Software Installation
Note:
Due to subsequent software releases, the contents of this section can differ slightly from
your actual product.
The software for the I/O modules is based on the industry standard OLE for Process Control
(OPC) Server software. After you install the software for the National Instruments modules
according to the installation procedure in Avaya DECT Messenger Installation and
Commissioning, NN43120-301, this OPC software is installed. The FieldPoint software is also
installed, including FieldPoint Explorer. You must set up the National Instruments module
configuration using FieldPoint Explorer, before you can use the National Instruments module
in the DECT Messenger software.
The software for the National Instruments modules consist of three main parts.
• The eIO module that is part of the DECT Messenger software.
• The FieldPoint Explorer software for setting up the configuration of the FieldPoint
modules.
• OPC (Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control) Server.
Figure 38: Software Parts for the I/O modules on page 114 shows how these modules are
related.
Figure 38: Software Parts for the I/O modules
The OPC Server software can be controlled by ONE application only. Therefore, you can have
either the eIO Module active OR the FieldPoint Explorer.
