Installation Guide for Win NT4. 0 Step1 ­ Insert the GPS PCMCIA card into one of the Notebook/Desktop PC build-in PAMCIA slots before turn-on the power. Step2 ­ Turn on the Notebook/Desktop PC, and boot-up with Win NT4. 0 . Step3 ­ After the Win NT4. 0 boot-up, go to `My Computer' >'Control Panel'. The screen will show as follows. 9 Step4 ­ Click the `PC Card' icon. Select `EMTAC CRUX II GPS Card. . . ' then click ` Properties'. 10 Step6 ­ The properties information shows that which Com-port number that the card had occupied, for following example it is `Com1'. Note ­ Remember, it is not always Com1, it may be Com2 to Com4 depend on you system. And when you install your own digital map program, you should be aware of which COM your CRUX GPS Card is using. 11 I. Installation Guide for Win 2k Step1 ­ Turn on the Notebook/Desktop PC, and boot-up with Win2k. Step2 ­ Insert the GPS PCMCIA card into one of the Notebook/Desktop PC build-in PAMCIA slots. Step3 ­ Win 2k will show you a message that it found new hardware, then you should make it search a suitable driver. And show it where the driver is, usually, put our driver disk into A:\, and key in "A:\". 12 Step4 ­ Then win 2k will find the correct information file of CRUX card, and install it. Step5 ­ After CRUX card is installed, you can check you Win2k setting to see if CRUX works fine. In "Control Panel"->"System">"Hardware"->"Device Manager"->"Ports", you can see the following. 13 If you don't see any exclamation sign in front of CRUX card, then it means that the card is working correctly. Installation Guide for WinCE As long as the e-Map/Navigator software programs running on WinCE supports NMEA input from CF COM port, there is no extra driver is needed. In above case, just inserts the CRUX card, executes that e-Map/Navigator program and there must have a setting in your e-Map/Navigator software program to choose the NMEA input. Just choose the NMEA input from "PCMCIA(COM2)" then it will activate CRUX card. 14 IV. Q: I install the CRUX card and the system allocates the card to `COM5' but my digital-map only accepts the NMEA source from one of COM1-COM4. A: Remove the CRUX card, Disable one of system on-board COM ports (COM1 or IR port) that are not in used. Then reinsert the card for Win98, or restart the computer for Win NT4. 0. Q: Why the reception performance degrades while putting my Notebook-PC with CRUX card on the metal plate top (i. e. A: Because the built-in antenna design on CRUX card is for hand held operation and assume that there should be NO wide area of metal plate on its bottom back. A: Basically CRUX Card can be used with any E-Map that supports NMEA Protocol and allows user to select input source com port number. Please do disable IR at first and make sure which com port the CRUX Card is in the PC and modify the right position under the E-Map software.
