5. Installation
5.1 Installing the Remote Comparator Display Software
To Install the Remote Comparator Display Software
1.
C:> MD CTI E
2. C:> CD CTI E
3. Insert CTI MCN Remote Comparator Display disk in A:
4. C:\CTI> COPY A:*.* E
5. Modify your CONFIG.SYS file as shown in section 5.2 of this manual.
6. Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown in section 5.4 of this manual.
7. If you are using transmitter steering (your system includes TIB modules),
copy the file TXSTEER.CFG to MCNRCD.CFG so that you have the
transmitter steering status messages. The standard configuration file,
NORMAL.CFG does not include the transmitter steering information.
8. Re-boot to have the changes take effect.
5.2 Loading the Device Driver
A device driver file must be loaded by your CONFIG.SYS file before the runtime
comparator display software MCNRCD.EXE can be run. The command line for
the device driver should have been edited into your CONFIG.SYS file when the
MCN network interface module (either the HIB or the PCLTA card) was installed
in the system. If you have not loaded the device driver, modify your
CONFIG.SYS file to add the appropriate command line and then re-boot your PC.
Refer to the HIB or PCLTA hardware reference manual of the MCN network
interface device you are using for instructions on loading the device driver. Each
type of network interface device uses a different device driver file. You may be
able to load the device driver in high memory to conserve conventional memory.
If you attempt to run MCNRCD.EXE without loading this device driver,
MCNRCD will show an error when a screen file is loaded and then will exit back
to DOS.
5.3 Additional CONFIG.SYS File Changes
In addition to the device driver additions, be sure your C:\CONFIG.SYS file
includes the following minimum Files and Buffers:
FILES=20
BUFFERS=20
If you use a MOUSE.SYS mouse driver, make sure its entry is in CONFIG.SYS.
If you use a serial mouse, be sure its COM port does not conflict with the serial
port for the HIB. Be sure to re-boot the computer after any changes.
