N.B.: Instead of a local area network solution with separate Central Unit PC and

Base Station PC, you can also work with only one PC or laptop computer with
Windows 98™ and a USB connector.

Via the USB, the Base Station PC detects the IDs of all Cell Transmitters connected
to it, and transfers the configuration files to the Cell Transmitters. (N.B.: These
configuration files will be created later with the Central Unit Software, see chapter 4)

When starting the Base Station PC or hot plugging the Cell Transmitters into the PC,
a Windows 98 message will inform you about the detection of a new USB device.
Please insert the „USB Driver“ disk to install the missing driver.

Now your hardware is ready for the installation of the Cell Transmitter Loader
Software.
