host_bus_location
| Parameter | host_bus_location |
|---|
| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | Establish connection between virtual DEFPA PCI FDDI adapter and physical DEFPA PCI FDDI adapter installed on CHARON host (pass through mode) Syntax: load defpa <controller name> host_bus_location="PCI bus X, device Y, function Z" |

Installation of DEFPA PCI FDDI adapter
- Install the DEFPA PCI FDDI adapter to some spare PCI slot of the host system
- Boot a Windows operating system
- Open “Computer Management”
- Select “Device Manager”
- In the right window select the desired physical FDDI adapter connected to the system, right-click the mouse button, and the corresponding menu will appear.
- From the menu select “Update driver…”. Windows will show “Hardware Upgrade Wizard”
- Select “No, not this time”, click “Next”
- Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)”, click “Next”
- Select “Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install”, click “Next”
- Click “Have Disk…”. Windows shows dialog “Install From Disk”
- Instead of “A:\”, click “Browse” and select path to the folder in which driver’s INF file is located (typically "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Drivers\DEFPA_X.X.0.XXXXX"), select “defpa_ppt_amd64.inf”, and click “Open”
- The “Hardware Upgrade Wizard” should have “CHARON DEFPA FDDI adapter”. Select it, and click “Next”
