Setting up your computer for ICSRT

Before you can begin using ICSRT, the software must first be installed and set up on the computer
you are going to use for system management.
Setting up ICSRT on your computer involves:
• making sure your computer is configured to run the application
• installing the software on the computer hard drive
• creating different databases
This section explains how you install and set up ICSRT on your computer. There is also
information about optimizing performance, removing the ICSRT software, and troubleshooting
the installation.

Computer hardware requirements

The ICSRT software is installed on the hard disk of the computer you intend to use to connect to
Norstar systems. Ensure that your computer is equipped with:
• Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP
• 486 or higher microprocessor (a faster processor will allow for faster backups and restores)
• 32 MBytes of RAM
• 36 MBytes virtual memory (or more)
• CD ROM drive
• 100 MB free space on the hard disk
• Microsoft Excel version 7 (Office 95) or 8 (Office 97) or (Office 2000) if you intend to
use the Workbook tool. Excel 5 (Office 4.2) can also be used, but the Acquire ICS or
Program ICS dialog should be minimized, or else Excel will stall during
programming.
