Installation on Windows XP
Preparation:
Ensure that your user account has administration privi-
leges on Windows XP, otherwise the driver installation
will not be successful.
After Windows has completed startup, the
„Found New
Hardware Wizard”
is displayed and asks you
whether
Windows can connect to Windows Update
to search
for
software
? Select the option
-> „No, not this time”
and click
-> Next
to continue installation. The Hardware
Wizard identifi es the controller as a
„PCI-Serial port”
.
Select the option
„Install from a list or specifi c location
(Advanced)”
. Click on
-> Next
. Now insert the supplied
driver CD. Should a window appear with the question
„What do you want Windows to do?”
, choose the
option
„Do not carry out any action”
and click
-> OK
. In
the
„Search and installation options”
window, choose
„Include this location in the search”
and enter
„D:\Dri-
ver\XP\Windows32Bit”
(where
D:
represents the initial
of your disc drive and must be changed if necessary)
-> Next
. The card is now recognised as a
„High-Speed
PCI Serial Port”
. If the message
„The software you are
installing for this hardware: High-Speed PCI Serial
Port has not passed the Windows logo test that checks
compatibility with Windows XP”
, click on
„Continue
anyway”
. Windows now copies the required fi les from
the CD. Click
-> Finish
.
You can check whether the controller has been installed
successfully by selecting
-> Start -> Control Panel ->
Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware

. The following must appear without
a yellow exclamation point.
Ports (COM & LPT)

install Service Pack 3 at least due to enhancements and
improved functionality.
