[. . . ] 1 Portman PC/P TM MANUAL Version PCP051199 Table of Contents FCC Class B and European CE Compliance . 8 First-Time Windows 3. 1 Driver Installation . 19 FCC Class B and European CE Compliance The PORTMAN PC/P complies with Class B, Part 15 of the FCC rules. The PORTMAN PC/P FCC identification number is: IMJPORTPCP2 WARNING: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a CLASS B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. [. . . ] If none of those exist, then the driver is not installed --If one or more of the PORTMAN PC/P entries exist, highlight each item, click Properties, then click "Remove. " In Window 3. 1, just highlight and select "Remove" for each. In order for Windows to completely remove the driver(s), you will be required to exit and restart Windows. After exiting and restarting Windows, follow the FIRST-TIME WINDOWS DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE to install the updated PORTMAN PC/P driver. MIDI Application Set-up Examples Once the Windows driver for the PORTMAN has been installed, you will need to configure your MIDI applications to take advantage of the PORTMAN drivers. The manner in which each application does this is different, so it is impossible to go over all possible scenarios here. However, most Windows MIDI applications have a configuration or settings dialog box (sometimes called "MIDI Devices") that allows you to select the MIDI Input and Output ports the program will be communicating with. If your PORTMAN drivers are properly installed, you should see them listed in this dialog box. 10 Cakewalk for Windows (Version 1. 0 and Later) As an example of how to select the PORTMAN for operation within a MIDI application, consider Cakewalk for Windows. Under the "Settings" Menu in Cakewalk (or "Tools" in later versions), select MIDI Devices. A "Midiman PORTMAN PC/P" entry should be available under both Input Devices and Output Devices (unless you've chosen a custom name in the PORTMAN Driver Advanced setup dialog). Select (highlight) PORTMAN PC/P under each Input and Output. (For Output, you may also want to press the <move selected devices to top> button. ) Then press the <OK> button. Once the MIDI Device is set to the PORTMAN PC/P, the PORTMAN interface becomes available as a selectable port in the Track/Measure window of each and every track. Advanced Driver Settings Pressing the "Advanced" button in the MIDI Interface Setup dialog box will open the Advanced Setup that allows access to advanced driver features. Most users don't need to be concerned with this dialog, but others may want or need to customize their driver setup-- this is the place to do it. Go to Control Panel, then Multimedia/Devices (in Win98) or Advanced (Win95). Open the MIDI Devices and Instruments list, highlight the driver, then click Properties. From the Driver Properties box, click Settings, then click Advanced. In Windows 3. 1, go to Control Panel/Drivers/highlight driver and click Setup. Custom "User-Defined Driver Names" may be declared in this dialog. The driver name you choose is the name of the driver as it appears in all Windows MIDI applications (it is the name that you select when you setup your MIDI application's MIDI In and MIDI Out ports). "Extra Pulse Width" may be added if your computer is acting erratically with the PORTMAN. Due to the variance in computer designs, some computers may access their Parallel Ports in a manner that is too fast for the PORTMAN. In these cases, the "Extra Pulse Width" should be manually set between 0 and 250. This will not adversely affect your MIDI performance. [. . . ] In order to check if the PORTMAN is causing the problem, remove the PORTMAN MIDI driver from your Multimedia drivers or Control Panel-Driver applet. After rebooting Windows without the PORTMAN driver installed, check to see if the program still fails in the same way. If it still fails, contact the manufacturer of your MIDI program. Otherwise, check you PORTMAN driver setup to make sure the Port Address, IRQ, and Extra Pulse Width settings are correct. DOS SYMPTOM: My PORTMAN works fine with my Windows MIDI programs, but it isn't found by my DOS MIDI programs. [. . . ]
