Installing Your External Bluetooth USB Device and Virtual COM Ports

If you are accessing this manual as part of the installation of your Bluetooth USB device, skip to step 3 below.

1With the computer on and Windows 98 SE, Me, or 2000 running, insert the Bluetooth Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive. The auto-start feature starts the installation. If auto-start is disabled on your computer, click Start>Run and type d:\setup.exe (where d: is your CD-ROM drive). The 3Com Wireless Installer menu appears.

2Select Step 1: Install Bluetooth Hardware from the menu.

3Attach the USB device to the USB port on your computer (see the first illustration below). Note that the connector end twists to fit either a horizontal or a vertical port. If you are connecting to the USB port on a desktop computer, use the cable (see the second illustration below) to correctly position the antenna for the best coverage. You are prompted to “Add new Hardware.”

After attaching the USB device, if auto-start is enabled and nothing happens within five seconds, restart your computer and log in to Windows. The installation process will begin when the computer restarts.

4Respond to the prompts to add the new hardware.

You may be prompted for the location of drivers on the Bluetooth Installation CD. If so, use the following paths on your Bluetooth Installation CD, where D: is your CD-ROM drive:

Windows 2000 — d:\drivers.W2K

Windows 98 SE and Windows Me — d:\drivers.W98

During the installation process, you may receive prompts for your Windows operating system installation CD. Insert the CD and indicate the correct path.

5Your computer will go through a brief installation process during which it will display several windows indicating what is currently installing. This takes several minutes.

6Restart the computer whenever you are prompted.

7From the 3Com Wireless Installer, select Step 2: Install Bluetooth Software. This installs Bluetooth Connection Manager, which allows your wireless Bluetooth device to communicate with other Bluetooth devices.
