Installing Lookout

This chapter explains how to install and configure the runtime Lookout

software.

This manual explains how to install, configure, and use the Lookout

runtime software. It assumes that you are already familiar with your

operating system.

Hardware and Software Requirements

Lookout requires the following:

• Pentium class PC running at 90 MHz or faster

• At least 32 MB RAM

• 45 MB free disk space, plus possibly 100 MB or more, depending on

how much data you intend to log to the Lookout database, Citadel.You

should also have about 50 MB of disk space for file swapping on

Windows NT computers.

• Windows 98/95 or Windows NT version 4 or later

• Network card and TCP/IP networking installed on the computers you

want to connect, if you intend to take advantage of Lookout

networking

Because Lookout can run 24 hours a day, your computer should have some

form of AC power surge protection. An uninterruptible power supply

(UPS) provides the ultimate protection. A UPS provides complete isolation

between the AC power source and the computer and has backup battery

power if there are blackouts and brownouts. A quality surge protector will

protect your computer from most electrical surges and spikes if you do not

need battery backup.

Lookout is Y2K compliant and requires no special considerations for the

year 2000.
