Driver installation for the Windows 2000 operating system
This section describes installing and configuring the DialFire device driver package.
Supported Products
Use this documentation to help you install and configure Windows 2000 device drivers for the following Pat-
ton RAS products:
•
DialFire RAS PT1&PT2 & PE1&PE2
•
DialFire RAS B4ST\U adapters
Requirements
The following factors affect the process of installing or upgrading Patton device drivers:
•
New Patton drivers may be delivered on a CD-ROM or downloaded from the Patton Support Web site
(
support.patton.com
).
•
Patton drivers for Microsoft Windows 2000 may be either signed or unsigned.
•
Some Patton adapters may have an outdated driver in the Windows 2000 driver database, which must be
replaced when you install the adapter.
•
A Patton device driver often supports multiple types of adapters. It is possible for driver version conflicts to
occur, depending on the specific combination of adapters and drivers in your system.
Windows 2000 Plug and Play installation, while appropriate for most devices, does not resolve conflicts result-
ing from these factors.
For most Patton adapters, a configuration wizard starts automatically as part of the installation or upgrade pro-
cess. You may need to step through configuration wizards for your installed adapters, but your current configu-
ration parameters remain intact unless you make changes.
Procedure
1. Install the adapter. See the appropriate hardware installation card for information.
Note
When you install multiple PCI adapters of the same type on a Win-
dows system, it is sometimes difficult to determine which adapter you
are configuring. To avoid confusion, you may wish to install and con-
figure the adapters one at a time.
