If your operating system is Windows XP or Windows Server 2003:
On the agent computer, open Internet Explorer.
3. In the Address field of Internet Explorer, type the following address:
http://servername/rockwellsoftware/assetcentre
where servername is the name of your FactoryTalk AssetCentre server computer.
For example, if your FactoryTalk AssetCentre server is called MYSERVER, type:
http://MYSERVER/rockwellsoftware/assetcentre
If you are using SSL, then begin with https:// instead.
4. Press Enter.
5. Internet Explorer displays a page from the server that allows you to install the
FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent software.
Click Install AssetCentre Agents on this computer.
6. On the File Download - Security Warning window, click Run (or Open). Do not
attempt to save the installation file—it will not run correctly from your local
computer.
7. The Install FactoryTalk AssetCentre Agents window opens. The installer searches the
computer for required components and displays the results in this window. The
installer will not install components that already exist on the computer. Components
that will be installed are indicated with a computer icon and a checked box. You
cannot select or clear the checkboxes in this window.
If Internet Explorer displays an error message that it can’t connect to the install web page, try
bypassing the proxy for local addresses. Also make sure that IIS is running on the server. For
information on running IIS see “Web page for installing the FactoryTalk AssetCentre client
and agent cannot be displayed” on page 75.
If Internet Explorer displays a warning about opening possibly unsafe content or downloading
possibly unsafe files, try adding the FactoryTalk AssetCentre Web site (URL above) to your
Trusted Sites.
See your Internet Explorer documentation for more information.
If you see a red “X” next to one or more components, this means that the installer cannot
determine whether the component should be installed. Contact Technical Support using the
contact information provided on the copyright page at the beginning of this guide.
