9. Installing the device drivers in Windows XP

Windows XP is the direct successor to Windows 2000 and behaves similarly to its predecessor.

Throughout this chapter it is assumed that you are logged on to a Windows XP Home Edition or Professional system as a local Administrator. If you are not logged on as a local Administrator, you might not be able to perform all the steps outlined in this chapter.

Note that the device drivers provided on the CD no longer support the German ISDN D-channel protocol 1TR6.

The device drivers for the IBM International ISDN PC Card are installed in one step: install the CAPI 2.0-compliant device drivers.

No separate installation is required for the NDIS WAN CAPI Device Driver: it is installed automatically with the CAPI 2.0-compliant device driver.

Installing the device drivers in Windows XP

To install the device drivers in Windows XP Home Edition and Professional, proceed as follows:

1.Turn off the computer, select a PCMCIA slot and insert the IBM International ISDN PC Card into this slot without the ISDN cable attached.

2.Turn the computer back on. The Found New Hardware window opens and reports that an ISDN CARD was detected.

3.Now insert the CD labeled IBM International ISDN PC Card Installation Software into your computer CD-ROM drive. Then select the option Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next.
