Ndp 250/500 Windows nt /2000 Track Processor Installation Instructions

********OVERVIEW*********

A) INSTALLING WINDOWS NT/2000 WORKSTATION SOFTWARE

Important notes to read before installing or configuring pre-installed Windows NT/2000 Workstation software:

Processor is being powered on with the NDP 250/500.

ISA-TCP board (also referred to as ETCP board).

PCI Image Interface Board (PCIII).

Common Controller board (for Upstream Image with Archive Ready Rear only).

• 
  Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
  

• 
  Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Service Pack 4
  

• 
  Windows 2000 version 5.0
  

For Upstream Image systems format a second hard drive using NTFS for the file system that will be storing the images.

Windows NT - Start\Programs\Administrative Tools \User manager

B) CUSTOMIZING WINDOWS NT/2000 AND TRACK INSTALLATION PREPARATION

Prepare the ISA-TCP board for installation.

Locate the interrupt jumper and port I/O base address switch.

The factory will ship the ISA-TCP with default settings.
The current factory defaults for Track PCs of type PC Model VLI8 (450Mhz) are:

Interrupt = 11 (jumper I11 in place)

Port I/O Base = 0x240 (switches settings 6=OPEN, 3=OPEN, and all the rest of the switches=CLOSED).
NOTE 1: Earlier model AQUANTA style Track PCs used Interrupt 15 (jumper I15 in place) and Port I/O Base=0x200 for the factory default setting.
NOTE 2: There are no jumpers or switches for setting memory mapped NV RAM addresses. This setting is soft controllable and is not controlled by ISA-TCP. The default setting for memory mapped NV RAM is 0xD0000-0xDFFFF.

Prepare the Common Controller board for installation

This is for Upstream Image systems with Archive Ready Rear only and if the Common Controller board is located in Track PC. If the Common Controller board is located in Image gate, jumpers and switches do not exist.

Locate the interrupt jumper and port I/O base address switch SW1.

The factory will ship the Common Controller with default settings.
The current factory defaults for Track PCs of type PC Model VLI8 (450Mhz) are:

Interrupt = 5 (jumper I5 in place)

Port I/O Base = 0x300 (SW1 1-7 = CLOSED, SW1 8 = OPEN).
NOTE: It is recommended that upgrades not be performed on PC Model VL8 (350Mhz). The PC should be replaced with the VLI8 (450Mhz). If a Track PC of type PC Model VL8 (350Mhz) is used for an upgrade, it will be necessary to either set the Common Controller board to use interrupt 7, since this model PC has an ISA Sound card which uses interrupt 5, or, to disable the audio driver and remove the sound card from the PC. If interrupt 7 is used it may not be possible to use a parallel port printer since interrupt 7 is also used for the parallel port.

Check board settings and resolve PC resource conflicts

Windows NT: Using Start\Programs\Administrative Tools\Windows NT Diagnostics,

make sure that the factory default settings for the ISA-TCP and Common Controller (if Upstream Image fitted) do not conflict with any other installed devices. Available interrupts and port I/O addresses can be reviewed by selecting "IRQ/PORT STATUS". Available memory can be reviewed by selecting "DMA/MEMORY".
Windows 2000: Using Start\Settings\Control Panel\System, select Hardware tab, Device Manager, Select view drop down menu, Resources by type,

make sure that the factory default settings for the ISA-TCP and Common Controller (if Upstream Image fitted) do not conflict with any other installed devices. . Available interrupts can be reviewed by selecting "Interrrupt request (IRQ)". Available port I/O addresses can be reviewed by selecting "input/output (IO)”. Available memory can be reviewed by selecting "Memory".

If an interrupt conflict exists, identify an unused interrupt and set the appropriate jumper on the ISA-TCP board (or Common Controller) to the available interrupt.

If you upgrade, the original installation will be saved in a backup directory (C:\DPIMAGE\BACKUP). Upgrading will install the latest executables and drivers,and the latest *.INI files. If you have customized any settings in the .INI files, you can restore those settings after the upgrade is complete.

Remember your original *.INI files have been saved in the C:\DPIMAGE\BACKUP directory. Hardware configuration settings, calibration tables, and adaptive threshold tables are not modified during an upgrade.

Shut Down Windows NT/2000 and Reboot the PC.

E) SETUP TRACK CONFIGURATION AND REGISTERING THE ISA-TCP

BOARD AND DRIVER WITH WINDOWS NT/2000

Setting Up the Track Configuration.

For both NDP250 and NDP500 the NT Track Software expects the configuration file to be called DP500CON.INI. This file contains a parameter called MachineType which is set to DP250 or DP500.

• 
  Select “Modify Configuration File”.
  
• 
  Select file = DP500CON.INI under the CONFIG directory.
  
• 
  Modify the configuration to match your actual machine configuration.
  
• 
  Select “Save configuration file” option. Prior to the save operation a copy of the configuration file DP500CON.INI is saved as DP500CON.SAV.
  

NOTES:

1. 
   If converting from a CTOS track processor then refer to dp500config.sys CTOS file for track configuration settings.
   
2. 
   The Archive Ready Rear option for Upstream Image cannot coexist with a conventional downstream ICM. The Configuration Utility will display a warning message and not accept this configuration.
   

WARNING: An incorrect DP500CON.INI may cause erratic system behavior.

REGISTERING THE ISA-TCP BOARD AND DRIVER WITH WINDOWS NT

1) From the Configuration Utility main menu select the "Configure TCP Device Driver" button.

2) The default factory hardware settings are shown.

Alter the setting as needed to the settings recorded in Section B - step 15 above. Any altered setting must match the earlier changes made to jumper and switch on the ISA-TCP board.

7) Click Next to install the driver. Click Finish.
8) Shutdown Windows 2000 by pressing the Ctrl , Alt and Del keys all at once. The Windows 2000 Security window is displayed. Select "Shutdown". Select

"Shutdown and Restart".

F) RUNNING THE EXERCISER OR MAINTENANCE TEST ROUTINES

1) The device driver DP500TCP.SYS and the NDP 250/500 Track Control are automatically started when the Track Processor is booted. They are auto started by a batch file that is contained in the "Startup" Window.

If Upstream Image is fitted, the driver NTIMGDRV.SYS and imaging tasks NTIMGCAP.exe, NTIMGIDX.exe and NTIMGMTR.exe are also auto started.
2) If Upstream Image has been installed for the first time it will be necessary to calibrate the camera(s), front, and rear if Archive Ready Rear is fitted. This is performed using the Maintenance Test Routines (MTR). Start MTR from Start/CAPI System/CSE Utilities/Maintenance Test Routines.
3) Test the system using the Exerciser. Start the exerciser from Start/CAPI System/CSE Utilities/Track Exerciser.

G) CUSTOM IMAGE CONFIGURATION

The imaging setup dialogs will prompt for custom configuration information. The following sections will help you make the correct choices.

STORAGE TASK CONFIGURATION

The image storage utility requires information stored in the Registry database. During installation you are prompted for a response for the following.

This prompt indicates whether image files are to be stored locally on disk or on a network drive. The default is to store on a network.

DRIVELETTER.

This value is the drive letter the image files are to be written. When writing image files to a network, this drive letter will be mapped to the StoragePathName. When writing to a local drive, this drive letter and the StoragePathName, are concatenated together. This forms the full path the image files are to be written to. DO NOT put any colons, :, in the Drive Letter.

This value is the path where image files will be stored. DO NOT leave this value blank. Choose a correct storage path as described below.

The directory will be created on the computer where images are to be stored. This is the base directory.

The directory is images.

The NetworkStorage must be set to 0.

The path must be the Computer Name where the images will be stored followed by the share name where the images will be stored.

DO NOT put the Workgroup in the path.
The share name MUST BE an existing share on the computer where images are to be stored.
When filling in this StoragePathName, precede the Computer Name with a double backslash, \\. After the Computer Name but before the share, put a single backslash, \. DO NOT put any backslashes at the end of the path.
Example.

The Computer Name is IFS001.

The share name is images.
The StoragePathName is \\IFS001\images

The NetworkStorage must be set to 1.

STORAGE PATHNAME FOR NOVELL NETWARE NETWORKS

The path must be the file server where the images will be stored, followed by the volume and the directory where the images will be stored. The file server name can be found many different ways.

Essentially, it is the name assigned in the AUTOEXEC.NCF. The statement should be "file server name ".
The volume MUST BE an existing volume on the file server where the images are to be stored.
The directory MUST BE an existing directory on the file server where images are to be stored. This is the base directory.
When filling in this StoragePathName, precede the file server with a double backslash, \\. After the file server but before the volume, put a single backslash, \. After the volume but before the directory, put a single backslash, \. DO NOT put any backslashes at the end of the path. Also, DO NOT put any colons, :, in the StoragePathName.
Example.

The file server name is IFS001.

The volume name is VOL1.

The directory is IMAGES.

The NetworkStorage must be set to 1.

--------------

With both ICS and IFS configured as described above, with the ICS system software running, the LAN connectivity and throughput in terms of maximum and average number of bytes written per second can be tested as follows:

On the Image Storage task window, type L and press . This will perform a series of disk writes across the LAN and display the performance statistics on the Storage window.
