Chapter 3—Software Installation
Introduction
The ISI Cards ship with drivers and software for each of the following operating systems: Windows Server
®
2008,
Windows
®
7, Vista, XP, 2003, and Linux. The ISI drivers are the same for the ISI5634-UPCI and the ISI9234-PCI
Express products. This chapter describes the installation of these drivers. You may need to configure the modems
for your country/region, the procedure for doing this is at the end of this chapter. The installation and use of the
Reset Utility is described in Chapter 4.
Installing a device driver modifies your system. For this reason, only the
super user
(system administrator) is
allowed to perform the installation. If you cannot login as
administrator,
find the person in your organization with
this authorization (i.e., password). To begin driver installation, login as
administrator.
Then proceed with the
appropriate installation section in this chapter.
Windows Drivers:
The ISI Card product driver must be installed in your computer’s program directory. The
Windows drivers are located on the ISI Card product CD in the Drivers folder. There are four Windows driver
folders; Win32bit-Vista-2008-Win7 and a 64-bit version. Also, Win32bit-XP-2003 for the older Windows operating
systems and a 64-bit version.
For server users to determine whether they have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system, go to
Start I All Programs I
Accessories I System Tools I Computer
and click on the
System Properties
button. Under
System
you will see
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
.
Linux Drivers :
Linux Operating System drivers are also located on the CD in the
Drivers I Linux Folder
. Refer to
the Readme file (also in the Linux directory) for the correct driver file and installation guide for your
distribution/version of Linux.
Overview of Windows Driver Installation:
Before inserting your ISI card into a PCI slot, please run the Windows Installer program from your product CD. This
makes all Windows operating systems installations faster than the manual method described below.
If you do not run the Driver Pre-installation program from your product CD, three install wizards will guide you
through the software installation in this order:
Part A
installs the PCI driver.
Part B
associates a PC port with the PCI driver, and finally
Part C
installs the modem driver.
Note:
Windows 7 no longer uses install wizards, so the manual install process is detailed for you.
