with a CD-ROM drive and a ﬂoppy drive and eight or more diskettes. Make sure you have enough diskettes on hand.

1For the driver software, prepare a diskette labeled Drivers.

For the rest of the software, label diskettes numerically (Disk 1, Disk 2, Disk 3...).

2Put the 3Com CD in the CD-ROM drive. The setup program should start automatically. If it does not start, you can run it manually by selecting Run from the Start menu and specifying the srsetup.exe program (for example, d:\srsetup.exe).

3In the 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN menu, click Tools and Utilities.

4In the Tools and Utilities menu, click Create Installation Diskettes.

5In the Disk Factory window, click Next.

6Select the software you want to transfer to diskette. The Disk Factory displays the number of diskettes that will be required. Make sure you have that number of diskettes.

7Select the action (for example, Create and Verify Disks), specify the destination location, and click Next.

Follow the prompts on the screen.

If you are installing the drivers manually, use the Drivers diskette when the setup wizard for your operating system prompts for drivers supplied by the manufacturer.

When you are ready to install the application software from diskette, put 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Application Disk 1 in the ﬂoppy drive and run the setup.exe program.
