Installing Software in Gilbarco Site Server
Install the site server software and refer to
“Configuring Laptop for Communication and
on
to program the LRE switch before going to the
site, if possible. This reduces the time required to spend on the phone at the site.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The site server software is distributed as a CD-ROM ISO image. It may be burned to a USB
drive to install the software on a site server that has USB ports but no CD-ROM drive or it
may be burned onto a CD-ROM to install the software on a site server that has a CD-ROM
drive.
Note: If you will be installing a secondary Network Interface Card (NIC) on a site server that
only has one built-in NIC, install the software first, and then install the NIC card. This
will ensure that the secondary NIC card will be recognized as the “secondary” card by
the site server software.
Installing Site Server Software from USB Drive
To install the site server software from a USB drive, proceed as follows:
1
Burn the CD-ROM ISO image onto a USB drive, using the “Linux Live USB Creator” utility
(available from
http://www.linuxliveusb.com
).
2
Ensure that the Gilbarco Site Server is powered down.
3
Insert the USB drive containing the software in an available USB port on the site server, then
press the power button on the site server. The setup and installation process begins. The
installation will take about 10-20 minutes.
When the installation is complete, you will hear a repeating pattern of three short beeps from
the server. It is recommended that you attach a monitor to the server, however, to be able to see
the installation progress on screen and verify that the installation is complete. Remove the
USB drive and press RESET. After the server reboots (about three minutes), it will be ready
for programming using the laptop.
Notes: 1) If the server does not start beeping within 15 minutes, call TAC and refer to
“Gilbarco Site Server Software Not Loading”
on
2) If the Gilbarco Site Server that you have does not have a reset button, press and hold
the power button until the device powers down, then release the button and press it
once to turn it back on.
