Because Microsoft does not support USB in NT4.0, Inside Out Networks supplies a set of USB
drivers that will be installed along with the necessary Edgeport drivers. NOTE: You must install
the drivers using an account that has administrative privileges.
To install the USB stack and Edgeport drivers:
1) Insert the "Edgeport Driver" CD version 2.80 or above into your CD-ROM drive.
2) When the welcome dialog appears, click the Install Driver button.
Once the driver installation program has begun, follow the on screen instructions.
3a) If you are installing drivers for the first time: An Information dialog informs you that the
installation was successful. After clicking OK, the installation is complete.
3b) If you are replacing existing Edgeport drivers: Follow the on-screen instructions. Note that,
before beginning the installation of the drivers, all applications with open ports must be closed
and all USB devices unplugged. If you close all the applications and unplug all the USB devices,
then you will not need to reboot for the new drivers to take effect immediately. If any applications
are left open or USB devices plugged in, you may choose to abort the installation or to continue
and be required to reboot before the upgrade can take effect.
Note that because Windows NT 4.0 is not Plug-and-Play, you will not see a pop-up dialog box
indicating that new hardware has been found. You may verify correct installation with the
Edgeport Utility (see page 16) or the USB Status Utility (as described below).
The USB Status Utility (Viewer) can be accessed by clicking the USB icon in your system tray or
by clicking on Start/Programs/Inside Out Networks Utilities/USB Status Utility. This utility lists
all the USB devices installed on your PC and provides other relevant information for each device.
You may also use this utility to create a log file.
1) Insert the "Edgeport Driver" CD version 2.80 or above into your CD-ROM drive.
2) Plug in the Base Unit. (For more information see "Cabling Watchport" on page 6.)
3) After connecting the USB cable, the Update Device Driver Wizard dialog appears. Click
Next to continue.
4) After Windows fails to locate the drivers on your floppy disk drive, click Other
Locations....
5) When the Select Other Location dialog appears, type <CD drive letter>:\Win95 and click
OK.
6) Confirm that Windows has found the correct driver location and click Finish.
7) When Windows prompts you for the driver disk, click OK.
8) At the next Windows prompt, type <CD drive letter>:\Win95 and click OK. Installation is
complete when no more dialogs appear.
