5 Getting Started
Before you start the installation:
• Check that you have administrator rights for your computer.
• Check that you have a unique IP address for each Fieldgate to be installed together with
subnet, gateway (LAN/router/firewall) and, if appropriate, broadcast IP addresses.
If a previous version is installed on your computer, we recommend that you deinstall it before
installing the new version.
Warning!
• The use of IP addresses is strictly controlled. Usually your system administrator will be
authorised to allocate unique addresses for your Fieldgates. Assigning an unauthorised address
to a Fieldgate may result in conflicts within your system and the failure of the associated
devices!
