Note:

Please be aware that connection via USB is only supported in Windows 98SE,

Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. For Windows 95, NT, Linux and
Macintosh you should use the Ethernet port of your NB1300.

Step 1: Connecting your computer to the NB1300

1. Place the CD-ROM provided into your CD-ROM drive.

2. Connect the USB cable from the NB1300 into a spare USB port on your computer.

3. Windows will detect the new hardware and launch a New hardware Wizard. When prompted

to search for drivers choose “Specify location”.

4. Browse the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive and locate the “USB driver” folder. E.g.

D:\USB driver\ where D: is the drive letter of your CD-ROM.

5. Continue with the driver search by clicking OK and the Found Hardware Wizard will locate

the USB driver and prompt you to install it.

6. Once the driver is installed, it is configurable as a regular Ethernet adapter and will be set to

automatically accept an IP address from the NB1300. You can manually set its IP address to
any free address in the range of 192.168.1.2 –254 as required.
