1.1 SETTING

For the PCI card, the operating system is able to detect and add automatically into the « Device Manager » the card. If you have installed an ISA card into your computer under Windows2000, you have to « install and configure » your card ( the operating system is not able to detect the card automatically, because the ISA format is not a Plug and Play device. The first operation that you have to do is to upgrade two files about the applicom driver (if you have an applicom version less than V3.4) .

Windows 2000 Applicom driver V3.3.x to V3.4.x

This is the « Computer management » before your « installation and configuration » about the ISA or PCI card.

When you have installed the V3.4.x or superior (or upgrade the files with the V3.3.x version), and only if you use a ISA card, you have to run the « Add / Remove hardware wizard » to define a new peripheral : ISA card.

On the list on the « Device Manager », you can not

2.1 TEST (PcInit)

When you start your computer (or reboot), the applicom card is empty (no task, no cyclic fonction, no configuration…) , well, you cannot use the card like that. To activate the applicom card, you have to run PCINIT: It is a software to load all needed tasks and functions on the card (and check in the meantime if the applicom card works fine). If your ISA or PCI card is correctly detected, logically at the end of the PcInit, it will be shut down automatically.

RUN PCINIT :

Do not forget to check the technote n°3 & 4 ifyou have any problem.
