How to Enable/Disable N_Port Support
To Enable N_Port Support
CAUTION Use extreme care when making changes to the Windows NT registry.
Improper changes can cause the system to become unbootable. It is
strongly recommended to backup your existing registry before making
changes. For information regarding the registry, review the help topics in
>regedit.exe<.
By default, the driver has N_Port support disabled. To set driver
parameters in the Window NT
 registry:
1. Select the [
Start] button from Windows NT 4.0.
2. Type [regedt32] and select [
ENTER].
3. Open the registry at the following location:
>\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\
Services\HHBA5100\Parameters|Device\DriverParameter<
If the \Parameters\Device\DriverParameter key already exists,
double-click on
[DriverParameter] and append the text
[InitAsNport=1] to the key’s value, then exit the registry editor. If
the keys do not exist, you need to create them by proceeding to step 4.
4. Using the
Edit pull-down menu, select [Add Key].
5. Type [Parameters] as the name of this key, and then select
[ENTER].
6. Select the
[Parameters Key].
7. Using the
Edit pull-down menu, select [Add Key].
8. Type
[Device] as the name of this key, and select [ENTER]. The driver
settings apply to all HHBA51xx adapters that HHBA5100.SYS
supports.

[Device Key].
