ROM drive and select the ThinQ.exe
file. Click “OK” in the Run window
to launch the installation.
Step 5
From the Main Menu, select Install
SDS. Click the Next button to search
for Serial Device Servers.

Make sure that your SDS and your
computer are on the same subnet

IP address will be the same).
You may need to change your
computer’s IP address if no DHCP
server is present.

SSID, check with your system
administrator.
Note: The Channel setting is only
used in Ad hoc mode. In
Infrastructure mode, the AP
determines the channel.
Step 12
