Actiontec ED800TA, ED800T Quick Start Manual

Downloading and Installing the USB Driver for the ED800Tx

1. When the driver download begins, select "Save" rather than "Run" when prompted.

2. When choosing where the file will be saved, be sure to select a familiar location, like My
Documents or the Desktop. This way when the download has finished, the file(s) is easy to
find.

3. 1.The driver download is a ZIP file, which means the driver is stored in a compressed file.
To extract the files stored in it, you need a program like WinZip if you have Windows 2000
(XP has a built in utility).

4. On XP, when the files are extracted it will create the folder, “ED800Tx_USB_RAW­Driver”, and place the driver into that folder. The default behavior is to create the folder in
the same location as the ZIP file it self. So the folder will be in the same location as the
downloaded file, making it easy to find. If you are using Windows 2000, extract the driver
with the program of your choosing.

5. Power up the ED800Tx and connect one end of the USB cable to it and the other end to an
available USB port on the computer.

6. When the cable is connected, the Hardware Wizard will open. If prompted to use Windows
Update, select “No, not this time.”, and click NEXT.

7. It is very unlikely that Windows would be able to locate the driver on its own, so select
“Install from a List or Specific Location (Advanced)”, and click NEXT.

8. Choose “Search for the best driver in these locations.” for Windows to search. Deselect
“Search Removable Media (floppy, CD-ROM…) and instead select “Include this location in
the search:” then click the “Browse” button.

9. Use the “Browse” function to locate the folder “ED800Tx_USB_RAW-Driver”, (where the
drivers are located) and when you have highlighted that folder, click the “OK” button.

10. With the path to the location of the driver files showing in the small text box next to the
“Browse” button, click NEXT.

11. When Windows has completed the installation the driver, click “Finish” to close the Wizard.
