2.1.2 Driver Installation of Non Plug-and-Play Capable CAN Modules

Note:

For ISA-/PC104-bus based CAN modules and the CAN-PCC the Windows NT drivers are

used. Please refer to chapter 2.6.2 for installation instruction.

2.1.2.1 CAN-PCC only: Stopping the System Driver for the Parallel Interface

The CAN-PCC-module is run via the parallel interface of the computer. The Windows 2000 driver

accesses this interface. To ensure that the CAN driver has got unrestricted access to the parallel port,

the Windows 2000 driver has to be stopped

before the CAN driver is started

This can be accomplished by two calls which are available after the installation. They can be reached

via

Programs/CAN

before

calling the CAN driver

Disable parallel port services (Windows 2000)

has to be called

and

the computer has to be rebooted

- if the parallel port is to be used for other matters (e.g. as print port), the CAN driver has to be

stopped first

and

Enable parallel port services (Windows 2000)

has to be called

and

then the

computer has to be rebooted

Note:

If starting the CAN driver has been changed in the Device Manager from ‘Manual’ to

‘Automatic’, this has to be re-changed, if the parallel port is to be used for other

applications again and not for the CAN driver anymore.
