Installing a 232HSPCC in Windows 9x.

The following procedure is used to configure a 232HSPCC for use with
Windows 9x:

1. Insert the 232HSPCC into any available PC Card socket.
2. The first time a new PC Card type is installed, either the New

Hardware Found window or the Update Device Driver Wizard
window is displayed. After the initial installation, Windows 9x will
automatically detect and configure the card. If neither window is
displayed, skip to the section "232HSPCC Resource Settings".

3. If your version of Windows displays the New Hardware Found

window, select the

Driver from Disk

option button and click

OK

to

continue. An Install From Disk dialog box should open. Insert the
232HSPCC disk, select the correct drive letter (generally A:), and
click the

OK

button. Windows 9x automatically browses the root

directory for an INF file that defines configurations for the new
hardware.

4. If your version of Windows displays the Update Device Driver

Wizard window, insert the 232HSPCC disk into the A: or B: drive
and click Next. Windows 9x automatically browses the root directory
of A: and B: for an INF file that defines configurations for the new
hardware. Windows 9x will report that is has found the driver for the
device. Click Finish to complete the installation.

5. During the installation, it may be necessary to supply the Windows 9x

CD or installation disks. Two drivers are required for serial devices,
SERIALUI.DLL and SERIAL.VXD. In many cases, these files are
already installed on the host computer. If this is the case, click “OK”
when prompted for disks and select the “skip” option. The version of
these files that exists in the Windows system directory will be used.

6. Windows 9x socket services should indicate the 232HSPCC PCMCIA

card configuration by a low-high tone beep.

The 232HSPCC should now be configured. Windows 9x

automatically assigns the 232HSPCC to the first available COM port
number. For detailed configuration information read the "232HSPCC
Resource Settings" section. In the future, Windows 9x will automatically
recognize and configure the 232HSPCC in this default configuration. The
232HSPCC will default to low speed mode when installed. To set the card
to high speed click on the B&B HIGH SPEED RS-232 PC CARD under
the PORTS in the DEVICE MANAGER. Click on the HIGH-SPEED tab,
then select 1x or 4x mode, and click on apply.
