Serial Port

If the standalone Matrix PC or Matrix Server does not have a physical serial port, a USB-to-serial port con- verter will be required. The converter selected is based on the number of transceivers used in the system. Graco recommends Edgeport converters, which are available in 1, 4, or 8 port models (Edgeport/1, Edge- port/4, and Edgeport/8, respectively) and can be pur- chased from B & B Electronics Manufacturing Company (www.bb-elec.com). Each model comes with a 3.3 foot (1 meter) cable.

Uninterruptible Power Supply

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is required in all Matrix systems and is available from Graco (part no. 119425 for North American applications or part no. 120104 in Australia). This power supply provides contin- uous battery power to the PC during power interruption and safely shuts down the PC, securing your Matrix soft- ware and preventing data corruption. Be sure the PC and monitor are plugged into the battery back-up side of the UPS during installation.

E-Mail

Matrix can send e-mail to responsible parties based on certain bulk fluid tank conditions. If this feature is to be used, an “always on” Internet connection or network access to an outgoing mail server is required.

Sound Card

If the Parts Room Authorization feature of Matrix is used, Matrix will generate an audible alert whenever parts room authorization is received. A sound card in the standalone Matrix PC or Matrix Server will allow this to be heard by authorizing personnel.

PC Software Requirements

•Microsoft XP Professional or Home Edition (no other operating system will work).

•Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 6.0 or higher.

•Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4 or later. Ver- sion 1.4.2_04 is included in the Matrix setup; if Matrix finds no JRE installed on the machine or it finds an installed JRE older than 1.4, the user is prompted to install this version. This check occurs when the Matrix Client is started.

System Requirements

•If the installation is a multiple-PC system, the PCs must be configured for the network they’re con- nected to.

•If the installation will use the e-mail feature of Matrix, the standalone Matrix PC or Matrix Server must have network access to an outgoing mail server.

Pop-Up Blocker

Special Considerations for pop-up blockers

Summary: If a browser pop-up blocker is installed, it must either be disabled or configured to allow pop-ups. If it’s a single-PC system, the pop-up blocker must allow pop-ups from http://127.0.0.1:8080. If it’s a multiple-PC system, a pop-up blocker on the Matrix Server must allow pop-ups from http://127.0.0.1:8080, while a pop-up blocker on a Matrix Client must allow pop-ups from http://MatrixServer:8080, where “Matrix Server” is the computer name or IP address of the Matrix Server PC. Recent versions of Internet Explorer have a built-in pop-up blocker. You may have one or more browser tool- bars that have pop-up blocker functionality, such as those from Google and Yahoo. Security software pro- grams, such as those provided by Symantec and McAfee can contain pop-up blockers. It is fairly common for PCs to have multiple pop-up blockers.

Matrix relies on the IE browser for its user interface. In particular, Matrix uses browser pop-up windows exten- sively. The Matrix server includes a web server that gen- erates the screens viewed within the browser. If the PC has a pop-up blocker present, it can stop Matrix browser windows from appearing. For Matrix windows to appear properly, any pop-up blockers installed on the PC must be configured to allow pop-ups from the Matrix server (or be turned off).

Pop-up blockers come in many forms. The version of IE that comes with Windows XP Service Pack 2, for exam- ple, contains a built-in pop-up blocker.

The IE browser’s pop-up blocker can either be turned off or configured to allow pop-ups by adding allowed sites in the pop-up blocker settings of IE. In FIG. 1, if you select “Pop-up Blocker Settings”, the window shown in FIG. 2 appears. This example is taken from a “default” installa- tion of the Matrix software on a standalone PC (the allowed site shown in FIG. 2 was added manually, not by Matrix).
