Software Installation and Configuration

Pre-installing the Common USB Port Driver (A-1519/1520 and A-910)

This driver is required for the A-910 Transceiver, the A-1519/1520 Configuration Utility and to

communicate with targets via the computer’s USB port. The driver creates a virtual COM Port that is

recognized by the applications as a standard serial port.

Note:

You must pre-install this driver prior to connecting the device(s) to the computer through the USB

port. The Configuration Utility requires this type of connection.

Installing the Driver

Place the A-1519/1520 Type II

Configuration Utility CD in the

CD ROM drive.

Click

My Computer

, locate the

CD ROM icon and open it. Click

the USB Driver folder (see Figure

13).

Locate the

Preinstaller.exe

icon

and click to initiate the installation

process. The Install Driver dialog

box displays (see Figure 14).

Click

Browse

to select an

installation folder different from

the default folder (optional).

Click

Install

to continue. Once the

installation is complete, the

Installation

Successful

message displays (see Figure

15).

Click OK to finish the pre-installation.

WARNING!

•

Ensure that all drivers are installed

before

installing the alignment software.

•

The Configuration Utility is designed to be used with a USB cable

only

. Do not

attempt to upload firmware or make configuration changes wirelessly. Doing so

could damage the target.
