### Driver Installation: ISA

Use this procedure to install Microsoft Windows 2000 device drivers for Digi ISA adapters.

#### Prerequisite

Before doing this procedure, make sure that:

- You have already physically installed the adapter in your computer according to the instructions on the hardware installation card for that adapter.
- You have written down the I/O address for each adapter (as set on the adapter's DIP switches).

#### Procedure

1. From the Start menu, choose Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Hardware > Next.
2. Choose Add/Troubleshoot a device > Next > Add a new device > Next.
3. When asked if you want Windows to search for new hardware, choose No > Next.
4. From the displayed list, and according to your adapter type, choose one of the following:

- Multi-port serial adapters > Next (for AccelePort asynchronous adapters)
- Network adapters > Next (for DataFire synchronous adapters)

5. From the Manufacturers pane, choose Digi International.
6. From the Models pane, choose your adapter > Next.

   If your adapter does not appear in the Models pane, or if you wish to install a newer driver than the one already in the operating system, choose Have disk and enter the path of the folder containing the drivers for your adapter (this will be either a Digi-supplied CD-ROM, or a folder into which you have downloaded the driver files).

7. You will now see the Start Hardware Installation dialog. Choose Next to continue.

8. If your adapter is not a C/X, EPC/X or Xem host adapter, skip this step.

   If your adapter is an AccelePort C/X, EPC/X or Xem host adapter, the Adapter Configuration Wizard will now appear. Use this wizard to add concentrators, PORTS and/or modem modules to your configuration.

9. If your adapter is a DataFire SYNC/570 adapter, skip this step.

   If your adapter is an AccelePort asynchronous serial adapter, you will now see the Ports Configuration dialog. Use this dialog to configure individual port properties and to rename ports.

   Note: when renaming ports, only the number can be changed; the prefix will always be COM.

10. You will now see the Completing the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard. If you left the adapter's DIP switch settings in the factory default position, choose Finish to complete the wizard.

    If you changed the DIP switches, do the following:

    1. Choose Resources > Set Configuration Manually.
    2. Choose Input/Output Range > Change Setting.
    3. Choose the Input/Output Range that corresponds to your DIP switch settings > OK > OK.
11. Choose Finish to complete the Add/Remove Hardware wizard.
12. If you changed the hardware resources from the default settings, restart your computer to complete the installation and activate the driver.

    If you left the hardware resources at their default values, the driver is ready to use without restarting the computer.
