USB Driver Installation

Purpose of the Technical Tip
The use of the USB-port on the FSP 3000 R7 NCU requires the installation of an
appropriate driver. This document describes the installation of this driver under
windows XP. If the PC is connected to the NCU the new hardware is discovered
automatically and the installation wizard will start the required routine for the
driver installation.
If the installation should be performed without an physical USB connection to
the NCU, refer to the Windows HELP how to achieve this task.


Driver Installation
ADVA Optical Networking AG distributes this driver as CP2101.zip.
Tools to unzip this file are available under http://www.winzip.com.
The driver should be extracted to a folder on your PC before the USB
connection is established to the NCU.
This Technical Tip assumes the driver in "C:\CP2101\WIN. To achieve this
result copy the CP2101.zip into the "c:\ directory and select the "Extract here
option available in WinZip

Follow the following procedure to install the driver:

wizard will start automatically.
