MagTek 99875125 - Manual (Page 69)

APPENDIX A. INSTALLATION AND SETUP
The distribution CD contains the MTD Driver files for many of the MagTek products. When the files are
acquired from the Internet, unzip the files into an installation directory (DISK1) and run the setup from that
location. In addition to the drivers, there are many files that are required to support the installation and
operation of these drivers. The CD will normally auto-run; if it does not, select RUN from the Start menu
and type: D:\setup (where “D” designates the location of the CD or its image).
Some of the Drivers support multiple configurations of the associated product. For example, the IntelliPIN
Driver (IPIN.VXD) provides an interface vehicle for three different interface configurations. When a
Driver is installed, be sure to select the proper interface type for your installation.
Note
When operating Windows NT, 2000, or XP, only users with administrator privileges
may install system components. You must log on as an administrator (or as a user
with full administrator privileges) before attempting to install the MTD drivers.
After installing a driver, you will be given the option of adjusting the Port Name (virtual port) and the
Connect to (physical port) values. The Port Name is the COMxx port by which the device will be
addressed. The Connect to is the port that the device is physically attached to on the PC.
Note
It is important to remove the previous version of MTD and re-boot the system before
installing this version of the MTD Driver. The installation script provided cannot
upgrade MTD from versions prior to versions 1.12. Refer to the section “Removing
old MTD Versions” at the end of this appendix.
General Notes:
1.
The computer and device should be powered off when connecting any devices.
2. Although you do not have to have the device connected to install the driver, it is highly
recommended. This allows the device and driver to be tested when the driver is installed.
3. Note which hardware port each device is using on the computer as this information will be used
later in the driver installation process.
