Installing the Configuration Utility
To configure the bridge you use the configuration utility on the included Resource CD.
Note: To run the configuration utility, you must have the bridge connected using the provided
Ethernet crossover cable to a computer running Windows 98 or 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP —
directly or through a hub. If you have a Macintosh
®
computer, use the browser-based
configuration procedure on page 12.
1. Insert the Resource CD in a networked computer’s CD-ROM drive.
The NETGEAR software installation utility should start up automatically.
2. Click Install Utility.
3. Follow the instructions on screen to install the ME101 Configuration Utility.
4. Click Finish.
5. Restart the computer.
6. If you had the bridge connected to another device, you must connect it to the computer
where you installed the Configuration Utility.
Note: If the bridge and the computer are connected
to the same hub, you don’t need to directly connect
them.
a. If you had the bridge powered up, unplug it.
b. Connect the provided Ethernet crossover cable
between the computer and the bridge.
c. Plug the power adapter into the bridge and
then plug the power adapter into a power
