two 5250 Express
Adapter Support Diskettes.  The 5250 Express Installation Program
must be started from Disk 1.  The 5250 Express Installation
Program is used to install support that may be necessary for your
software and/or hardware Twinax emulation configuration.  You must
run this installation after you install one of the IBM 5250 Express
adapters.  Make sure any emulation application you intend to use
is installed BEFORE running this installation program.  See the
5250 Express manual for instructions on starting the installation
program.  Please read the text on the screens carefully while
running the 5250 Express Installation Program as they contain
important information to guide you through the install.

Disk 2 also contains part of the 5250 Express Installation Program
which you will be prompted to insert when needed.  Disk 2 is also
a bootable diskette to allow you to run the 5250 Adapter Test
Program (diagnostics) and the Hardware Configuration Program for IBM
5250 Adapters.  Disk 2 is shipped write-enabled.  This diskette must
remain write-enabled because both the diagnostics and configuration
programs save information to this diskette.

Please note that whenever the Express Adapter Support Diskette, Disk 2,
is in the floppy drive and you reboot your system, the diskette will
boot and start the Hardware Configuration Program.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
  6 - IBM 5250 EXPRESS INSTALLATION PROGRAM
------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Selecting Your Adapter Type*

------------------------------------------------------------------------
  7 - IBM CLIENT ACCESS NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Internet Address*

If you would like to visit the IBM Client Access internet site, the
address is:

            http://www.as400.ibm.com/clientaccess

----------
*Windows 3.1x PC Card Users*

When using the 5250 Express PC Card under Windows 3.1x with Client
Access, the adapter must be inserted before starting Windows.  The
adapter must not be removed until Client Access is removed from memory.
In this environment the PC Card is not hot pluggable.

----------
*DOS PC Card Users*

When using the 5250 Express PC Card under DOS with Client Access, the
adapter must be inserted before running STARTPCS.BAT.  The adapter
must not be removed until Client Access is removed from memory.  In this
environment the PC Card is not hot pluggable.

----------
*DOS PC Card or PCI Card Users*

If you apply AS/400 updates to your DOS Client Access application anytime
after you run the 5250 Express Installation program and select this
support and then you cannot make a connection to the host or the card is
not found, you need to run the Express Installation program again
selecting the same support.  The AS/400 update function may replace some
of the files that the Express Installation program copied to your hard
disk.  Running the Express Installation program again will place the
correct files back on your hard disk.

----------
*DOS PC Card Users*

While running the 5250 Express Installation Program from DOS, if you
select Express PC Card for the adapter and Support for IBM Client Access,
the install will make modifications to the STARTPCS.BAT file and copy
needed files to your current Client Access directory to enable the
Express PC Card for this configuration.  It will also copy files to
the default directory c:\enb5250 and make modifications to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT.

The STARTPCS.BAT file will be modified such that all lines which execute
E5250AH or WSEAH will be remarked out and the following line will be added:
CALL LDMCAAHS E [drive:][path]AH.MR0

The AUTOEXEC.BAT file will be modified such that all lines which contain
"ENB5250" or "STARTPCS.BAT" will be remarked out and the following lines
will be added to the bottom:
SET ENB5250=C:\ENB5250 (default path)
x:  (where x is drive letter of startpcs.bat path)
cd\[path of startpcs.bat]
x:[path of startpcs.bat]\startpcs.bat

If you receive a screen with the message "You selected support to
install IBM Client Access Support but install could not verify a
currently installed version meets the update requirements", review
the following list of prerequisites:

 1.  A STARTPCS.BAT file must exist on one of your local hard disks.
 2.  Only one or neither of the files, LDMCAAHS.BAT or SFDENAB.EXE,
     can exist in the STARTPCS.BAT directory.
 3.  The file QPTFIDX must be in the same directory as the STARTPCS.BAT
     file.
 4.  The QPTFIDX file must contain both "V3R1M1" (version indicator) and
     "5763XB1" (DOS Extended indicator).
 5.  The file AH.MR0 must exist on one of your local hard disks.
 6.  There must be at least one occurrence of E5250AH.COM or WSEAH.COM
     that is not remarked out in STARTPCS.BAT.

If this support is installed successfully and the hardware still does
not work in the DOS environment, try removing the interrupt sharing
capability of the card adapter handler by editing the STARTPCS.BAT
file and changing:
CALL LDMCAAHS E [drive:][path]AH.MR0
to:
CALL LDMCAAHS N [drive:][path]AH.MR0

----------
*Windows 95 and Windows NT Tips*

 1.  Restart Your System After Install

 After running the Express installation program, the computer must be
 restarted before attempting to make a connection using Client
 Access for Windows 95/NT.

 2.  Tips for Add New Hardware Selections (Windows 95)

 While running the Express installation under this configuration,
 a check will be made to determine if your 5250 Express adapter
 has been installed and configured correctly.
 If any problems are found in the configuration, the Windows 95
 Add New Hardware function may be invoked.  This section contains
 important information concerning the questions you will be asked
 during this process.

  a)  The first window displayed by the Add New Hardware Wizard
      will ask you to select Next or Cancel.

      Click the "Next" button to begin the installation.

  b)  The next window asks if you would like Windows to
      search for your new hardware.

      Click "No" and "Next".

  c)  Scroll down the list of Hardware types displayed.

      Click the hardware type "Others" or "Other devices".

      Click "Next".

  d)  Disregard any Models that may be listed and click "Have Disk".
      This will ensure that the Models list is updated with the
      information associated with this Twinax software update.

  e)  Click "OK" and the list of Models will be updated.

  f)  From the list of Models, click on the type of adapter
      installed in your computer.  The list should include the
      following Models:

      -  IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter
      -  IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter - Non Plug & Play
      -  IBM 5250 Express PC Card
      -  IBM 5250 Express PCI Adapter

      Click "Next".

  g)  The remaining messages will vary based on which Adapter type
      you are installing.  You should see messages that indicate
      that your hardware has been installed correctly and in some
      cases, the resource settings for your adapter will be
      displayed.  The section entitled "Changing Resource
      Settings" has information that can help you change the
      settings later.  Do not make changes during this step of the
      installation.

  h)  If there are no resource conflicts, a window will appear
      indicating that the software has finished installing.

      If there are resource conflicts, refer to the section entitled
      "Changing Resource Settings" for information that can help you
      resolve the conflicts.  Do not make changes during this step
      of the installation.

  i)  A window may be displayed stating that to complete the
      installation, the computer must be shut down and restarted.
      You should not shut down and restart at this time.

      Click "No".

  j)  If resource conflicts occurred, or if you wish to change
      the resource settings please make the necessary changes.
      Refer to the section entitled "Changing Resource Settings"
      for additional information.

  k)  The computer should now be restarted.

 3.  Tips for Installing the IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter

 If you encounter problems making an AS/400 connection after
 installing the "IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter" you may have
 a resource conflict with IRQ 9.  Using the Windows 95 Device
 Manager, determine if your adapter has been configured to use
 IRQ 9 and if so, remove the configuration.  Next use the
 Device Manager to reserve IRQ 9 and then Restart your system.
 Perform the installation again and the problem should be
 corrected.

 If you suspect that your system is configured incorrectly, run
 the Express installation program and when asked if you want to
 keep or delete the current configuration select "Delete".
 Re-boot the system and run the installation program again.
 This time select "Keep" the current configuration.  Re-boot
 the system and try making an AS/400 connection.

 4.  Enabling the PCIC Controller (Laptop Systems)

 If you are using a laptop computer, the PCIC Controller which
 supports your PC Card/PCMCIA adapters may have been disabled.
 If so, you will need to use the Windows 95 Device Manager to
 enable the PCIC Controller before using these drivers.

 5.  Changing Resource Settings

 If you are running the Express installation to support the
 "IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter" in Non Plug & Play mode", you
 may need to pay special attention to the resources selected
 by Windows 95 during the installation process.  These adapters
 can be set to use specific I/O resources.

 The factory default setting for the I/O address is 2710 - 271F.
 The installation program will attempt to acquire this address,
 but if Windows 95 is unable to honor the request, a new address
 will be chosen.  This can be checked using the following procedure:

  a)  Run the Express installation program as outlined above and
      Restart your computer.

  b)  Highlight the "My Computer" icon on the Windows 95 desktop
      and click the RIGHT mouse button.

  c)  Click on the "Properties" selection in the pull down menu
      to open the "System Properties" window.

  d)  Click on the "Device Manager" tab.

  e)  Double click the "Others" device entry in the list.

      The Adapter Name should now be displayed.

  f)  Double click on the Adapter Name to display the adapter
      card properties.

  g)  Click on the "Resources" tab.

      A window is displayed showing the resources used by your
      Twinax Adapter.  The window labeled "Setting based on:"
      will show one of three configurations used to set up your
      environment.  "Basic Configuration 0" and "Basic
      Configuration 1" are used to set your system to the factory
      default settings of the adapter.  "Basic Configuration 2"
      will give you more flexibility in changing the settings.
      To make changes, highlight the Resource Type that you want
      to change and click on the "Change Setting..."  button.
      Use the up and down arrows to change the selection and then
      click on the OK button.  As you make changes to these
      resources you should watch the Conflict Information window
      to insure there are no conflicts with the resources you
      have chosen.  To change the IO address on your adapter,
      refer to the "5250 Express Hardware Manual" that came with
      your adapter.

  h)  After changing the resource settings, you should Restart your
      computer before making the AS400 connection.

 6.  Clean-up Notes For Previous DOS Driver Connections

 If you tried connecting using the DOS drivers prior to receiving
 this diskette, you may need to free up resources using the
 Windows 95 Device Manager.  You probably did this if you have
 a 5250 ISA adapter or a 5250 PCMCIA adapter.  If you placed the
 DOS driver lines in your Autoexec.bat file and manually reserved
 memory, interrupt, and I/O resources, you need to unreserve
 those resources.  To do this, double click the "Computer" entry
 of the Windows 95 Device Manager and use the "Reserve Resources"
 tab to display the window for removing resources. This Install
 program will take care of cleaning up your Autoexec.bat file.

 7.  Recovering From a Partial Install

 If for any reason you are unable to complete the installation and
 you are unsure whether or not all of the required support has
 been installed, we recommend that you perform the install steps
 again.

 If you were unable to complete the install due to a resource
 conflict you must resolve the conflict using the Windows 95
 Device Manager, Restart your computer, and then perform the
 installation steps again.

*Internet Address*

If you would like to visit the IBM Personal Communications internet site,
the address is:

            http://www.networking.ibm.com/pcf/pcfprod.html

----------
*Windows 3.1x and the 5250 Express PC Card*

While running the 5250 Express Installation Program from Windows 3.1x and
you select Express PC Card for the adapter and Support for IBM Personal
Communications, you will be asked if you want the install to add
ENB5250.EXE to your AUTOEXEC.BAT.  ENB5250.EXE needs to be run before
you start Windows 3.1x to enable the PC Card for this configuration.  If
you choose to have the install add this to your AUTOEXEC.BAT and you want
to use the Express PC Card with a different application, you need to
remark it out of your AUTOEXEC.BAT (edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and change the line
to 'REM ENB5250.EXE') and restart your system first.

----------
*Express Configuration Notes*

After you install a 5250 Express Adapter you must configure Personal
Communications for the adapter.  While in the Configuration function,
if the Express adapter is not listed under "Adapter Type:" on the
Configure TDLC Connection screen, you need to do the following:

1.  For a 5250 Express ISA Adapter, select IBM Enhanced 5250 Display
    Station Emulation Adapter
2.  For a 5250 Express PC Card, select IBM Emulation PCMCIA Adapter
3.  For a 5250 Express PCI Adapter, also select IBM Emulation PCMCIA Adapter

----------
*Express PC Card, Personal Communications 4.1x, and Windows 95*
