Section 4 Install the Driver Software
The steps you use to install the driver software depend on your operating system
(OS). This procedure provides instructions for installing driver software on a
Windows 7 OS.
Note: Windows 8 steps are basically the same as Windows 7, although the
dialog displays may differ somewhat.
Note: The PXGX UPS and PXGMS cards use the same driver.
Note: You can use either the Device Manager path or the Devices and Printers
path to browse for the driver software and install it. This procedure uses
the Device Manager.
To install the driver from the Device Manager:
1. Click Start in the Start bar. Type Device in the search box.
2. Select Device Manager from the list above the search box. The Device
Manager opens.
3. Locate RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget under either Other Devices or Network
Adapters (see Figure 5).
lIf you do not see RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget in either list, you do not have a
cable connected to the card. Connect the computer to the card. Go back to
Step 1.
lIf RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget is listed under Other Devices, the driver is not
installed. Go to Step 4.
lIf RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget is listed under Network Adapters, a driver is
installed already, but it may not be the most up-to-date driver. Go to Step 4.
and continue this procedure to ensure the most current driver is installed.
