The first box should have a check mark in it and all the other boxes should be blank. If any
other situation is present, the hardware has been misconfigured. Contact your Harris
representative for further assistance.
Installing the Server Software
NOTE: The Device Server software is installed on the device server. The Device
Server should be used exclusively as a device server, not running any
other applications. Harris’ software is designed to use all possible
resources on the device server, and performance deterioration will result
if the device server is used to run additional software.
You will either have the server software on two floppy diskettes, or on an electronically-
delivered file titled server.exe. This is a self-extracting executable file containing all the files
necessary to install the server software.
To install the Device Server software, perform the following:
NOTE: If you already have the files on two floppy diskettes, skip to step 6.
1. Copy the server.exe file to a temporary directory. This file is a self-extracting zip file.
2. Open a command prompt and cd into the directory containing the server.exe file.
3. Type server.exe -d to extract the file. The file extracts into two subdirectories, titled “Disk1”
and “Disk2.”
4. Copy the “Disk1” files onto a floppy diskette and label it “ADC NT Server Disk #1.”
5. Copy the “Disk2” files onto a floppy diskette and label it “ADC NT Server Disk #2.”
6. Go to the device server and insert Disk #1 into its floppy drive.
7. Open a command prompt and type a:setup.exe to begin the installation.
8. InstallShield proceeds to install the software onto the server. Follow the onscreen instructions
to complete the installation. The opening screen resembles the following:
