First Steps Before Installation
We recommend that the manufacturer’s latest audio, video, and networking drivers
be installed on the host workstation before installing the TANDBERG FieldView
Application software. Refer to the workstation documentation for information on how
to locate and install the necessary drivers.
Installing the TANDBERG FieldView Application Software
Note:
Installation of the Enterprise version of the TANDBERG FieldView Application
software using the FieldView Enterprise Suite is similar to the following but utilizes a
customized network or CD-based setup program. Consult the FieldView Enterprise
Suite User Manual for more information.
To install the software:
Sign into the PC as an administrator (either administrator or as a user that is a
1.
member of the administrators group).
If you have previously installed the TANDBERG FieldView Application and it
2.
is currently running, quit the TANDBERG FieldView Application. Also, if the
TANDBERG FieldView Application icon in the Windows Notification Area (next to
the clock) is present, right-click on the icon and select
Exit
.
Insert the CD into the computer. The installation process should start on its own. If
3.
it does not:
Click the
a.
Start
button on your Windows desktop, and select
Run...
to open
the Run dialog box.
Type
b.
D:\FA\setup.exe
and click
OK
to start the installation. Use a drive
letter that matches your CD drive.
Note:
always execute setup.exe rather than the .msi file or the installation
may be incomplete.
Follow the installation prompts. The installation puts icons on your desktop for the
4.
TANDBERG FieldView Application and Image Annotator applications and an option
into your
Start > All Programs
menu.
Depending on what has previously been installed on your computer, first time setup
may prompt you to install a number of utilities, such as the Microsoft .NET Framework
and Microsoft DirectX. Follow the prompts as they appear and re-start the computer
as required.
Coexistence with Security Software
In some cases, resident security programs (e.g. firewall and anti-spyware applications
such as antivirus and worm protection) may block operation or communication
functions of the TANDBERG FieldView Application. This usually results in either an
inability to establish a connection or a warning from the security software asking if the
specified program (the TANDBERG FieldView Application) should be allowed to access
the network or other resources.
In general, you should configure these security applications to allow TANDBERG
FieldView Application communications.
Important:
Denying access may prevent proper operation of the TANDBERG
FieldView Application.
Note that some enterprise Virtual Private Network (VPN) clients include a firewall
that may need to be configured to allow TANDBERG FieldView Application
communications.
See
Firewall and Anti-Spyware Blocking
for a list of specific information relating to
security software configuration.
