Installing the EK80 operating software
If the Processor Unit is purchased from Kongsberg Maritime, the operational software is pre-installed and ready for use. If you want to use your own computer, you must install the software yourself.
Context
One or more valid software licenses are required to operate the EK80 system. The software licenses are installed after the software installation. The Software License page is provided for this purpose.
Note
Make sure that you have administrative rights on the computer. You need this to install the software. If you purchased your own computer, you must make sure that it meets the technical requirements for use with the EK80 system. Do this before you install the software.
Procedure
1 Turn on the Processor Unit.
2 Switch off any firewall applications.
3 Insert the software media.
4 Use a file manager application on the Processor Unit to access the software files.
5 Double-click Setup.exe to start the installation.
Note
If the operating system on your computer is not supported, the installation will stop with an error message. You must then upgrade your computer - or use a different one - to complete the software installation.
6 Allow the installation wizard to run. Follow the instructions provided.
We recommend that you install the software in the default folder suggested by the wizard. In the last dialog box you are permitted to remove old settings. Since this is your first installation of the software, you can disregard this option.
7 Once the software installation has been completed, double-click the icon on the desktop to start the program.
8 Depending on your operating system parameters, certain dialog boxes may open.
a The Windows® Firewall may open a dialog box requesting information about the network. Select Public, and then select Allow access.
b The operating system may also open other dialog boxes to verify that the EK80 software can run on the computer. You must permit this.
