3.0 MAC OS 9 SETUP
This section contains info for OS 9.x only. OS X driver is not included in this
release of the Installer CD. OSX driver is expected to be available in September
2002, and will be available for free download for existing users of AeroPad.
Please check the Macsense website often for up-to-date info on OSX driver.
3.1 Driver Installation
You must first install the drivers before the OS will recognize the WUA-400
AeroPad.
Note: You may use the Extension Manager to turn “off” any other wireless adapter
drivers, such as Apple Airport card drivers that may cause conflicts with our wireless
adapter.
Follow these simple steps to load the drivers properly:
1. Double-click
the
AeroPad OS9
Install
icon and follow the steps. This will
install the necessary drivers.
2. Restart the computer to load these drivers.
To Disable Drivers:
1. Under
the
Apple Menu
, go to
Extensions Manager
under
Control Panels
.
2. Uncheck
the
AeroPad
extension and control panel and restart the computer.
To Remove Drivers:
1. If AeroPad is currently in use, select another networking method other than
“AeroPad”
in the
AppleTalk
and
TCP/IP
control panels. Close the window
and save the settings.
2. Then manually remove the
AeroPad
control panel, extension and control
strip from the System folder.
3.2 Hardware Installation of AeroPad
1. Insert the AeroPad USB cable firmly into an available USB port.

the adapter. You can do this by opening both the

Save
the new settings.
