4.2. Installing the Gemini Software

The Gemini software is supplied on a USB memory stick as a Windows Installer Package
(with the .msi file extension). Doubling clicking the installation file will start the Windows
Installer and install the software onto the computer. Older units were supplied with a CD-
ROM and it will auto-run upon disc insertion, if using a CD-ROM based installation, consider
updating to the latest version of the software from www.tritech.co.uk. During installation follow
the installer instructions, if required making any appropriate selections, to install the software.

4.3. Configuring the Gemini

The Gemini head uses Ethernet to communicate with the computer running the Gemini
software. Depending on the configuration of the system, this may be partly carried over a
VDSL link. Before the head can be connected to the LAN, the IP address needs to be set
to a suitable value for that network. Also the subnet mask needs to be appropriate for the
network and the address chosen.
Configuring the IP address of the Gemini is a four stage process. Firstly the IP address of
the computer is set to a value which will communicate with the head. The Gemini software is
then used to change the IP address of the Gemini. The third stage is to reset the IP address
of the computer. The final stage is to check the operation of the Gemini on the network (by
running the Gemini software and verifying that the Gemini head is able to communicate).
The following instructions use addresses 192.168.2.201 for the Gemini and 192.168.2.100
for the computer. These addresses are only appropriate for a new Gemini which has just
