SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1. Operating System Installation
Please refer to Microsoft’s “Basics and Installation” documentation that comes with
the software.
2. Digi-Board Installation
To manage large numbers of modem shelves additional serial communication ports
may be required. The Digi-Board PC/’XEM can provide these.
Install the PC card and driver software following the manufacturer instructions. Under
Windows NT 4.0, drivers for Digi products are provided on the Microsoft Windows
NT V4.0 installation CDROM. It is important to ensure that you are logged on with
Administrative rights when installing new hardware.
Additional com ports provided by Digi hardware appear to the operating system in
addition to any ports already present within the PC system. It is strongly recommended
however that the new ports are assigned com designations from port 11 onwards, This
will assist with the physical port identification on the external hardware.
3. Sitespan Software Installation Instructions
Sitespan Version 2.5 is supplied on five 3.5” floppy disks and utilises the standard
Windows setup wizard. Ensure that you are logged on with Administrative rights
before commencing the installation.
1. To install Sitespan, simply insert disk 1 into the floppy disk drive and run
setup.exe (Click Start, Run and then enter a:\setup.exe). This will guide you
through the installation process automatically suggesting default locations and
user names. Programs will be added to the Start menu (on Windows NT4) and
signalling files copied into the C:\sigfiles directory.
2. Insert the correct floppy disks when requested. During the installation, the user
is provided with information regarding Windows NT Remote Access Service
(RAS). It is important that this Windows NT component is installed in order
for Sitespan to operate correctly. The final operation after Setup has completed
is to run a batch file that locates the “DLL” files in their respective locations.
