Section 1: Installing and Starting-Up the GSM
This section describes the hardware requirements for running the GEnet System Manag-
er (GSM) software, and tells you how to install the GSM on the hard disk of your per-
sonal computer.
Topics covered are:
Hardware Requirements

LAN Interface Software is licensed separately from your LAN Interface hardware. For
PLC LAN Interfaces, this software is provided in 3 1/2-inch double-density format; for
CNC, 3 1/2-inch high-density diskette format only. The GSM software is part of this
LAN Interface Software.
These diskettes do not contain the MS-DOS operating system. You must boot your com-
puter from your hard drive or another diskette containing this operating system soft-
ware.
Hardware Requirements
The following hardware is required in order to support the GSM software on the PC:
PC Compatible, DOS Version 5.0 or later.
RAM: Minimum of 525,000 bytes free (“largest executable program size” on DOS
MEM command).
2 MBytes of free hard disk space.
3 1/2 inch double-density diskette drive (for CNC, 3 1/2-inch high-density also
supported).
Color or monochrome monitor.
For network GSM operation, an NDIS-compliant, 802.3/Ethernet card installed in the
PC. A list of supported cards is shown in the next section.
