readme.txt Driver File Contents (R57047.EXE)

The PCTEL MDC NT4 driver can unattend install if the distribution server is configured properly.

In order to setup the PCTEL MDC NT4 Driver, the distribution server should be configured as follows:

Note: In this configuration, the distribution files are contained within a subdirectory labeled "I386". The "I386" directory is a subdirectory  of <Distribution Directory> off the main drive letter tree. The main distribution directory is shared. When the target system is started and  logs into the network, the main distribution directory is mapped to a drive letter on the target system. After the mapping, the target system  is changed to the mapped drive letter and then a "CD I386" command is issued. The installation process is then initiated


Example section from autoexec.bat of the target system startup disk.

a:\net initialize
a:\net start
net use z: <\\servername\<distribution> directory>
lock c:
z:
cd i386
winnt /u:unattend.txt /s:z:\i386



The driver files must be placed on the distribution server in order for them to be copied to the correct locations on the target system.


The following file must be copied from the \Unattend folder
Mdmchipv.inf and needs to be placed in  "<X>:\<Distribution Directory>\I386\$OEM$\$$\INF" where "X" is the server drive letter containing the  distribution files.


The following files must be copied from the \Unattend folder and placed in "<X>:\<Distribution Directory>\I386\$OEM$\$$\System32"

Mdmchipv.cat
Ntpower.exe
pctspk.exe
Pthsp.dat
Ptsetup.dll

The following files must be copied from the \Unattend folder and placed in "<X>:\<Distribution Directory>\I386\$OEM$\$$\System32\Drivers"

ptserial.sys
vmodem.sys
vpctcom.sys
vvoice.sys


The Oemsetup.inf and a copy of Mdmchipv.inf (from the \Unattend folder) can be placed in "<X>:\<Distribution Directory>\I386\Drvlib.nic\Modem"

The Oemsetup.inf creates the virtual com port which the main modem driver binds to in order to operate. In order for RAS services to install the main modem driver, the virtual com port driver must be loaded first. This is done by including the path to the Oemsetup.inf in the SelectedAdaptersSection and having it point to Com-2 as shown here:

[SelectedAdaptersSection]
;This path must be Explicit!!!!!!
com-2=OEMCardParameters, C:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386\Drvlib.nic\Modem\

In the distribution server this path can be adjusted as desired. However, the path in the unattend.txt file must be explicitly defined as  outlined by the section samples for an unattend.txt.


Example Section from Unattend.txt file

[DialoutSection]
PortName = COM2
DeviceType = Modem
PortUsage = DialOut

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
