1. Prior to installation
Requirements to the PC
- Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz
- 1 or 2 GB RAM
- 80 GB Harddisk
- CD-ROM drev
- Windows XP Professional version 2002 SP2 (32 bit)
- Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit)
- The PC type must be contained in Microsoft’s positive list for
Windows.
- Net card to Ethernet if external TCP/IP contact is required
- Serial port for connection of gateway, modem, TCP/IP converter
A hardware handshake is required between the PC and the
gateway. A 3 m long cable between the PC and the gateway may
be ordered from Danfoss. If a longer cable is required (but max.
15 m), this can be made based on the diagrams shown in the
gateway manual.
- There must be more serial ports in the PC if more connec tions are
required. If a GSM modem (telephone) is connected directly to
the PC’s Com.port, the modem must be a Siemens type MC35i or
TC35i or Cinterion Type MC52iT or MC55iT. This modem has been
tested for its application and found to be OK.
- Windows printer
- This HASP-key must be placed in the PC’s port before the pro-
gramme can be used.
Requirements to software
- MS Windows 7 or XP must be installed.
- The programme will require a free disk capacity of at least 80 GB
to allow it to be installed, (i.e. 80 GB free capacity when WIN-
DOWS has been started).
- If alarms are routed via email or Windows 7 is used, Outlook or
Outlook Express must be installed.
- Installing programmes other than Windows or AKM is not recom-
mended.
- If a firewall or other anti-virus programme is installed, they must
accept AKM functions.
Change of software version
Before upgrade is commenced, a backup should be made of the exist-
ing version.
If the installation of the new version does not work out as planned, the
earlier version can be reinstalled.
The new AKM must be stored in the same file as the previous ver-
sion.
The HASP key must still be fitted.
AKA 245 / AKA 241
There are different types of gateways. They can all be used as con-
necting point for the PC, but sometimes it is enough to use the
somewhat smaller gateway type AKA 241.
Different ways of making connections are illustrated in Appendix
3. Use the way that is best suited for your plant.
Use the AKA 21 to set:
- Type of usage = PC-GW, Modem-GW or IP-GW
- Network
- Address
- Areas for Lon-addresses
- RS 232 port speed

dem.
Use the AK-ST service tool to set:
- IP address or telephone number
- Destination
- Access code
AK-SM 350
The system unit must be connected either to Ethernet or a mo-
dem.
Use either the front panel or the AK-ST service tool to set:
- IP address or telephone number
- Destination

AK-SC 255
The system unit must be connected to Ethernet.
Use either the front panel or the AKA 65 software to set:

Use either the front panel or Browser to set:

IMPORTANT
If you want to determine the DSN number (Domain, Subnet and
network), the alarm routing from tAK-SM 720, AK-SM 350, AK-SC
255, AK-SC 355 and AK-CS must not be active.
If the AKM receives an alarm before you have defined the DSN
number, the AKM will set a number itself.
The DSN number is set and cannot be changed once the setup
of logs and Mimic has begun. (The DSN number connected to
logs and Mimic here.)
