WINDOWS INSTALLATION
Windows 95 and Windows 98
Any prior installation using previous B&B Serial drivers must be
removed before installing the new drivers. (Refer to page 23.)
Windows 98 screens are shown for this section. Windows 95 is a bit
different with fewer steps and the screen names and text shown
differs. Windows 95 differences are noted (
W95:…)
1.
Configure each port on the PCI card to the desired RS-
232/422/485 mode using the jumpers.
2.
Install the card in the slot, start the computer.
3.
Windows will detect the PCI card, start the Add New Hardware
Wizard, and begin driver installation. When installation is
complete, Windows will set the hardware addressing & interrupt
using the drivers and the Plug and Play function of the
Operating System.
4.
The driver installation proceeds in two parts: the first part installs
the driver for the PCI Serial card and the second part installs the
serial driver for the Com Port A & B (Port A=Port 1, Port B=2).
NOTE: The Optically Isolated 3PCIOSD2x PCI Serial Adapter card
will be identified as the 2-Port PCI Serial Adapter (3PCISD2). Both
cards use the same drivers and are functionally the same to the
Operating System.
