5.5 Using the "New Hardware Found" Wizard

The following instructions provide step-by-step instructions on installing the

DSC-200/300 in Windows using the "New Hardware Found" wizard.

1. After booting the computer with a newly-installed DSC-200/300, the "New

Hardware Found" dialog box will appear. If you have never installed a Quatech
PCI communications adapter before, the dialog box may simply indicate that it
has found a "PCI Card."

2. Select the radio button for "Driver from disk provided by hardware

manufacturer." Click the "OK" button to continue.

3. An "Install From Disk" dialog box should pop up. Insert the CD with the

Quatech INF files on it, select the correct drive letter, and click the "OK" button.
Windows automatically browses the root directory for an INF file that defines
configurations for Multi-function Adapters. If no INF files are found, click the
"Browse" button and search the Win95 sub directory on the installation diskette.
You are not required to select the file name. After finding the directory
containing the INF files, Windows will choose the correct file.

4. The "New Hardware Found" dialog box will appear again, this time for an

"Unknown Device."

5. Again select the radio button for "Driver from disk provided by hardware

manufacturer." Click the "OK" button to continue.

6. Another "Install From Disk" dialog box will pop up. The path should already be

pointing to the Quatech diskette. Click the "OK" button to continue.

7. You should now see the "Copying Files" dialog box as Windows 95 copies the

driver files from the diskette.

8. The installation utility will ask for your Window installation disks. Serial

communication ports require two drivers supplied by Microsoft to function:
SERIAL.VXD and SERIALUI.DLL. Insert the disk or CD and click "OK".

NOTE

:

You may be able to skip this step if you are certain that your system has the

latest version of these files installed. If you do not have your Windows 95

install CD immediately available, click "OK" anyway. A dialog box

appears with an option to Skip the files. Click the Skip button and the files

will not be installed. This is all right if the latest version of these drivers

are currently in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
