1. Introducing This document describes the process of installing the Armatix iS1 device for the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.
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-clickin

Figure 2. 2 • Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and enter the file path in the combo-box ("C:\CDM 2.02.04" in Figure 2.3 below) or browse to it by clicking the browse button. Once the file path has been entered in the box, click next to proceed. Figure 2.
• If Windows XP is configured to warn when unsigned (non-WHQL certified) drivers are about to be installed, the message dialogue shown in Figure 2.4 will be displayed unless installing a Microsoft WHQL certified driver. Click on "Continue Anyway" to continue with the installation. If Windows XP is configured to ignore file signature warnings, no message will appear. Figure 2. 4 • The screen shown in Figure 2.5 will be displayed as Windows XP copies the required driver files. Figure 2.
• Windows should then display a message indicating that the installation was successful (Figure 2.6). Click "Finish" to complete the installation for the first port of the device. Figure 2. 6 • The Found New Hardware Wizard will launch automatically to install the COM port emulation drivers. As above, select "No, not this time" From the options and click "Next" to proceed with the installation (Figure 2.7). Figure 2.
• Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" as shown in Figure 2.8 below and then click "Next". Figure 2. 8 • Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and enter the file path in the combo-box ("C:\CDM 2.02.04" in figure 2.9 below) or browse to it by clicking the browse button. Once the file path has been entered in the box, click next to proceed. Figure 2.
• If Windows XP is configured to warn when unsigned (non-WHQL certified) drivers are about to be installed, the message dialogue shown in Figure 2.10 will be displayed unless installing a Microsoft WHQL certified driver. Click on "Continue Anyway" to continue with the installation. If Windows XP is configured to ignore file signature warnings, no message will appear.

port of the device. Figure 2. 12 • Open the Device Manager (located in "Control Panel\System" then select the "Hardware" tab and click "Device Manger") and select "View > Devices by Connection", the device appears as a "USB Serial Converter" with an additional COM port with the label "USB Serial Port" (Figure 2.13). Figure 2.
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.
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.
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.
