Installing Virtual Office from the CD

To install Netopia Virtual Office from the CD:

1. Shut down any versions of Virtual Office that are currently running on your computer.
2. Insert the Netopia Virtual Office CD into your CD-ROM drive.
3. If you are using Windows 95 , start Windows Explorer.
   If you are using Windows 3.1, start the File Manager.
4. From Windows Explorer or the File Manager, select the CD-ROM drive that contains Netopia Virtual Office.
5. Locate the setup.exe file and double-click it.
6. The Netopia Virtual Office Setup program's Installation Wizard appears.
   
   
   
   Just read the Wizard's comments, answer any questions the Wizard asks, and keep clicking the Next button. For example, the Wizard will ask you where you'd like to install Netopia Virtual Office. You can accept the Wizard's installation recommendation or pick another installation location.
   
   Note: If you are reinstalling Virtual Office and want to preserve your previous Virtual Office preferences, make sure that you install your new Virtual Office in the old location.
   
7. If you are installing Netopia Virtual Office for the first time, the Getting Started Wizard takes over.
   
   
   
   It will guide you through you the process of entering your
   • Virtual Office Business Card data (name, occupation, phone number, fax number, etc.)
   • Internet Name
   • Farallon electronic registration information
   • Virtual Office Trusted visitor password (or "key") for your own use

Answer the questions as best you can. Don't worry--if you change your mind later, you can always go back and change your configuration.

Note: If you lose or forget the password that you entered with your Internet name, go to Farallon's lost password page: http://www.farallon.com/product/nvo/dnspasswds.html

Once you have completed installation and configuration, the Netopia Virtual Office Console appears on your desktop.

Note: If you intend to use the Intercom service, you will need to restart your computer.
