VistaNET Installation Minimum PC Requirements

Windows XP, 2000 (SP2+) or NT v4 (SP6a+)

Pentium III 300MHz e/w 256MB of RAM and 800MB HHD

RS-232 COM port (or USB 1.1 port)

VistaNET can be down loaded or installed from a CD(InstallShield simplifies program installation)

Web install (recommended) will install Microsoft .NET Frameworkversion 1.1 (approx 39 MB)

CD install contains the .NET framework (a network connection is notrequired)

Mandatory that VistaNET Beta Release is un installed (ifpreviously installed)

Recommended that all Critical Windows updates are installed

Slide 9-4

User login required for conf iguration changes

Al lows for s imul taneous configurat ion o f mul tiple data-points in the Unit View

Al lows Copy & Paste un it conf iguration (to /from units o fthe same type)

Provides Undo feature

Synchronization of user lists, name aliases, confighistory, licensing, alarms etc.

Al l VistaNET sessions synchronize their data so all usersare working off a common data file (Local Passport)

Enhanced Product Securit y Mandatory login, database tampering, Passport expiration

(continued)

Slide 9-8


86456-01 VistaNET Network Interface (VNI)

Remote Configuration capabilities for nodes visible through COM ports

Remote Monitoring & Configuration for nodes visibl e through Ethernet

Nodes visible through Ethernet are sharing data through a dist ributed peer topeer architecture

VNI is a local VistaNET service that can connect with r emote VistaNET services

Server functi onality is provided by IPSU or VSA (to be discussed later)

Full alarm engine for networks visi ble through COM ports or Ethernet (when serversare added)

Alarm eng ine f ilt ering (by un it type, node, ring, or w hole netw ork )

Open unit custom view from alarm tab

Aud ibl e tone fo r new alarms

Basic Inventory engine

Inventory Report at system level, or filtered by Node or Ring May be displayed and/or printed

GUI with System Map
