Installation using USB (for Windows 98 PCs)
This chapter describes the installation and configuration process using the USB interface
in Windows 98 PCs.
Many computers today are shipped with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. With a USB
port, a Network Interface Card is not required, but a specific USB driver must be installed
on the computer. The USB drivers required for the HM220d ADSL modem is provided
on the CD-ROM, and is installed during the installation phase. This driver facilitates
communication between the modem and the computer. Unlike an Ethernet connection, a
USB connection does not allow for more than one computer to be linked to the modem.
