Installing the Driver Software
After you install a Secure Ethernet Network adapter, the system detects
the new hardware and creates an entry in the Device Manager when the
Windows operating system first boots up. Shortly after you log in, you
need to install the driver software for the Secure Ethernet Network
adapter. To install or update the driver software, you must have
administrative privileges.
To obtain the latest Secure Ethernet Network adapter software drivers, go
to the Allied Telesis website at www.alliedtelesis.com/support/

Software Updates and Product Information” on page 13.
