Unusual Procedures

Updating or Adding to Existing GSM Software

Whenever you purchase the TCP/IP Ethernet Software, whether for the first time or as an update, you receive all three parts: the Configuration Editor, the Communications Software, and the GSM Software.

Normally, you will install all three parts of this software when you purchase it the first time. If you receive an update, or are adding a new GEnet product, you may install all or part of this software as appropriate. To install a specific part, follow the instructions below.

1.To install only the LAN Interface Configuration Editor, type:

C:\GSM> a:install c

2.To install only the LAN Interface Communications Software, type:

C:\GSM> a:install x

3.To install only the GSM Software, type:

C:\GSM> a:install g

4.To install all 3 components, type:

C:\GSM> a:install

Changing the PC Network Card

If you change the PC network card type for any reason, follow the instructions below.

1.Power down the PC. Remove the existing PC network card. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the new PC network card.

2.Power up the PC. Change directory to the GSM directory.

C:\> cd\gsm

3.Run the LANIFSET utility.

C:\GSM> lanifset

4.This utility accesses the same menu as found in step 7 of the section, ªInstalling the GEnet System Manager (GSM) Softwareº. Complete the remaining steps of that section. This section describes the hardware requirements for running the GEnet System Manager (GSM) software, and tells you how to install the GSM on the hard disk of your personal computer.
