Before you begin 1 Before you begin Before you install the LMSmodular into your personal computer, there are three important facts that you should understand. 1. The LMSmodular program takes over your PC. This means that no other program can run on your computer after you have installed LMSmodular. The only exceptions are the Windows applications that were configured in LMS. The program does not allow the user to exit the LMSmodular environment.
Introduction 2 Introduction This manual contains all of the information required to successfully install the LMSmodular. The installation process is simple and straightforward. Be sure to read the three warnings on page one, Before You Begin. They explain the way in which LMSmodular takes exclusive control of the PC, the nature of LMSmodular copy protection based on the hardware protection key and on the associated Product Authorization Key (PAK).
Installation requirements 3 Installation requirements 3.1 Hardware required LMSmodular can be installed on a personal computer (PC) that is 100% IBM compatible. The computer must have the following attributes: 1) CPU: see Table 3.1 2) keyboard 3) 640 kilobyte (640K) RAM; at least 600 KB should be available for program loading 4) VGA with 256 color or more adapter and monitor - 1024 byte of memory 5) high density floppy disk drive configured as A: (3.5" 1.44 MB) - 2.
Installation requirements 3.2 Software requirements The hard disk drive has to be properly formatted. If you have not already formatted it, you must do so now following the instruction supplied in the DOS manual that comes along with the PC. LMSmodular can run with operating system MS-DOS versions 5.x or 6.x. It requires also that either Windows 3.1x or Windows for Workgroups 3.1x is installed.
Installation requirements 3.3.3 Virtual disk A virtual disk is a RAM portion used as if it were a hard disk. A virtual disk is by far faster than a hard disk and its use improves dramatically LMSmodular performance. For these reasons the virtual disk installation is strongly suggested. Refer to your DOS manual about how to install it. If you do not install a virtual RAM disk, LMSmodular will use a part of the hard disk to emulate it.
How to install LMS 4 How to install LMS If you have not already done so, read the warnings on page 1. Remember that once LMSmodular is installed, your computer will be dedicated to LMS, and you will not be able to use it for other purposes. As a matter of fact, LMSmodular will control the PC and it will let you do only what was configured by the LMS system manager. 4.
How to install LMS screen. The control returns to LMS when an event arises or the operator touches the mouse or the keyboard e1116c.doc Data and design subject to change without notice. Supply subject to availability © Copyright by CERBERUS AG, CH-8708 Männedorf, Switzerland 1995 06.
How to install LMS 6. Sound/Multimedia drivers The LMSmodular is not multimedia aware, and it just uses the default beep to alert the operator. You can however install and use a sound board to convert the default beep into a special message or sound. 7. Windows Setup, display adapter Configure the VGA board in such a way to use all its capabilities. For instance, if you have a 16 million color board set it up using Windows or OEM supplied drivers.
How to install LMS i) Automatic startup of LMSmodular When you are satisfied with the installation behavior, modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file uncommenting the following line • @REM \LMS2\GO that must become • @\LMS2\GO The installation procedure ends here. The PC is now completely controlled by LMSmodular, also in case of reboot. 4.2 Running the installation program To install LMSmodular package start Windows from the DOS prompt. The LMSmodular package is distributed on eleven diskettes.

How to install LMS The installation procedure starts and a dialog window is displayed: Fig. 4.3 You can stop the installation by clicking on Exit, or you can proceed by selecting Install. The installation procedure will copy the LMSmodular files on the hard disk, under the directory you specify in the following dialog box. Fig. 4.4 If there is a previous LMSmodular installation on the disk, you will be prompted to overwrite the existing files.
How to install LMS The PAK manager, a package described in detail in the LMSmodular User manual, is installed together with LMSmodular. When the installation is completed, two dialog boxes are show in sequence. The first informs you that the LMSmodular Tools group has been added to the Program Manager or it has been updated, if already existing. Fig. 4.5 and the second announces the successful completion of the installation procedure.
How to install LMS 4.3 Hardware key installation The hardware key can be installed on any PC parallel port. To install the hardware key: 1) Unscrew any device possibly connected to the PC parallel port 2) Insert the key in the PC parallel port; there is only one right position to do so. The key has on one side a female connector and on the opposite side a male connector. Insert the male connector into the female PC port.
How to install LMS 4.4 System startup Before running the LMSmodular software, reboot the PC. The modifications made by the installation procedure will become effective and the LMSmodular will be ready to run. To get LMS active type the following commands: CD\LMS2 GO 14 Data and design subject to change without notice.

Upgrading from previous version 5 Upgrading from previous version In order to avoid problems using LMSmodular 2.x with old installations EACH PREVIOUS DATABASE HAS TO BE CONVERTED. All LMS files of previous versions must be converted. In order to convert an existing LMS for DOS v. 2.3 or 2.4x installation or LMSmodular v. 1.x and v. 2.1 installation, the following steps have to be done: 1) Make a BACKUP of the historic files of the installation; to do that you should access in LMS v. 2.
How to remove LMS 6 How to remove LMS In LMS versions older than 2.42, the copy protection allowed only one installation of LMS from the disk. Now the copy protection is performed jointly by the hardware key and the PAK. You can freely duplicate LMSmodular disks, but remember that you can execute LMS only on a PC to which the hardware key is connected. All the LMSmodular packages running on PC without the hardware key will run in demo mode.
Serial printer installation 7 Serial printer installation To LMSmodular can be connected a serial printer. The printer can be connected to any COMx: port available using the cable shown in Fig. 5.1. The only exception is port COM1: that is assigned for the communications with the Gateway. When the printer DTR signal is not available, you can substitute it using either printer signal Busy if exists or a +12 V signal. The serial port parameters have to be configured on the PC by inserting in the AUTOEXEC.

Glossary 8 Glossary ACCESS LEVEL A number assigned to each operator. It is invisible to the operator, but the system matches the ACCESS LEVEL and security level to establish which activities should be available to the operator. AUTOEXEC.BAT A file that is automatically accessed when the computer is turned on. It sets up the operating environment in a way suitable for the application programs to be run. See also CONFIG.SYS. BATCH FILE A command file. It always has the suffix ".
Glossary HISTORICAL DATA Historical data are a set of information coming both from the system, such as logins, logouts, changes of operator, operator actions, etc. and from the field, such as abnormal values in the security devices (events), peripheral control unit reaction to operator activity, etc. INSTALLATION The procedure of transferring to hard disk the programs and data files of LMS and/or the configuration programs.
