Installing Tracer Summit Critical Control System using Windows XP
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 239
4. Follow the online instructions to install the application. The installa-
tion process takes 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the speed of the PC
and the amount of available memory.
Setting up network adapters
Use the following instructions to set up network adapters for either
Ethernet or ARCNET.
To set up an Ethernet adapter using plug and play installation:
Follow the manufacturer’s plug and play instructions for an Ethernet
LAN adapter. When installation is complete, install the network adapter
protocol, and then verify the adapter status.
To install a PCI or PCMCIA ARCNET card:
1. Install the ARCNET card:
• For PCI ARCNET cards, shut down the PC Workstation and
install the PCI20 ARCNET card in an available PCI slot. Insert
the Tracer Summit software CD in the CD-ROM drive of your
computer. Then, restart the computer. Follow steps 2–4.
• For PCMCIA ARCNET cards, insert the card with Windows XP or
Windows 2000 running. Follow steps 2–4.
2. Windows XP Plug and Play software will detect the card and initiate
the new hardware installation wizard.
3. When prompted to specify a location for the card driver, specify
E:\ARC_XP. (“E” represents the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive,
which may be different on your PC.)
4. Restart the PC if prompted.
Installing the Network Adapter Protocol
The network adapter protocol is the language the computer uses to com-
municate over the network. How you install the network adapter protocol
depends on the operating system and the adapter type.
• For Windows XP systems using Ethernet or ARCNET adapters on a
dedicated network, Tracer Summit automatically installs support. It
is only necessary to verify the adapter settings (see “Verifying Net-
work Adapter Status and Protocol for Windows XP” on page 240).
• For Windows XP systems using Ethernet adapters on a shared net-
work, you may need to install TCP/IP protocol (see “Installing TCP/IP
Protocol for BACnet/IP Communications on Shared Ethernet Net-
works” below).
Note:
The ISA ARCNET card is not supported by Windows XP.
