Chapter2 Set Up V-Tool for the First Time


The section explains how to set up V-Tool in a personal computer for the first time.

At first ,read "The Conditions of a Personal computer" well and prepare the followings.

• a Personal Computer

• CD of Windows OS

• CD of V-Tool

Next, operate the following steps .

• Step1 Set Up Windows Platform(S/A)

• Step2 Set Up V-Tool(S/A)

• Step3 Register the User of V-Tool(S/A)

• Step4 Log In to V-Tool(S/A)

• Step5 Start V-Tool(S/A)

Caution If V-series Engineering Tool Ver.3, Ver.2 and Ver.1 are already installed, uninstall them first from [Add or Remove Application].



2

2.1.1 Step1: Set Up Windows Platform (S/A)

Is the setup of Windows OS finished?

Those who do not finished it need to setup it according to the manual of the Windows OS.

This step explains some settings as follows for those who have finished it.

In case of WindowsNT, perform these operations as Administrator.

• A Setup of Network

• A Setup of IP Address

• Create Tool Manager’s Folder

When OS is WindowsNT, please refer to "2.1.1.1 Case of WindowsNT."

When OS is Windows2000, please refer to "2.1.1.2 Case of Windows2000."

When OS is WindowsXP, please refer to "2.1.1.3 Case of WindowsXP."

2.1.1.1 Case of WindowsNT

See the following topics [ A Setup of Network ] and [ A Setup of IP Address ],if you need to connect V-Tool to the V series Controllers. If not ,skip these and see the following topics [Create Tool Manager’s Folder].

A Setup of Network The Network here means 10BASE-T,10BASE2 or 10BASE5 Ethernet which is applied to V-series.

The Network Adapter is a peripheral device for connecting with the Network.

The manufacturer of the adapter may call it "LAN Card", "Network Card", "Ethernet PC Card" ,etc.

Attach the network adapter to your personal computer according the manual if not yet.

In order to make a personal computer recognize a network adapter, it is general that the exclusive driver software should be installed


6F8C1011 9

2

A Setup of IP Address This IP Address means the V-Tool ‘s address in V-series System.

• Click the icon [Network Neighborhood] on Windows Desktop using the right button, and Click < Properties > to display the dialog [Network].

• Click the tab [Protocols], [TCP/IP Protocol] and the button [Properties].

• if you use two or more network adapters, select the network adapter connected to V-series System .

• Click the item [Specify an IP address].

• Input [IP Address] and [Subnet Mask] in accordance with LAN configuration of V-series System.

Supplementary

See the topic [Connect to Controller] of V-Tool document [Basics] in order to assign IP address.

Create Tool Manager’s Folder • The V-Tool Manager registers the user who can use V-Tool and assigns a person that

maintains the user product database. The V-Tool Manager uses the V-Tool application [Product Manager] for this purpose.

• When using V-Tool, you can place [Product Manager] in a folder available only to the tool manager and prohibit their use by other users. Such folder is referred to as the Tool Manager's folder. If no security consideration is necessary, you can skip this step and proceed to Step2.

• Create the Tool Manager's folder as follows:

• Click Start menu < Programs > < Windows NT Explorer > .

• Add new folder as the manager likes (ex . “Vmaintenance”).

• Click the folder using the right button and select <Properties>.

• Click the tab [Security] and the button [Permissions] to open the following dialog.

• Select [Everyone] and click [Remove].

• Click the [Add] button.

• Select [Administrators] in the [Names] list of the [Add Users and Groups] dialog and click [Add].

• Select [Full Control] for [Type of Access] and click [OK].

• Click [OK] to close the window.

• In the above example, the directory [VMaintenance] is exclusive to the Administrator.

• Remember the name of the directory created here because it will be used in Step2.

• This completes the Tool Manager's folder creation.

2.1.1.2 Case of Windows2000





Attach the network adapter to your personal computer according the manual if not yet.

In order to make a personal computer recognize a network adapter, it is general that the exclusive driver software should be installed
