• Then the Setup Complete prompt appears with an option to launch the program.

The program installation from disk is complete at this point. The installer now launches the program and sets

up the TPS system with at least one Supervisor before logging out from the installation.

3.1 Launching the TPS program

If the "Yes, Launch…" box shown above was selected then the computer will start the TPS program.

If the "Yes, Launch…" box shown above was not selected then to start the TPS program do the following.

The TPS program icon will be displayed on the Windows desktop (because after the installation is complete

the program is listed in the Startup menu).

To launch the TPS program click on the icon.

If the following error message appears…

Then you must…

1) Verify that the TPU is turned on and is connected to the host computer. Look at the virtual LED indicator for

"TPU status" located at the bottom right of the host computer screen.

2) Verify all cable connections at the back of the TPU and AU and PC.

3) Verify that the PC serial port that you are connected to (COM1 or COM2) matches the default port set in

the configuration menu (see Set Communications port parameters).

Note:

The cable marked "326595-001" connects the AU to the TPU.

The cable marked "326595-002" connects the TPU to the PC (Host).

Do not switch these two cables, even though they look identical they are not. The Host cable has a "null

modem" built in and is intended only for the Host connection.

To launch the program click on the box

beside the prompt "Yes, Launch the

program file", then click on the "Finish"

button.

Otherwise, to finish the installation without

launching the program, first remove disk #2

from the floppy drive in use, verify that all

other floppy drives (if present) are empty,

and then click on the "Finish" button.

In either case, the TPS

program icon will be visible

on the Windows desktop as

shown at right.
