Getting Started
TCP/IP Connections
TCP/IP provides diagnostic and connectivity tools for connecting to other systems and to a
network. For TCP/IP to work on your computer, it must be configured with IP addresses, subnet
masks, and a default gateway for each network adapter on the computer. To determine if TCP/
IP is installed on your computer, check with your Network Administrator.
Software Security Key
The software “key” is a small security device that must be attached to your PC’s parallel port or
USB port to fully enable the Attendant Console software. Without the key, the software will only
work in “demo” mode. The software key does not affect the functionality of the parallel or USB
port itself. Any device that you would normally connect to the parallel port can also be
connected through the software key.
To install the software key, simply shut down Windows, turn off the power switch on your PC,
and attach the appropriate end of the device to the parallel port or USB port on the back of your
PC.
