Device Drivers

If you know a driver’s IP address and port number, you can enter it manually by completing the following steps:

1. Double-click <Add New Driver> in the right pane of the Object Browser. The Add New Driver dialog box appears.

2. By default, the server’s IP address appears in the Driver IP Address box. If the device driver is not installed on the server, type the IP address

of the workstation the driver is installed on.

Click Browse to browse the network for drivers that are currently running. The Browse Drivers dialog box lists all device drivers that are

running at a network location visible to the server you are conﬁguring, except drivers that are already conﬁgured on the server. Select the

driver you want to add, and then click OK.

3. Type the listening port for the device driver you want to add. This is the port that was entered in the Conﬁgure Driver window when the

device driver was launched. Refer to

Step 4: Start VMX300(-E) Device Drivers

for more information.

4. Optional: To verify that a device driver is running at the speciﬁed IP address and port number, click Check Now.

5. Click Add.

6. Repeat these steps for each device driver that you launched in

Step 4, Start VMX300(-E) Device Drivers.

The Autodiscover All Drivers function locates all drivers running on the local area network (LAN) that are visible to the VMX300(-E) server. To add

a driver that is running on a wide area network (WAN), use the Add New Driver option, described above.

1. Double-click <Autodiscover All Drivers> in the right pane of the Object Browser. A caution message appears.

2. Click Yes. The process may take several seconds; when it is complete, the new driver names appear in the Object Browser.

3. If the autodiscover function did not ﬁnd every driver that you wanted to add, use the Add New Driver option to add the remaining drivers.

In order for the VMX300(-E) system to locate a device driver automatically, the driver must be running at a network location that is visible to

the VMX300(-E) server.

NOTE:

To add a device driver to the server conﬁguration, the driver must be running—either on the server workstation or on the network.
