RSLinx – Training Guide 13
RSLinx Requirements
Software requirements
RSLinx requires one of the following software environments:
• Microsoft Windows NT Version 4.0 (Service Pack 3 or later recommended).
Because RSLinx takes advantage of features not available in Windows NT
prior to Version 4.0, RSLinx is only supported on Windows NT Version 4.0 or
later.
• Microsoft Windows 95 with DCOM for Windows 95 installed. DCOM for
Windows 95 must be installed before attempting to install RSLinx, or the
RSLinx installation will fail.
Ø DCOM for Windows 95 can be installed from the RSLinx CD or
downloaded Microsoft's DCOM95 website
(www.microsoft.com/com/dcom.asp).
• Microsoft Windows 98.
Hardware requirements
RSLinx has the following minimum hardware requirements:
• An Intel 486/66 or Pentium processor with at least 16 megabytes of RAM.
This version of RSLinx will not run on Alpha, MIPS, or Power PC processors.
The versions of Windows NT for different processors are not binary-
compatible.
• At least 15 megabytes of available hard disk space. 20 megabytes of
available hard disk space may be required for specific application features.
• A 16-color, SVGA display with 800 by 600 or greater resolution.
• A Windows-compatible pointing device.
Note: RSLinx 2.00.97.30 will not install on Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4.
The version of Harmony that is installed with RSLinx 2.00.97.30 will not
install on Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4. The installation hangs at
about 50% (during the Harmony Installation).
The solution is to download the file “HarmonyRT.zip” from Support Library
Technote ID: P1040.
This is not a problem with the 2.1 version of RSLinx.
