Chapter 3 Driver Setup & Installation
3.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the driver installation, configuration and removal
procedures for the Windows operating system, including Windows 98/
NT/2000/XP. We strongly recommend that you install the software
driver before you install the hardware into your system, since this
will guarantee a smooth and trouble-free installation process.
3.2 Driver Setup
Windows 98/2000/XP supports COM1 to COM256, meaning up to 256
serial ports. In order to fully utilize the advanced features of Windows 98/
2000/XP, such as multi-process and multithread, pure 32-bit Windows
98/2000/XP device drivers are provided for the PCI communication
cards. All these drivers conform to the Win32 COMM API standard.
3.2.1 Steps for Windows 98/2000/XP Driver Setup
Before you install the card into your system, we recommend you install
the driver first. Please follow the steps below for the PCI communication
card’s Windows 98/2000/XP driver installation.
1. Insert your companion CD-ROM disc into your CD-ROM drive.
2. The driver setup program will be launched automatically. If the
auto-play function is not enabled on your system, use Windows
Explorer or the Windows Run command to execute autorun.exe on
the companion CD-ROM.
