Adding additional cards and/or updating drivers

Whenever you add any additional FAST hardware to your system, Windows might install the
latest digitally signed driver in its database (depending on your Windows operating system
and settings). To ensure you have the latest driver installed after you add new hardware, you
can either:

Click

Start > All Programs > Perle > Perle-Serial > Update Driver

or

Reinstall the drivers as described in

Installing device drivers and utilities onto your

system

.

Adding AT host cards to the system

When you physically install an AT host card in your system you also need to add the card to
the list of installed devices in the system.

To add AT host cards to your system proceed as follows:

1. In the Windows desktop, click on the

Start

button and select

Settings > Control Panel

The control panel window is now displayed.

2. In the control panel window, double click on the

System

icon.

The Add/Remove Hardware Wizard is now displayed.

Note

The addresses used by AT-FAST host cards are normally set by
default. This procedure is used when you wish to set non-standard
addresses.
