Comtrol DeviceMaster Scripted Installer Jason Jorgensen Version 2.2 1. Introduction 2. Usage 3. Copyright ----------------------------------------- 1. Introduction This script can install multiple DeviceMasters into Windows 2000/XP/2003. DeviceMaster Scripted Installer was created because installed multiple DeviceMasters with many serial ports is a pain in the ass. Also myself and a few others in the Comtrol forums would like to be able to install the DeviceMasters in an automated fashion. This package automates the process of installation as recommended by Comtrol from a GUI or commandline. The scripted installer has 2 modes of operation. 1) Devices: Install devices that are not configured. Basically after you do this you need to configure the driver from the DeviceManager. 2) Profiles: Install devices and configure their drivers from settings stored in the DeviceMasterInstaller.ini file. This is very handy if you have multiple units and many settings per unit. All the info for all your devices can be stored in the .ini file simplifying installation. This scripted installer was created with a wonderful program called Autoit v3 The latest version of DeviceMaster Scripted Installer is available at http://www.innominatus.com ----------------------------------------- 2. Usage The driver itself is embedded in this installers .exe file for ease of use. GUI Operation: - Optionally setup the DeviceMasterInstaller.ini file based on the example with the information for your devices. - Run the .exe. A simple GUI will walk you through installation. Commandline Installation: Examples: "DeviceMasterInstaller.exe /?" to get a list of its options. "DeviceMasterInstaller.exe -install 4 2" is an example that would install 2 DeviceMaster 1ports, without mac or ip info. "DeviceMasterInstaller.exe -iniinstall test.ini PheonixDM1" is an example that would install profile PheonixDM1 from the test.ini including mac and ip info. YOU WILL NEED TO REBOOT AFTER AN INI INSTALL BEFORE THE DEVICE WILL FUNCTION! Check the DeviceMasterInstaller.ini and example.bat for more information and examples. ----------------------------------------- 3.
