II. GUI over Serial
A. Installing Application
The serial console (PC) running Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista/7 is required to install the appropriate software.
Please follow the step-by-step instructions as listed below.
All prompt screens and dialog boxes shown in this section are for Windows 98 and above. Some dialog boxes
and folders may slightly different in other versions of Windows.
Install the "AV Console Center”driver (Windows 98 and above)
Insert the CD into the CD/DVD-ROM drive and browse:
There are two ways to install the driver.
a) Manually copy the file "TuApp.exe" to the Windows platform and run it directly.
b) Run "Setup.exe" to automatically install the utility on the Windows platform. The "Setup.exe" will create
a shortcut “AV Console Center" on Windows' desktop, and a program group "AV Console Center”.
B. Uninstalling Application
To uninstall the driver, it depends on the installation method you have applied.
a) If you have manually installed the utility, you can just manually delete the file "TuApp.exe” from the
Windows platform.
b) If you have installed "Setup.exe" before, you have two ways to uninstall the application. One is that
uninstall "AV Console Center" from Windows' Control Panel. The other is by clicking the icon “Uninstall”
from the “AV Console Center” program group.
