Evaluation Kit for USS-720 Instant USB	Information Manual, Rev. 1
USB-to-IEEE1284 Bridge	September 1999

Getting Started Instructions

An initial evaluation of the USS-720 device can be performed using the In-System Design USB Smart Cable (i.e., the Lucent USS-720-based USB printer cable), the above-mentioned required hardware, and software supplied on the 3 1/2 in. diskette included in this kit. The basic evaluation procedure consists of the following steps outlined below for OSR2.1 and Windows 98:

OSR2.1 Cable Installation Instructions:

1.Connect the USB printer cable to a printer that is turned on and follow the instructions listed below. (Note that although it is not necessary to plug the USB printer cable into a printer to perform the following steps, the use of the printer provides a better demonstration of the USS-720 device's functionality.)

2.With the PC running OSR2.1/QFE 1214, plug the USB end of the USB printer cable into the PC's USB port.

A New Hardware Found box will appear stating that an Unknown Device has been found. Then, the Building Driver Information Database box will appear as the database is being built. At the end of this process, the Update Device Driver Wizard box will appear on the screen.

3.Follow the prompts to complete the installation of the Unknown Device, i.e., the USB printer cable:

a.Insert the diskette into the floppy disk drive.

b.Click on the Next button in the Update Device Driver Wizard box. Using the “Browse” button, direct the sys- tem to the Win95_OSR21 folder on the diskette to find the driver for the “Lucent USS720-based USB Cable.”

c.Click on the Finish button.

4.At this point, the files should automatically be copied from the diskette. The installation process is now com- plete.

Note: If a Plug and Play printer is being used, then a Plug and Play prompt may appear at this point to install the printer drivers.

5.To verify that the Lucent USS-720-based USB cable has been correctly installed, right click on My Computer, and then left click on Properties to access the System Properties box.

6.Choose the Device Manager tab in this box. The “Lucent USS720-based USB Cables” device type should appear in the list under “Computer”.

7.Double click on “Lucent USS720-based USB Cables”. Another entry, “Lucent USS720-based USB Cable” device will appear underneath.

8.Now double click on “Lucent USS720-based USB Smart Cable”. A “Lucent USS720-based USB Cable Proper- ties” box will appear. If the installation was successful, the device status will state that the device is working properly. If the installation was not successful, use the Cleanup.exe file on the diskette to first uninstall the soft- ware, then return to step 2 above.

Note: Cleanup.exe is a utility provided as a convenience to developers using the evaluation kit. It removes the driver files from the system. Cleanup.exe only works with the driver files provided with the evaluation kit and is not suitable, nor licensed, for distribution to end-users.

If the installation was successful and a printer was attached to the USB printer Cable in step 1, a test page can now be printed:

■Click on Start/Settings/Printers.

■Right click on the icon for the printer connected to the USB printer cable, then left click on Properties.

■Choose the Details tab. Select the correct USBLPT port [e.g., USBLPT1 (USB Port)] under “Print to the following port:”. Under “Print using the following driver:”, select the driver that corresponds to the correct printer. Click on the Apply button and then select the “General” tab.

■To begin the printing process, click on the Print Test Page button.
