Installing Windows Vista Driver Software
Installation of the MIport driver software on Windows Vista is a three-step
process:
1. Windows Vista searches and identifies new hardware that has been
installed.
2. You use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install the driver
software for the card.
3. You use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install the software for
each port on the card.
There are several possible methods for installing the software. The procedure
outlined here is recommended for most situations.
Note: If at some point in the future, you want to update these drivers,
remove the old drivers before installing the new version. Refer to
Chapter 6 for driver removal procedures.
Pre-Installation Steps
1. Configure the port(s) on the card for the desired mode (RS-232, RS-
422 or RS-485) using the three DIP switches on the card.
2. If configuring for RS-422 or RS-485 Modes, and bias or termination
resistors are needed, add them at this time.
Note: Refer to Chapter 2 of information on DIP switch settings and
bias/termination resistors.
3. Install the card in the slot. Use appropriate ESD handling
precautions.
4. Power up the computer
5. Insert your driver disc in the CD-ROM drive.
