Make connections as illustrated below, when requested in the installation procedure. 2 Figure 2-1. Basic PC-to-Ethernet Port Connections This document makes several references to an Ethernet port, used to connect the adapter to an Ethernet environment. Such a port might be an Ethernet hub, network wall socket, peripheral device, etc. USB Ethernet Adapter 3 Figures 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4 illustrate sample applications for the Belkin USB Ethernet Adapter.

EXE) This section outlines the quick and easy, automatic installation procedure for the USB Ethernet Adapter drivers. Note: The installation program automatically detects if your computer is properly configured and initialized for USB installation. Make connections when requested in the installation procedure, illustrated in Figure 2-1. Your particular environment may require drive letters or folder names different than those mentioned here. You may be asked to specify file locations on the Windows® CD, or on the software installation diskette. For example: ­ Windows® might look on the A:\ drive for a file that is on the Windows® 98 CD. In this case, you would specify a search such as D:\WIN98\SETUP. 5 3. 1 Automatic Installation For Windows® 98 System The installation procedure assumes that this is a new driver installation on a Windows® system. The installation program automatically recognizes if your operating system is Windows® 98. Close any Windows® applications that may be running on your computer. Connect the network cable to the network port and to the Ethernet Adapter. A New Hardware Found form appears with the message: USB Ethernet Adapter. The system builds the driver information database and completes the installation. During this process, you may be asked to load the Microsoft Windows® 98 CD, and to reload the software installation diskette, as necessary. When complying with these instructions, you can safely close any auto-display window that appears following a CD insertion. It describes the requirements for configuring the appropriate Ethernet connections and specifying the TCP/IP (or other) protocol parameters. Turn to Section 4 in this manual for additional information. 6 4. [. . . ] Be patient when Windows® is installing the Adapter (or any other USB device). Plug and Play operations in Windows® can sometimes take up to 30 seconds or so between apparent activities. Current versions are considered high power devices (that is, they consume more than 100 mA when in operating mode). Thus, they cannot be used downstream of bus-powered hubs, which deliver only 100 mA per port. [. . . ]
