In either case, the installation process is basically the same:
1. You have to get the mainframe (and, if applicable, the external
controller) running.
For a self-enclosed ParBERT, you have to connect the mainframe to
mains power.
For a ParBERT system with an external controller, follow the
procedure described under ”ParBERT with External Controller” on
page 25.
2. You have to connect the controller (either the embedded or the
external controller) to the LAN.
For ParBERT systems with an embedded controller, see ”Connecting
ParBERT to the LAN” on page 91 for instructions.
See the user documentation delivered with the external PC to
connect it to the LAN.
3. You have to get the user PC running and connected to the LAN.
4. You can now install the ParBERT user software on the user PC.
See ”Installing/Updating the ParBERT User Software” on page 70
for instructions.
