Installing the USB Drivers

A USB driver is required if you want to use the USB port on the gateway as a
virtual serial port (USB Serial). If you want to use the USB port as a virtual
Ethernet port (USBnet), a driver is not required as the default Microsoft Windows
7 and Windows 8 drivers are used.
To install the USB Serial drivers for Windows 7 and Windows 8:
1. Go to source.sierrawireless.com
Click Tool.
2. Double-click the downloaded file (AirLink_Serial_<version number>.exe).
3. As the drivers installs, a progress box appears in the lower right-hand corner
of the monitor.

USB Serial.
5. Connect a gateway to the computer using a USB cable.
The driver installation completes and a window opens indicating the Serial
Port number.
