Windows NT4/2000 Driver Description
This chapter describes the requirements and features of the Windows NT4/2000 device
driver “ekf960si1" for the EKF Intelligent I/O Controller family. Furthermore all issues related
to the installation on a Windows NT4 respective Windows 2000 system are discussed.
Hardware Requirements
The installation of the WinNT/2000 driver “ekf960si1" requires a
CompactPCI
System that at
least consists of
main CPU Board with System Controller Function,
at least one free CompactPCI slot for EKF's Intelligent I/O Controllers CG1-RADIO,
CU1-CHORUS, CU2-QUARTET or CX1-BAND.
In order to get a proper function of the I/O controllers, they should have the following jumper
configuration:
Note: The 5
st
jumper of JCNF exists on the CANbus controller board CX1-BAND only and
replaces the function of jumper JCLK.
See also the User’s Manual of the corresponding boards for details of the jumper settings
and their function. It also contains a section how to install or remove a board into a
CompactPCI system rack.
Some system BIOS's may have a problem to recognize the I/O controllers on system boot.
When the controller isn't shown in the PCI device list that the BIOS displays during the boot
procedure, pull jumper 4 of JCNF and reboot again. This will inhibit a board reset when the
CompactPCI reset line is active. Disadvantage of this setting is, that power has to switch off
and on again to generate an on-board reset on the I/O controller.
