INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLING CARDS WITH
WINDOWS NT 4.0 SMALL BUSINESS SERVER
(LavaPort example)

Question:

I am installing the LavaPort 650 PCI/ISA into
a Windows NT4.0 Small Business Server.  
I have tried everything and the card refuses to
install. What can I do?

Answer:

There are security issues with Windows NT Small
Business Server that refuses to let the
LavaPort 650 driver start up. These drivers need
to be updated to reflect this. What is necessary
is the installation of our older drivers that
enable us to install regardless of the security
in the Winnt registry. The following are the
necessary steps.

Download the LavaPort PnP driver.
The driver for the LavaPort PnP is found in Tech
Support Drivers located on www.lavalink.com.

Uninstall our old driver

1) Remove the following files from your hard drive:

   detectlava.sys and seriallava.sys from
   winnt.sbs\system32\drivers

   lavaport.cpl from
   winnt.sbs\system32\

2)Clean registry
Use Regedt32 because regedit doesn't let you
change security priveleges.

Go to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root

Change Security Priveleges to Full Access for
LEGACY_DETECTLAVA and LEGACY_SERIALLAVA 
by going to the Security Menu and then Permissions
and set Type of Access to Full Control 
while each folder and subfolder is highlighted.

After this is done remove LEGACY_DETECTLAVA
and LEGACY_SERIALLAVA

Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services

Remove DetectLava and SerialLava Folders.  
You do not have to change security priveleges for
these folders because they are already set at Full
Control.

3)

  a) unzip the file you downloaded (preferably to a
  floppy disk because the copy command reflects that).

  b) Make a DOS boot disk.

  c) Copy lavaconf.exe to that boot disk.

4) Shut down and boot from the DOS boot disk you created.

5) Run lavaconf from that boot disk and write down
the I/O addresses and IRQ reported by lavaconf.

6) Boot into NT and create an install.bat file so
that all the folders are correct:

   *** copy command should reflect where
      you have the files located.***

copy a:\NT4.0\*.sys c:\winnt.sbs\system32\drivers
copy a:\NT4.0\*.cpl c:\winnt.sbs\system32
c:
cd \winnt.sbs\system32
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL Link650.cpl

7) Go to Control Panel Ports and add click add
Make sure that you modify the I/O address and
IRQ so that they match what you have written down
in step 5 above. Our I/O addresses will not be found
in the drop down list so you have to type them in manually.

DON'T RESTART WHEN IT PROMPTS YOU TO!!

8) Run the install.bat

9) Go to Control Panel and LavaLink650 Ports
and go to settings and then advanced for 
the each of the ports that you have added
and modify the UART type to Link-650.

REBOOT ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE MODIFIED THE SECOND PORT!!

10) When you get back into NT go back to Control Panel
Lava Link 650 ports and you should have two fully
functional Lava Link650 ports!!!
