To Exclude Serenum As An Upper Filter:
======================================

Rename the file GENPORT_NO_SERENUM.INF found in the ADVANCED subdirectory
to GENPORT.INF. Then replace the GENPORT.INF file that is in the root directory 
where the files from this installation package were extracted to, the default 
is C:\TEMP, with the newly renamed GENPORT.INF that is in this ADVANCED subdirectory. 
This version that is in the ADVANCED directory does not include Serenum as an upper 
filter for the USB Serial Ports, therefore only do this if you are certain that 
you do not want Serenum as an upper filter for your USB Serial Ports.


Unattended Installations:
=========================

If you do not want to be presented with the "Found New Hardware Wizard" 
prompting you to specify the location of the USB Serial Port drivers during 
the installation, then you can perform an Unattended Installation.
These procedures are only necessary for first time installations where
you do not want to go through the "Found New Hardware Wizard". If you have
installed USB Serial Ports on your system before, then these steps are 
unnecessary. The following steps are for setting up an Unattended Installation.

1. Disable the Driver-Signature warning. This suppresses the warning messages
   that appear when installing a driver that has not received Microsoft's
   Designed for Windows 2000/Windows XP digital signature. To disable this 
   feature, open the System Properties panel, and click the Hardware tab.
   In the Device Manager section, click the Driver Signing button and a new
   Driver Signing Options panel appears. In the File Signature Verification
   section select the Ignore option button, Apply settings as system default
   and click OK.   

2. Set the SourcePath registry variable. The SourcePath is a string variable 
   that specifies the default directory for locating installation files. 
   Using REGEDIT.EXE or any other registry editor, change this value to the 
   name of the directory that you have chosen to extract this installation 
   package. This needs to be the same directory where the .CAB Cabinet file 
   resides. The SourcePath variable is found in the following registry key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

3. Setup files for unattended installation. Copy GENEDGE.INF and GENPORT.INF
   files from this installation package into your WINNT\INF directory. 
   Make sure that the .CAB file is in the same directory that you specified in 
   the SourcePath registry variable in step 2.

4. Connect the new USB Serial Port adapter to be installed, and it will install 
   itself and enumerate its COM ports without prompting the user for input.
