Preparing For The Installation - Nortel Passport 4400 Using Manual

The Problem
However, if you uninstall the null modem driver and then reinstall Install Tool, the
installation process does not automatically reinstall that driver. Consequently, you
will be unable to configure a Dial-Up Networking connection between your
workstation and the Passport 4400.
The Solution
To avoid this problem, perform the following sequence of tasks before reinstalling
Install Tool:
1
Start Windows Explorer.
2
Change the Explorer display attribute to show all files (including hidden files).
3
Go to the Windows\inf directory (normally, this directory is hidden).
4
Delete or rename the Passport.inf file from the Windows\inf directory.
5 Change the Explorer display attribute back to its normal state.
Once you remove the Passport.inf file, the Install Tool installation process will
automatically reinstall the null modem driver.

Preparing for the Installation

Before starting the installation procedures, complete the following tasks:
• If you are running an older version of Install Tool, it is recommended that you
uninstall the older version before installing the latest version. If you decide to
retain an older version, be sure to install the new version in a different
directory. (Installing one version in the same directory as an existing version
can cause problems if you try to uninstall either version.)
• If necessary, download the Install Tool executable from the Partner Business
Center web site (Refer to
• If Windows Dial-Up Networking or TCP/IP is not installed on your
workstation, make sure that your Windows software distribution media is
available (you will need it to install those components).
