				INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
				         OS2 VER. 2.1 DRIVER
				APEX DATA PCMCIA MODEMS
					OCT. 13,1993


Software Required:        IBM OS2 ver. 2.1
		          IBM Socket Services ( provided with your Thinkpad Computer)
		          Apex OS2 Driver for the PCMCIA modem ( APEXDFM1.OS2)

Step 1: Do a directory of \OS2\COM.SYS
	Check the creation date making sure it is 6/17/93 or later. If the date is earlier 	phone IBM OS2 Support at 1-800-992-4777 and request the latest COM.SYS file. 	Upon receipt of the new file, replace the excising COM.SYS.
 
Step 2: Copy the Apex OS2 Driver ( APEXDFM1.OS2 ) to the \OS2 directory.

Step 3: From the OS2 Command Prompt folder select OS2 Window
	
	Go to the OS2 root directory ( C:\ or D:\ ect. )
	
	Bring up your CONFIG.SYS file in the OS2 editor. 
	Example: [D:\] E CONFIG.SYS 	
	
	When the file appears verify that PCMCIA.SYS and COM.SYS are present and are being 	loaded. If they are not present add them , the PCMCIA.SYS must be loaded first. 
			Example: DEVICE=D:\OS2\PCMCIA.SYS
	
	Add the following as the last line of your CONFIG.SYS. 			 					
    				DEVICE=D:\OS2\APEXDFM1.OS2 S1C2,S2C2                                                            
							                |     |    |    |_com2
							                |     |    |_slot2
							                |     |_com2	
							                |_slot1	

                  ( Please note, drive letter D:\ is just an example, your drive letter may be different.) 

                                                                         ! ! ! IMPORTANT ! ! !

The Apex OS2 Driver MUST be installed after the COM.SYS driver and before the Socket Services Drivers.


Step 4: Install your IBM Socket Services from the ref. diskette provided with your IBM Thinkpad. Check your Thinkpad documentation for instructions. The install program which comes with the socket services must be used for installation of the socket services drivers.
	
Step 5: Save and reboot the system.





Sample CONFIG.SYS file showing the order of the previously mentioned device drivers:
			          
( Driver provided by OS2 ) - DEVICE=D:\OS2\PCMCIA.SYS
				*
				*
( Driver provided by OS2 ) - DEVICE=D:\OS2\COM.SYS
				*
				*
( Apex OS2 driver ) ---------  DEVICE=D:\OS2\APEXDFM1.OS2 S1C2,S2C2
( 3 examples of IBM ---------  DEVICE=D:\OS2\IBM2SS02.SYS
 socket services drivers ) --  DEVICE=D:\OS2\ICRMU02.SYS
	* * *	          ---  DEVICE=D:\OS2\$ICPMOS2.SYS

*** Please note the IBM socket services drivers may or may not be the same as the example above, depending on the ver. or model of your IBM Thinkpad.

					Application Notes
