==========================================================================
[2] Installation (Windows 95/98)
==========================================================================

    In case of HSSB multi-connection, determine correspondence between nodes
    and connected CNCs.
    When two or more HSSB interface boards are used, each node is sequentially
    allotted from 0 to each board as follows.

     - When the ISA HSSB interface board and the PCI HSSB board are also
       installed, first, the nodes are allotted to the ISA HSSB interface
       board, then, the nodes are allotted to the PCI HSSB interface board.

     - When two or more PCI HSSB interface boards are installed, the nodes are
       allotted first from the PCI HSSB interface board inserted in lower PCI
       slot number.

    Next, do the following according to the kind of the HSSB interface board.
     - For the ISA HSSB interface board
       Decide the I/O port address to be allocated on the HSSB board and
       set the rotary switch on the HSSB board. (In case of PC integrated type
       i-series, Intelligent Terminal type 2 which do not have the ISA
       extension unit, I/O port address is fixed at 280H-28BH.)

     - For the PCI HSSB interface board
       Nothing need to be done. (The I/O port address is automatically set
       by the HSSB driver. FANUC PANEL i and CNC Display Unit with Personal
       Computer Function are also included in this case.)


    To install the HSSB driver to your system, use "Update Device Driver
    Wizard" or "Add New Hardware Wizard".

    There are following two methods of installation procedures for the driver.

==========================================================================
[3] Installation (Windows NT)
==========================================================================

 (Note) The FS300i/310i/320i is not supported by the HSSB driver for
        Windows NT.

    In case of HSSB multi-connection, determine the kind  of the HSSB
    interface board (ISA/PCI) used by each node and correspondence between
    nodes and connected CNCs.
    Next, do the following according to the kind of the HSSB interface board.

     - For the ISA HSSB interface board
       Decide the I/O port address to be allocated on the HSSB board and

       i-series, Intelligent Terminal type 2 which do not have the ISA
       extension unit, I/O port address is fixed at 280H-28BH.)

     - For the PCI HSSB interface board
       Nothing need to be done. (The I/O port address is automatically set
       by the HSSB driver. FANUC PANEL i and CNC Display Unit with Personal
       Computer Function are also included in this case.)

    When two or more PCI HSSB interface boards are installed, the nodes are
    allotted first from the PCI HSSB interface board inserted in lower PCI
    slot number.


    To install the HSSB driver to your system, use the Windows NT Explorer.
    The installation procedure of the driver is as follows.

 7. Select the node number that you want to attach the HSSB board and click
    [Setting...] button.

 8. Enter proper name which indicates the machine connected to the HSSB board
    (for example, "FS160 - No.1", "Milling Machine") to [Node name] within 19
    characters.

 9. Select CNC type from the [CNC Type] list box.

10. Select I/O port address according to the kind of the HSSB board.
     - For the ISA HSSB interface board
       Select I/O port address that correspond to the rotary switch on
       the HSSB board, from the [I/O Port Address] list box.

     - For the PCI HSSB interface board
       Select the [Use PCI] from the [I/O Port Address] list box.
       (The I/O port address is automatically set by the driver.)

11. Click [OK] button to close this window.

12. In case of multiple HSSB connection, go back to step 7. and repeat these
    steps for each HSSB board.

    If a node is not attached to HSSB board, select "Disable" from the
    [I/O Port Address] list box.

    After driver installation, I/O port address is set to 0x280 for node-0,
    "Disable" for other nodes as default value.

13. Click [Close] button.
        A dialogue window which asks you to restart Windows, will open.

14. Click [YES] button to restart Windows NT.


 (Note) To change HSSB driver setting, you must have the Administrator
