Installing the Driver Software
Once you physically install the AT-2911GP adapter, the system detects
the new hardware and creates two entries in Device Manager when the
Windows operating system first boots up. Shortly after you log in, you
need to install the driver software for your adapter card.
Note
To install the driver software, you must have administrative
privileges.
The procedures for installing the driver software are slightly different
among Windows operating systems. To install the driver software on your
system, follow one of the procedures below:
