4. PSS Software Installation
This installation guide is intended to provide a roadmap for installing and configuring the PSS
system and all supporting software. The reader should be familiar with the Windows interface
and installing software.
This guide assumes the software is being installed on a new machine. It is strongly
recommended that the target computer be dedicated to running PSS and that you install the
software onto a freshly formatted disk.
Before Starting
The following media will be needed during the installation process:
- Bootable Microsoft NT Server Version 4.0 Installation CD
- NT “Getting Started” book (with the Certificate of Authenticity on the front)
- NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 CD
- NT 4.0 Option Pack CD
- Video and Network Card drivers
- Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 (Standard) CD
- Microsoft Access CD or Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition CD
- Symbol PSS Setup CD (includes WaveWorks, PSS, and customer changes)
The following information will be needed during the install:
- Administrative account and password for the computer
- The IP address and hostname of the target computer. (It is suggested that the target
computer use a private IP subnet. The 172.16.N.N addresses are typically used with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0; this allows for 256 hosts on the subnet).
- The range of IP addresses to allocate for DHCP use. If you need to have the target computer
on the office/store network, make sure that there are no other DHCP servers on the same
subnet. If that is not possible, then install a second network adapter and use it to connect to
the outside world, leaving the private IP subnet for PSS use.
- Access Point ESS ID (aka Net ID)
