After one minute, if the Setup Wizard does not run automatically, follow these steps:

1.Double-click the My Computer icon located on the desktop.

2.Double-click the icon that corresponds to your CD-ROM drive, then double-click Setup.exe.

3.Follow the onscreen instructions.

First computer only: After the Setup Wizard completes, the BROADBAND LINK indicator light on the front of the HomePortal flashes green as it attempts to establish a connection to your broadband service provider. This could take several minutes. The light will turn solid green when the connection is established. Your Web browser will automatically launch to complete the installation of the HomePortal software.
