Hardware Preparation
1. Do not connect the Wireless USB Host Adapter to your computer until you are instructed to do so later
in the section titled “Driver Installation”.
2. Remove the Wireless USB Host Adapter, extension/swivel adapter, and the installation CD from the
package.
3. Allocate a space for the Wireless USB Host Adapter’s placement. Make sure you avoid the places
mentioned above. You will need to make available a USB 2.0 port on your PC where the extension/
swivel adapter can be securely inserted and where there is room for the Wireless USB Host Adapter
to be inserted in the extension/swivel adapter at a 45 degree angle. Use only the extension/swivel
adapter to test at this time. Do not connect the Wireless USB Host Adapter to your computer at this
time. If using a Desktop PC, do not use a port on the back of the PC. Select a USB 2.0 port on the
front of the system to ensure a good line-of-site signal with the Wireless USB Hub.
