Installing and Configuring the RangeGuard Software

System Software Overview

The system software includes the RangeGuard Server and the RangeGuard Display software.

The RangeGuard Server and the RangeGuard Display are pre-installed on the RangeGuard controller.

In addition to the software suite installed on the RangeGuard controller, a remote display/control computer and any additional computer systems on board the vessel
can also be loaded with the RangeGuard Display. All such systems must be Windows 7 based and connected to the same network as the RangeGuard controller.

Getting Started

Opening User Interface directly from within the RangeGuard Controller

The RangeGuard controller has an integral PC which can be used to display the User Interface. Connect a Keyboard and Mouse to the available USB ports and a
Monitor to the VGA socket.

Launch the RangeGuard Display software using the shortcut on the desktop. Values should appear on the User Interface as soon as sensors are
plugged into the front panel. Systems with a single sensor licence (default unless specified otherwise) report data from only a single sensor.
