The EVK-W262U can be used together with the s-center software tool. The s-center software tool can be

on your system and placed under the “u-blox” folder in the “Start -> All Programs” menu.

Hardware installation
Connecting the unit to a USB powered hub is not recommended. The unit may draw more power than the
USB hub can supply, thus resulting in a power failure in all connected USB devices.
1.
Connect the unit to a PC running Microsoft Windows through an empty USB port.

If connected to the internet, the operating system will install the correct drivers automatically. The drivers
will only need to be installed the first time you connect the unit to a new computer.

A COM port will automatically be assigned to the unit by Windows. On Windows 7, open the Control
Panel, click Hardware and Sound and click Device Manager to view the assigned COM ports.
