FOCUS System Manual
Windows, please consult the documentation that
came with it.
Before installing the FCS, it is recommended that
any previous version of FCS be removed (unin-
stalled). The uninstall operation is available via
the Windows’ Control Panel “Add/Remove
Programs” Icon. Note: When you uninstall FCS,
the sub-address file, SUBADDR.TXT is also
removed. Before uninstalling, you may want to
copy and save this file so that you will not need to
create a new one.
1. To install FCS, insert the FCS CD-ROM into
the computer’ CD drive. If the FCS was
supplied on floppy diskettes insert Disk 1.
2. Select “Run” from the Windows Start Menu.
3. In the run field, type the appropriate drive
letter, followed by a colon (:) and a
backslash (\) then the word setup.exe (i.e.
d:\setup.exe).
4. Select “OK” and follow the instructions on
screen to complete installation. You may
want to view the readme file to learn what’s
new in the version you’re installing.
The installation of this software includes the files
you’ll need to UNINSTALL later.
If you have a problem reading the FCS CD from
your CD-ROM drive under Windows 95, please
open your system properties (under control panel),
and select the performance tab. Press the file
system button and select the CD-ROM tab. Under
the “Optimize Access Pattern...” Select no-read
ahead.
3.4.3 Initial FCS Use & Passwords
Every FOCUS chassis is shipped with three levels
of passwords, which are initially all set to
“focus1”. These are; Administrator,
Communications and Protection. Logging in to
FOCUS with the password assigned to one of
these groups will give access to a set of commands
consistent with the normal functions of that group.
The commands available are detailed in table 3-1.
Note that the Administrator is the only level that
can setup the Protection and Communications
passwords and can also implement the complete
command set to FOCUS. For groups with overall
responsibility for both Communications and
Protection, the Administrator level password is the
only one required.
Additional help with running FCS is included in
the help files within FCS. If you are running
Windows Vista™, you must download and install
the file “Winhlp32.exe” from Microsoft to use the
FCS help system. Windows 2000, NT & XP
include the file as standard. Please go to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607 for
complete details.
3.4.4 Connecting to the FOCUS
Chassis
After installing the FCS, the next step is to
connect your PC to the FOCUS chassis. The
primary way to connect the PC is to the RS-232
port on the front of the Maintenance Module (a
standard DB9 female connector) using a standard
RS-232 extension cable and a DB9 male
connector.
