3. Installation
Before you plug in and use the USB
2.0↔USB 2.0 Data Transfer Cable for
the first time with your local and
remote computers, you’ll need to run
the setup program to preload the
drivers and programs into your
computers. This enables you to use the
USB 2.0↔USB 2.0 Data Transfer
Cable properly under the Windows
operating system. You’ll also need to
install the cable and software.
On the local computer, you will install
the setup program, then install the
cable and software. Then, you will
repeat this installation on the remote
computer.
This chapter tells you how to install
the cable under Windows XP. If you
are using other Windows OS versions,
the installation will still be the same
but the look of the dialog boxes may
be a bit different. The setup program
supports only Windows 98, Me, XP,
and Windows 2000.

you through the setup process.
