When you are ready to begin setting up your iFIX environment, use the
following steps to set up your nodes.
To set up your
nodes:
- Set up each computer
you require. Use the section Hardware
Requirements as a guide and refer to the user manual that accompanies
each computer for detailed setup information.
- Install and optimize
Microsoft Windows on each computer as needed. Also make sure you create
a login account with administrator rights so you can install iFIX later.
For instructions on optimizing Windows, refer to the Optimizing
Virtual Memory section.
- Set up the network
adapters and network software required for each computer. Refer to the
Networking iFIX Nodes
and Advanced Topics chapters
of the Setting Up the Environment manual for more information.
- Install iFIX and
any other hardware you may have purchased. Refer to the Installing
the iFIX Software section for instructions. For information on installing
other hardware, refer to that product's documentation.
- Configure iFIX on
each computer. Make sure that the user installing iFIX is a member of
the Administrators Windows group. Refer to the Configuring iFIX Using the SCU chapter of the Setting Up the Environment manual
for more information on configuring iFIX.
