Please note that you must be logged into an account with administrator privileges before proceeding.
1. Connect the USB cable. (Refer to the Table of Contents to locate the cabling instructions for your
specific Edgeport model.) If your computer is connected to the internet, the latest Microsoft certified
drivers will be automatically downloaded from the Microsoft driver update server. If not, continue with
step 3.
2. Insert the “Edgeport Driver” CD into your CD-ROM drive. In most cases the drivers will be
automatically installed from the CD. If not, proceed with step 4.
3. When the Found New Hardware Wizard appears, select Install from a list or specific location
(Advanced) and click Next.
4. Select Search for a suitable driver for my device and click Next.
5. Select Specify a location and click Next.
6. Type in <CD drive letter>:\Win2k and click OK.
7. Confirm that Windows is pointing to <CD drive letter>:\Win2k. Then click Next.
Note: Drivers installed from the CD have received “Designed for Windows 2000” certification.
Drivers downloaded from our web site may be pending certification. If so, Windows 2000 will display
a warning: Digital Signature Not Found. Click Yes to continue with driver installation. If you click No
you will need to contact Digi Technical Support before installing your USB Plus Series product.
8. Wait while Windows finishes installing the driver files and click Finish to complete the installation.
Your new COM port(s), numbered sequentially following the existing ports in your system, is/are ready.
For Windows 98, and Me
1. After connecting the USB cable, insert the "Edgeport Driver" CD into your CD-ROM drive. (Refer to
the Table of Contents to locate the cabling instructions for your specific Edgeport model.)
2. When the Add New Hardware Wizard appears, click Next.
3. Select Search for the best driver for your device and click Next.
4. Select "Specify a location" and type in <CD drive letter>:\Win98. Then click Next.
5. Confirm that Windows is pointing to <CD drive letter>:\Win98. Click Next. Windows will then
copy over the driver files.
6. Click Finish to complete the driver installation.
Installation is complete when no more dialogs appear. Your new COM port(s), numbered sequentially following the
existing ports in your system, is/are ready.
For Windows NT 4.0
Because Microsoft does not support USB in NT4.0, Digi supplies a set of USB drivers that will be installed along
with the necessary Edgeport drivers. NOTE: You must install the drivers using an account that has administrative
privileges!
To install the USB stack and Edgeport drivers:
1. Insert the “Edgeport Driver” CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. When the welcome dialog appears, click the Install Driver button.
Once the driver installation program has begun, follow the on screen instructions.
