Installing and Configuring the Driver in Windows XP
34 Spectrum24 Wireless LAN Adapter Users Guide
7.1 Installing the Spectrum24 Driver in Windows XP
Installing the Spectrum24 driver in Windows XP requires the user to replace
the Symbol Spectrum24 driver provided by the Windows XP operating
system with a newer version of the driver provided on the Spectrum24
High Rate 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Software CDROM or downloaded from the
Symbol Website.
If using EAP (802.1x) security with the adapter, the Symbol Mobile
Companion utility cannot be used as the adapter management tool. To
install the driver without Mobile Companion, refer to 7.2.2 Installing the
Driver for Use With the Windows XP Zero Config Utility on page 40.
To install the Spectrum24 driver in Windows XP:
If a CDROM is used in the installation, do not insert the Spectrum24 adapter
in the computer before inserting the CD in the CDROM drive. If the driver
files have been downloaded from the Web, go to the Mobile Companion
folder and launch setup.exe before inserting the adapter in the computer.
Verify the adapter is NOT installed in the computer before beginning the
driver installation. If the adapter was inserted into the system first, refer to
7.2.1 Removing a driver in Windows XP on page 39, remove the driver and
return to this section.
1. Ensure the previously installed Windows XP driver has been removed.
Verify the PC Card has not been inserted into the PC Card slot.
2. If a CDROM is to be used for the driver and Mobile Companion
installation, insert the CD and copy the driver files to the system. If
downloading the driver and Mobile Companion from the Symbol Web
site (http://www.symbol.com/services/downloads)
, extract the files to the
computer.
3. Go to the Mobile Companion folder and launch setup.exe.
