INSTALLING VUE-IT™

OS: Microsoft® Windows 3.1x, Windows 95, or Windows 98

Memory: 8MB RAM

Hard Drive: 5MB of available space (beyond swap file needs)

Disk Drive: 3.5 inch high-density

Monitor: 640X480, 256 color

Pointing Device: mouse or other Windows compatible pointing device

Identifying a Serial Port

The ISP-100 requires a serial port to communicate with the PC. You
must determine if you have a free 16550 serial port on the PC you intend
to use with the ISP-100. You can do this by looking at the back of the
computer for an empty 9-pin D-sub male (DB-9) or a 25-pin D-sub male
(DB-25) connector. If you are unable to find an available serial port, then
you must either disconnect a device from one of the ports that is
currently being used, or install an additional serial port.

If you are unfamiliar with this, please contact your local computer dealer
for assistance.

NOTE: It may be necessary to remove device drivers attached to serial
ports in Windows 95. A good example of this would be a device driver
for an external modem. This will eliminate the possibility of a software
conflict between the VUE-IT software and other device drivers.

Loading the Software

1. Close all programs before beginning installation.

2. Insert the disk labeled “VUE-IT FOR THE ISP-100” into your 3.5-inch
floppy drive.

3. Windows 95 users should click on the Start button and select Run.

4. Windows 3.1x users should click on File and select Run.

5. Type “A:\setup.exe” (Substitute the appropriate drive letter for your
system.)

6. Click on the OK button and follow the instructions as they appear on
the screen.

7. Reboot the computer.
