Getting Started in Windows NT 3
Unlike Windows 95/98, Windows NT operating systems (v3.51 and
v4.0) do not support “Plug & Play” and “Hot Swapping” of PC
Cards:
■ In order to start the driver installation for your WaveLAN IEEE
802.11 PC Card, you will need to “introduce” the card to the
operating system.
■ To swap PC cards, Windows NT machines typically require
you to restart the computer in order to recognize the card and
load the drivers.
Like Windows 95/98 systems, the Windows NT operating system
also identifies user profiles. On Windows NT systems, however,
user profiles (accounts) are associated with dedicated levels of
authority (privileges) like the ones listed below:
■ Users - are allowed to change the visual appearance of the
Windows NT desktop and user-defined preferences.
■ Power Users - can create “User Accounts” or “User Groups”.
■ Administrators - can manage and control the overall
configuration of the workstation.
NOTE:
To install (or uninstall) the WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 PC Card
in a Windows NT environment, you will need to login as
the “Administrator”, or ensure that your login profile
provides the same level of privileges.
The privilege settings for each user (account) are set in the
Microsoft Windows NT “User Manager” program. Please consult
the documentation that was shipped with your Microsoft Windows
NT operating system or station for more information.
