eHome IR Transceiver

Server 2008 R2 Workstation , , , , , , Add Comment (7)

By default you can’t use the Microsoft eHome IR Transceiver in Windows Server 2008 R2, but using this page you ‘ll install drivers to get the hardware working. These drivers were extracted from the Windows 7 x64 RTM MSDN dvd.

1. Download eHome.zip (296 KB) from win2008r2workstation.

2. After downloading the zip extract the zip, run install.cmd as an Administrator and follow the instructions on the screen.
Extract eHome.zip and run install.cmd

3. Install the drivers via the Device Manager using step 2 – 5 at the Drivers page.

    This works for me getting the receiver working (on 2008 R2) but not the transceiver – any ideas?

    After you update the receiver driver you need to go back to the device manager and update the transceiver driver (it will show up as unknown device)

    Works perfectly – thank you so much for the effort :)

    Anyone know how to revert back to signed certs, and get rid of the “Test Mode” watermark??

  • Phil Said on February 3rd, 2010 at 11:59 pm:

    If anyone is interested. I found a tool to get rid of the “Test Mode” watermark created when unsigned certificates are enabled. http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo

    The software also enables and disables unsigned/signed certificates.

    if you have a problem removing the water mark, check this site as well: http://deepxw.blogspot.com/2008/12/remove-watermark-v03-build-20081210.html

    Arris: Thanks Phil! :) I might add it to the manual when I have some time.
