3. Installation

Insert the CD into your CD ROM Drive. The installation program should start automatically. If
not, navigate to the installation executable file and double click on it. Follow the instructions
provided by the installation wizard. The USB server uses DHCP to assign the IP address by
default. If a DHCP server is not available, the USB Server will use IP Address 169.254.10.10
