Chapter 4 Driver And Utility Installation 4.1. Driver CD Interface Introduction Acrosser provides the a driver CD, which includes the drivers, utilities, applications and documents. For Windows environment, it can be guided by the setup program; for Linux environment, the related files can be found at folder “IB75N1\Linux”. Once putting the CD into the optical disk drive, it will run automatically. The driver CD will also detect the MB information to see if they are matched.
4.1.1 Driver Page This is the Driver Installation Page.
Click the icon, all the drivers will be selected.
Click the icon, all selected items will be cleared.
Click the icon to install the selected drivers. The progress bar shows up. The main window will temporarily disappear.
Please click ‘Yes’ to restart the system.
Click this icon to browse this CD content.
4.1.2 Utility Page Note: For Testing utility running completely, it should be run at test-signed kernel-mode under Operating System x64 edition. “BCDEdit /set testsigning on” is the introduction to run at command mode which turns test-signed kernel-mode to on. Please refer to MSDN by following URL for more detail. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542202(v=vs.85).

Chapter 5 Software Installation and Programming Guide 5.1. Introduction 5.1.1 LCD Control Module The LCM (short for LCD Control Module) APIs provide interfaces to control the module. By invoking these APIs, programmers can implement the applications which have the functions listed below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Clear LCD screen. Turn on or off the cursor on the screen. Move the cursor on the screen. Turn on or off the text on the screen. Get the identification of the pressed key of the LCM.
5.1.4 IB75N Library (Window platform only) The released code for Windows platform includes a folder called ‘AMB-IB75N1’. In this folder, there are header files and source codes of all the APIs of LCM module, Watchdog, and LAN Bypass functions. The source codes in this folder generate the API library ‘IB75N.lib’ and ‘IB75N.dll’. Users who want to invoke the APIs can include the ‘IB75N.h’ in their application source code and compile their application with the library ‘IB75N.lib’ or ‘IB75N.dll’.
5.2.2 Watchdog On Linux platform: 1. Libw83627.h This file includes the declarations of the APIs and macro definitions. 2. maintest.c The source code of the utility. On Windows platform: 1. IB75N.h The header file of the APIs. 2. IB75N.lib and IB75N.dll The API libiaries. 5.2.3 LAN Bypass Subsystem On Linux platform: 1. bypass.h This file includes the declarations of the APIs and macro definitions. 2. main.c The source code of the utility. On Windows platform: 1. IB75N.h The header file of the APIs. 2.

5. void forceBypass(void) Force the port to become bypass state. 6. void setWdt4(void) Set the watchdog timer to 4 seconds. 7. void setWdt8(void) Set the watchdog timer to 8 seconds. 8. void setWdt16(void) Set the watchdog timer to 16 seconds. 9.
FAQ There are 2 kinds of SATA modes --- AHCI & legacy IDE mode. When you use the Linux, We strongly suggest to use AHCI mode. For legacy IDE mode, we found some SATA HDD could have compatibility issue. Please confirm the BIOS setting is correct, thank you. Does my system support Windows 8? The system is designed and verified with Windows 7, Fedora 14 and Ubuntu 10. But, we did not verify this system with Windows 8. Please check with Acrosser local sales rep.
(reference only) Ensure the Network Connections/Local Area Connection is enabled (right click and choose “Enable”). If the problem persists, please turn off firewall and anti-virus S/W. If the problem still exists, please contact local FAE or service center for tests. (reference only) If the Network Connections/Local Area Connection is showed “limited connection” (yellow exclamation mark), please disable and enable your connection to fix this problem.
