INSTALLING VUE-IT™

Minimum System Requirements

CPU: Pentium® processor.

OS: Microsoft® Windows 3.1x, Windows 95, or Windows 98

Memory: 8MB RAM

Hard Drive: 5MB of available space (beyond swap file needs)

Disk Drive: 3.5 inch high-density

Monitor: 640X480, 256 color

Pointing Device: mouse or other Windows compatible pointing device

Communications: free COM port (1-4) with 16550 UART

Identifying a Serial Port

The ISP-100 requires a serial port to communicate with the PC. You must determine if you have a free 16550 serial port on the PC you intend to use with the ISP-100. You can do this by looking at the back of the computer for an empty 9-pin D-sub male (DB-9) or a 25-pin D-sub male (DB-25) connector. If you are unable to find an available serial port, then you must either disconnect a device from one of the ports that is currently being used, or install an additional serial port.

If you are unfamiliar with this, please contact your local computer dealer for assistance.

NOTE: It may be necessary to remove device drivers attached to serial ports in Windows 95. A good example of this would be a device driver for an external modem. This will eliminate the possibility of a software conflict between the VUE-IT software and other device drivers.
