Chapter 3: WINDOWS INSTALLATION
Windows 95 and Windows 98
Any prior installation using previous B&B Serial drivers must be
removed before installing the new drivers (refer to page 20).
Windows 98 screens are shown for this section. Windows 95 is a bit
different, fewer steps and the screen names and text shown differs.
Windows 95 differences are noted (W95:…).
1. Configure each port on the PCI card to the desired RS-
232/422/485 mode using the jumpers for Port 1, 2, 3 & 4.
2. Install the card in the slot, start the computer.
3. Windows will detect the PCI card, start the Add New Hardware
Wizard, and begin driver installation. When installation is
complete, Windows will set the hardware addressing & interrupt
using the drivers and the Plug and Play function of the
Operating System.
4. The driver installation proceeds in two parts: the first part
installs the driver for the PCI Serial card, the second part installs
the serial driver for each Com port on the card. After Port A
installation is finished, installation of Ports B, C, & D will proceed
without additional user input. (Port A=Port 1, Port D=Port 4)
