Chapter 3 Installing the Client Adapter
Verifying Installation
Step 26 If you want to install a second client adapter, allow your computer to completely reboot; then repeat the
steps in this section for the second adapter.
Note In Step 13, find the Install Wizard files using Windows Explorer. Then double-click the
Setup.exe file.
Step 27 Go to the “Verifying Installation” section below to determine if the installation was successful. After you
verify installation, go to Chapter 4 if you want to create profiles for your client adapter.
Verifying Installation
To verify that you have properly installed the client adapter software, check the client adapter’s LEDs.
If the installation was successful, the client adapter’s green LED blinks.
Note If your installation was unsuccessful or you experienced problems during or after installation, refer to
Chapter 10 for troubleshooting information.
Now that your client adapter is properly installed, you are ready to go to Chapter 4 to create profiles for
your client adapter, unless you are running Windows XP or have more than one client adapter installed.
• If you are running Windows XP, go to the “Deciding How to Configure Your Client Adapter
(Windows XP Only)” section below.
• If you have more than one client adapter installed, go to the “Selecting Among Several Installed
Client Adapters” section on page 3-24.
Deciding How to Configure Your Client Adapter
(Windows XP Only)
Windows XP is the only operating system that enables you to configure your client adapter without using
ACU. Therefore, if your computer is running Windows XP, you must decide whether to configure your
client adapter through Windows XP or ACU. To help you with your decision, Table 3-3 compares the
Windows XP and ACU client adapter features.
