Software Installation
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Installation
1. Start Windows.
2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.
3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically launch. Otherwise,
point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root directory of the CD
4. Select ‘Install Software’.
5. Select the Item number for your adapter from the listing.
6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically detect the operating
environment and install the proper components. Next (depending on your browser) select the
‘Run this program from its current location’ or ‘Open’ option. Follow the information
presented on the screens that follow.
7. Run the Add/Remove Hardware utility located in Control Panel. Double click the icon to
launch the Wizard. When the Choose Hardware Task appears choose Add/Troubleshoot a
device. At that point Windows will search for Plug and Play devices. Since the ISA board is
not Plug and Play it will not be found. If Windows finds something you were not expecting,
cancel that install and click Next. When Choose a Hardware Device appears select Add a
new device. Windows will then ask if you want it to search and you select No, I want to
select the hardware from a list. Then click Next. After choosing Next you will see Hardware
Type. If you are installing a single port serial card select Ports (COM & LPT). If you are
installing a multi-port serial card, (two or more ports), choose Multi-port serial adapters.
Click Next. The Select a Device Driver window will appear. On the left side find Sealevel
Systems, Inc. and on the right side of the window select the card type you are installing.
8. Windows will now show a warning message that it could not detect the settings of the device
and that you must enter the settings manually. Click OK. The Add New Hardware Wizard
Properties window will appear. This window will show the default settings for the I/O
address and one IRQ. The one IRQ will mean that you will be sharing one IRQ for all ports
on the board for a multi-port card. You will only need one IRQ if installing a single port
card. Since Windows cannot detect the settings there may be a conflict with another device
or the settings shown may not be the settings you wish to use. To change the settings choose
Basic configuration 0001 next tot eh heading Setting based on:. When this configuration is
chosen the Resources window will appear with all question marks. Simply choose each
Input/Output Range and IRQ and change the settings to match the board settings. Make sure
there are no conflicts with other devices that would appear at the bottom of the window under
Conflicting device list. After you have either accepted the default settings or changed the
settings, the Start Hardware Installation window will appear. Click Next.
9. The next window that may appear will be the Digital Signature Not Found. Do not search for
digitally signed software and continue with installation. The Completing the Add/Remove
Hardware Wizard window will appear. You will be given a chance to change the resource
settings again at this point if necessary. Choose Finish. At this point you will need to restart
your computer. After restarting the Found New Hardware window will appear for each port
that you are installing. To confirm that the drivers installed, you can now look in Device
Manager under Ports (COM & LPT) and each of the ports should show with their
corresponding COM number.
