TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
(Version 2.9)
4.1 BASIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS.
We suggest that you get the fastest PC system available to you at the time of
purchase; however, as a minimum it should include the following:
• 400 MHz pentium II
• 512 megabytes of RAM
• 10 Gigabyte hard drive - the bigger the better
• 8 megabyte video board - the faster the better
• Lan Card, Fast Ethernet (100 Base/T), 3Com 3C905 works well
• Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 Professional
• Windows NT disk defragmenter
• Power backup module.
When running the PC system it is important to make sure that you leave at least 500
megabytes of free disk space for temporary system disk swap files.
You will need to connect the Klein 3000 Transceiver and Processing Unit (TPU) to the
Host PC computer. A Fast Ethernet Hub, 3Com, 8 port, product number 3C16722,
works well.
Before turning the TPU on make sure your computer is configured correctly and the
computer is booted up and running.
4.2 BASIC SYSTEM SETUP.
Refer to the following diagram for system set up information. It is important that you
check the operating voltage of the ship. Inspect and reset the input voltage on the
TPU and Host PC computer before connecting to shipboard power.
WARNING
Do not use a cross-over cable.
