A) Insert the CD into your computer’s disk drive. Using Explorer, navigate to your CD
drive and double-click Setup8400_x-y_PC_Remote.exe. Follow the in-
structions on your screen.
This program adds an Orban/Optimod 8400 folder to your computer’s Start
Menu. This folder contains shortcuts to the PC Remote application.
B) You have now installed all files necessary to use the PC Remote software.
C) The next step is to install and configure the Windows communications services that
allow your computer to communicate with your 8400. Because these procedures
and instructions are subject to change, the instructions are located in a file called
8400_Vxxx_installion.pdf (where xxx represents the version number of the soft-
ware), which you can access from the Orban/Optimod 8400 folder in your com-
puter’s Start Menu. You can use Adobe’s .pdf reader application to open and read
this file. The .pdf reader, it is available for free download from www.adobe.com.
Conclusion
By carefully following the instructions in 8400_Vxxx_installion.pdf, you
should have successfully installed the necessary Windows services and connected to your
8400. However, if you experience any problems with this process, or have any other 8400
questions, please contact Orban Customer Service:

About 8400/PD
The 8400/PD is identical to the 8400 except that the 8400/PD has a blank front panel and
must therefore be controlled and administered remotely through its serial or Ethernet
ports.
Use the included 8400 PC software to communicate to the 8400/PD via its Ethernet net-
work card (supplied with 8400/PD), an external modem, or null modem cable connected
to its serial port #1. See Using the 8400 PC Remote Control Software in Section 3 of
this manual.
Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP are the only supported operating sys-
tems. Orban software for 8400 is not compatible with Macintosh, UNIX or UNIX-variant
systems.
