| Q. |
How do I install the CV-2100 Companion software? |
|
| A. |
There are two methods of installing the CV-2100
Companion Software. The recommended method of
installation makes use of the CV-2100
Companion Setup Utility. The CV-2100 Companion
Setup Utility automatically detects the versions
of MDAC and Jet installed on your PC and allows
the user to install them prior to installing
the CV-2100 Companion software.
The second method requires that the user has
already installed:
After these components have been installed,
you may install just the CV-2100
Companion PC Ethernet Interface.
Both of these methods will install a 30-day
trial version of the software. Detailed instructions
on installing the CV-2100 Companion software
are available in the software
user's guide.

|
| A. |
You can communicate with your CV using the CV-2100
Companion software. You may connect your PC and
the CV-2100 by:
- directly connecting your PC to the CV-2100
without going through a local area network
(LAN) . Use the OP-42275 cross cable available
from Keyence.
- connecting both your CV-2100 and your
PC to a local area network (LAN). Please
consult with the systems administrator or
network administrator during this process
to ensure proper setup.
