{% hint style="info" %}
If you have an issue with step above you may need to [disable driver signature](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/disabling-driver-signature-on-windows-8/disabling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8) in Windows:

Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the letter C to open the Charm menu, then click the gear icon (Settings).&#x20;

* Click More PC Settings.&#x20;
* Click General
* Under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now
* After restarting, click Troubleshoot
* Click Advanced Options
* Click Windows Startup Settings
* Click Restart

After restarting your computer a second time, choose Disable driver signature enforcement from the list by typing the number 7 on your keyboard.

After restarting, you will be able to install the Arduino drivers normally.
{% endhint %}

Now you can see correctly recognised device in a device tree menu:

To confirm this you may open terminal and type **ipconfig:**

You will be able to locate the new Ethernet adapter with an assigned IP address in the range of 192.168.168.X.&#x20;

Now you can use ground module via USB the same as as it can be used with a native Ethernet based connection.
