Chapter 2 Installation Guide

2.1 Hardware Installation

1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the Adapter.

2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on your computer. Because the

Adapter gets its power from the host, there is no external power supply. The LED should light

up when the Adapter is plugged in and the PC is on.

2.2 Software Installation

2.2.1 Overview

For Windows 7, the driver will be searched and installed automatically after you finish hardware

installation.

For Windows 2000/ XP/ Vista, the Adapter’s Setup Wizard will guide you through the installation

of the Utility and drivers. Before you install the software, please connect the USB adapter with

your computer by USB cable. After that, you will be prompted “Found New Hardware Wizard”,

click the Cancel button, and run the Setup Wizard program on the CD-ROM.

The Setup steps for Windows 2000/ XP/ Vista are very similar, so the following installation guide

takes Windows XP for example.
