Installing and Using the STEP 7-Micro/WIN Software
Special Hardware Installation Information for Windows NT Users
Installing hardware modules under the Windows NT operating system is slightly different
from installing hardware modules under Windows 95. Although the hardware modules are
the same for either operating system, installation under Windows NT requires more
knowledge of the hardware that you want to install. Windows 95 tries automatically to set up
system resources for you; however, Windows NT does not. Windows NT provides you with
default values only. These values may or may not match the hardware configuration.
However, these parameters can be modified easily to match the required system settings.
When you have installed a piece of hardware, select it from the Installed list box and click the
"Resources" button. The Resources dialog box appears. See Figure 3-2. The Resources
dialog box allows you to modify the system settings for the actual piece of hardware that you
installed. If this button is unavailable (gray), you do not need to do anything more.
At this point you may need to refer to your hardware manual to determine the setting for each
of the parameters listed in the dialog box, depending on your hardware settings. You may
need to try several different interrupts in order to establish communication correctly.
For detailed information on the communications setup for your configuration, see
Section 3.3.
