Resizing The Screen For Installation

Note:

Belkin's software standard resolution is much higher than what is required to run Winboard Embedded. Before setting up the Belkin software, you must reset the screen resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels. After resizing, the desktop will extend off the screen edge. The embedded touch screen keyboard will be displaced and unavail- able for use. You will need a USB mouse and keyboard. To view the entire area, scroll the screen by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen you need to see.

1. Open the display properties with your mouse by right clicking an empty area of the screen.

2. Select "Properties" on the pop-up dialog box.

3. From Display Properties select the "Settings" tab. Here you will change the screen resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels.

4. Click Apply and then select "OK".

5. Next restart the unit by scrolling to the bottom left edge of the screen and clicking "Start". Select the "Turn Off Computer" option.

6. After the unit shuts down, disconnect the power cable and then reconnect it.

7. Allow the unit to boot up Winboard Embedded. Then close Winboard Embedded again, by clicking the "X" in the upper right corner of the window. Do not select the shutdown button. Now you are ready to set up the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility.
