Installing the USB Drivers

Note: You can download USBserial drivers for Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8
from www.sierrawireless.com/Support/Downloads.aspx.
USBnet drivers are available for Windows XP 32-bit with SP3. (For information on SSP3,
see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389). Windows XP with SP2 or earlier is no longer
supported. For Windows 7 and Windows 8, you do not need to install a USBnet driver, as
default Microsoft drivers are used.
USBserial and USBnet also work with Linux CDC-ACM drivers.
Virtual Ethernet is the default setting for the USB port. If you want to install the
virtual serial port, change the Device Mode to USB Serial.
When you connect the AirLink device to a USB port on your computer for the first
time, Windows detects a new device and prompts you to install the driver.
Note: Windows sees each port type as a different USB device and sees every port on your
computer separately. If you change the port type on the AirLink device or connect to a
different USB port on your computer or hub, Windows sees it as a new device.
