Installation and Setup
2.1 Overview
This chapter provides information on installing ProLink II software, connecting to the transmitter, and
troubleshooting the installation or connection.
To install and set up ProLink II, the following steps are required:
1. Ensure required privileges (see Section 2.2)
2. Install the ProLink II software onto your PC (see Section 2.3)
3. Generate the temporary license (see Section 2.4)
4. Connect the wires between the PC and the transmitter (see Section 2.5)
5. Configure the connection and connect to the transmitter (see Section 2.6)
6. Obtain and configure a site key (see Section 2.7)
For troubleshooting information, see Sections 2.8 and 2.9.
2.2 Required privileges
Installation of ProLink II requires Administrator privileges. After ProLink II is installed, it can be run
by non-Administrator users.
2.3 Install the ProLink II software
To install ProLink II software:
1. Insert the ProLink II CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. If the setup program does not start automatically, locate and run the SETUP.EXE file. The file
is located in the root directory on the CD-ROM (e.g., D:\setup.exe, where “D” is your
CD-ROM drive letter).
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. If you have a previous version
of ProLink II installed on your PC, you may be prompted to remove it before installing the
new version.
Notes:
(1) The ProLink II site key is associated with a disk drive and specific folder on your PC. If you
decide to move ProLink II after installation, you will have to transfer the license and reinstall
ProLink II. To avoid this step, be sure to install ProLink II into a location that you can use
permanently.
