Armatix iS1 User Manual 6/19 2011-07-01 1. Introducing This document describes the process of installing the Armatix iS1 device for the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.
Armatix iS1 User Manual 7/19 2011-07-01 2. Installing drivers To install the Armatix iS1 device under Windows XP, follow the instructions below: • Use the iS1 driver CD or download the latest drivers from the Armatix web site and unzip them to a location on your PC. • If you are running Windows XP or Windows XP SP 1, temporarily disconnect your PC from the Internet. This can be done by either removing the network cable from your PC or by disabling your network card by going to the "Control Panel\Network and Dial-Up Connections", right-clicking on the appropriate connection and selecting "Disable" from the menu. The connection can be re-enabled after the installation is complete. This is not necessary under Windows XP SP 2 if configured to ask before connecting to Windows Update. Windows XP SP 2 can have the settings for Windows Update changed through "Control Panel\System" then select the "Hardware" tab and click "Windows Update". • Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC. Once the composite driver has been installed Windows Found New Hardware Wizard will launch. If there is no available Internet connection or Windows XP SP 2 is configured to ask before connecting to Windows Update, the screen shown in Figure 2.1 is displayed. Select "No, not this time" from the options available and then click "Next" to proceed with the installation. If there is an available internet connection, Windows XP will silently connect to the Windows Update website and install any suitable driver it finds for the device in preference to the driver manually selected. Figure 2. 1

Armatix iS1 User Manual 14/19 2011-07-01 3. Uninstalling drivers Devices can be removed using the Device Manager by simply right-clicking on the device and selecting "Uninstall". This will delete the associated registry entries for that device only. Under Windows XP, driver files and OEM INF and PNF files must be removed manually or by using a custom application. OEM INF and PNF files are located in the Windows\Inf directory and can be identified by searching for a VID and PID string matching the device installed e.g. VID_0403&PID_6001. Once the matching OEM INF files are found (e.g. oem10.inf for FTDIBUS.INF and oem11.inf for FTDIPORT.INF), the corresponding PNF files must also be removed (e.g. oem10.pnf and oem11.pnf). Driver files are located in the Windows\System32 and Windows\System32\Drivers directories.
Armatix iS1 User Manual 15/19 2011-07-01 4. Troubleshooting 4.1. Windows XP Forces A Reboot After Installing a Device This problem can occur if an application is accessing a file while the New Hardware Wizard is trying to copy it. This usually occurs with the FTD2XX.DLL file. Selecting not to restart the computer then unplugging and re-plugging the device may allow the device to function properly without restarting. Restarting the machine will allow the device to work correctly. 4.2. Driver Installation Fails And Windows XP Gives Error Code 10 Windows error code 10 indicates a hardware error or failed driver installation. This error may appear if a device has insufficient power to operate correctly (e.g. plugged into a bus powered hub with other devices), or may indicate a more serious hardware problem. Also, it may be indicative of USB root hub drivers being incorrectly installed. 4.3. Windows XP Displays An Error And Then Terminates Installation If the following screen is displayed with this message, Windows XP has been configured to block the installation of any drivers that are not WHQL certified. Figure 4. 1
Armatix iS1 User Manual 16/19 2011-07-01 Two options are available to successfully install the device. Either a certified version of the driver can be installed (if available) or the driver signing options can be changed to either warn or ignore to allow the installation to complete. To change the current driver signing setting, go to "Control Panel\System", click on the "Hardware" tab and then click "Driver Signing". The desired signing option may then be selected.
