The following section will assist you to install Octopus Card Bus WLAN adapter successfully. You will
install driver firstly and then plug in the Octopus Card Bus WLAN adapter, and finally set the network
properties to accommodate resource sharing and select the type of wireless network that you want to
install.
In order to establish your wireless network connection, make sure some steps below will be performed.
■ Install the Access Point (AP) at first if you use Access Point network mode.
■ Install the driver using the Installation CD.
■ Plug in the Octopus Card Bus wireless LAN adapter.
■ Install the network protocol(s) required to communicate on your network. Most likely you will
need the TCP/IP protocol.
The Octopus Wireless LAN Configuration Utility is installed simultaneously with the driver by
executing the Setup.exe file. Note also that some versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems
require administrator to install software. If this is the case for your operating system, be sure that you
have such privileges before executing the Setup.exe file. To upgrade an existing driver, it is not
necessary to remove your Octopus driver from your computer. Simply run the Setup.exe file to replace
the existing driver with the latest version. After the new driver is installed, maybe you must restart the
operating system (depend on the Windows’ OS).
Please follow the following steps one by one in order to install the Octopus Card Bus adapter
successfully.
