9.3.3 System Requirements
Confirm that your system meets the following hardware and software
requirements before you start the installation.
Hardware Requirements (Recommended)
 Pentium 4 processor rated for at least 2 GHz
 450 MB hard drive space for DTM Libraries
 Video card capable of 1024 X 768 resolution at 64k colors
 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)
 One of the following ProSoft Technology PROFIBUS DPV1 Master modules:
o ProLinx PDPMV1 Ethernet only, serial port not supported
o PTQ-PDPMV1 Ethernet only, serial port not supported
o MVI series PDPMV1 RS232 serial
o MVI56-PDPMV1 (with 1756-ENBT for Ethernet support)
Note for PTQ Users: The Ethernet connection implements UDP protocol, which dynamically
allocates a random UDP port for every connection. This implementation limits the possibility of
using most serial to Ethernet converters to access the PDPMV1 serial port through an Ethernet
connection. Several Ethernet to serial converters require the configuration of a fixed UDP port,
which is not available for the current implementation.
Software Requirements (Minimum)
 Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6A, Windows 2000 SP3 or Windows XP
Professional SP2, or better
 Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6.0, or better
 FDT 1.2.1 compliant FDT frame application. Compatible applications include:
o PACTware
o FieldCare
o M&M fdtCONTAINER
Some FDT Containers require the following components:
 Microsoft Management Console
 Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0, or better
