Getting Started
To begin the OMEGA configuration process:
1.
In your computer’s floppy drive, insert the floppy diskette
containing the OMEGA configuration program. Then create a
new folder on your computer’s hard drive and copy all of the
files from the OMEGA configuration diskette to that folder.
NOTE:
Remember the name of the folder that contains the OMEGA
configuration program. You will need to access this folder later in
this procedure.
2.
Connect a data cable with a male DB9 connector to OMEGA’s
serial port (see Figure 1-1 on page 13).
3.
Connect the other end of the cable to your notebook
computer’s serial port.
4.
Apply 115 VAC power to OMEGA (see “Powering-up
OMEGA” on page 21). The green
Power
LED goes ON.

Exit to an MS-DOS window:

If your computer is running a different operating system,
refer to the manual that came with the computer for
instructions on getting to a DOS prompt.
6.
Change to the directory (folder) where you copied the
OMEGA configuration program file. For example, if you
copied the files to a directory called OMEGA type the bold
command in the following line at the MS-DOS prompt and
press the Enter key:
C:\WINDOWS>
CD\OMEGA

Type
