Configuring the PC Software
217
4. End the installation with a function test. With a double-click on the newly created
desktop icon, start the StartCenter programme. Select from the fold-down
selection the desired TC-system type. Available offline configurators are now dis-
played as symbols. Double-click on a configurator symbol and select from the dia-
logue Start with Factory settings. The offline configurator starts with an
command window. Open a Web browser and in the address line enter: “http://
localhost/”. Confirm with enter.
5. Configure the virtual system as usual. Using the data backup, you can save the
configuration.
6. Activate the command window. End the offline configurator with the window’s
menu command Close.
To maintain multiple different installations, you can copy further offline configurators
to new directories of your hard-drive. Change between the directories by selecting
the command Extras: Setup in the StartCenter programme. Select the corre-
sponding Working Directory in the Setup dialogue. You will find further explana-
tions in the StartCenter online help.
Notes
• The ITC-system serial number to which the configuration is later to be transferred
is queried when starting the offline configurator. You will recognise this by the
caution symbol in the left symbol-bar. Click on this symbol. Enter the serial
number into the input field that opens.
The serial number is required to activate programme packages requiring licences
in the offline configurator (in menu System: Licences). The serial number can be
obtained for the ITC-system’s Configurator in the System Info: Versions menu.
• If there is a firewall installed on the workstation computer, then a warning will be
displayed. This warning shows that the computer is now ready-to-receiver
requests for the offline configurator’s web-server service. You must permit the
web-server service, for example by activating the option For this program do not
display this notification again.
• If there is an existing web-server service installed on the workstation computer,
then you must enter a new port number in the Setup dialogue of the programme
StartCenter, for example 8080. In the Web browser, the address line input is then:
“http://localhost:8080/”. When using different port numbers you can also start
multiple offline configurators simultaneously on one workstation computer.
• If for the Web browser there is a proxy activated, then you might have to enter the
computer name “localhost” into the exceptions list (No proxy for …).
