Installation
Note: Do not connect the adapter to your computer until you have installed the product
driver.
1. Insert the CD that came with the product into your computer's CD drive. If your
computer does not have a CD drive, you can download the product driver at
www.tripplite.com/support.
2. Locate the driver file that is applicable to your computer's operating system and
run it.
3. Follow the installation prompts that appear.
4. When finished, plug the adapter's USB connector into an available USB port on your
computer. Upon connecting the adapter to your computer, the device driver will finish
installing.
5. You may be required to restart your computer to complete the installation.
6. Verify that the installation was successful by navigating to your computer's Device
Manager screen and expanding the Network Adapters option. You will see the ASIX
AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet adapter among the adapters in the list.
7. Using Cat5e/6 cabling, you can connect each port to a separate network. You
can also connect to a network with one port and share connectivity with another
computer using the second port.
• Upon connecting to the network, the adapter should automatically be assigned
an IP address. In certain situations, you may be required to manually assign an IP
address. If this is the case, contact your system administrator for help in assigning
an IP address.
