3. Silex SX-1000U - Installation

The Setup guide is professional and easy to follow, but for all practical purposes there's not much to installation besides plugging it in and installing the device drivers. When you're ready to install the software, just pop the included Setup CD into your Windows PC and follow the on-screen instructions for installation (Figure 4).

Once you're done installing the Silex SX-1000U drivers and host utility, you are ready to begin sharing USB devices. Just open up the SX-Virtual Link software (Figure 5), find the USB Server, and select the devices you'd like to connect to. Once connected, you'll notice the device appear in your list of available hardware. You will also be prompted to install any necessary drivers for the device if you have not already done so.
