It is thus installed by just connecting it to a USB-port. We recommend that you install DriveWindow before installing any other hardware. DriveWindow includes a plug and play driver for NDPA-02 DDCS/PCMCIA. The driver is copied into the hard disk when DriveWindow is installed. Note! There is no 64-bit driver for NDPA-02 DDCS/PCMCIA. It means that it can be used in 32-bit operating systems. Because of limitations of XP Mode, it cannot be used in XP Mode either. The Windows plug and play system starts installing the driver the first time a NDPA-02 DDCS/PCMCIA board is found in a PCMCIA slot. Note! You must have Administrator privileges to be able to finish the driver installation. We recommend that you install DriveWindow before the NDPA-02 DDCS/PCMCIA board. If you do it the other way round, the driver is not available at a proper place. It means that the driver installation either fails at that moment, or Windows tells that the driver is not working properly. DriveWindow 2.40 supports practically unlimited number of NDPA-02 DDCS/PCMCIA boards (under 32-bit operating systems). General 1-8 DriveWindow 2 NETA-21 Remote Monitoring Device uses Ethernet and no specific drivers in are required for it in addition to the normal network communication software.
