Introduction to Software Installation
Since not all operating systems are the same (e.g. Windows, Apple/Mac, Linux), we have supplied installation
directions for each type. Please read and follow each
step of the installation and connection instructions for
your operating system.
Please install the software on the CD according to
the instructions in this Quick Start Guide, BEFORE
the antenna is plugged in.
Windows Vista/7 users can automatically install the
drivers without using the CD, provided that your
computer is currently connected to the internet. With
the internet currently connected, then plug in the antenna to the computer. The drivers will install automatically.
Linux users: See instructions on the Software CD.
