7.2.2 Driver installation

Download the USB adapter drivers from http://www.dresden-elektronik.de/shop/prod152.html?language=en,

‘Downloads’ tab and extract the archive to a folder of your selection. If the ‘New Hardware Found’ wizard prompts for

drivers ignore Windows

update search (‘No, not this time’). In the next dialog, select ‘Install from a list

or a specific location’ and point at the extraction directory. Confirm installation, ignore warnings that the driver

is not digitally signed or did not pass the Windows driver certification.

If no wizard pops up, install drivers manually via the device manager.

Note: The driver installation needs to be performed twice.

Apply power to both (optional one) modules by switching on the power switch. The modules run a power-on check, and

indicate the successful completion by switching on LED-D2.

7.2.5 Run the packet error rate measurement

Type any character in the terminal window (Figure 7-1) to initiate the configuration procedure for a REB233CBB
