4. Right-click on the AirWave Installation CD .iso disc image file and select “burnatonce”.
When the burnatonce program opens, click the Write button. If burnatonce has not automatically
associated to the .iso disc image, run burnatonce manually and select the AirWave install image from
the Load menu.
For help with CD burning software other than burnatonce, please refer to the user guide for that product and
reference the option to create a CD from .iso disc image. With Nero, for instance, this option may be found
under File > Burn Image or Recorder > Burn Image.
