4 Maintenance and
troubleshooting
Overview
The following section provides information for hardware and software related questions or
troubleshooting issues.
Q: Are there any special requirements for laptops?
A: Yes, there are two special requirements for laptops:
• An available USB slot is required.
• Power supply support of 5V±5% is required.
Q: What’s the correct way to install the client software?
A: To install the client software perform the following steps:
• Install the client utility first, and then plug in your USB Dongle.
• The operating system detects the new hardware and guides you to install the new driver step by step.
Q: Why does it take a long time to install the client utility in Windows XP?
A: Please do NOT choose the option “search driver on networks” during installation as
your computer may do a complete driver search and cause a delay in the installation
process.
Q: I installed the client utility then plugged in the USB Dongle, however I still can’t
install the driver?
A: Perform the following:
• Take out the USB Dongle, and plug it in again.
• Your computer detects the new hardware and guides you to install the appropriate driver.
• If you still can’t install the driver successfully, check your device by installing the drivers on another computer.
Q: Can I take out the USB Dongle without removing it through the operating system?
A: Although the USB Dongle device supports hot swap, please remove it by undocking it
through your operating system first.

if .NetFrameWork is installed on your system. If it is not detected, the utility
installs .NetFrameWork automatically.
Q: I removed .NetFrameWork do I need it to run the client utility?
A: Yes, .NetFrameWork is necessary for the client to operate properly. You must install
the client software once again. See Hardware and Software installation.
Q: What operating system does the client utility support?
A: The client utility currently supports Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Q: Why does a Windows message displaying Cannot remove the hardware now pop up
when I run the auto-uninstall?
A: Please exit the client utility first, and restart your operating system if necessary.
