Installing the NDIS Driver Software
The system automatically detects new hardware and prompts you to
install the driver software for that device when a Windows XP system first
boots up. The same windows are displayed after an existing device driver
is removed.
There are two installation procedures:
“Using the Driver Installer” on page 30
“Updating the Adapter Software” on page 33
Note
The adapter must be physically installed in your system before
installing the driver software. See Chapter 2, “Installing the
Hardware” on page 17 for details.
Not
If the Windows XP system detects an adapter and installs a
default driver, update the driver as described in “Updating the
Adapter Software” on page 33.
Note
If there is an onboard Broadcom network interface, the native
Broadcom driver may load. It is recommended to install the latest
driver supplied by Allied Telesis.
Note
After XP driver installation AT-2716POE ATMux Configuration
software must be installed to complete the bridging function of the
adapter, refer to Chapter 5 for details.

service pack applied.
