Installing the Utility
2.1 Overview
This chapter guides you through the installation of the configuration utility for
your PLA-407.
The installation of the configuration utility does the following:
1
Checks for and installs Microsoft’s .NET Framework version 2.0 software on your
computer. This software is necessary for the installation of the PLA-4xx Series
Configuration Utility. If you already have .NET Framework version 2.0 installed
on your computer this step will be skipped.
Note: At the time of writing the utility is only compatible with Microsoft Windows XP,
Microsoft Windows Vista (32-bit version), MAC OS 10.4 and MAC OS 10.5
operating systems. Users with Windows XP (64-Bit version) operating systems
can go to Microsoft’s website to upgrade their systems to .NET Framework
version 2.0 so it can work with the utility. To check for your Windows operating
system version, right-click on My Computer > Properties. You should see this
information in the General tab.
