USB driver installation is not necessary. The Microsoft Plug and Play (PnP) auto-detect feature recognizes when

automatically.

connecting the USB jack, as explained in section 5.1.2, “Connecting USB Devices to Your Modem.”
Determine which operating system is installed on your PC, and then follow the USB driver instructions that match
your operating system. The following table provides a reference to the USB driver installation instructions. After
