INSTALLATION NOTES FOR LAVAPORT PCI PRODUCTS UNDER NT4.0:


STEP 1 BIOS (CMOS SETTINGS)

a) Shut down the Computer and enter your BIOS (CMOS) setup.  Ensure that PnP OS installed is set to NO or DISABLED.  
b) Reserve IRQs you have chosen for jumpered cards to Legacy ISA. This will eliminate any possibility of conflicts being created with those devices. Make sure that there is an IRQ available for our card.
Do this in the following manner:
Enter PNP CONFIGURATION SETUP.
Change RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY from AUTO to MANUAL.
Scroll down to the IRQ assigned to our card and change that IRQ from PCI/ISA PnP to Legacy ISA to make it unavailable for our card. If all the IRQs are made unavailable then the LavaPort PCI product will not install.
The previous method applies to an Award BIOS version 4.51 PG. Consult your motherboard manual to find similar settings changes and how to enter your BIOS setup.
 
STEP 2 INSTALLING CARD:

a) With the power off place the Lava Parallel PCI into a PCI slot.
Ensure that the slot is not a shared PCI/ISA slot.  Consult your mother board to verify that the slot is not a shared PCI/ISA slot
b) Power up the computer and boot into Windows NT4.0 and log on as Administrator.
c) Run the setup.exe located on the NT4.0 directory on the floppy.
d) After setup has completed and the system has rebooted verify that the LavaPort has installed properly by going to Start Settings Control Panel and entering the LavaPort Control Panel Applet.

STEP3 
(A) ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT (FOR LAVA PARALLEL PCI PORTS ONLY)
To change the address assignment for the Lava Parallel PCI go to Start Settings Control Panel and Double Click the LavaPort Icon.
The LavaPort Control Panel Applet will appear and the Lava Parallel Port(s) will appear under the Lava Parallel Ports Tree.
The Lava Parallel PCI allows for manual Address Assignments.  There are two manual addresses available: 0378 and 0278.
To change the address then hilight the port you wish to change and click  Properties.  In the drop down list for Base I/O Port Address you will have a choice of Default (PCI bus assigned address), 0378 or 0278.
If you are installing a printer to the Lava Parallel PCI choose the PCI Bus assigned address.  
If you are installing a non-printer peripheral such as a scanner or external drive then choose either 0278 or 0378 . Ensure that you do not assign the Lava Parallel PCI to an address used by your onboard parallel port. To find out where your OnBoard Parallel Port is installed go to Start - Programs - Adminstrative Tools - Windows NT Diagnostics.  Enter the Resources Tab and then click the Devices button to the bottom right.  In the list of Devices that appear, double click the ParPort device.  The IO address associated with the ISA bus is the OnBoard Parallel Port Address.
	
(B) COM ASSIGNMENTS (LAVA SERIAL PORTS ONLY)
To change the COM assignments of the Lava Serial is very simple.
Go to Control Panel LavaPorts.
Enter Lava Communication Ports and Double Click the port for which you wish to modify 
the COM port assignment.
Enter the Resources Tab and choose the appropriate COM port assignment you wish
 for the port changing the COM PORT Number from the drop down list.
You can change the COM port assignment of any Communication port on your system
 using our appelet

NOTE:
After changing the Com Port number you will have Event Viewer Messages and Errors.

You will receive an informational message from SerialLava with an Event ID of 3
stating:
User configuration data for parameter COM5 overriding firmware configuration data. 

You will also receive an error (Stop)  message from SerialLava with an Event ID of 29
stating:
The control registers for COM5 overlaps with the COM3 control registers. 

These messages do not report any problems only that the old COM port assignment does not exist anymore and has been replaced by the new one.  The port will still 
function properly.



TROUBLESHOOTING 

The LavaPort drivers will show messages in the Event Viewer regarding success or failure.  If you are having trouble with the LavaPort go to Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - Event Viewer.  Ensure that the System Log is enabled from the Log Menu.  Write down any messages reported by the following services:
DetectLava,
SerialLava,
Serial,
and,
ParPort

Use of the LavaPort Control Applet:

USE OF LAVA CONTROL PANEL APPLET
1. The LavaPort Control Applet was written in a "Plug and Play" manner.  It will attempt to install your card and attempt to show you any conflicts.
2. Information from LavaPort Control Applet installation is written to the System Log.  Please refer here for more detailed information.
3. "Lava strongly recommends the use of the LavaPort Control Applet for use with your LavaPort-PCI product, for both installation and to make user-defined settings changes."
4. By clicking in Control Panel - LavaPorts you will find information  on your LavaPort-PCI product.  Double click it and you will see one of these possibilities:
* Just the icon, indicates NO CONFLICTS.
* Red "X" through the icon, indicates the hardware has been disabled.  This can happen if you override the standard Com settings.  Accessing the System Log will indicate the overlap in the Com Registers.
* Blue "!" exclamation point, indicates a System Conflict.
* Yellow "?" question mark, indicates a card not enumerated by the System (the conflict is unresolved).
