RSLinx – Training Guide 25
Training Section 2: Installing RSLinx
RSLinx is installed using a standard Windows setup program.
Your RSLinx package may consist either of a CD or of several disks (not both).
If disks, you can start with the disk labeled Disk 1.
Complete the following to install RSLinx:
1. Insert RSLinx diskette 1 into a floppy diskette drive (or for CD installation, insert the
CD in the CD drive).
2. Click the Start button on the taskbar, then Run, and Browse to the drive that
contains the RSLinx diskette or CD.
3. Find and double-click SETUP.EXE.
4. Click OK.
5. Follow the directions that appear on the screen.
• One of the final steps in the installation process requires the activation to be
installed. It is the “key” to activating the software and without it, RSLinx is
only RSLinx Lite.
Ø The Lite version has no DDE or OPC capability.
Note: In Microsoft Windows NT, as with any other network software, you must have
administrator privileges to install RSLinx software.
