Infrared Support for Windows 95
A few notebooks manufactured during the initial release of Windows 95 were not
configured with infrared drivers (despite having infrared hardware). This software
utility installs and configures infrared drivers in such notebooks. See APPENDIX A
for further information.
ClarinetIR™
The ClarinetIR™ software was developed primarily for mobile notebook users
running Windows 95/98/2000 and PocketPC or Palm handheld devices. It allows
users to access a LAN or the Internet when interfacing with any EthIR LAN system
anywhere. The software ‘reads’ the EthIR Switch IP information and self-configures
to interact with that particular system during an infrared communication session. No
user intervention is required. Any user who wishes to gain LAN access via EthIR
LAN switches should always use this software.
CSI Firmware updates
Periodically, Clarinet Systems engineers make improvements to an EthIR Switch’s
performance and flexibility with new features and enhancements. This comes by way
of Firmware updates. Customers can download the latest firmware updates from the
Clarinet Systems web site: http://www.clarinetsys.com. The firmware is used in
conjunction with the CSI Configuration Tool. Please refer to Updating The Firmware
in Chapter 3 at page 3-12 for more details.

The CSI Configuration Tool is for network administrators and is not intended for the
casual user. Installation is performed on any Windows 95/98/2000 or MacOS
