Installing the USB drivers and WIM
To use the PWG-500 as a USB modem for your PC, you
need to install the drivers for the device. When you con-
nect the device to the PC, the PC detects the new hard-
ware and starts the
New Hardware Found Wizard
.
Follow the instructions on the screen to locate and
install the USB drivers for the PWG-500 on the PC. The
USB driver files can be found on the utility CD provided
in your package.
WIM (Wireless in Motion) is an application that helps you
in configuring and using the PWG-500. The utility CD
contains two versions of WIM, one for your PC and one
for your PDA (Pocket PC only). Select the appropriate
version of WIM from the utility CD and double-click
Setup.exe
. Follow the instructions on the screen to
install the software. Refer to your PDA documentation
for details about installing software on your PDA.
