Device Driver Installation
Installation Setup Wizard
You can use the following procedure to install the device driver and the Comtrol
Drivers Management Console, which is used to configure the driver.
1.
Locate the latest driver assembly (.exe) for your product and copy it to a
location that is available to the host.
You can use one of the following methods to access the latest driver:
•
Download the latest device driver
for your adapter.
•
The Software and Documentation CD contains all of the files for
installation, configuration, and troubleshooting. The CD also provides
download links to the Comtrol ftp site to locate the latest files.
2.
Close any applications that are using serial ports before the device driver
installation.
3.
Install the adapter and connect the interface (Quadcable, Octacable, or
interface box). If you need hardware installation procedures, see
the Latest Software and User Guides
on Page 7) to locate the User Guide for
your adapter type.
Do not connect RS-422/485 devices until the appropriate port interface
type has been configured in the device driver. The RocketPort default
port setting is RS-232, except for SMPTE models, which are set to RS-
422.
4.
Click Cancel if a Found New Hardware message appears.
5.
Start the installation by executing the appropriate .exe file for your adapter.
Driver assembly file names include the driver version number.
For example, RocketPort_RocketModem_Windows_x.xx.exe or
RP_EXPRESS_INFINITY_Windows_x.xx.exe, where x.xx is the driver assembly
version.
