This section describes the required system hardware and software needed for installing ALPS-Link software
on your machine.
The minimum system configuration required to run ALPS-Link software is:
Personal Computer (PC) with an Intel 80386 or better processor with:
•
8 MB RAM
•
minimum 200 MB of free Hard Disk space
•
3.5", 1.44 MB Floppy Disk drive (or CD-ROM if using GE Products CD)
•
VGA / EGA or better display card and monitor
•
PC/AT keyboard
•
One or more RS-232 serial ports
•
One parallel port for printer
•
Mouse
•
Any printer supported by Microsoft Windows
•
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 3.1
The LPS-D relays can be connected to the host machine directly or through a dial-up modem. The LPS-D may
be connected directly to the hosts RS232 port; for connection via the LPS-D RS485 port, an RS485/RS232
converter is required. If you wish to connect to your LPS-D over a dial-up modem, the relays should be con-
nected as follows:
•
Each device must have its own modem.
•
A Code Operated Switch (COS) is attached to the modem and a number of devices are connected to the
multiplexor. If a device is on an RS485 line, a converter can be used between the device and the COS.
The printer is connected to the parallel port of the PC.
Before proceeding verify that your computer is working well and meets the requirements above.
Connect the printer to the parallel port of the PC. You may have to choose an appropriate printer driver using
the Windows Print Manager. For more details refer to the printer's installation manual.
It is assumed that the relay is installed and configured according to the Interface section of this instruction
book.
