USB Device Cable Connection

To connect directly to Storm3, the supplied USB device cable can be used. The first use of the device cable
will require installation of a simple driver. The driver is stored internally on Storm3 and becomes available
when the USB device cable is plugged in.
After the driver has been installed, a new network connection will be established with Storm3. This typically
occurs within ten seconds. Once the network has been established, open a web browser and navigate to
http://172.20.20.20/. If the connection was successful, Storm3's GUI will appear in the browser window.

Windows 7 Driver Installation

When using Storm3 for the first time with a PC, the computer will attempt to automatically install the Storm3
drivers (figure 4). As the drivers will not be automatically discovered, the driver will need to be manually
installed. This can be done by following the steps below:
1. Open the Device Manager and navigate to the
Control Panel.
2. Select System and Security > System > Device
Manager (or just System > Device Manager if
using classic icons).
3. Right click on the RNDIS! label and select
'Update Driver Software'.
4. Select 'Browse my computer for the driver
software'.
5. Click the "Browse" button and choose the
drive letter listed for 'Removable Disk'. The
'Removable Disk' is created by Storm3 when
the USB Device cable is plugged in.
6. Press Next. The Storm3 driver should be found
and will begin installing.
A warning window may appear noting 'Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software'. Select
the 'Install this driver anyway' option and the driver installation will complete. The driver only needs to be
installed on the first connection. After the driver has finished, disconnect and reconnect the USB device
cable to initialize the network connection. Once the connection has been established, open a web browser
and navigate to http://172.20.20.20/.
