Software Installation & Update
Installing/Updating the HP E4873A User Software
NOTE:
The administrator password DVTADM is set from the factory. When the HP 81200 System will be
connected to the local network it is highly recommended to change this password.
After logging in the first time the HP 81200 Configuration window pops up which allows defining
your preferred operating mode.
If the HP 81200 Application should start automatically after logon enable "Yes" in the 'Start
Automatically" field.
Start the application by pressing the HP 81200 User Software Icon.
For more details on how to configure your system for first time usage please refer to
System" on page
Using a different Controller
If you are using the HP 81200 modules in a VXI system controlled by a non-HP controller, make sure
that you have installed the appropriate I/O library for this controller. Please use the documentation
coming with this controller.
Standalone or Connecting to the LAN
Please contact your network administrator for the necessary information, if you are connecting the
system to your local area network.
If the system is not connected to the LAN make sure that the network is configured as follow:
• IP Address:
• Subnet Mask:
• Default Gateway:
• Domain:
Updating the Firmware (BIOS)
If you have upgraded from a previous version, the new HP E4873A User Software may be
incompatible with the firmware version installed in your modules.
Starting the HP E4873A User Software checks whether a firmware update is necessary as long as this
check is activated. Starting the User Software the first time after an update automatically launches the
HP 81200 Configuration Window. Please make sure, that the "Check Module Version" option is
activated to ensure an automatic version test each time you are starting the system.
If a version conflict is detected a window pops up letting you know that a firmware update is highly
recommended. Please press the OK button.
After the firmware update it proceeds with starting the new application software.
NOTE:
For downgrading the BIOS to be used with a previous User Software version refer to the HP 81200
Support page on the web.
