This information is located on the installation CDs, and on your machine following an installation.

8


System 1® Required Components

Database SoftwareThe System 1® Database software establishes and manages the database structure for a System 1® installation. The System 1® Database software can do this regardless of where the System 1® databases are located on the network. This is a required component of the System 1® platform.

The System 1® Installation CDs contain the configuration and historical databases for the sample database (also called the Demonstration Database). The installation CD also contains the System 1® Database Tools that allow users to perform utility operations on their System 1® databases.

The System 1® Database software should be installed on every computer that contains a configuration or historical database, on every computer that will be an SQL Server, and on every computer where you want the Demonstration Database or System 1® Tools to reside.

Except for stand-alone systems, the Database software is not required for computers that contain only the System 1® Configuration or Display software, unless these computers are also used for data archiving.

Data Acquisition SoftwareThe System 1® Data Acquisition software manages the transfer of data between the System 1® platform and external data providers and consumers. It prepares the data for storage in the database, for viewing onusing the Display software, and for use by System Extender™ Applications. Data Collection Modules (DCMs) can transfer data from external sources to the System 1® software. Data Exporters (e.g. OLE-Automation Exporter) can transfer data from the System 1® platform to external consumers.

The Data Acquisition software consists of two types of modules: Base Data Acquisition and Data Collector Modules (DCMs). Each module has specific functions.

As a user, you do not have access to the Data Acquisition software directly. An application called the Data Acquisition Connection Manager controls starting and stopping the Data Acquisition Software and the configuring the Data Acquisition server for data collection. The Data Acquisition Connection Manager (DACM) may reside on any computer that can access the computer where the Data Acquisition software is installed. This means that you could monitor the Data Acquisition process on a single computer from one or more other computer locations.

9


Base Data Acquisition:This module collects static and dynamic data from various sources and prepares it for storage and use by other System 1® modules. Some System 1® Data Acquisition functions include:

Ÿ Processing collected dynamic data and generating additional machine parameters including nX components, spectral bands, etc.

Ÿ Buffering data and change filtering

Ÿ Generating various software alarms

Ÿ Reporting hardware alarms

Ÿ Storing new data to databases

Ÿ Providing real-time and current value data for System 1® displays

Data Collector Modules:The System 1® Acquisition Software uses a Data Collector Module (also called a DCM) to collect data from various external data sources or data providers. For example, the System 1® platform requires a specific DCM type to collect data from a Snapshot™ for Windows® CE portable device.. The System 1® software would require another DCM type to communicate with a TDXnet™ Communications Processor.

DCMs are purchased as options to your System 1® Application Package. Discuss which DCMs and System 1® packages best suit your needs with your local Sales representative.

The following DCMs are currently available with the System 1® software offering:

Snapshot™ for Windows® CE DCM

3500 TDI Communication Processor DCM

10


3300 TDe Communication Processor DCM

TDXnet™ Communications Processor DCM

OPC (Ole for Process Control) DCM

NetDDE DCM

Trendmaster Dynamic Scanning Module DCM

Modbus® DCM

GE Standard Messages DCM

System 1® Application Program Interface DCM

As the System 1® platform adds additional hardware and software, new DCMs will be added to accommodate them.

Configuration SoftwareConfiguration is the process of assigning the parameters and values that define System 1® components and determine how they operate. During the configuration process, you enter parameters that describe which measurement points, variables, machines, and assets you are monitoring, where they are located, how they will be monitored, how you want to trend them, and what setpoint data values should trigger alarm notifications.

You may install the System 1® Configuration software on any computer that meets the minimum installation requirements. This software allows a user to build, edit, print, and view the configuration information for each System 1® Enterprise. Configuration software does not have to reside on the same computer as the configuration database(s).

In addition, you may use File-Based Configuration (FBC) clients to accomplish many of the same tasks available in the System 1® Configuration software.

Application Advisories:

When using the Configuration Software, the Enterprise configuration database is open and may be changing. To guarantee the integrity of the configuration parameters, only one person may change the database at a time. Others are limited to read-only access until the database is released.

Additionally, if you wish to view configuration parameters on a Display workstation, the Configuration software must be installed on that same workstation. This is also true for changing spectral band alarms while in the Display software.

11


Display SoftwareSystem 1® Display software may reside on any computer. This software connects to an Enterprise and displays real-time and historical data in a variety of formats, including plots, tabular lists, bar graphs, event lists, and machine train diagrams. The Display software can display, compare, trend, and print current and historical values.

A computer with System 1® Display software can connect to a maximum of 10 different System 1® Enterprises at the same time. These connections can be local (on the same computer), over a network, or via remote communications to other locations.

System 1® Management Console Server and ClientThe System 1® Management Console (SMC) allows you to manage and monitor the health of multiple System 1® Enterprises. An Enterprise requires only one SMC Server and an SMC Client can access multiple SMC Servers. The Enterprise Data Server and License Server are both configured through the SMC Client.

Enterprise Data ServerThe Enterprise Data Server acts as a communication link between many of the System 1® components and permits the File-Based Configuration (FBC) clients to communicate through a firewall. The Enterprise Data Server must be configured and running in order to configure licenses and view data. A single Enterprise Data server can manage communication for only a single Enterprise and only one Enterprise Data Server may reside on a computer. The Enterprise Data Server is configured from the System 1® Management Console Client.

License ServerA License Server must be assigned to an Enterprise before licenses can be applied. An Enterprise must be properly licensed and activated before it starts collecting data. A single License Server may be assigned to one or more System 1® Enterprises. The License Server is configured from the System 1® Management Console Client.

12


System Extender™ ApplicationsSystem Extenders enhance the use of System 1® software by adding advanced features or by allowing System 1® software to interface with other software applications. These extenders include all of the Data Exporters, the CMMS Interfaces, Smart Notifier, State-Based Analysis, Event Relay card software, and The Bearing Expert™ software. Decision Support™ Studio also provides another System Extender called Rule Logic Results.

Data ExportersData Exporters transfer real-time or historical data from the System 1® software to other hardware and software products. Always consult your local representative for the most current information concerning exporters and other System 1® components. Currently, the following exporters are available:

DDE/NetDDE Exporter

OPC Server

Trendmaster Pro DSM Modbus® Exporter

OLE Automation Exporter

The DDE/NetDDE Exporter uses Windows-based Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) protocol to send System 1® machinery values to other DDE/NetDDE compatible clients. System 1® software acts as a DDE/NetDDE Server. Microsoft® Windows-based software such as Excel®, Word®, and Access® can all act as DDE/NetDDE clients requesting machinery values from the System 1® DDE/NetDDE Exporter.

The OLE Automation Exporter uses Windows-based Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). This is a Microsoft protocol that defines a method of transferring data between applications The OLE Automation Exporter used with System 1® software uses this protocol to pass data from the System 1® application to other software applications.

The OLE Automation Exporter currently supports the Bently PERFORMANCE™ SE, and the export of System 1® data to Microsoft® Excel® 2000, or later, spreadsheet applications.

The OPC Server supports OLE for Process Control (OPC) standards and is a versatile exporter for many types of Data. OPC is a series of standards specifications that defines a

13


standard set of objects, interfaces, and methods for use in process control and other applications. The OPC Server is compatible with many industry OPC products.

The Trendmaster Pro DSM Modbus® Exporter transmits static data to as many as six third-party applications/hardware that function as Modbus clients.

Computerized Maintenance Management System The Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) interfaces directly with MAXIMO® or SAP® R/3 (up to and including the 4.7 release). Use this tool to link to plant assets, view work history, and create manual or automated work requests.

Smart NotifierThe Smart Notifier is a stand-alone application that filters and collects System 1® events. It provides automatic notification and viewing of these events to the responsible personnel specified for the machinery being monitored.

State-Based AnalysisState-based monitoring provides more sophisticated diagnostics of machines, with the ability to define machine states that can control data storage, filter plot data, and aid in correlating process data with machinery data.

Event Relay Card The Event Relay Notification component can trip a relay in response to an event of a specified type, severity, and asset location. The Decision Support Manager tool in the System 1® Configuration software allows you to create this type of notification plan. The System 1® Data Acquisition program can then communicate with the relay hardware when an event occurs.

The Bearing Expert™ The Bearing Expert™ software is a database application that allows the user to select bearing parameters based on manufacturer, model, or dimension of the bearing. The System 1® Configuration software can also import new bearing models into the database.

Rule Logic ResultsRule Logic Results is a broad term that encompasses all of the ways in which Decision Support™ rules can generate outputs (events, calculations, etc.) as results. The Decision Support software that you use to create these rules and results depends on the type of Rule Logic Result licenses that you purchase.

14


There are four ways to create rules and results:

1. Using RuleDesk™ Lite within the System 1® Configuration software

2. Using RuleDesk Pro in Decision Support Studio,

3. Using RuleDesk Developer in Decision Support Studio Developer’s Edition,

4. Using RulePaks™ (Advanced or traditional).

Discuss your specific needs with your local sales representative.

The System 1® Tools are displayed above as menu options from the System 1® Tools menu. To access the tools, select Start, Programs, Bently Nevada, System 1 Tools.

Software Utility Applications

The System 1® platform includes a set of software utility applications. These applications are support software and are installed (at operator request) during the installation process, on any computer within your System 1® application. They are launched and executed independently of any other System 1® software applications. Detailed instructions for using each tool are included in the System 1® Help.

1. Bently Manual Input (also called System 1® Manual Input) is a software product that allows a user to enter data directly into their System 1® Enterprise. You might want specific data, such as pricing and economic data, to be included in your System 1® database. Using the Bently Manual Input Tool, this data can be entered manually into the Enterprise historical database.

2. DSM Initialization is a utility that recognizes the Trendmaster Dynamic Scanning Module, or DSM. This application searches for DSMs on your system and verifies their location, addresses, and Trendmaster Interface Modules (TIMs). This is a

16


useful utility for new installations or for troubleshooting an existing installation containing DSMs.

3. DSM Modbus® Utility is used to configure the DSM (Dynamic Scanning Module) for Modbus operation. The DSM must have both a trending configuration and a Modbus configuration to collect Modbus data.

4. System 1® Database Tools are utilities that allow users to manage their SQL database files, including both the Enterprise Configuration and Historical database files. Using these tools, System 1® databases may be moved between computers, compacted, added to other workstations, and manipulated using many other operations.

5. System 1® Password allows you to change the passwords for your System 1® installation and guarantee your own security. This can be done after you have completely installed and verified of your System 1® software platform.

6. TDXnet Test Communication is used to verify communications between the System 1® workstation and the (initialized) TDXnet™ CPs.

7. Transient Data Manager Initialization is used to configure the TDXnet™ Communications Processors and the Field Monitor Interface Module (FMIM). You establish IP addresses, Keyphasor® transducer parameters, and other operating conditions of the TDXnet CP using this utility. Note that TDXnet CPs and FMIMs are configured only through this software interface. Run this initialization application before running the TDXnet Test Communication utility.

8. File Based Configuration Command Line Utility provides a convenient interface for running command line file-based configuration operations from a batch file.

System 1® Platform Examples

What Does a System 1® Installation Look Like?Many System 1® installations are similar to one another in their overall setup. For this reason, we have defined some best-practice installations that describe the most common System 1® platforms.

Local System. This refers to a stand-alone System 1® computer not networked to other System 1® computers.

Distributed Database Network System. This is a type of networked installation using two or more computers within the System 1® platform.

Centralized Database Network System. This is another type of networked installation within the System 1® platform.

Wide Area Network System. This is similar to a distributed system, but includes a firewall.

These are not the only System 1® installations available. System 1® software is very flexible and may be adapted to fit the specific requirements of most operations.

Contact your local Sales representative to help you design a System 1® platform for your machinery operations. You can also visit us on the World Wide Web at www.Bently.com.

Local SystemThis installation represents the minimum components required for a System 1® platform that utilizes a Snapshot™ data collector and a 3500 system.

A local System 1® installation requires that all software be installed on a single, stand-alone computer. This computer must be able to handle all the System 1® applications and data in a reasonable and timely manner.

19


This example has no system extenders, data exporters, or supplemental software installed. If any of these had been purchased, they would also be installed on the stand-alone computer.

It is important to plan your System 1® installation carefully, making sure that you accurately address your current and future machinery monitoring needs.

A Local Installation can be used for a minimal system, such at the one shown here, or for a maximum installation that includes other machinery data collection. For larger installations the computer will need to provide more disk storage, additional memory storage and faster processor speeds to monitor all of the data and information in a timely manner.

Distributed Database Network SystemA Distributed Database Network System has multiple historical databases residing on multiple computers. In many cases, an historical database will reside on the same Data Acquisition Server that collects data for that database (although this is not required).

Each ‘database’ has two database components – a configuration database component, and an historical database component. Each computer with an historical database must also have SQL Server software installed and operational to manage the database, as well as an association with a Data Acquisition computer. The configuration database must be located on computers/workstations where the SQL Server software has also been installed.

20


Each historical database is associated with a single configuration database. Because System 1® automatically locates the existing historical databases associated with a particular enterprise when the enterprise connection is made; you do not need to remember which databases are associated with which enterprises.

Any workstation in this Distributed Database Network example may have any System 1® software installed. The workstation acting as a Data Acquisition Server for the Snapshot™ portable data collector could also contain the System 1® Configuration and/or Display Software. Depending on licensing and the needs of the installation, many combinations of software, hardware, database structures, remote access, and network configurations are possible.

Optional System 1® software products, such as Decision Support™ and Bently PERFORMANCE™ SE, often specify that they must be installed on a particular computer or workstation type, or that they require a license key or other form of licensing before they can be activated. It is always best to make sure that you have all of the components needed to install your System 1® platform before you start building your installation, and that they are properly licensed.

21


License AgreementThe License Agreement for System 1® software, System 1® Extenders, and other platform products is available for review in several locations. Licenses for specific System 1® components depend on the System 1® product packages you have purchased.

You can find a current copy of the software license agreement in the following locations:

1. Displayed on your computer before installation.

2. In the About dialog in the Help drop-down menu of some applications.

Upgrading LicensesContact your Service Representative to upgrade your pre-6.0 licenses, or if you require additional licensing for your installation.

22

Section 3 — Installation

Section 2 - Installation

Creating a System 1® installation is an involved procedure. We strongly recommend that a qualified Service Representative perform the installation and verification of your System 1® platform. Their expertise assures a complete and operational installation.

The System 1® installation process can require the installation of many software applications. For network installations, an understanding of the functions of each server and workstation is necessary to make sure the correct software is installed. Use the following procedure for a first-time installation, for updating an existing installation, or for re-installing a single software application.

Instruction Refer to page...

1 Plan Your System 1® Installation 24

2 Verify Hardware and Software Requirements at each Server and Workstation 31

3 Install the System 1® Software 32

4 Verify the System 1® Installation 57

Once you have completed the installation and verification of your System 1® platform, refer to the System 1® Operation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12 to configure your Enterprise(s).

23


Planning Your System 1® InstallationWhether your System 1® installation is a single workstation (also called a local or stand-alone installation) or a networked installation with remote terminals and workstations in different locations, it is a good idea to plan ahead.

Each computer or workstation in a System 1® installation can have single or multiple functions. Different hardware and software are needed for each computer depending on the function of the computer within the System 1® platform.

Local InstallationFor a minimum or local System 1® installation, a single computer can have many functions:

Ÿ SQL Server

Ÿ Configuration Workstation

Ÿ Database Server

Ÿ Display Workstation

Ÿ Data Acquisition Server

Ÿ Enterprise Data Server

Ÿ System 1® Management Console

Ÿ License Server

24


Network InstallationFor a network installation, different computers on the network are used for one or more functions. The following example shows each type of System 1® computer. A description of each computer type and the hardware and software required for its use follows.

25


Enterprise Configuration Server:

This computer is primarily for database management and stores the databases for the System 1® platform. The presence of one or more Historical and/or Configuration databases requires that this computer also be an SQL Server.

We also highly recommend that the System 1® Management Console Server, Enterprise Data Server, and License Server be installed on this computer.

This computer requires the following hardware and software:

1. Minimum computer requirements for the Data Acquisition/Database Server (large system for most installations). Refer to page 31.

2. System 1® Database Software.

3. Microsoft Standard Edition or embedded SQL Server 2000 for installations prior to version 6.12. Microsoft Standard Edition SQL Server 2000 or 2005 is required for System 1 software version 6.12 and greater. Both versions have an embedded (called the Desktop Engine for SQL 2000 and the Express Edition for SQL 2005) version that is available on the System 1® installation CD-ROM.

The embedded version is suitable for use with System 1® installations that collect data from portable data collectors, but limits the size of the historical database for all the points to 2 GB (4 GB for the 2005 Express Edition). If you need more than 2 GB (4 GB for the 2005 Express Edition) of space for the historical database use the Standard Edition. The Standard Edition SQL Server software is required for online monitoring System 1® installations and is available as a purchased option.

4. The proper number of SQL Server Client Access Licenses (CALs). One license is required for each computer that accesses a SQL Server.

5. System 1® Management Console (SMC) Server.

6. Enterprise Data Server.26


7. License Server.

Data Acquisition Server:

This computer collects and transmits data for System 1® software. It collects data from various hardware and software devices using one or more Data Collector Modules (DCMs).


1. Minimum computer requirements for the Data Acquisition/Database Server. (See page 30.)

2. System 1® Data Acquisition Software.

3. A DCM for each hardware device that communicates with this server.

4. Decision Support™ (optional).

Data Acquisition Server / Historical Data Server:

This Data Acquisition Server collects data from the various hardware and software components and stores the data in an Historical database. This particular Data Acquisition Server is shown connected to a Snapshot™ for Windows® CE data collector. Other Data Acquisition Servers could be used to collect data from online monitoring hardware, System

27


Extenders, or other devices. Every installation has at least one ‘default’ Data Acquisition Server, and this server must be the one configured for portable data collection.

This computer is used as a Data Acquisition Server and as an Historical Data Server (as a result of the presence of an Historical database).

The hardware and software requirements are the same as those shown for the Data Acquisition Server, with the following additions:

1. RS-232 serial communication port on the computer. In general, one of the COM ports available on most computers can be used. This port is required only if you are collecting data with the Snapshot™ data collector or other designated portable data collector. You may also connect Snapshot™ data collectors via an Ethernet network connection.

2. Snapshot™ DCM with licenses installed for the appropriate number of points (2000, 5000, 10000, 20000). Snapshot™ points are additive. These licenses are required only if you are collecting data with the Snapshot™ data collector or other portable data collector.

Example

Two 2000-point licenses would include capabilities for 4000 Snapshot ™ DCM-configured points, regardless of the number of Snapshot™ units in use.


4. Microsoft Standard Edition or embedded SQL Server software 2000 for System 1 versions prior to 6.12. Microsoft Standard Edition or Express Edition SQL 2000 or 2005 software for System 1 version 6.12 and greater. You may use the embedded version of SQL Server included on the System 1® Installation CD-ROM if your data collection is limited to portable data collection of 2000 points or less.

5. Microsoft® ActiveSync™ 3.1+ (required for use with the Snapshot™ data collector and for other portable data collection). The System 1® Installation CD includes this software.

6. Any other DCMs required to support other data collection hardware and software defined for this server, such as DDE or online monitoring.

28


System 1® Workstation (Display):

A System 1® Workstation can have one or more functions. This example is used for System 1® Display Software. As a Display workstation, the computer can connect to a locally configured Enterprise or it can connect to an unlimited number of Enterprises on a network and display data from up to 10 Enterprises simultaneously. A Display workstation is independent and is not tied to a specific Enterprise configuration, a specific Data Acquisition server, or a specific System 1® platform. This computer requires the following hardware and software:

1. Minimum computer requirements for the System 1® Workstation.

2. System 1® Display Software.

3. Microsoft Standard Edition or embedded SQL Server software 2000 for System 1 versions prior to 6.12. Microsoft Standard Edition or Express Edition SQL 2000 or 2005 software for System 1 version 6.12 and greater. You may use the embedded version of SQL Server included on the System 1® Installation CD-ROM (if this workstation is used to read archived data).

System 1® Workstation Display/Configuration:

29


This System 1® Workstation can display the machinery data from an Enterprise, and can configure an Enterprise database for a System 1® installation.

This computer requires the hardware and software described for the System 1® workstation with the following additions:

1. System 1® Configuration Software.

2. System 1® Display Software.

Historical Data Server:

This server collects and stores historical data. The Historical database on this station may be used exclusively by the Snapshot™ PDC (Portable Data Collector) or it may be used by a variety of hardware and software data collection products.


1. Minimum computer requirements for the Data Acquisition Server (small or large system depending on the number of points in the Historical database).


3. System 1® Data Acquisition Software.

4. Microsoft Standard Edition or embedded 2000 or Server software 2000 for System 1 versions prior to 6.12. Microsoft Standard Edition or Express Edition SQL 2005 software for System 1 version 6.12 and greater.

You may use the embedded version of SQL Server included on the System 1® Installation CD-ROMMicrosoft standard edition or embedded SQL Server 2000. The embedded version is available on the System 1® Installation CD-ROM. The embedded edition may only be used on installations collecting portable data when there are 2000 or fewer points AND when data storage needs are less then 2 Gigabytes (4 Gigabytes if using SQL Server 2005) of data.

30


Hardware and Software RequirementsEach type of computer in a System 1® installation must satisfy minimum hardware and software requirements. The best practice requirements are described here, along with notes about the use of each computer. Because hardware and software are continuously changing, it is important to verify your computer selections with your local Bently Nevada Representative to guarantee you have the latest information. You may also view system specification on the worldwide web at www.bently.com.

Different computer configurations have been defined System 1® platform:

System 1® Workstation (also called the Configuration/Display workstation)

Mid-range Data Acquisition/Database Server

End User High Performance Data Acquisition Platform

This section explains hardware specifications for these computers along with the possible uses that these workstations would accommodate. It is important for you to select the right workstation for the functions it will be performing. Remember that computer specifications are constantly changing and the best resource to identify your needs is your local Sales Representative.

System 1® Workstation:A System 1® Workstation could be used as:

A Display only computer

A Configuration only computer

A Display and Configuration computer

A Data Acquisition/Database computer for a small System 1® installation (Snapshot™ for Windows® CE or other portable data collection with 2000 or fewer points)

Mid-range Data Acquisition/Database Server Workstation: These systems are recommended for larger network installations when multiple computers will be using different System 1® software. The difference between the large and small systems is the difference between a single processor and a dual processor. The dual processor supports simultaneous processing so that the server computer can accommodate multiple tasks more effectively. This ensures faster access and optimal System 1® operation. Hardware and software requirements for System 1® workstations will change as the System 1® product changes and grows. It is better to buy the best workstation you can afford, make sure that you can upgrade any products you buy, and that the products are compatible with other components in your installation.

31


Installing System 1® SoftwareIf you are installing all or part of the System 1® software remotely (you are at one terminal and the software is at another), the installation requires that you Map Network Drive to the CD-ROM drive or location of the software before proceeding with the installation.

Sharing the CD-ROM Drive will not work without mapping a drive to the share. You can map the drive from inside the Windows Explorer by selecting Tools, Map Network Drive and then browsing to the appropriate computer and folder of the installation software.

Prerequisites for System 1® Software InstallationThe System 1® Software requires several hardware and software applications to be installed and operational on the computer workstation. During installation the System 1® installation program will verify that the prerequisite software is present for the System 1® components that you are installing. The installation program will then indicate which prerequisites will be installed. In general, many of these prerequisites will be installed from Disc 1 of the System 1® software. However, there are some instances where you may be asked to install certain prerequisites yourself. This is usually due to licensing considerations from third party vendors or prerequisite licensing that you must already own to be able to install the software. The current requirements include:

Internet Explorer 5.01The Internet Explorer Browser is used to access online Help and various Internet sites. If Internet Explorer is not present, or if the version is not 5.01 or greater, it is installed from the System 1® software CDs.

MDAC 2.8 This is an application called Microsoft Data Access Component (MDAC). SQL Server software and the System 1 software use this application to aid in the management of databases. If MDAC is not present, version 2.8 is installed from the System 1® software CDs.

TCP/IP CommunicationsThis communications protocol must be installed on the Database workstation. The presence of TCP/IP communications is verified by registry entries, not by actual communications testing. The correct operation of this protocol in a network setting should be verified independently of the System 1® software.

32


SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (5.0 through 6.+ versions of System 1 software)

Either the Standard Edition or the embedded edition must be installed. If SQL Server is not installed, you may install the embedded version from the System 1® installation CD or you may exit System 1® installation and install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 4 (see SQL Server on page 37). The software may be purchased from Bently Nevada with your System 1® Software, or it may be purchased from another vendor. In either case, it is important that you purchase the Standard Edition for a Windows Server computer and ensure that you are properly licensed for your installation.

SQL Server 2005 (for System 1 versions 6.12 and greater) (SQL Server 2000 may be used with System 1 version 6.12, but SQL Server 2005 should only be used for System 1 versions 6.12 or greater)

Either the Standard Edition or the embedded edition (Express Edition) must be installed. If SQL Server is not installed, you may install the embedded version from the System 1® installation CD or you may exit System 1® installation and install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005 (see SQL Server on page 37). The software may be purchased with your System 1® Software, or it may be purchased from another vendor. In either case, it is important that you purchase the Standard Edition for a Windows Server computer and ensure that you are properly licensed for your installation.

Note: SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 may be used with versions 5.0 through 6.+ of the System 1 software. However you may lose access to your data file if you switch from SQL version 2005 to version 2000. Upgrading from version 2000 to version 2005 will not affect your database access.

Microsoft SQLXML 3.0This is an exporter program that allows System 1® to quickly export XML formatted data from SQL databases.

Windows XP Service Pack 1 (for Windows XP operating systems)This is an upgrade for the Windows XP operating system. System 1® non-server software can operate on Microsoft® Windows XP with Service Pack 1. The Data Acquisition Server software requires the Windows Server 2003 operating system.

33


Windows 2000 Service Pack 4The System installation program checks the operating system for installation of Service Pack 4. If the service pack not present, you will be prompted for permission to install the missing service pack. System 1® will install the required service pack and then proceed with the System 1® software installation.

Optimize SQL Server Memory Usage (SQL 2000 only)When the SQL Server software is left in its default installation mode it dynamically allocates memory usage. This means that SQL expands its memory usage until there is virtually no memory available for other applications to use. If memory usage is optimized, System 1® will calculate the total amount of memory available and allocate a minimum of 128 Kbytes and a maximum of 50% of the total computer memory for SQL. This allows a more even distribution of memory resources at the workstation.

Note: If you elect NOT to optimize the SQL Server Memory usage, be aware that you could experience delays in collecting and processing your System 1® data.

.NET Framework version 1.1 and Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1This is a programming infrastructure created by Microsoft for building, deploying, and running applications and services, such as desktop applications and Web services, that use .NET technologies. .NET Framework is required to install System 1® API, Data Acquisition, and Web Display. If this framework is not installed on your system, the System 1® Installation program will add it as part of the install process.

.NET Framework version 2.0Required for System 1 version 6.12 and greater or any installations using Microsoft SQL 2005. This is a programming infrastructure created by Microsoft for building, deploying, and running applications and services, such as desktop applications and Web services that use .NET technologies. .NET Framework is required to install System 1® API, Data Acquisition, and Web Display. If this framework is not installed on your system, the System 1® Installation program will add it as part of the install process. There are some incompatibilities with .NET 2.0 and Web Display software. See the Web Display installation instructions for more information.

Java Virtual Machine (VM) This is a Java interpreter and runtime environment required to run compiled Java code. CMMS bridge installations require JavaVM. If this interpreter is not installed on your system, the System 1® Installation program adds it as part of the install process.

34

signed on as an Administrator or as someone with administrative privileges. on page 42 for more information.)

2. System 1® Password – Following installation and verification of the System 1® platform, the System 1® software allows (and encourages) users to change the System 1® Administrative password to secure their installation.

3. Processes Shutdown – All System 1® software processes that have a user interface must be shut down. This includes Configuration, Display, etc.

4. Services Stopped – These are services started by System 1® software. In most case, these services don’t have a user front-end interface and must be stopped through other methods. If services are currently executing, the System 1® software installation cannot continue and System 1® software installations do request permission to stop these services. The services will automatically be restarted, as necessary, when System 1® software applications are launched.

Application Advisory:

For existing System 1® installations, the continual operation of services is required to correctly collect data and issue alarms, relays, and notifications. Terminating these services may result in lost data and missed alarms.

Before you stop services to install software on an existing System 1® computer, verify the interruption of System 1® operations will not compromise the management of the machines or assets in your plant.

5. Minimum Color Setting – The video monitor on your computer must support 16-bit color video (65536 colors).

6. Minimum Screen Resolution – Any computer workstation executing System 1® software requires a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768.

SQL Server A fully functional System 1® installation requires Microsoft® Structured Query Language (SQL) Server software. The System 1® software uses this language to manage all databases.

37


The embedded edition of Microsoft SQL Server software from the System 1® Installation CDs is properly licensed for distribution with the System 1® software. If you are using any of the other editions, please verify you have the proper licensing.

SQL Server Installation

This software must be installed on every computer that contains a System 1® database, including both the historical and configuration databases. System 1® Installation CDs include an embedded version of the software.

You may order the Standard Edition of SQL Server as an add-on to the System 1® Database Software. If you are using the Standard Edition of SQL Server, we recommend that you install this server before you install your System 1 platform.

The Embedded Edition of the SQL Software may be installed on any computer in a System 1® installation, including Microsoft® Windows 2000/2003 Servers and Windows 2000/XP Workstations. The Standard Edition of SQL can only be installed on a computer running the Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 Server operating system.

All System 1 installations prior to version 6.12 are designed to use Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 4. System 1 version 6.12 and greater are designed to run with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Installation information for both installations is included here.

However, any System 1 Installation that used SQL 2000 may upgrade to SQL 2005, and any System 1 software installation (including 6.12 and greater) may continue to use the SQL 2000 Server software.

Administrator Logon - New Local Account

The Windows Operating Systems require you to log on as an administrator or as a user with full administrative privileges to perform most of the procedures required for a System 1® installation.

Application Advisory:

Security management within System 1 software can be complicated. The Windows operating systems, Microsoft SQL Server, and System 1 software all require security privileges. This installation tries to simplify this process by providing you with a procedure that works and allows you to operate your System 1 installation with minimum established security.

As you become familiar with the operation of System 1 applications and the different types of access (both through the System 1 software and the Windows operating system), we encourage you to take the time to plan your system security to best meet the needs of your operation.

For more detailed information, refer to the Security Manager topic in the Configuration Book of the online Help.

New Local Account:We highly recommend that the Database Server be installed first in any System 1® installation, as a System 1® installation requires the addition of a new local account on the Database Server computer. The System 1® installation automatically creates this account during installation without notifying the user. However, the new local account name - SYSTEM1ADMIN - appears in the operating system Account Manager. Do not remove this account, as System 1® uses it to establish communications between System 1® components.

The installation software creates this account with administrative privileges. Do not remove this account or change its privileges. Once your System 1® installation is complete, you may (and should) change the password for this account and the SQL Server account to meet your security standards.

New Local Group:A System 1® installation requires the addition of a new local group on the Database Server computer. System 1® automatically establishes this group during installation

46


without notifying the user. The new local group name - SYSTEM1GROUP - appears in the operating system Account Manager. Do not remove this group as certain services operate within it.

A Local Account and a Local Group are only recognized by the computer on which they are established. Neither of these will affect your existing computer operation.

Note: After you have installed and verified your System 1® operation, you have the opportunity to change the password for the SYSTEM1ADMIN account and the SQL Server account to better secure your operation.

System 1® Installation Procedure

Installation overviewThe major steps involved in installing the System 1® platform:

1. Log on to the computer as an Administrator or as a user with full administrative privileges.

2. Insert the first installation CD. If the installation program does not start automatically, start it manually launching setup.exe..

3. Read the license agreement and select the directory where you want to install the System 1 software.

4. Choose to either upgrade an existing version of the System 1® installation or to add new components (this is also the selection for a new installation).

5. Select the System 1® components that you wish to install or upgrade. The list of components displayed depends upon the type of installation option (add or upgrade) chosen earlier.

6. A list of prerequisites is displayed. Any unchecked prerequisites must be installed before any System 1® software can be installed. Most of the prerequisites will launch their own installation from the prerequisite discs. Each time one is installed, you will need to restart the System 1® installation program (starting at step 2) to launch the next prerequisite.

7. After all of the prerequisites have completed, the System 1 installation will continue. Following the System1 installation (it can take 30 minutes to a few hours depending on your requirements), restart the computer. If you are not prompted to restart, do it manually. We recommend a full power down and power up before launching the System 1 software following an installation or upgrade.

47


Detailed Steps for System 1® Installation

An installation of the System 1 version 6.12 software should be made over an existing installation (if one exists). Do not uninstall any System 1 components. Also, before installing version 6.12 over an existing installation, make sure you have upgraded you SQL Server software to 2005.

Note: System 1 software version 6.12 will operate with SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 or with SQL Server 2005. If SQL Server 2000 is already installed, it is not necessary to install or upgrade to SQL Server 2005 before installing the System 1 software.

1. Log onto the computer as the administrator or as a user with full administrative privileges.

Logging onto the installation computer as a user without administrative privileges may cause problems with Windows Operating System, SQL Server, and/or System 1® security. It is important to have full administrative privileges throughout the System 1® software installation process.

2. Exit any software applications, especially any Bently Nevada applications currently running on the computer.

Insert the System 1® Installation Disc 1 into the CD drive of the computer. Double-click or run the setup.exe program.

3. The complexity of the System 1 software requires it to be installed by a qualified and certified installer. Select Yes if you are certified for this product. Select No to exit the installation.

21. At the end of a new installation, you will be prompted to optimize the SQL Server memory usage setting (for SQL 2000 installations only).

55


22. When the SQL Server software is left in its default installation mode, it dynamically allocates memory usage. This means that SQL will expand its memory usage until virtually no memory remains for other applications to use. If you select Yes to the question, the System 1® software will calculate the total amount of memory available and then allocate up to 50% of the total computer memory to be used by SQL. A minimum of 128 Kbytes is required. This allows a more even distribution of memory resources at the workstation.

of installation to perform:

If you select Note: If you elect NOT to optimize the SQL Server Memory usage, be aware that you could experience delays in collecting and processing your System 1® data.

23. If you are using a portable device, set up the portable interface.

1. Restart the computer manually if it does not reboot automatically after completion of the installation.

56


Guidelines for Updating Your Software

Updating Demonstration and Enterprise DatabasesIf you are upgrading your System 1® software from an earlier version, you will need to update both your current Enterprise databases and Demonstration databases for them to be compatible with the updated version of the System 1® application. You will be given the opportunity to update your databases during this installation process. However, due to the large amount of time required for this update process, we recommend that you update your databases after your installation is completed. Use the Database Tools to update or perform other utility functions on your existing System 1® databases.

Updating Database SoftwareDatabase Software updates may be installed without removing earlier versions of the same software. If you remove an earlier version of the Database Software you will also be removing the current registry entries for your Enterprise database files. These can be restored later using the Database Tools utility software.

57

Section 4 -- Verification

Section 3 – VerificationIt is important to check your System 1® installation at this time. The verification process uses the Demonstration database (included with your System 1® software) and allows you to verify that the various System 1® modules can communicate with each other and with the SQL Server. The basic verification process will ensure that:

1. The System 1® Management Console Server is correctly installed and accessible to the System 1® Management Console Client.

2. The Enterprise Data Server is correctly installed and can run.

3. The License Server is correctly installed and evaluation licenses can be assigned to the Demonstration Enterprise.

4. The Configuration Software is correctly installed and is capable of connecting to a Demonstration Enterprise Configuration database.

5. The Demonstration Enterprise Configuration database can be modified to specify the location of the Demonstration Historical database and the Data Acquisition computer.

6. The Data Acquisition Software is correctly installed and can be linked to the Demonstration Enterprise Configuration and Historical databases.

7. The System 1® Display Software is correctly installed and can:

a. Connect to the Demonstration Enterprise Configuration database

b. Communicate with the System 1® Data Acquisition Software

c. Retrieve current status, current values, and historical data from the System 1® Data Acquisition Software and the Demonstration Historical database.

Note: The Verification Procedure must be executed in the order presented. Several steps in the Configuration Verification section will prepare the installation to allow you to successfully verify the System 12® software.

Note: Not all of the System 1® applications and interfaces are tested with this verification process. Individual applications are explained and demonstrated in the online Help system for the System 1® platform. Use the information from Help to configure and execute additional software applications, exporters, importers and interfaces.

59


Demonstration DatabaseTo help you verify and familiarize yourself with your System 1® installation, the System 1® software provides a demonstration Enterprise. To use this feature, you must select the Demonstration database when you select the System 1® components that you want installed.

You may make changes to the Demonstration database, and are encouraged to use it to view features and functions of the System 1® software. System 1® will keep any changes saved to the Demonstration database as part of the Demonstration database.

The Demonstration Database is called DemoVersionX, where X represents the current release of the software. Two databases are necessary: the DemoVersionX Configuration database (named DemoVersionX_Config), and the Historical Database (named DemoVersionX_Historical).

Verify System 1® Management Console Installation

This verification includes setting up the System 1® Management Console Server, the Enterprise Data Server, the License Server, and adding evaluation licenses to the DemoVersion60 enterprise. Normally, a new System 1® Enterprise would have been created prior to setting up these System 1® components, but this has already been done in the DemoVersion60 enterprise.

1. On the System 1® Management Console (SMC) server computer, open the System 1 Management Console Configuration utility program from the Start, Programs, Bently Nevada, System 1 Tools menu.

Notes and Considerations

Licensing Considerations

Client Access License for Microsoft SQL Server:It is important to have the proper licensing for each computer in your System 1® platform. A Client Access License (also called a CAL) is required for any computer that communicates with an SQL server. This licensing may be purchased either bundled or individually from Bently Nevada, or may be part of a separate purchase agreement or contract with Microsoft corporation.

System 1® Licensing:System 1® licensing requires that you read the agreement when you install the software products. You CANNOT ACCEPT the licensing without scrolling through the text and ACCEPTing the terms and conditions. Read the conditions carefully.

2 Verify Hardware and Software Requirements at Server and Workstation 83

3 Install the System 1® Web Display Server Software 85

4 Setup the Web Display Server 86

5 Setup a Web Display Client 96

System 1® Web Display Software can be accessed on any workstation, laptop, or computer and used to access a System 1® Enterprise. This web-based application uses the Internet or Intranet capabilities of Microsoft Internet Explorer software and .NET framework to allow you to access data values within the System 1® platform.

Microsoft® .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies for connecting information, people, systems, and devices. It enables a high level of software integration through the use of Web services—small, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other as well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.

Incompatibilities between .NET™ Framework 2.0 and System 1® Web Display (all versions) may cause problems with your Web Display operation. Complete instructions to work around this problem are documented in the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Bently Nevada\Web Display folder.

This feature can be extremely useful to operations, maintenance, diagnostics, and other personnel because it gives them the information they desire without requiring them to install all of the components necessary for a System 1® Display workstation. It also does not require them to be a member of the Enterprise Domain of the System 1® software, nor even a group user within the System 1® platform.

If you have the proper security to access a System 1® platform, AND you have Internet or Intranet access via a network, modem, high-speed cable, wireless, or other connection, then you have the necessary components for using Web Display to view System 1® data values.

81


Plan System 1® Web Display Server InstallationIn most cases the Web Display Server is a separate computer from the one on which the System 1® Data Acquisition software is installed. This server must have access to the Data Acquisition software and to the System 1® Database(s) for the Enterprise(s) you will access using the Web Display software.

In installations where clients do not connect to servers through the Internet the Web Display Server can also be the Data Acquisition Server. But for installations where clients connect to servers through the Internet, the Web Display Server and DAQ Server should be separate computers for security reasons.

This graphic shows several different types of communications that may be used with the Web Display software.

82


Verify Hardware and Software Requirements at Server and Workstation

Hardware RequirementsNote that the minimum System 1® hardware requirements will not ensure that the System 1® software will operate properly. Bently Nevada recommends specific computers that have been tested with System 1® and meet its requirements for capacity, speed, and reliability.

Guidelines for Selecting a Server or WorkstationIf the recommended computers are not purchased, there is a minimum requirement for the System 1® workstation. Using non-standard computers introduces the risk that System 1® may not operate correctly.

Hardware ConsiderationsThe Web Display performance is largely affected by connection speed. The data in all of the plots, graphs, and other displays are updated as fast as the connection speed allows. Connection speed depends on such factors as network traffic, number of Web Display clients, and network hardware.

Install the System 1® Web Display Server Software

If Web Display Clients will be accessing the Web Display Server through the Internet, we recommend installing the Web Display Server on a different computer than the one on which the System 1® Data Acquisition (DAQ) is running. After selecting a computer that meets the minimum hardware requirements, follow these steps to install the Web Display Server.

Installation Steps Details

1. Install Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS).

a. Locate the Operating System installation media.

b. Run the installation for adding Windows Components.

c. Select the Internet Information Services (IIS) component.

d. Complete the installation.

2. Install System 1® Web Display Server. a. Run the System 1® installation.

b. Select the Web Display Server. Note: Select only the Web Display Server for installation if this is a separate installation. i.e. a standalone client.

c. Install prerequisite software. The .NET framework is required before the Web Display Server can be installed.

d. Complete the installation for Web Display Server.

3. Set up the Web Display Server. At the end of the Web Display Server installation,

you will be asked if you want to create a Web Enterprise. See the Web Server Setup section for more details.

85


Setup the Web Display ServerThe following steps describe how you can set up a Web Display Enterprise Server that supplies data from a System 1® Enterprise to Web Display clients. Many of these steps are required when a new user is added to the system.

Create a Web EnterpriseYou can create a new Web Display Enterprise with the Web Display Enterprise Creation Utility. Launch this utility after you complete the Web Display Server installation. At any other time, the Web Display Enterprise Creation Utility can also be accessed from the System 1® Tools menu via the Start, Programs menu.

This utility creates the files and folders for a Web Display Enterprise from a System 1® Enterprise. Specify a System 1® Enterprise and then click the Create a New Enterprise button to create the files and folders that make up a Web Display Enterprise.

86


If an SQL Server has been installed, you can simply Browse for the existing Enterprise configuration database and obtain the identifying information automatically.

Note: If the properties of your System 1® Platform do not match the information you type in, you will need to use this utility again to make appropriate changes the Web Display Enterprise.

Add or Remove Web Display Users in System 1® EnterpriseBefore any user can log on to the Web Enterprise, the administrator must add user accounts via the Security Manager. User accounts can be added and removed from the Security Manager as needed. The Security Manager is a tool that is accessed from System 1® Configuration. The following instructions explain how to add a user account for the Web Display.

1. Select Security Manager... from the Tools menu in System 1® Configuration.

2. Select the Users tab.3. Clear the Windows® Authentication checkbox. This means that the user will access

the System 1® Enterprise by a method OTHER than through Windows.4. Type the User Name and Password for the user account.5. Click the Add User button. This will add the user account to the System 1® Users

list.

87


Note: Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration before you close and exit from the Security Manager. This must be done before the newly added Web Display users are allowed to access the Web Enterprise. When a new user is added, you will need to wait for the period specified by the DAQ Polling Interval before the user is able to log in.

Add User Groups to System 1® EnterpriseAdding Groups is one method of organizing user accounts that have the same access rights. It also simplifies the process of changing user access rights. Instead of changing the access rights for each individual user account, the access rights for a group of users can be changed once. It is helpful to create groups for your Web Display user accounts.

1. Select Security Manager... from the Tools menu in System 1® Configuration.

88


2. Select the Groups tab.

3. Click the Add button.4. Type in a name for the group.5. Click OK.6. Move user accounts from the System 1® Users list into the group. They should be

shown in the Members of Group list.

89


Note: Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration before you close and exit from the Security Manager. This must be done before the newly added Web Display users are able to access the Web Enterprise.

Assign Access Rights to Web Display Users in the System 1® EnterpriseEach Web Display user account that is added has the access right that allows the users (who belong to the User Account) to View Software Configuration and View Data. This access right allows them to view data, alarms, and events with Web Display. It does NOT permit them to acknowledge the alarms and events or make changes in the Journal Editor. In order to acknowledge alarms and events, you must give them the Acknowledge Alarms/Events right or include them into a group that has this right enabled. To add, remove, or modify journal entries in the Journal Editor, a user account needs the Edit Software Configuration access right. None of the other access rights are applicable to Web Display user accounts.

90


The following graphic shows a group called "Plant Operators" selected in the Users/Groups list. This group has been given both the View Software Configuration and View Data and the Acknowledge Alarms/Events access rights. Any user added to this group acquires the same access rights as those for the group.

Note: Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration before you close and exit from the Security Manager. This must be done before the newly added Web Display users are able to access the Web Enterprise.

When new access rights are assigned, you will have to wait for the period specified by the DAQ Polling Interval before the access rights can take effect.

Set the Web Page Security for Web Display Users with the Page Security Manager.

91


Each web page on the Web Enterprise site has its own security settings. An Information Technology (IT) or Network Administrator should extablish these security settings when the Web Server is first set up.

In the following example, the Page Security Manager and Profile Manager pages have been selected. Clicking the Configure Security For Selected Page(s) button opens a dialog that allows the Administrator to grant or deny access to this selected page for every individual user that has been established for this Web Enterprise installation.

Page Security User AccessThis dialog allows you to determine which user accounts can access the web pages that are listed at the top of the screen. Click the Configure Security For Selected Page(s) button in the Page Security Manager to display this dialog. The user accounts that are shown in the All Users list are users that you added to the Enterprise configuration database using the Security Manager Tool in the System 1® Configuration application.

In this example, the Administrator has chosen the Allow Selected Users option. This option allows specific users to access the pages listed at the top of the screen. To specify

92


users from the All Users list, select them, and click the right arrow button [>] to move them to the Selected Users pane on the right. Click the Submit button to save the changes.

Note: If you select either of the “…Selected Users” options, the default settings for this page will allow/deny access to the list of Selected Users that you specify. Any new user accounts that you add to the Enterprise configuration database in the future will have the OPPOSITE of this access – since they were not among the Selected Users that you originally specified.

Set Preferences for a Group of Users with the Profile Manager

The Profile Manager allows an Administrator or other Manager to create groups of users and set the preferences for them. This includes the Partitioning Preference that determines the parts of the Enterprise that members of the profile may view by default.

To add a new profile for a group of users:

1. Type in a name for the profile in the edit field.2. Click the Add New Profile button. The profile is added to the list of profiles.3. Click the Add/Remove Users link. This link launches a page that allows you to add

users to the profile.

93


After you identify the users for a profile, a preferences page is displayed. Edit the preferences and set the partitioning preferences to determine those parts of the Enterprise that the users in the profile should be able to see.

Profile Add/Remove UsersUse this dialog page to determine which user accounts are a part of the selected profile. Move user accounts from the All Users list to the Current Members of Profile list to add them to or remove them from the profile. After you do this, click the Configure Profile button at the bottom to set the preferences for the profile.

Note: When you add a user to a profile, that user will be removed from any previous profile.

94


Profile PreferencesThe options in the Profile Manager Configuration page are identical to those in an individual user’s Preferences Manager page except for four additional check box options. If any of these options are checked and a user in the profile changes these preferences, the users will no longer be a part of the profile. This allows the Administrator to enforce users’ access rights to data.

Verify Web Display Client Access.This step, although very simple, is also very critical. If your end-users are not able to access their Web Display Enterprise for ANY reason, it will seem that the entire process has failed – even if it is for something as simple as their computer not having the Microsoft .NET framework software installed.

Ensure that the client computers have the required software.

Note: Users without the .NET framework will be forwarded automatically to the Prerequisites Download page.

The Microsoft .NET framework is available as a free download from the Internet. You can also install it from the Prerequisite Download page.

Verify that client computers can successfully log on to the Web Display Enterprise.

Use the security utility available from the Prerequisites Download page to ensure that the client computers have established a trust with the Web Server. Load the Classical View page to verify this.

95


Setup a Web Display Client

PrerequisitesThe Web Display Client Setup is simple if

the client computer meets the software requirements, and the client computer has access to the web server over a network connection.

Note: Do not proceed with the Setup Instructions below if the client computer does not meet the above requirements.

Setup Instructions

Connect the client computer to the System 1® Web ServerYour IT Administrator should supply you with a link or web address that can be used with Internet Explorer to access the Web Display Enterprise Server. If not, you will need to contact your administrator to request the web address, a username, and a password.

Use the following procedure to log in to your Enterprise.

1. Using Internet Explorer, access the Web Display Login page.2. Enter your Username and Password.3. Click the Login button. System 1® will display the Web Display Lobby page after a

successful login.

96


Install the .NET Framework.The System 1® Web Server automatically detects the existence of the .NET Framework on the client computer upon login. If the web server displays the Prerequisite Download web page after login then the client computer is missing the .NET Framework.

1. Click the Download link to get the installation package for .NET Framework from the Web Server.

2. Do one of the following run the installation package from the Web Server
