Before installing a new version of the PPU (Power Packet
Utility) ,you must manually remove the previously installed version
of the PPU using the Microsoft Windows Add or Remove
Programs application.
1.PleasedownloadsPowerlineadapternetworksoftwarethrough
http://www.belzon.cn/
www.belzon.cn

2.Afteryourdownloads,youwouldfindthesoftwarelikethis:
Run the Installer.bat file located in the root folder of PPU Installation
CD and follow the installation wizard through the installation process.
On workstations running Microsoft Window 7 operating systems,the
security configuration settings require the user to have Administer
privileges to install the PPU.Security settings such as"User Account
Control(UAC)" may result in Windows authorization messages
displaying during the installation process. If you are prompted for
an administrator password or confirmation,type the passwordor
provide confirmation.It is recommended to run the installer by
clicking on Installer.bat file rather than 'Just Me' while installing as
standard user.
The PPU installer will display an installation warning message if it
discovers that a version of the PPU is already installed on the
workstation.
However,if the same version of the PPU has already been
installed,the Installer will not display the above dialogue and it will
not be necessary to manually remove the previous PPU
www.belzon.cn

installation.Instead,the installer will display a 'repair' or 'remove'
dialogue.The repair option re-installs the PPU software at the
previously installed folder location.The remove option uninstalls the
PPU software.
To runthePPUapplication,Microsoft.NETFramwork1.1or2.0is
neededbutnotenforcedduringinstallationtime.ThePPU
applicationalsorequirestheWinPcapSoftwareproductavailable
fromCACETechnologiestobeinstalled.Formoreinformationabout
WinPcapsoftwarerefertohttp://www.winpcap.orgPleasereadand
accepttheWinPcapLicenseagreement.Forlaterreference,the
WinPcaplicenseagreementanditscopyrightnoticescanalsobe
foundonthePPUapplication"about"menu. If the WinPcap software
has not been installed on the workstation,the PPU installer will
launch the WinPcap installer that is included on the PPU installation
CD.If the WinPcap installer detects that an old version of WinPcap is
installed on the workstation,the installer will request the removal the
old WinPcap version before installing the newer WinPcap software.

www.belzon.cn

AftertheWinPcapsoftwarehasbeeninstalledonthe
workstation,thePowerPacketUtilitySetupWizardwillbe
automaticallyinvoked.
www.belzon.cn

TheuserwillbepresentedwiththeQualcommAtherosEndUser

Software.Ifthe'IAgree'optionisselectedtheinstallerwillcontinueto
the"SelectInstallationFolder"dialogue.
www.belzon.cn

The default location is C:\Program Files\Qualcomm Atheros\Power
Packet Utility.If the PPU is being installed by the Admin User,the
PPU installer will create the shortcut to the PPU application on the
desktop of Admin User.If you want to create the short cut on the
desktop for all Account Users of the workstation,select the
'Everyone' Option during the installation process.
After confirming the Installation,the PPU will continue with the
software installation,install the software at the specified folder
location and display the "Installation Complete" dialogue.
