GE GFK-1004B Manuel D’Utilisation

This section describes the hardware requirements for running the GEnet System Manag-
er (GSM) software, and tells  you how to install the GSM on the hard disk of your per-
sonal computer.

Topics covered are:

H Hardware Requirements
H Installing the PC Network Interface Card (for Network GSM Operation)
H Installing the GEnet System Manager Software
H Setting-Up the DOS System Files

h For Local GSM Operation (Exclusively)
h For Network GSM Operation (or both Local and Network)

H Unusual Procedures
H Starting Up the GSM

LAN Interface Software is licensed separately from your LAN Interface hardware.  For
PLC LAN Interfaces, this software is provided in 3 1/2-inch double-density format;  for
CNC, 3 1/2-inch high-density diskette format only.  The GSM software is part of this
LAN Interface Software.

These diskettes do not contain the MS-DOS operating system.  You must boot your com-
puter from your hard drive or another diskette containing this operating system soft-
ware.

The following hardware is required in order to support the GSM software on the PC:

H PC Compatible, DOS Version 5.0 or later.
H RAM:  Minimum of 525,000 bytes  free (“largest executable program size” on DOS

MEM command).

H 2  MBytes of  free hard disk space.
H 3 1/2 inch double-density diskette drive (for CNC, 3 1/2-inch high-density also

supported).

H Color or monochrome monitor.
H For network GSM operation, an NDIS-compliant, 802.3/Ethernet card installed in the

PC.  A list of supported cards is shown in the next section.
