This section will assist you in installing the STUSB and preparing your PC for your
Internet connectivity.
•
One of the following OSs must be readily installed on your PC:
•
Microsoft Windows 98/98SE or Microsoft Windows ME
•
Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP
You may need the Windows installation CD-rom during installation.
•
For Windows98/98SE/ME:
•
Pentium processor 166 MHz, or higher (or compatible)
•
32 Mega Byte (MB) of memory, or more.
•
For Window2000/XP :
•
Pentium II processor, or higher (or compatible)
•
64 MB of memory, or more.
•
30 MB of free disk space
•
A Web browser, e.g. Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, ... for surfing the
Internet.
In case of Bridged PPPoE a PPPoE session client application must be readily installed on
your PC. The installation software must be provided by your Service Provider.
As your STUSB is a true Plug-and-Play device you can use two different installation
procedures:
•
The SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) Installation
By inserting the STUSB Installation CD-rom, a wizard automatically guides you
through all needed installation steps.
•
The Plug-and-Play Compliant Installation
The installation procedure is initiated by connecting the STUSB to your PC's USB
port.
It does not matter which method you use, both are equally valid.
In this section, the SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) installation is fully described.
In case you experience problems with this installation, you can try the Plug-and-Play
compliant installation, shortly described at the end of this subsection.
The installation procedures might be slightly different depending on the Microsoft
Windows OS you are using:
•
Some windows will look differently
•
On Windows 98/98SE no 'Digital Signature' window will pop up
•
For Windows 98/98SE, at the end of the installation procedure, you may be asked
to enter an area code for Dial-up connections.
