Select the "Search for a suitable driver" option.
 
Step 3
Select only the "Specify a location" option.
 
Step 4
Browse to the Dialogic installation directory shown here.
 
Step 5
Press Next.

  • Reboot the PC

Install ISA Voice Card

Dialogic ISA voice cards have jumper switches for setting the hardware interrupt level (IRQ) and base memory address segment. When fitting these Dialogic voice cards, it is essential to choose a hardware interrupt level and base memory address segment that do not conflict with existing equipment installed in your PC.

How to check for un-allocated IRQ and memory on Windows NT:

How to check for un-allocated IRQ and memory on Windows 2000/XP:

Having identified suitable free IRQ and memory address, configure the card by setting the jumpers and switches located on the card. IRQ 5 is usually a good choice, the base memory address can usually be left at the default D000.
