3. Quick Start
We recommend that you first set up the entire system, including PC, modems,
HIB or PCLTA, Comparator I/O Device, and any other equipment in the same
room to verify system cabling and operation. After the system is up and running,
install the individual items at their proper locations.
To install the system, do the following steps in order:
1. Read section 4 of this manual.
2. Install the MCN Remote Comparator Display software on the computer,
modify your CONFIG.SYS file to load the proper device driver, and re-boot
the computer. See section 5.1 of this manual.
3. Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if required. See section 5 of this manual.
4. Install the HIB or PCLTA. Connect the PC to the HIB. Refer to the hardware
reference manuals of the HIB (reference 2) or PCLTA (reference 4) and the
MCN system manual (reference 1) for details about module installation.
5. Connect the HIB or PCLTA to the Comparator I/O Module using the MCN
network cable. Refer to the hardware reference manuals of the Comparator
I/O Module, as well as the MCN system manual (reference 1) for details about
module installation.
6. Run the MCN Remote Comparator Display (RCD) program using the pre-
built screen and module set files to verify the proper software and hardware
installation. The command line to execute is:
MCNRCD DEFAULT
7. If you have dial-up modems, install them now and test them with your files.
a) Make sure your modems are configured properly. See section 10 for
more details.
b) Connect the HIB modem to the HIB. See sections 10.2.1 and 10.4 for
connection information.
c) Connect the PC modem to the PC.
d) Connect the modems to the phone lines. See the Testing Local Back to
Back Modems part of section 10 for more details.
8. Run the MCNCFG program to configure the MCN Group Configuration Files
and MCN Screen Files for your system and test the system with your custom
files. Refer to section 6.2 for more details.
9. After testing your system locally, finish the permanent installation of your
system.
If you move a PC with a dial-up modem to a phone line with a different access
code (like Dial 9 for an outside line), you will have to change the dialing string in
the MCN Screen File.
