Time Domain Port Devices Driver Download For Windows



In addition to our resident DOS/Windows driver (see above), there is a driver for Windows 9x/ME available that supports time synchronization over a serial interface. The driver package for Windows 9x can be used with all external radio clocks which are attached to a serial port of the computer (COM port) and transmit the Meinberg standard time. Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC. Application software can access the USB device in the This page contains the VCP drivers currently available for FTDI devices. For D2XX Direct drivers, please click here. In most cases an Ethernet port that is configured as an EtherCAT device will not transport general IP packets. For this reason and in cases where an EL6601 or similar devices are used it is useful to specify a fixed IP address for this port via the “Internet Protocol TCP/IP” driver setting and to disable DHCP. Install the MTP USB Device Driver Press and hold the Windows key and press R. In the run dialogue box that opens, type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter. This will open the device manager. Alternatively, you can also press the Windows key and type Device manager to search for it. Expand Portable devices and find your device.

Registry settings for configuring USB driver stack behavior

The registry entries described in this topic are found under this key:

In the vvvvpppprrrrr key,

  • vvvv is a 4-digit hexadecimal number that identifies the vendor
  • pppp is a 4-digit hexadecimal number that identifies the product
  • rrrr is a 4-digit hexadecimal number that contains the revision number of the device.

The vendor ID, product ID, and revision number values are obtained from the USB device descriptor.The following table describes the possible registry entries for the vvvvpppprrrrr key. The USB driver stack considers these entries as read-only values.

Registry entryDescriptionPossible values

osvc

REG_BINARY

Supported on Windows XP and later versions.

Indicates whether the operating system queried the device for Microsoft-Defined USB Descriptors. If the previously-attempted OS descriptor query was successful, the value contains the vendor code from the OS string descriptor.

  • 0x0000: The device did not provide a valid response to the Microsoft OS string descriptor request.

  • 0x01xx: The device provided a valid response to the Microsoft OS string descriptor request, where xx is the bVendorCode contained in the response.

IgnoreHWSerNum

REG_BINARY

Supported on Windows Vista and later versions.

Indicates whether the USB driver stack must ignore the serial number of the device.

  • 0x00: The setting is disabled.

  • 0x01: Forces the USB driver stack to ignore the serial number of the device. Therefore, the device instance is tied to the port to which the device is attached.

ResetOnResume

REG_BINARY

Supported on Windows Vista and later versions.

Indicates whether the USB driver stack must reset the device when the port resumes from a sleep cycle.

  • 0x0000: The setting is disabled.

Summary

Point and Print reduces administrative overhead, and simplifies and automates printing. Point and Print functionality was introduced in Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition (as a client), and Microsoft Windows NT 3.5 and later.
When you connect to a printer on a print server, the connecting client looks for the appropriate drivers on the print server. If the drivers are installed on the server, the drivers are automatically downloaded and configured for the client. However, if the drivers are not present, you are prompted to select and install the drivers.

More Information

This article describes the results of improperly configured or incompatible Point and Print situations, and provides solutions to those situations.
When you attempt to connect a Windows-based network client to a print server, you may receive the following error message:

The server on which the device name printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to install the driver on your local computer, click OK.

This error message can be displayed in any of the following situations:

  • When server message block (SMB) is connected to the print server.

  • When a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Winodws 98 Second Edition-based computer is running File and Print Sharing.

  • When an Alpha-based computer running Windows NT 4.0 Server connects to an x86-based client without an Alpha print driver.

  • When you connect to a printer using the new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and an appropriate driver is not installed on the Internet print server.

If you receive the error message in one of the situations described above, use the appropriate workaround.

SMB-connected print server

SMB print boxes let workstations on the network send print jobs directly to a print server without going through an intermediate personal computer or print server. This type of configuration does not support Point and Print.

Workaround

To work around this behavior, install the print driver locally and create a connection to the SMB print share:

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

  2. Double-click Add Printer, and then click Next.

  3. Click Local Printer, and then click Next.

  4. Click Create a new port.

  5. In the Type box, click Local Port, and then click Next.

  6. Type the SMB share name. For example:

    PrintServerSharename

  7. Continue the Wizard and install the appropriate driver for the device.

Computer running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition

You can share out print devices to other computers on the network in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition. These versions of Windows do not support alternate drivers like Windows NT does, so only these clients can connect in this Point and Print scenario.

Workaround

To work around this behavior, install the print driver locally and create a connection to the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition print share:

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

  2. Double-click Add Printer, and then click Next.

  3. Click Local Printer, and then click Next.

  4. Click Create a new port.

  5. In the Type box, click Local Port, and then click Next.

  6. Type the SMB share name. For example:

    PrintServerSharename

  7. Continue the wizard and install the appropriate driver for the device.

Windows NT 4.0 (non-x86 server, x86 client)

If your network contains a mixture of Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition-based, Alpha-based, and x86-based computers, you can install printer drivers for each one on each print server. Doing this ensures that documents originating from Windows NT or Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition clients running on any of the hardware types can use all print devices. During Point and Print, Windows NT clients call the application programming interface (API) GetPrinterDriver, and obtain information about the drivers that are installed on the server. If a suitable driver cannot be found, the error message is passed to the client.

Workaround

To work around this behavior, use the appropriate method.
Method 1 (administrators only): Configure non-x86-based servers for non-native drivers to accommodate all clients on the network. Use the following steps to install client drivers on a computer running Windows NT Server:

  1. From a x86-based client, browse the print server.

  2. Click the print folder, and then double-click Add Printer Wizard.

  3. Click the appropriate port, and either click the printer from the Model/Manufacturing list, or click Have Disk and type the path to an updated driver.

  4. After you finish the wizard, x86-based clients can download the driver automatically upon connection.

Method 2: Install the appropriate drivers on the client computer. If the driver is not available on the server, you can install the driver locally on your computer and redirect the output to the print server.

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

  2. Double-click Add Printer, and then click Next.

  3. Click Local Printer, and then click Next.

  4. Click Create a new port.

  5. In the Type box, click Local Port, and then click Next.

  6. Type the share name. For example:

    PrintServerSharename

  7. Continue the wizard and install the appropriate driver for the device.

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)

You can use IPP to print directly to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) over an intranet or the Internet. In addition, you can install a printer from the Internet or intranet using Microsoft Internet Explorer. The error message can occur when the IPP print server does not have a suitable driver installed.

Workaround

To work around this behavior, use the appropriate method.
Method 1 (administrators only): Install a compatible driver on the server.

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Print Folder.

  2. Double-click Add Printer, and then click Next.

  3. Click Local Printer, and then click Next.

  4. Click Create a new port.

  5. In the Type box, click Local Port, and then click Next.

  6. Type the share name. For example:

    PrintServerSharename

  7. Continue the wizard and install the appropriate driver for the device.

Method 2: Install a suitable driver on the client computer and redirect the printer to the appropriate IPP URL.

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Printers.

  2. Double-click Add Printer, and then click Next.

  3. Click Local Printer, and then click Next.

  4. Click Create a new port.

  5. In the Type box, click Standard Port Monitor, and then click Next.

  6. Type the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the IPP print server.

  7. Continue the Add Printer wizard and install the appropriate driver.
