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.
