I-Opener LED's on Windows XP
Re-collection of information about controlling the I-Opener LED's on Windows NT, 2000, and XP.

I have been reading this board since I-Opener V1. I have two V1's and a V5. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this board.

Recently, I have been working on converting my V5 I-Opener to a K6-2+. I currently have it working like a champ at 350MHz with 256MB of RAM, 6GB hard drive and Windows XP. Many thanks to Badflash for the parts I bought from him and the valuable information that he and others have provided.

This I-Opener will be used by my mother for general computing, e-mail, and web surfing. Which brings me to the subject of this thread...

The program(s) to control the I-Opener LED's under WindowsNT seem to have vanished into thin air. Namely, I cant seem to find iolednt.exe anywhere. If someone has it, please post a link. I am guessing that this same program will work with XP?

Another reason I created this tread is to discuss the best way so seamlesly integrate the LED's into the operating system so they operate as they were intended. Since this I-Opener is going to be used by my Mother (who used the actual I-Opener ISP in the past, before they went buns up) I would like the LED's to do exactly what they are intended to do.

I have done some reading about this and have found a reference to something called the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK). This is supposedly available from Microsoft and can be used to set up a "profile" for DUN connections. This includes being able to run programs before connecting and after connecting. Perfect for the "Off Hook" LED on the I-Opener. I can't find a copy of CMAK on microsoft.com. Is it part of another package? Any help here would be appreciated.

Also, it appears that CheckPOP from n-systems has been withdrawn. Can anyone suggest another solution for this?

Kind of off the topic but I am trying to get Windows XP loaded on a V1, how do I do this? I formatted the drive into a FAT32 (only one available through XP) and put the system files on there, the IO wont read/load the disk. Thanks for help

I have a little more information about CMAK. It is supposed to be part of the Internet Explorer Admin Kit (IEAK) which is downloadable for free from Microsoft. Has anyone ever used the IEAK?

I still can't find iolednt.exe anywhere. All of the links on this board that point to it are broken. Anybody know where to get it?

I Found CMAK! And it works!

The CMAK does indeed allow you to run programs pre-dial and disconnect, as well as error and cancel.
This should work great for the I-Openers Off Hook LED (The one on the right). If I can get a copy of the programs that turn the LED's off and on for Windows XP I will build a script that will set all of this up for anyone that wants to use it. All you will have to do is install the connection manager package that I post.

I have tested this with .bat files that echo to the screen and it seems to work fine. Can anyone help put the final piece of the puzzle in place by posting an exe that will turn the LED's off and on?

How well does an IO handle XP? I've never installed it on anything under 1ghz.

XP will load with 200 mhz and 64 meg.
I have a desktop rinning 366 mhz and 128 meg , it's kinda slow but works ok.
My experence with XP on my V3 IO , I could not boot over 300 mhz. So I went
bact to W98se and boot at 400 mhz.
I have XP on my 1 ghz 256 meg Duron and love it.

A source for 'stuff' : http://www.meci.com

They have (as of 10/15/02) the dual red/green led for doing the hdd light mod. (Dual color LED http://www.meci.com/default.asp?featured=true&partno=360-0553&mode=Search)
(HDD Mod: http://www.gweep.net/~prefect/eng/netappliance/ideled.html)

I don't know enough (read diddly squat) about electronics, but they also have .15 Ohm 25watt sand block resistors (pn 490-1206).

Badflash may be interested in stocking these if they're available at $.50 each. (Provided they do the job correctly.)

(I believe minimum order is $20. Lots of interesting stuff to sort through though.)

Has anyone reposted the windows led control apps?

Did you ever get the iolednt.exe file? I'd love to get a copy if you have.

After seeing this come up a few times before, I spent some time finding the relevant information and built a small app to control the LEDs.

Please see my new post in this group for details.
