automatically configures it to communicate with the HomePortal during setup, but you will need to install
the driver. See Appendix A for detailed installation instructions.
If you are NOT using a 2Wire wireless adapter, you will need to manually configure your adapter to
communicate with the HomePortal BEFORE installing the HomePortal software. See Appendix B for
detailed configuration instructions.
