  Full product consists of two devices: Alarit Bus Device Driver (fake
 like PCI or USB) and Alarit Virtual Serial Device Driver;

  Installing AlarIT Bus Device Driver under Windows XP

  * Press Start
  * Select Control Panel
  * Select Add Hardware
  * On wizard "Welcome" dialog press
  * Press "Next"
  * Check "Yes, I have already connected:"
  * Press "Next"
  * Select form list: "Add a new hardware device"
  * Press "Next"
  * Check "Install hardware that I manually select from list
   (Advanced)"
  * Press "Next"
  * Select from list: "System device"
  * Press "Next"
  * Check "Have Disk"
  * Using "Browse" button found location of file abusenum.inf
  * Press "Next"
  * Select "Alarit Bus Enumerator" in window "Hardware To install:"
  * Press "Next"
  * In "Hardware installed" dialog press "Finish"
  * If Windows ask to reboot computer, please ask yes.

  After installing AlarIT Bus Device Driver you can see it in device
 manager windows in system devices.

  To install AlarIT Virtual Serial Device Driver, run FakeSet -p X Z, to
 plugin devices, where X is device number, Z is model number. Device
 number must be more than 0 and less than 200 (in demo version device
 numebr can be only 1 or 2). You will need this number in future
 to connect to device together like null modem connection. Device
 number is not equal with COM port number. For all Virtual Serial Devices
 model number must be 5.
  For example, if you run FakeSet -p 1 5, windows will install
  AlarIT_Fake_Dev_5 in the Slot 1 of AlarIT Bus.
 After that windows finds new hardware with name "AlarIT_Fake_Dev_5" and
 starts "Add hardware wizard".
  * Check "Install from list or specific location (Advanced)"
  * Check "Include this location" and select location of fakeser.inf)
  * Press "Next"
  * In warning dialog press "Continue Anyway"
  * In "Hardware installed" dialog press "Finish"

 To install next device you must run FakeSet with another device number
 and repeat device installation procedure, but now you can select
 "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" in "Found new
 hardware" window.
 To connect to devices you must run FakeSet -g X Y, where X it's a
 source device, Y - destination device.

 Examples:

 If you want to connect TxD line of device #1 to RxD line of device #2
 you must run FakeSet -g 1 2.
 If you want to connect TxD line of device #1 to RxD line of device #2
 and TxD line of device #2 to RxD line of device #1 you must run FakeSet
 -g 1 2 and FakeSet -g 2 1.

 We recommend to use batch file to plug in and connect devices.

 To create 4 comports and connect com(x) with com(x+1) use plugin4.bat
 and connect4.bat. For 8 ports use plugin8.bat and connect8.bat. You can
 modify this batch files for quantity of ports, that you need.
 After every reboot you must plug in devices (hardware wizard will not
 start) and connect it. Between plug in and connecting you must make
 some pause (about 3 seconds), because process of initialization of
 device driver takes some time.
