2. If the Java Runtime Environment is not present on the PC, install it from the
PacketWave CD (bsu/Software/Application/Support directory) or the java.sun.com
web site.
3. Install the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) software by running the file
setup.exe
from the /Software/Application/ApertoInstallationManager/<OS> directory of the
PacketWave CD (where <OS> is the operating system being used, such as win32). At
the end of this installation, an AIM icon will be placed on the Windows desktop.
Connecting to the PacketWave 200
Connect the computer on which the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) is loaded:
1. Ensure that the Interface Box is connected to the Outdoor Unit as described under
Connecting the ODU to the Interface Box on page 4-8.
2. Connect the computer to the Interface Box LAN port using a crossover Ethernet cable.
NOTE: Aperto recommends a laptop PC with 256 MB RAM, 10 GB disk drive, Pen-
tium processor, and Ethernet LAN connection. Systems as small as 128 MB RAM
and a 386 processor have been used, but their performance is not satisfactory.
3. Ensure that there is only one active Ethernet interface on the computer. (If there are
multiple active Ethernet interfaces, the AIM cannot determine which to use.)
4. Ensure that the computer has a fixed IP address, and not one set by a DHCP server.
Figure 5-1 gives an example of setting a fixed IP address on Windows 2000; be sure
to select Use the following IP address. It does not matter what IP address, network
mask, and gateway are used.
