Introduction.

This section contains the installation procedures of the PCI
VELOCITY RS422/485 card, with the Windows 95 & 98,
Windows NT DOS, and Windows 3.x operating systems.
As previously noted, the install procedure for the Velocity
and Opto Isolated PCI RS422/485 cards are the same, with the
only difference being the reported card name in Windows 95 & 98
and NT 4.0; instances where this occurs will be clearly labeled.
The setup procedures in this chapter assume that your PC
has only one serial port present.
Installing Ports In Microsoft Windows 95 & 98.
Although covering the installation of the PCI Velocity
RS422/485 the Windows 95 operating system, the procedure is
also valid, with only minor differences, in the Windows 98
Operating System. The Windows 95 environment now supports up
to 255 standard serial ports, RS232, RS422, RS485 etc.
To obtain a trouble free mix-and-match of the COM ports:
Switch off your computer, insert your PCI RS422/485 card into
a free PCI slot, as described in the section "Hardware
Installation" in Chapter 2, and switch your computer on again.
During the booting process, Windows 95 will detect the PCI
Velocity RS422/485, but will display it simply as a "PCI
CARD", and you will briefly see a message box to this effect.
