INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLING A VIDEO CAM
ON A PCI PARALLEL PORT

Question:
I have a Lava Parallel PCI card and I am trying
to attach a Video Cam device. What should I do to
get it to install?

Answer:
Video Cam devices cannot install on the initial
address range that the Lava Parallel PCI is 
assigned to. When attached to the Lava Parallel
PCI a video cam can install on one the
following three IO address ranges.

  0378 - 037F
  0278 - 027F
  0288 - 028F

It is necesary to verify which IO address
your OnBoard parallel port is assigned to
before changing the Lava Parallel PCI's
address range. If the OnBoard parallel port
is set to 0378 - 037F (default setting) then
the Lava Parallel PCI must set to 0278 - 027F
or 0288 - 028F. Do this with the following method:

1) Go to Start|Settings|Control Panel|System.
Click the Device Manager tab.

2) Enter the Properties then Resources for
the Lava Parallel PCI.

3) Uncheck Use Automatic Settings and double-click
the word Output in the Input/Output Range and
enter the address range you have chosen for the
Lava parallel PCI.

4) Click Ok and then Ok again and reboot Windows.

5) Run the setup program provided by the Video Cam
and it should find it and configure the camera
appropriately. If the Video Cam installation
software has already been installed it may be
necessary to uninstall it first so it can re-detect
the port it is attached to.


KNOWN ISSUES WITH LAVA PARALLEL PCI AND THE 278 ADDRESS RANGE

Sometimes when switching the Lava Parallel PCI to 0278 - 027F
it conflicts with some video cams. If this occurs try using 
the 0288 - 028F address range.

If that does not work then it is necessary to reinstall the
OnBoard Parallel Port as the 3bc port and modify the Lava
PCI parallel port as the 0378 - 037F port.

Do this as follows:

a) Go to the Lava Parallel PCI in Device Manager. Go to Resources
and recheck Automatic Settings. Click OK and then click refresh.

b) Remove the Lava Parallel PCI from Device Manager and the LPT1.

c) Shut Down your computer and reboot.

d) As you are booting up enter your CMOS setup by hitting F1 or
DEL or the appropriate key for your motherboard.

e) Enter the menu for configuring your OnBoard parallel to 3bc
address.

f) save this new setting and exit.
NOTE: Consult your motherboard manual for steps d), e), and f).

g) Boot into Windows let the ports reinstall.

h) Reconfigure the Lava Parallel PCI to 0378-037F by going
to the Resources tab. Uncheck Use Automatic Settings and then
double-click Input/Output Range.
