Software Installation
Apply AC power to the PC and the Access System. After the operating system is
finished loading, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive and the install program
will autoload. This program will guide you through the installation process.
Please be sure to read the end user license agreement. After the installation
process is complete, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for calibrating
your touchscreen. Next, select “START” then “Maid2000 Database Converter” and
place the Maid2000 CD into the selected drive; follow the onscreen directions.
Now double click the AccessPC icon on the desktop to load the program. During
this first run the software may display error messages because the hardware does
not match the defaults. This is normal. Once the software is loaded, touch the
small text on the bottom of the blue frame (see Figure 5, detail 7) to bring up the
administrative password dialog. The default password is “111”. Once the correct password has been entered the
administrative dialog will appear (Figure 2). Touching the edit field on the numeric keypad will clear it.
System Setup
Press “Setup” to display the system configuration dialog (Figure 3).
Refer to the section below to configure AccessPC to your prefer-
ence. Select “Done/Save”. Then press “Exit Program” and reload
AccessPC. If you encounter any errors at this point please double
check all connections and PC hardware for mis-configurations
before
calling Audio Authority technical support. At this point you may
begin building the product database for the display (see Editing the
Product Database).
