Base Station and Configuration Cable to properly communicate with
DriveRight FMS.
Note: The following installation was completed on a Windows XP operating system. The pro-
cess may vary depending on operating system. The only way to find the correct drivers
for the Wireless Download System is to install or upgrade to FMS 3.8 first. The necessary
driver files are kept in the FTDI Drivers folder in the DriveRight Directory after the soft-
ware is installed.
1. Plug the Base Station or Configuration Cable into an available USB Port.
A Found New Hardware dialog box should display
If the dialog box does not display, check the connection between the hard-
ware and your computer, or see your operating system’s documentation for
more information. If the dialog box still does not display, contact Davis
Technical Support for help with this problem.
2. Click the No, not this time field and click Next.
Note: It is important that you do not allow your operating system to automatically check the web
for drivers because it could install versions of drivers that may have compatibility issues
with the accessory or FMS.
