Installing a PC/X adapter in Windows NT

Symptom:

I can not find Windows NT drivers for my PC/X adapter.

 

Cause:

  • Digi does not provide Windows NT drivers for the PC/X adapters.

     

Solutions:

  • Digi provides installation information below for customers wishing to use the PC/X product in a Windows NT environment. Following the instructions will allow the Microsoft serial drivers to recognize the serial ports of the PC/X. There is no technical support available for this configuration. NOTE: Do not add the ports in ControlPanel, Ports.
