®
2008,
Windows
®
Vista, XP, 2003, 2000 Server, 2000 Advanced Server, and Linux. The ISI drivers are the same for the
ISI5634-UPCI and the ISI9234-PCI Express products. This chapter describes the installation of these drivers. You
may need to configure the modems for your country/region, the procedure for doing this is at the end of this
chapter. The installation and use of the Reset Utility is described in Chapter 4.
Installing a device driver modifies your system. For this reason, only the super user (system administrator) is
allowed to perform the installation. If you cannot login as administrator, find the person in your organization with
this authorization (i.e., password). To begin driver installation, login as administrator. Then proceed with the
appropriate installation section in this chapter.
Windows Drivers: The MultiModem product driver must be installed in your computer’s program directory. The
Windows drivers are located on the MultiModem product CD in the Drivers I Windows Drivers folder. A complete
set of drivers for each operating system is organized into Vista and XP with either 32-bit or 64-bit processor. Most
users will select either the 32-bit Vista or 32-bit XP drivers (Windows 2003 also use the XP drivers)
. Windows 2000
users must select the drivers from the Drivers I Windows_2000 directory. Server users can select either 32-bit or
64-bit depending on their application. For server users to determine whether they have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating
system, go to Start I All Programs I Accessories I System Tools I Computer and click on the System
Properties button. Under System you will see System Type: 64-bit Operating System.
Linux Drivers : Linux Operating System drivers are also located on the CD in the Drivers I Linux Folder. Refer to
the Readme file (also in the Linux directory) for the correct driver file and installation guide for your
distribution/version of Linux.
