Plugging Edgeport Into Your PC
Plug the Type A end of the USB cable into the USB port located in the back of your PC or
into an available USB port on a standard hub or into an Inside Out Networks Hubport.
Plug the Type B end of the USB cable into the back of the Edgeport. The “USB Cabling
Diagram” in the Appendix shows the two connectors and respective receptacles.
If the drivers are not already installed, you may proceed to the next section, "Installing
Edgeport Drivers.”
Installing Edgeport Drivers
These installation instructions are for installing the Edgeport software from CD. If you are
installing from diskette and using Windows 95, 98, CE, SE, ME, or 2000, when prompted
for the location of the drivers, specify your 3-1/2” floppy drive (usually
a: ). NT users will
not be prompted and will need to locate the driver by double-clicking on their floppy drive.
In either case, you will not need to specify a directory.
For Windows 95 Users
Follow the instructions described above in "Plugging Edgeport Into Your PC." After con-
necting the USB cable, if the Update Device Driver Wizard dialog does not appear, please
review "Using USB with Windows 95" in the Appendix. Otherwise, click "
Next " to continue
with driver installation.
To install the Edgeport drivers:
1) Insert the "Edgeport Driver" CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2) After Windows fails to locate the drivers on your floppy disk drive, click " Other Loca-
tions... ".
3) When the Select Other Location dialog appears, type <CD drive letter>:\Win95 and
click " OK ".
4) Confirm that Windows has found the correct driver location and click " Finish ".
5) When Windows prompts you for the driver disk, click " OK ".
6) At the next Windows prompt, type <CD drive letter>:\Win95 and click " OK ".
After installing the drivers, Windows will detect your Edgeport's new COM ports and will
begin to initialize them. Installation is complete when no more dialogs appear. Your new
communication ports, numbered sequentially following the existing ports in your system,
are now ready!
