2ND-GENERATION PROSLIC^® GUI USER’S GUIDE
1. Introduction
The 2nd-Generation ProSLIC^® Graphical User Interface (GUI) software uses the USB port or the parallel port of a
PC to communicate with the ProSLIC. Either the USB-capable Voice motherboard (VMB) or an older parallel port
ProSLIC motherboard may be used with the software. The Voice motherboard accesses the ProSLIC's SPI and
PCM ports, while the ProSLIC motherboard only accesses the SPI port. This document applies to Rev 0.98 of the
software. The program runs on Windows 98/NT/2000/XP. Invoking the 2nd-Generation ProSLIC GUI causes the
Voice motherboard to be initialized (if it is connected) and the ProSLIC to be taken out of reset.
2. Installation
To install the 2nd-Generation ProSLIC GUI, run setup.exe. If a previous installation of the software is detected,
running setup.exe uninstalls the old version, and it is necessary to run setup.exe again. When setup installation is
complete, installation instructions for the USB driver for the Voice motherboard are displayed. At this point, connect
the USB cable from the PC to the Voice motherboard. If prompted to install a driver, direct Windows to use the
directory specified in the instructions displayed at the end of the installation in:
C:\Program Files\Silicon Laboratories\VMB Driver\
If you are not prompted to install the USB driver, it is recommended that you uninstall the old driver and install the
driver provided with the software.
2.1. Reinstall USB Driver
To uninstall the USB driver, go to Start->Control Panel, and double-click on “System”. Go to the “Hardware” tab as
shown in Figure 1.
