4 • Driver installation and configuration

 

 

Note If you installed your adapter before performing this procedure, go to

Completing an Installation instead.

Procedure

1.Ensure that Windows 2000 is running on your system.

2.Install the adapter according to the hardware installation instructions.

3.Apply power to the system and start Windows 2000. Select the location where the driver is located.

4.If the driver is unsigned, choose Yes to continue through each of the Digital Signature Not Found warnings. This ensures that the most current driver software is installed.

5.Follow the instructions to complete the installation. For most Patton adapters, a configuration wizard starts automatically as part of the installation process.

When the installation is complete, the adapter is ready to use. There is no need to restart Windows unless you are notified to do so.

Upgrading the Driver

Use this procedure to upgrade Patton device drivers for Microsoft Windows 2000 adapters already installed in your system.

Because a Patton device driver often supports multiple types of adapters, you must use the Patton Driver Upgrade Wizard to upgrade drivers. The wizard resolves possible driver conflicts and ensures that the correct drivers install for the Patton adapters in your system.

Patton drivers are available online at www.patton.com/support/upgrades. Patton drivers for Windows 2000 may be either signed or unsigned.

Procedure

To update a previously installed Digi device driver to a new Patton device driver, do the following:

1.First, run the program padrcln.cmd to remove the existing INF files for the adapter. This ensures that the new driver files will be installed instead of the old driver files. padrcln.cmd is part of the driver software pack- age and can be found in the same directory as the new driver files.

2.Next, navigate to the Device Manager and locate the adapter whose device driver is to be updated:

From the Desktop, right-click on My Computer

Select Manage

In the left-hand side of the Computer Management window, select Device Manager

Locate the adapter to update:

In the right-hand side of the window, expand the Network adapters category.

Right-click on the device to update

Choose Properties

Begin the upgrade process:

– Click the Driver tab
