Installation

SiteChart software is installed on a PC that you can connect to

Explorer directly

via the serial port of a PC using the Communication Cable Kit (MX380304).

PC Requirements

The PC must meet the following hardware and software requirements to run the
SiteChart software:

Pentium based personal computer

8 MB of RAM for Windows 95, 16 megabytes (MB) of RAM, minimum, for
Windows NT (32 MB is recommended for Windows NT)

4 Megabytes of free hard disk space

Color, 600 x 800 display, adapter card and monitor supported by Windows

A Windows compatible printer is required in order to obtain printed reports

A mouse or another pointing device supported by Windows

A

CD drive.

Connecting a Remote Computer

For added flexibility you can control

Explorer through a remote computer. In this

configuration you will connect the computer at your location to a modem. You dial
out to a second modem connected to

Explorer. This option will be useful if you need

to call into

Explorer from home or from a separate location to view results. Also, if

an alarm or fault condition is encountered SiteChart can dial out and send an alarm
or fault message.

To do this, in addition to the system described above you will also need an
external modem for

Explorer and a modem for the remote computer, both 9600

baud or faster.
