Performing the Silent Installation
To simplify the driver installation process, you may perform a silent
installation when installing driver software for the AT-2911GP adapter
card entries. The silent installation is a method of installing software in the
silent mode without constant interactions by suppressing dialog boxes.
Note
You can apply the silent installation method only to Microsoft
certified drivers. The drivers that Allied Telesis provides for the AT-
2911GP adapters are all Microsoft certified.
Use a command line utility called Driver package Installer (DPInst) for the
silent installation. DPInst is included in the Windows Developer Kit (WDK)
provided by Microsoft. You can obtain the latest DPInst by downloading
and installing the latest WDK from the Microsoft website.
