Step 1 - Install Software
* /512A and /516A are not supported by Windows Vista.
1. Close all running applications on the host PC.
2. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. An Opening Screen will appear.
3. Click the <ENTER SETUP> button.
4. From the hardware selection screen [which follows a licensing agreement], select the WaveBook/512A or
WaveBook/516A as applicable; then follow the on-screen instructions.
Step 2 - Connect the WaveBook to the Computer
For PCs that do not have an available parallel port, an interface option may be used, such as a WBK20A [interfaces with a
PCMCIA card slot], WBK21 [interfaces with an ISA bus slot], or WBK23 [interfaces with a PCI bus slot]. These are
discussed in PDF documents included on the CD. In regard to Ethernet connection, these WaveBook models can be
connected to one of three Expansion Ports on a WaveBook/516E or to one of three Expansion Ports on a WBK25 Ethernet
Module. Refer to the CD PDF documentation as needed.
1. Using a parallel port cable, connect the WaveBook to a parallel port on the computer.
2. With the WaveBook power switch “OFF,” connect the power supply cable from the TR-40U to the WaveBook’s
Power-In DIN5 connector (located on the rear panel).
3. Connect the TR-40U plug to a standard AC outlet; and turn the WaveBook power switch to “ON.”
