  • Page 9: Scope

    C²I² Systems HSS8 Adapter. The HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver binaries are provided with explicit installation instructions. The HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver will also run as a legacy software driver under Windows 2000 or XP, but does not support Plug and Play (PnP), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or power management.

  • Page 11: Configuration Procedure

    Please note that by default the software driver will not be listed in the Device Manager. To view the adapter, select View and then “Show hidden devices”. The HSS8 is listed under the “Non-Plug and Play Drivers” node. Windows will indicate the adapter as an ISA device, this is normal as it is how Windows treats non-PnP drivers.

  • Page 12: Uninstalling The Software Driver

    Uninstalling the Software Driver In the Start menu, select Control Panel from the Settings menu. Click on “Add/Remove Programs”. Select the “HSS8 Windows Driver (vX.Y.Z)” from the list and click the Remove button. Answer yes to delete all files from the HDD.

  • Page 13: Using The Event Viewer

    Using the Event Viewer The Windows administrative tool, “Event Viewer” can be used to inspect the event logs. The HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver logs certain information and fatal errors to the event log. Refer to the event log when an operation does not function as expected.

  • Page 14: Application Program Interface (Api)

    Application Program Interface (API) The HSS8 Windows NT Software Driver complies to most of the Windows 32 API for serial devices, i.e. channels can be opened and used in the Windows HyperTerminal application. Refer to the Platform SDK in [2.1.4] for the communications resource documentation. The serial function prototypes can be found in the SDK file “winbase.h”.

    4.3.6 FlushFileBuffers Not supported. Structure Limitations Not all the fields of the serial structures are used by the HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver. This paragraph will mention all the exceptions. 4.4.1 COMMCONFIG dwProviderSubType : none of the types makes provision for a device that is both RS-232 and RS-422 capable.

  • Page 16: Hss8 Windows Nt 4 Software Driver Protocol Settings

    When “Lock Settings” is checked, all requests via the Win32 API will be ignored. Any change in baud rate or parity will then not be updated, the HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver will keep the setting as specified in the control panel.

  • Page 17: Using The Control Panel To Obtain The Current Version Information

    Software Driver information dialogue shown in Figure 3. The Driver version is referring to the HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver itself. It has the format X.Y.Z. A change in X would indicate that the HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver has an added feature. Y would mean that a new software driver engine is used in the software driver.
