4. System requirements
For projecting the MBS Universal-Gateways you require a PC with the
operating system Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0 with installed network
card as well as the corresponding network card drivers.
For transferring the files to the Gateway you require an installed
TCP/IP connection as well as a so-called “Crossover-cable” or a
network hub.
5. Installation
Insert the CD-ROM “MS Universal-Gateways Projecting Software“
into the CD-ROM drive of your PC. If you have activated the autostart
function of the CD-ROM, the installation program starts
automatically, otherwise please execute the program SETUP.EXE
from the CD.
Please follow the instructions of the installation program.
5.1.

6. Configuration of the network
connection
The transfer of the configuration files to or from the Gateway is
effected by means of a TCP/IP network connection. The connection
may be established alternatively via a so-called “Crossover-cable“
(direct connection of the two devices) or via a network hub.
Important hint: When using a Crosso-Cable and a 10/100 Mbit/s
network card please make sure that the function “Autodetect“ of the
network card is not activated as otherwise it may happen that no
connection is established.
6.1. Setting the network connection under
Windows 95/98
Choose the system control (“Start“, “Settings“, “System Control“).
Then choose the symbol “Network“.
The following dialog displays:
Please mark the entry for TCP/IP which is connected with the
network card (not “DFÜ-network“). Then choose “Properties”.

For setting the network properties, administrator rights might be
required. If these are not at your disposal please ask your system
administrator to arrange for a corresponding user profile with the
mentioned network settings.
