Before operating the PowerRouter, you may initialize the PowerRouter by using the
PowerRouter software installation tool. The PowerRouter software installation tool helps
you to initialize the PowerRouter but also allows you to make advanced settings and update
the PowerRouter firmware, if applicable.
To help you properly install the PowerRouter via the installation tool, we have compiled this helpful application
guideline. This guideline explains the options and guides you through the procedures for using the installation tool.
Following these steps will ensure proper installation and allow you to quickly and easily connect the PowerRouter
with the correct settings.
Prior to start-up
Before you can use the installation tool you must install the software installation tool on your computer. You may
download the installation tool from the website: www.PowerRouter.com (you will need your login details for this
website). The software installation tool can be used to configure PowerRouters with firmware version 4.0 and
higher. If a PowerRouter with an older firmware version is detected, the installation tool will only allow you to
update the PowerRouter. The installation tool already includes the latest available firmware version so no additional
downloads are required.
