4-2 CHAPTER 4: MANAGING YOUR HUB USING QUICK CONFIG MANAGER

Installation Procedure

Quick Config Manager can be installed on its own or on to a workstation that already has other Transcend® management applications installed on it.

CAUTION: Do not install Quick Config Manager in the same directory as any other Transcend management applications. The default directory into which Quick Config Manager is installed is C:\QUICKMGR. This can be changed during the installation if required.

The installation program is a standard Windows based installation. To install Quick Config Manager:

1Start Windows.

If you already have an existing Transcend management application running, ensure that it is closed down.

2Insert the Quick Config Manager disk into your disk drive.

3In the Program Manager window, select the Run command from the File menu.

4In the Command Line box, type drive:\SETUP (where drive is the letter of your 3.5” disk drive) and click on OK.

The installation program starts and checks your system configuration; enter any information that’s requested. The installation program reports when it has completed the installation.

When the Quick Config Manager installation is complete, it has its own program group called Transcend. If other Transcend management applications are present, the existing Transcend program group now includes Quick Config Manager.

Running Quick Config Manager

Whenever you want to start the Quick Config Manager application, double-click on the Quick Configuration Manager icon.

CAUTION: Do not run Quick Config Manager in parallel with any other Transcend management application.

Before you can manage your hub, you must make a connection to the hub, see Chapter 3.
