 Insert the CD-ROM into the drive, and wait

for the 'auto-run' installation screen to

appear.

(If the 'auto-run' screen does not appear, eject & re-

insert the CD, or use the Windows Explorer to run

the "Setup.exe" program file on your CD.)

 Respond to the screens that appear, entering

any required information, and making

selections that are suitable for your installation.

Note: Some stages of the installation may

take a while--with only an hour-glass displayed

(be sure to let it finish).

If You are Prompted to Overwrite any existing Files

: In

general, you can select "Yes" to overwrite existing files.

Exception: If the files are indicated as 'Read-Only',

select "No".

Software Components

: Refer to the descriptions

below when deciding which software components to

install:

 Operator Client: For each PC to be used as a

Guardall Director workstation.

(For a multi-PC installation, install this on the

Guardall Director server PC as well.)

 Communication Client: For each PC to be

associated with a panel / modem connection.

(This may be used on its own, or in conjunction with

other software components.)

 Server: For the PC that will contain the Guardall

Director database--i.e., the 'server' (or only) PC.

Tip: Any or all of the software components can be

selected, as applicable (although "Server" will be

selected only on one

PC.)

2) Select [Next] or [Finish] as required to

complete the installation.

Install as a Service?: Select this if you want the

Director components to be able to function when no

one is logged into MS Windows.

V4.7: The Director-Server and Communications

client are installed as a service automatically.

3) Be sure to restart your PC when prompted.

Tip: After restarting, a "DB Generator" utility will

create a default start-up database for your Guardall

Director software.

4) Multi-PC (Client-Server systems): Install the

Guardall Director software on any additional

PCs.

Cyclic-ID Codes at each client PC: After

installing the software at each client

workstation, start the software, open H

elp,

bout... and jot down the "Cyclic-ID" code, as

this will be needed to 'tell' the server to allow

database access for each of these

workstations.

This is required for the Guardall Director software, as

well as the Communications software, as applicable.

(To start the software, open the Start menu, select

Guardall Director V4, followed by Programs, and

Guardall Director.)

Tip: If you prefer, you can cut-and-paste the ID codes

into "Notepad" or "MS Word", and use a floppy-disk to

transport the file to the server PC (for registration).

Similarly, you'll need to record the "Cyclic-ID"

code from the Communications software on

each PC to be associated with an alarm panel

connection (in addition to the Guardall Director

ID/code, as applicable).

Detail: If the LCD/Telephone icon on the Windows

taskbar is black-and-white (colour = running), start the

communications service by right-clicking the icon, and

selecting "Start Communications".
