11
Section 2 - System 1 Software Components
2. System 1 Software Components

The following section briefly describes the components that make
up the System 1 platform and their functions.
2.1 System 1 Application Servers

2.1.1 System 1 Databases
REQUIRED COMPONENT
The System 1 software requires 2 types of databases
Configuration databases and Historical databases.
The Configuration database contains all the information about a
System 1 Enterprise: the plant assets, machines, protection
systems, transducers, Data Acquisition Servers, different data
sources, alarm management settings, security information, etc.
The Historical database contains data that the System 1 software
collects and analyzes. This database can include a mix of static
data (gap voltage, filtered and direct vibration data, etc) and
dynamic data (Waveforms, etc).
The System 1 Installation package also provides 2 sample
databases:
DemoVersion65Configuration database
DemoVersion65Historical database
These databases are used for demonstration and training.

Each database is a Microsoft SQL Server database. Any computer
that hosts a System 1 database must have Microsoft SQL server
installed.
13
2.1.2 System 1 Data Acquisition (DAQ) Server

REQUIRED COMPONENT
The System 1 Data Acquisition software is the heart of the System 1
software. The DAQ Server software analyzes the data and prepares
it for storage in the Historical database, for viewing in the Display
software, and for use by System Extender applications. You can use
Data Collection Modules (DCMs) to transfer data from external data
sources to the System 1 software. You can use Data Exporters (e.g.
OLE-Automation Exporter) to transfer data from the System 1
platform to other hardware and software products.
NOTE
Each DAQ Server can collect data for ONLY 1
System 1 Enterprise. 1 Enterprise, on the other
hand, can have up to 10 Data Acquisition Servers,
each of which resides on a separate computer.
Some key System 1 Data Acquisition functions include:
Processing collected dynamic data and generating

additional machine parameters including nX components,
spectral bands, etc.
Buffering data and change filtering
Generating various software alarms
Reporting hardware alarms
Storing new data to databases
Providing real-time and current value data for System 1

displays
You can install the DAQ Server locally on the server that hosts the
databases or on a dedicated DAQ Server machine.
14
2.1.3 System 1 DAQ with Decision Support Notification

OPTIONAL COMPONENT
An E-Mail Notification Plan sends electronic notification of the
filtered event types to one or more designated recipients. You can
arrange to forward e-mail notification to your pager or mobile
phone if both your e-mail program and pager or mobile phone
supports this. Please consult your wireless service providers
support team to learn about text messaging.
E-mail notification works with a Messaging Application Program
Interface (MAPI) compliant e-mail Client/Server or SMTP
Client/Server architecture. When a filtered event triggers on the
Data Acquisition station, the DAQ computer sends an e-mail
message to the defined E-mail Server.
2.1.4 System 1 Management Console Server (SMC)

REQUIRED COMPONENT
The System 1 Management Console (SMC) allows you to manage
and monitor the health of multiple System 1 Enterprises. An
Enterprise requires only 1 SMC Server and an SMC Client can
access multiple SMC Servers.
We recommend that you install this component on the same
machine that hosts the databases.
2.1.5 System 1 Enterprise Data Server (EDS)

REQUIRED COMPONENT
Your installation can use a License Server to handle licensing for
System 1 software from a central location at the enterprise level,
rather than at the DAQ level. This means that during system setup
you need not install license media at each computer.
15

You must assign a License Server to each Enterprise before you can
apply any licenses to an Enterprise. You must properly license and
activate each Enterprise before it can collect data.
You may assign a single License Server to 1 or more System 1
Enterprises. You configure the License Server from the System 1
Management Console Client.
We recommend that you install this component on the same
machine as that which hosts the databases.
2.1.6 System 1 Web Display Server

OPTIONAL COMPONENT
The System 1 Web Display Enterprise Server may reside on any
computer in your network. In most cases the Web Display Server
computer is separate from the one on which the System 1 Data
Acquisition software is installed. This software connects to 1 or
more Enterprises and serves limited real-time and historical data to
Web Display Clients. The Web Display Clients may connect through
the Intranet or Internet. The Web Display server must have access
to the Data Acquisition software and to the System 1 Database(s)
for the Enterprise(s) you access using the Web Display software.
Installations for which clients do not connect through the Internet,
the Web Display Server can also be the Data Acquisition Server.
Installations for which clients connect through the Internet, security
reasons dictate that the Web Display Server and DAQ Server should
be separate computers.
2.1.7 System 1 Data Collector Modules (DCMs)

REQUIRED COMPONENT
The System 1 Data Acquisition software uses a DCM to collect data
from various external data sources or data providers. The DCM
communicates with the external data sources using the
appropriate protocol to execute commands, retrieve data, and
package the data into a standardized System 1 format for the Core
16

Data Acquisition modules. The System 1 software acquires data
from a variety of data sources, each of which supports its own
proprietary protocol or an industry standard protocol like OPC.
The following sections discuss the DCMs that are currently

available with the System 1 software offering.
2.1.7.1
Snapshot for Windows CE DCM

PROTOCOL: Bently Nevada Snapshot Ethernet Protocol
The Snapshot Portable Data Collector (PDC) uses this protocol to
send commands to the System 1 DAQ computer. The Snapshot PDC
can initiate downloads of configuration information or upload of
collected data. The Snapshot PDC starts a File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) server on TCP port 1800 locally on the Snapshot device, and
then commands the PDC Socket Server over TCP port 1815 to
initiate an upload or download from/to the FTP server.
17

2.1.7.2
3500 TDI Communication Processor DCM
PROTOCOL: Bently Nevada Host Protocol for 3500 TDI
The Bently Nevada Host Protocol for 3500 TDI is a protocol to
configure and control a 3500 TDI communications processor, and
to collect data from that processor.
2.1.7.3
3300 TDe Communication Processor DCM

PROTOCOL: Bently Nevada Host Protocol for 3300 TDe.
The Bently Nevada Host Protocol for 3300 TDe is a protocol to
configure and control a 3300 TDe communications processor, and
to collect data from that processor.
2.1.7.4
TDXnet Communications Processor DCM

PROTOCOL: Bently Nevada Host Protocol for TDXnet
The Bently Nevada Host Protocol for TDXnet is a protocol to
configure and control a TDXnet communications processor, and to
collect data from that processor.
2.1.7.5
OPC DCM
PROTOCOL: OPC (OLE for Process Control)
The System 1 OPC Client DCM imports data from 3rd-party OPC
Servers that comply with OPC 2.0 specifications. The importer
supports a wide range of features for transferring process data
from 3rd-party systems into the System 1 platform to manage it
along with other vibration data.
See http://www.opcfoundation.org/01_about/01_whatis.asp for the
full definition of OPC. OPC uses Microsoft DCOM (Distributed
Component Object Model) technology.
2.1.7.6
NetDDE DCM
PROTOCOL: NetDDE (Networked Dynamic Data Exchange)
18

Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a method for transferring data
between different software applications. NetDDE uses the same
method as DDE for transferring data, but transfers the data across
a network. DDE and NetDDE provide dynamic (real-time) exchange
of data between 2 or more applications.
DDE works in a client/server relationship. The client program
establishes a conversation with a server and asks for data. The
server replies by sending the requested data. A server will generally
provide different categories of data and from 1 to several data
items within each category. In DDE, these categories are called
Topics. When communicating over a network, Windows NT refers
to each Topic as a Share Name.
System 1 software can act as a DDE Client to acquire information
from DDE Server applications.
2.1.7.7
Trendmaster Dynamic Scanning Module DCM

PROTOCOL: Bently Nevada Trendmaster DSM Protocol
System 1 software and its utilities use this protocol to configure and
collect data from a DSM. When a DSM is initially placed on a
network, it must be configured to communicate on a specific IP
address. An unconfigured DSM responds to broadcast commands
that it receives on the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port. The DSM
responds with its physical (MAC) address so that the configuration
utility can address it specifically for configuration commands. After
configuration, DSM Init may use the DSMs IP address to
communicate with the DSM directly on the TCP port. The DAQ uses
the DSMs IP address to communicate with the DSM on the TCP port
in much the same way.
2.1.7.8
MODBUS DCM
PROTOCOL: MODBUS Ethernet
The System 1 MODBUS DCM imports data from a variety of
MODBUS devices that are MODBUS Ethernet compliant. MODBUS is
19

an application layer messaging protocol, positioned at level 7 of the
OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. This provides
client/server communication between devices connected on
different types of buses or networks.
2.1.7.9
System 1 Application Program Interface DCM

The System 1 Application Program Interface (API) provides a means
for 3rd-party software applications to access and store System 1
data. The API uses client-server architecture and has similar
functionality to that of the OSIsoft PI System historian. The 3 parts
of the API are the client, server, and Data Collector Module (DCM).
2.1.8 System 1 Data Exporters

OPTIONAL COMPONENT
Data Exporters transfer real-time or historical data from the System
1 software to other hardware and software products. Always
consult your local representative for the most current information
concerning exporters and other System 1 components.
2.1.8.1
System 1 NetDDE Server (Exporter)

OPTIONAL COMPONENT
System 1 software exports data via an established protocol to
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) or Networked Dynamic Data
Exchange (NetDDE) clients. The clients of this protocol determine
the type, amount, and frequency of information to request from the
System 1 software. If the requested information is available, the
System 1 software transfers its memory and databases to the
client.
The following Data Exporters are available with the System 1 DDE
Exporter CD-ROM package:
20
Dynamic Data Exchange
Networked Dynamic Data Exchange

Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) and Networked Dynamic Data
Exchange (NetDDE) are used in Microsoft Windows products to
provide a dynamic (real-time) transfer of data between 2 or more
applications.
You must install DDE client applications on the same computer as
the application software from which they are requesting data.
NetDDE client applications must reside on a computer on the same
network as the application software from which they are
requesting data.
2.1.8.2
OLE Automation Exporter

OPTIONAL COMPONENT
The OLE Automation Exporter uses Windows-based Object Linking
and Embedding (OLE). OLE is a Microsoft protocol that defines a
method for transferring data between applications. The OLE
Automation Exporter uses this protocol to pass data from the
System 1 application to other software applications.
The OLE Automation Exporter currently supports the Bently
PERFORMANCE SE application, and the export of System 1 data to
Microsoft Excel 2000 or later spreadsheet applications.
2.1.8.3
System 1 OPC Server (Exporter)

OPTIONAL COMPONENT
2 OPC Exporters are now available. These are the Legacy OPC
Server and the OPC AE Exporter.
The legacy OPC Server supports DA version 1.0 and 2.0 real-time
data access OPC items.
The OPC AE Matrikon OPC Server for System 1 tool provides realtime data access (DA 2.0 and DA 3.0) and alarm & event
notifications (AE 1.1) from System 1 software. The System 1
software suite manages the condition of machinery and other
assets in a plant vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, valves,
21

instrumentation, piping, and reactors. The System 1 platform
consists of 1 or many nodes that collect data from PLCs, databases,
and other OPC Servers. The Matrikon OPC Server for System 1 tool
provides access to all configured nodes in the System 1 software.
2.2 System 1 Clients

computer in a System 1 installation, can start, stop, and otherwise
monitor the System 1 DAQ software.
NOTE
The DAQ software can automatically start up its computer.
If some event accidentally takes a computer offline, the
System 1 DAQ will automatically start up and resume Data
Acquisition when the computer restarts.
You can set up every DACM to monitor more than 1 DAQ Server.
The DACM displays the health status of each DCM that is
configured for the particular DAQ as a separate node under the
DAQ component.
The DACM can reside on any computer with access to the
computer on which the DAQ software is installed.
2.2.2 System 1 Configuration Software

REQUIRED COMPONENT
You use the System 1 Configuration software to define and
organize various elements within the Enterprise, such as machine
types, monitor types, operating parameters, transducer types and
scale factors, alarm levels, etc.
22

Configuring the System 1 platform is the process of assigning the
parameters and values that define System 1 components and
determine how they operate. During the configuration process, you
enter parameters that describe measurement points, variables,
machines, and assets that are being monitored, where they are
located, how they will be monitored, how the data will be trended,
and the setpoint thresholds that will trigger alarm notifications.
These parameters are collectively referred to as the System 1
configuration.
You can install the System 1 Configuration software on any
computer that meets the minimum System 1 computer
specification requirements. Note that the System 1 Configuration
software need not reside on the same computer as the System 1
Configuration database, but should have network access to the
configuration database computer.
When you are using the System 1 Configuration software the
Enterprise configuration database is open and may be changing. To
guarantee the integrity of the configuration parameters, only 1 person
may change the database at any given time. Until that person
releases the database other users are limited to read-only access.
In addition, if you wish to view configuration parameters on a System
1 Display computer, the System 1 Configuration software must be
installed on that same computer. This is also true for changing
spectral band alarms while executing the Display software.
2.2.3 File Based Configuration (FBC)

OPTIONAL COMPONENT
You may use File-Based Configuration (FBC) clients to accomplish
many of the same tasks that are available in the System 1
23

Configuration software and allow the user to configure large
numbers of points more rapidly.
You can import or export configuration data as a flat file to a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, which allows you to pre-populate
fields, cut and paste data, easily replicate points, and perform
many other actions. The query/report tools allow you to search for
only those points and parameters you wish to change (such as the
lower alarm levels for all pressure points) and export only those
points and configuration parameters to Microsoft Excel
spreadsheets. You can use the mapping tools to map configured
instrument points to their corresponding enterprise locations.
The client server architecture has 2 components a FBC server and
FBC clients. The FBC server is part of the standard System 1
Configuration installation. The clients, which provide the ability to
configure a large number of Enterprise points simultaneously, are
optional components that you must choose to install during the
software setup process.
2.2.4 System 1 Display Software

REQUIRED COMPONENT
The System 1 Display software may reside on any computer. This
software connects to an Enterprise and displays real-time and
historical data in a variety of formats, including plots, tabular lists,
bar graphs, event lists, and machine train diagrams. The System 1
Display software can display, compare, trend, and print current and
historical values.
A computer with System 1 Display software can connect to a
maximum of 10 different System 1 Enterprises at the same time.
These connections can be local (on the same computer), over a
network, or via remote communications to other locations.
At least 1 System 1 Display computer is required for every
installation. You can also install the Display software on the System
1 DAQ computer.

System 1 platform-based diagnostics and optimization application.
This allows you to apply proven knowledge and best practices
across a business using a repeatable and manageable process.
The Decision Support Studio RuleDesk Pro includes RuleDesk
Developer for creating, managing, and applying Rules. Rules are
model-based logic with defined inputs and outputs. Inputs include
a broad range of data types and properties that are available in a
System 1 platform. Outputs can be calculations, operating states,
timers, counters or specific events. Events typically indicate a
condition or situation of which you would want to be made aware
and to which you would respond. You may write Rules to optimize
plant operation, give early detection of mechanical, operational, or
instrument events, or derive parametric variables for trending and
alarming. Decision Support Studio includes essential rule testing,
documentation, and a robust security model to protect businesssensitive knowledge. You can install this product on any machine
that has network access to the System 1 Configuration Database.
2.2.6 System 1 Smart Notifier

OPTIONAL COMPONENT

collects System 1 events. It provides automatic notification, such as
25

by e-mail, and display of these events to the responsible personnel
specified for the machinery being monitored. You need not install
Decision Support to use Smart Notifier.
2.2.7 System 1 Management Console (SMC) Client

REQUIRED COMPONENT
You use the SMC Client to monitor and manage a System 1
Enterprise. It connects to 1 or more SMC Servers to access the
System 1 Enterprises. As you configure each SMC Server to connect
to 1 System 1 Enterprise, you must establish connections to
multiple SMC Servers to access multiple System 1 Enterprises. The
SMC Client facilitates connection to and management of multiple
Enterprises from the same computer.
You use plug-ins to monitor and manage the System 1 Enterprise.
You can use the Plug-in Manager in the SMC Client application to
download plug-ins. You must have adequate user rights in System
1 Configuration software to download new plug-ins that are
available on the SMC Server.
2.3 System 1 Tools

The System 1 platform includes a set of software utility
applications, or tools. These applications are support software that
the installation process (at your request) installs on any computer
within your System 1 application.
The tools are launched and executed independently of other
System 1 software applications. The System 1 Help includes
detailed instructions for using each tool.
26
2.3.1 Bently Manual Input

The Manual Input application allows you to input data manually
into the DAQ software. Typically, you do this if either situation
exists:
A data point is not available from the online source or a

required transducer point does not exist. You can configure
Bently Manual Input to create and replace the missing data
point. An example would be the gas composition analysis
from a gas chromatography process.
An established data point intentionally captures manually

entered values that are not available any other way. An
example is the weekly price of fuel that Bently
PERFORMANCE uses to calculate Return on Investment
(ROI) for an electrical generating station.
2.3.2 DSM Initialization (DSM Init)

This utility helps you prepare System 1 software for Dynamic
Scanning Module (DSM) access. With this tool you can:

System 1 Enterprise outside the System 1 software. You can install
these tools on any System 1 computer that has System 1
Enterprises. You can apply many of the included tools to an entire
Enterprise or to a single database.
2.3.19 Web Display Enterprise Creation Utility

The Web Display Enterprise Creation Utility tool creates a new Web
Display utility. You can launch this utility at the end of the Web
Display Server installation or access it from the System 1 Tools
menu.
2.4 What Does a System 1 Installation Look

Like?
There are many network architectures into which you may
integrate the System 1 software.
Standalone/Single Computer System. This refers to a

computer that has System 1 software installed but that is
not networked to other computers.
31

Distributed Database Network System. This is a simple
type of networked installation that uses 2 or more
computers within the System 1 platform distributed across a
customer Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network
(WAN).
Centralized Database Network System. This is another

type of distributed installation of the System 1 platform
components, typically with a centralized database computer
that resides on a domain separate from that of the System 1
DAQ. This system must account for individual customer IT
department firewall restrictions opening the appropriate
ports, etc.
This section will demonstrate typical or common architectures with

design and implementation principles that you can carry over to
other implementations.
Your IT department typically defines network subnets, which the IT
department often separates by functionality. The diagram below is
an example of such a networked architecture.
32
Network devices such as routers, firewalls, and switches are

common mechanisms that physically separate the subnets. If a
firewall separates the subnets, then the different protocols
between the distributed System 1 Clients and Servers will require
the firewall to factor in directional (inbound/outbound)
considerations when opening ports. These devices may restrict the
types of network communications allowed to cross the subnets. In
the above example, the restrictions may be to allow only HTTP
(web access), SMTP (email access) and FTP (file transfer)
communication between Network 1 and Network 2.
33
Section 3 - Licenses
3. Licenses
3.1 System 1 License Agreement
The License Agreement for System 1 software, System 1 Extenders,
and other platform products is available in several locations for you
to review. Licenses for specific System 1 components depend on
the System 1 product packages you have purchased.
NOTE
You can move all licenses including DAQs, Application
Packages, Displays, Points and System Extenders from one
Enterprise to another. Unlimited Displays are restricted to 1
Enterprise and cannot be split between Enterprises.
You can find a copy of the current software license agreement in
the following locations:
On your computer, displayed before installation.

The System 1 licensing process is very complex. Contact your sales
or service representative to upgrade your pre-6.5 licenses, or if you
require additional licensing for your installation.
3.1.4 Microsoft SQL Client Access Licenses (CALs)

You may require a client access license (CAL) to legally access the
SQL server software. A CAL is not a software product. It is a license
that gives you the right to access the services of the server.
Microsoft sells these CALs in blocks of 5 or 10. Every computer that
has 1 or more System 1 applications that access the SQL database
37

requires a SQL CAL. These applications include DAQ, Display, Web
Display, Configuration, Smart Notifier, SMC Client, and DS Studio.

Protocols
4.3.1 DCOM
Distributed Component Object Model is an extension of the
Component Object Model (COM) that allows COM components to
communicate across network boundaries. Traditional COM
components can perform IPC only across process boundaries on
the same machine. DCOM uses the Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
mechanism to send and receive information transparently between
COM components (i.e., clients and servers) on the same network.
4.3.2 SQL
Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server protocol allows
clients to execute SQL commands on a Microsoft SQL Server and
receive output from those commands.
42
4.3.3 NetDDE
Network Dynamic Data Exchange protocol allows DDE
conversations to take place over a network.
4.3.4 OLE
Object Linking and Embedding is a compound document standard.
It allows you to create objects with one application and then link
them to or embed them in a second application. Embedded objects
retain their original format and links to the application that created
them. The Windows and Macintosh operating systems have builtin support for OLE.
4.3.5 OPC (OLE for Process Control)

In 1994, a group of vendors representing a broad spectrum of
disciplines in the industrial segment formed what is now known as
the OPC Foundation. The goal of the OPC Foundation was to
develop a single client/server specification that would allow any
vendor to develop software and applications that could share data
in a fast, robust fashion and eliminate the proprietary schemes that
forced these same vendors to duplicate development efforts. OPC
uses the Microsoft DCOM technology.
4.3.6 TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of
the Internet protocol suite. Applications on networked hosts can
use TCP to create connections to one another, over which they can
exchange data. The protocol guarantees reliable and in-order
delivery of data from sender to receiver. TCP also distinguishes
data for multiple, concurrent applications (e.g. Web and e-mail
servers) that run on the same host.

If your firewall has an option that allows all traffic from an untrusted IP address to a trusted IP address, you can configure the

firewall to allow all client IP addresses to connect to all server IP
addresses. This is a convenient way to avoid the complexity of the
above configuration, but has a distinct disadvantage if a client
machine becomes compromised. If you configure your firewall this

4.5 Microsoft Service Packs & Patches

4.5.1 Service Packs
From time to time, Microsoft releases operating system service
packs that correct defects or problems with the operating system
or SQL server. We thoroughly test these service packs with System
1 software before approving their use on customer systems. Once
we successfully test a service pack, we will post that information on
the following site:
http://www.tsaauthentication.com/swupdate/thirdparty.asp
Service representatives, sales representatives and customers can
see at a glance what service packs we have tested between
releases.
46
4.5.2 Patches
Microsoft releases operating system patches once per month.
When these patches are available, we evaluate them for
compatibility with system operation and determine if or how they
affect System 1 software. If the patches are critical or important
and affect the operation of the System 1 software we test them.
Once we successfully test a patch, we will post that information on
the following site:
http://www.tsaauthentication.com/swupdate/thirdparty.asp
Service representatives, sales representatives, and customers can
see at a glance what patches we have tested.

Section 5 - Installing System 1 Software
5. Installing System 1 Software

Creating a System 1 installation is an involved procedure. We
strongly recommend that a qualified service representative
install and verify your System 1 platform. Their expertise
ensures a complete and operational installation.
The System 1 installation process requires the installation of many
software applications. For network installations, you must
understand the functions of each server and workstation to ensure
that you install the correct software. Use the following procedure
for a first-time installation, for updating an existing installation, or
for re-installing a single software application.

Once you have installed and verified your System 1 platform, refer
to the System 1 Operation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.5 to
configure your Enterprise(s).
5.1 3rd-party Software Prerequisites for

System 1 Software
The System 1 software requires several software applications to be
installed and operational on the distributed computers that are
part of the customers installation architecture.
49
NOTE
On any System 1 computer, the installation utility automatically
installs ALL the pre-requisites except for SQL 2005 Express.
In general, the pre-requisite installation processes require minimal
user interaction. The current requirements include:
50

5.1.1 Internet Explorer 6.0

The Internet Explorer (IE) is Microsofts proprietary graphical web
browser. You use this browser to access online Help and various
Internet sites.
5.1.2 SQL Server

You must install Microsoft SQL Server on every System 1 computer.
SQL Standard Edition is required for computers that host the
System 1 Configuration or Historical databases. The 2 supported
Standard Editions are:
SQL 2000 Standard Edition (SP4)
SQL 2005 Standard Edition (SP2)
Microsoft requires that you install SQL Standard Editions on a

computer with a server grade operating system (System 1 software
supported: Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003).
51

All other System 1 computers can have either:
SQL 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) or
SQL 2005 Express Edition
NOTE
System 1 software maintains backward
compatibility to the SQL Server 2000 for
customers who have SQL already installed. For
newer installations, we recommend that you
install one of the SQL 2005 Editions.
You may purchase the software with your System 1 software, or
from another vendor.
5.1.3 Microsoft SQLXML 3.0 SP2

This is an exporter program that allows System 1 software to
quickly export XML formatted data from SQL databases.
5.1.4 Operating System Service Packs

System 1 software requires Service Packs (SP) for the various
supported Operating Systems.
NOTE
At the time of installation be sure to check
http://www.tsaauthentication.com/swupdate/thirdparty.asp for the
latest service pack requirements, as Microsoft periodically releases
Service Packs to resolve operating system issues.
52

Depending on the Microsoft Windows Operating System installed
on the various System 1 computers, you must install the following
SPs:
Windows XP SP2
Windows 2000 Pro SP4
Windows 2000 Server SP4
Windows 2003 SP2
5.1.5 .NET Framework version 2.0

System 1 software version 6.5 and higher or any installations using
Microsoft SQL 2005 require this software. This is a programming
infrastructure created by Microsoft to build, deploy, and run
applications and services, such as desktop applications and Web
services that use .NET technologies. If this framework is not
installed on your system, the System 1 Installation program will add
it as part of the installation process.
NOTE
If you have .NET version 3.0 or higher installed, you
must exit the System 1 installation, uninstall .NET
3.x, and re-start the System 1 installation.
5.1.6 J2SE 5.0

J2SE is also known as Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition. Sun
Microsystems uses the last digit in the version number for the
number that follows J2SE. Therefore, J2SE version 1.5 would
correspond to J2SE 5.0, as 5 is the last digit in version 1.5.
53
5.1.7 Microsoft Excel 2000+

This is Microsofts spreadsheet application. You use this with the
File Based Configuration (FBC) client to review and modify
Enterprise configurations.
5.1.8 Internet Information Server (IIS)

This is Microsofts Web Server that provides a manageable and
scalable Web application infrastructure for all versions of Windows
Server 2003. Web Display installation requires IIS.
To Install IIS:
1. Select Start, Settings, Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. The Add/Remove
Programs dialog appears.
3. Select Add/Remove Windows Components. The Windows
Components Wizard appears. Notice that, if you are using
Windows 2003 Server, you need to highlight Application
Server and then select Details to display the Windows
Components Wizard.
4. Select the Internet Information Services (IIS) check box.
5. Select Next.
IIS is now installed on your system.
5.2 Installing SQL Server Standard Edition

Computers that host a Configuration or Historical Databases
typically require the SQL software Standard Edition. The only
exception to this rule is the small Enterprise for Portable Data
Collection.
You can order the Standard Edition of SQL Server as an add-on to
the System 1 software. If you are using the Standard Edition of SQL
Server, we recommend that you install this server before you install
54

your System 1 platform. You can install the Standard Edition of
SQL only on a computer running the Microsoft Windows
2000/2003 Server operating system.
All System 1 installations prior to version 6.12 are designed to use
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 4. The System 1
software versions 6.12 and higher are designed to run with
Microsoft SQL Server 2005. This section includes installation
information for both installations.
Note, however, that any System 1 Installation that used SQL 2000
may upgrade to SQL 2005, and any System 1 software installation
(including 6.12 and greater) may continue to use the SQL 2000
Server software.
NOTE
The screens and instructions shown here may not exactly match the
SQL installation screens that you will see. Software updates, different
versions, and other factors can produce differences in the
installation process. Use these instructions as a guideline, or call your
local support office for the latest information.

5.3 System 1 Installation Procedure

Although we recommended that you start the System 1
installation and let the System 1 Previous Version Uninstaller
utility automatically uninstall a previous version of System 1
software, you can manually uninstall any previous version.
5.3.1 Installing Prerequisites

You must log on to the computer as the administrator or as a user
with full administrative privileges.
NOTE
Logging on to the installation computer as a user without
administrative privileges may cause problems with
Windows Operating System, SQL Server, and/or System 1
security. You must have full administrative privileges
throughout the System 1 software installation process.
When you start the System 1 installation process the software may
prompt you to first install some 3rd-party software. Most of these
programs are not optional and you must install them on any
System 1 computer. Select Install to launch their installation. The
installation process will specifically prompt you to allow it to install
any optional prerequisites.
The installation of these prerequisites requires minimal user
interaction.
64
Your System 1 software installation also requires you to install

specific Operating System and SQL Server service packs on the
computer. If the installation process determines that you must
install either of these service packs, it will prompt you to run the
MSSP Installer before you continue with the System 1 installation.
The System 1 software is available either on the DVD or CD-ROM.
The location of the MSSP Installer varies depending on the
installation media.
If you are installing the System 1 software from a DVD, the

Service Packs are located on the System 1 Installation DVD.
1. Exit this System 1 installation (the installation process
will do this automatically when you select OK).
65

2. Locate the file X: setup.exe, where X identifies the DVD
drive, in the folder in which the installation disc is located
(i.e., X:\Service Pack Installations for S1V650).
3. Double-click setup.exe and complete the installation of
the Service Pack(s).
If you are installing the System 1 software from a CD-ROM,

the Service Packs are located on a separate set of CDs
labeled MSSP Installer
1. Exit this System 1 installation (the installation process
will do this automatically when you select OK).
2. Place Disc 1 of MSSP Installer in your CD drive.
3. The MSSP Installer will launch automatically if you have
enabled autorun on your machine. If the installer does
not automatically launch, run X:\setup.exe, where X:
identifies your CD drive, and complete the installation of
the Service Pack(s).
Depending on the service packs you are installing, the software

may prompt you to reboot the computer during this process. We
recommend that you always reboot when the software prompts
you to do so.
The following steps are for a computer with the Windows Server
2003 operating system. If you are installing on a computer with the
Windows XP operating system, see Section 8, MSSP Installer for
Windows XP.
NOTE
This example is specific to these 2 service
packs. The screens will differ if you need
other service packs.
66

4. The MSSP Installer dialog box appears. Select Next.
5. Select Install.
The MSSP Installer will determine which service
packs you must install and will display them here.
67

6. Wait as the MSSP Installer is installed and installs each
operating system service pack.
68

7. If you are using CDs, Place CD 1 in the CD drive. Select OK.
8. Select Yes, I want to restart my computer now. Select

Next.
69

9. After the computer reboots, the MSSP Installer will start

the SQL Administrator password.
If you choose Windows Authentication but are not a
SQL Administrator, you will receive this message.
14. Selection of the checkbox on the Error Reporting dialog box

will not affect the installation. Select OK.
73

15. Select Next to begin the installation.
16. Wait for the installation to complete.
74

17. Read the message. Select OK.
18. Select Finish.
19. When the MSSP installer finishes, restart the System 1

software installation.
5.3.1.1
.NET Framework
If .NET Framework is NOT installed on the computer, the installation
process will install the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework.
If you have Microsoft .Net version 3.0 or newer installed, you must
exit the System 1 installation, uninstall Microsoft .Net 3.x, and restart the System 1 installation.
75

5.3.1.2
SQL Server 2005 Installation
If SQL Server is NOT installed on the computer, installation process
will prompt you to install either the Standard Edition or the Express
Edition.
The SQL Setup of the edition you select proceeds with minimal user
interaction. Some of the setup screens will have the Cancel button
enabled. Do NOT select Cancel as it will abort the entire installation.
After the installation process installs all the pre-requisite software,
the InstallShield Wizard proceeds to install the System 1
components.
5.3.2 System 1 Software
76

The Next button will be enabled. Select Next to continue the
installation process. Selecting Cancel aborts the System 1
installation.

2. Select Next.
a. Select Back to return to the previous screen to check
or modify the previously entered data.
b. Select Cancel to terminate the installation at any
time.
77
5.3.4 System 1 Administrator Account Information
The installation process for previous versions of the System 1

software automatically created the System1Admin account.
However, System 1 v6.5 software offers more flexibility. The System
1 Administrator account can be either
5.3.4.1
the legacy default local System1Admin account, or
an existing Local or Network Domain User account

Section 6 - Verification
6. Verification
It is important that you check your System 1 installation at this
time. The verification process uses the Demonstration database
(included with your System 1 software) and allows you to verify that
the various System 1 modules can communicate with each other
and with the SQL Server. The basic verification process will ensure
that:
The System 1 Management Console Server is correctly

installed and accessible to the System 1 Management
Console Client.
The Enterprise Data Server is correctly installed and can run.
The License Server is correctly installed and can assign

evaluation licenses to the Demonstration Enterprise.
The Configuration software is correctly installed and can

connect to a Demonstration Enterprise Configuration
database.
You can modify the Demonstration Enterprise Configuration

database to specify the location of the Demonstration
Historical database and the Data Acquisition computer.
The Data Acquisition software is correctly installed and can

be linked to the Demonstration Enterprise Configuration and
Historical databases.
The System 1 Display software is correctly installed and can:

o Connect to the Demonstration Enterprise
Configuration database
o Communicate with the System 1 Data Acquisition
software
101

o Communicate with the System 1 Data Acquisition
software
NOTES
1. You must execute the Verification Procedure in the
order in which this section presents it. Several steps in
the Configuration Verification section will prepare the
installation to allow you to successfully verify the
System 1 software.
2. This verification process does not test all of the System
1 applications and interfaces. The online Help system
for the System 1 platform explains and demonstrates
individual applications. Use the information from Help
to configure and execute additional software
applications, exporters, importers and interfaces.
6.1 Demonstration Database

To help you verify and familiarize yourself with your System 1
installation, the System 1 software provides a demonstration
Enterprise. To use this feature, you must select the Demonstration
database when you select the System 1 components that you want
to install.
You may make changes to the Demonstration database, and we
encourage you to use it to view features and functions of the
System 1 software. System 1 Configuration will keep any changes
that you save to the Demonstration database as part of the
Demonstration database.
The Demonstration Database is called DemoVersionX, where X
represents the current release of the software. 2 databases are
necessary: the DemoVersionX Configuration database (named
DemoVersionX_Config), and the Historical Database (named
DemoVersionX_Historical).
102
6.2 Verifying SMC, EDS, License Servers

A central location at the enterprise level, rather than at the DAQ
level, can now handle licensing. This means that during system
setup, you no longer need to bring the license media to every single
computer that will be using System 1 software. Another new
capability is that Technical Support now keeps track of customer
licenses, so that if you ever a need to see the components for
which a customer is licensed, the information will be readily
available.
This section includes instructions for setting up the System 1
Management Console Server, the Enterprise Data Server, the
License Server, and adding evaluation licenses to the
DemoVersion65 enterprise.
Normally, you would have created a new System 1 Enterprise prior
to setting up these System 1 components, but we have already
done so in the DemoVersion Enterprise.

117
6.4 Verify the System 1 Data Acquisition

Software Installation
This section shows how to verify that you have correctly installed
your System 1 Data Acquisition software and that you can connect
to an Enterprise Configuration database. You must perform these
steps in the order in which this section presents them.
1. Log on to the computer that has the System 1 Data
Acquisition Connection Manager.
NOTE
In most cases, the Data Acquisition Connection Manager and the

Your screen may not look exactly like the one above as the
Demonstration database differs from this one and the number of
modules will be different. However, you are looking for many of the
modules to be Running and for the Data Acquisition Server to be
initialized.
This completes the System 1 Data Acquisition software verification.
121
6.5 Verify the System 1 Display Software

Installation
This section describes how to verify that you have correctly
installed your System 1 Display software and that you can connect
to the Demonstration Enterprise Configuration database,
communicate with the Data Acquisition software, and retrieve
current status and historical data from the Demonstration

plot for one of the points in the Demonstration Enterprise.
a. Select a point in the Enterprise and highlight it with a

single left-click. In this example the point BRG01Y has
been selected.
b. Right-click on the selected point.
c. Select Plots.
d. Select Trend.
8. Verify that the System 1 Display software retrieves the
stored trend data similar to the data shown here. Your plot
125

may differ, depending on the database that you are using. If
your plot says No Data:
a. Select the left-point arrow that appears in the lower
left corner of the plot. Click and hold this arrow until
the resulting date is the first part of April 2004. This is
when we collected data for the DemoDatabase65
database. Remember that other databases may not
have data for this time period.
b. The purpose of this exercise is to verify that the
Display software can retrieve System 1 data from the
historical database, and present that data on a
selected Display. You can use any known database,
and select any type of display.

You can access the System 1 Web Display software on any

workstation, laptop, or computer and use it to access a System 1
Enterprise. This Web-based application uses the Internet or Intranet
capabilities of Microsoft Internet Explorer software and .NET
framework to allow you to access data values within the System 1
platform.
Microsoft .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies for
connecting information, people, systems, and devices. It enables a
high level of software integration through the use of Web services
small, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each
other as well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.
Web Display can be extremely useful to operations, maintenance,
diagnostic, and other personnel because it provides the
information they desire without requiring them to install all of the
components necessary for a System 1 Display workstation. Web
Display also does not require that a user be a member of the
Enterprise Domain of the System 1 software, nor even a group user
within the System 1 platform.
If your security level permits you to access a System 1 platform,
AND you have Internet or Intranet access via a network, modem,
high-speed cable, wireless, or other connection, then you have the
necessary components to use Web Display to view System 1 data
values.
127
6.7 Plan System 1 Web Display Server

Installation
In most cases the Web Display Server computer is separate from
the one on which the System 1 Data Acquisition software is
installed. This server must have access to the Data Acquisition
software and to the System 1 Database(s) for the Enterprise(s) you
will access using the Web Display software.
In installations for which clients do not connect to servers through
the Internet, the Web Display Server can also be the Data
Acquisition Server. But in installations for which clients connect to
servers through the Internet, the Web Display Server and DAQ
Server should be separate computers for security reasons.
This graphic shows several different types of communications that
you may use with the Web Display software.

131
6.10 Setup the Web Display Server

The following steps describe how you can set up a Web Display
Enterprise Server that supplies data from a System 1 Enterprise to
Web Display clients. Many of these steps are required when you
add a new user to the system.
6.10.1 Create a Web Enterprise

You can create a new Web Display Enterprise with the Web Display
Enterprise Creation Utility. Launch this utility after you complete the
Web Display Server installation. At any other time, you can also
access the Web Display Enterprise Creation Utility from the System
1 Tools menu via the Start, Programs, System 1, Tools menu.
This utility creates the files and folders for a Web Display Enterprise
from a System 1 Enterprise.
132
1. If you have installed a SQL Server, select Browse for
Enterprise.
2. Select SQL Server and Enterprise Name. Select OK.
These steps will automatically fill in the information
for an existing System 1 Enterprise.
OR
1. Select Allow Manual Input. Type the System 1 Enterprise
information in the boxes.
2. Select Create a New Enterprise to create the files and
folders that make up a Web Display Enterprise.
NOTE
If the properties of your System 1 platform do
not match the information you type in, you
must use this utility again to make appropriate
changes the Web Display Enterprise.
3. The Add Favorite dialog box appears.
4. Note the Name. Select OK. You use this favorite link to
access the Web Display Enterprise.
6.10.2 Add or Remove Web Display Users in System 1

Enterprise
Before any user can log on to the Web Enterprise, the administrator
must use the Security Manager to add user accounts. The
administrator can add user accounts to and remove user accounts
from the Security Manager as needed. The Security Manager is a
tool that you access from System 1 Configuration. The following
instructions explain how to add a user account for the Web Display.
133

1. In the System 1 Configuration software, select Tools,
Security Manager.
2. The Security Manager dialog box appears.
134
3. Select the Users tab.
4. Clear the Windows Authentication checkbox. This means
that the user will access the System 1 Enterprise by a
method OTHER than through Windows.
5. Type the User Name and Password for the user account.
6. Select Add User. This adds the user account to the System 1
Users list.
7. Select OK.
NOTE
Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration after you close
and exit from the Security Manager. You must do this before the System
1 platform will allow the newly added Web Display users to access the
Web Enterprise. When you add a new user, you must wait for the period
specified by the DAQ Polling Interval before the user can log in.
6.10.3
Add User Groups to System 1 Enterprise
Adding Groups is one method of organizing user accounts that

have the same access rights. It also simplifies the process of
changing user access rights. Instead of changing the access rights
for each individual user account, you can change the access rights
for a group of users once. Creating groups for your Web Display
user accounts is helpful.
135

1. In System 1 Configuration, select Tools, Security Manager.
2. The Security Manager dialog box appears.
3. Select the Groups tab.

4. Select Add.
136
5. Type in a name for the group.
6. Select OK.
7. Select a user in the System 1 Users list.
8. Select the < button to move the user into the group. The
user you selected now appears in the Members of Group
list. The << button will move all the users in the System 1
Users list into the Members of Group list.
9. Select OK.
NOTE
Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration
after you close and exit from the Security Manager.
You must do this before the newly added Web Display
users can access the Web Enterprise.
6.10.4 Assign Access Rights to Web Display Users in the

System 1 Enterprise
Each Web Display user account that you add has the access right
that allows the users who belong to the User Account to View
Software Configuration and View Data. This access right allows
them to use Web Display to view data, alarms, and events. This
access right does NOT permit them to acknowledge the alarms and
events or to make changes in the Journal Editor. In order for them
to acknowledge alarms and events, you must give them the
Acknowledge Alarms/Events right or include them into a group
that has this right enabled. To add, remove, or modify journal
entries in the Journal Editor, a user account must have the Edit
Software Configuration access right. None of the other access
rights apply to the Web Display user accounts.
The following graphic shows a selected group called "Plant
Operators" in the Users/Groups list. This group has been given both
137

the View Software Configuration and View Data and the
Acknowledge Alarms/Events access rights. Any user added to this
group acquires the same access rights as those for the group.
NOTE
Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration after you
close and exit from the Security Manager. You must do this before
the newly added Web Display users can access the Web Enterprise.
When you assign new access rights, you must wait for the period
specified by the DAQ Polling Interval before the access rights can
take effect.
138
6.10.4.1 Set the Web Page Security for Web Display Users with the
Page Security Manager.
Each web page on the Web Enterprise site has its own security
settings. An Information Technology (IT) or Network Administrator
should establish these security settings when first setting up the
Web Server.
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Select Favorites. Select the link created in Section 6.10.1.
3. The Web Display Login screen appears.
4. Type your Username and Password. Select Login.
5. The Lobby screen appears. Select Page Security Manager.
6. The Page Security Manager screen appears. Select the
pages that you want to configure.
This screen allows the Administrator to grant or deny access
to the selected pages for every individual user that has been
established for this Web Enterprise installation.
139

7. Select Configure Security For Selected Page(s).
8. The Page Security screen appears.
This dialog allows you to determine which user
accounts can access the web pages that the dialog
lists at the top of the screen. The user accounts in the
All Users list are users that you added to the
Enterprise configuration database using the Security
Manager Tool in the System 1 Configuration
application.
In this example, the Administrator has chosen the
Allow Selected Users option. This option allows
specific users to access the pages that the dialog
lists at the top of the screen. To specify users from
the All Users list, select them, and select the > button
to move them to the Selected Users pane on the
right. Select the Submit button to save the changes.
140
NOTE
If you select either the Allow Selected Users or Deny
Selected User option, the default settings for this page
will allow or deny access to the list of Selected Users that
you specify. Any new user accounts that you add to the
Enterprise configuration database in the future will have
the OPPOSITE of this access, because they were not
among the Selected Users that you originally specified.
6.10.5 Set Preferences for a Group of Users with the Profile

Manager
The Profile Manager allows an Administrator or other Manager to
create groups of users and set the preferences for them. This
includes the Partitioning Preference that determines the parts of
the Enterprise that members of the profile may view by default.
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Select Favorites. Select the link created in Section 6.10.1.
The Web Display Login screen appears.
3. Type your Username and Password. Select Login. The
Lobby screen appears.
4. Select Profile Manager.
To add a new profile for a group of users:
5. Type in a name for the profile in the edit field.
6. Select the Add New Profile button. The profile is added to
the list of profiles.
7. Select the Add/Remove Users link. This link launches a page
that allows you to add users to the profile.
141

After you identify the users for a profile, the program displays a
preferences page. Edit the preferences and set the partitioning
preferences to determine those parts of the Enterprise that the
users in the profile should be able to see.
6.10.5.1
Profile Add/Remove Users
Use this dialog page to determine which user accounts are a part
of the selected profile. Move user accounts from the All Users list to
the Current Members of Profile list to add them to or remove them
from the profile. After you do this, select the Configure Profile
button at the bottom to set the preferences for the profile.
NOTE
When you add a user to a profile,
the program will remove that user
from any previous profile.
142
6.10.5.2
Profile Preferences
The options in the Profile Manager Configuration page are identical

to those in an individual users Preferences Manager page except
for 4 additional check box options. If you select any of these
options and a user in the profile changes these preferences, the
users will no longer be a part of the profile. This allows the
Administrator to enforce users access rights to data.
6.10.5.3
Verify Web Display Client Access
This step, although very simple, is also very critical. If your end
users cannot access their Web Display Enterprise for ANY reason, it
will seem that the entire process has failed. This will be true even if
the failure is due to something as simple as their computer not
having the Microsoft .NET framework software installed.
143

Ensure that the client computers have the required software.
NOTE
The program will automatically forward
users without the .NET framework to the
Prerequisites Download page.
The Microsoft .NET framework is available as a free download from
the Internet. You can also install it from the Prerequisite Download
page.
Verify that client computers can successfully log on to the Web
Display Enterprise.
Use the security utility that is available from the Prerequisites
Download page to ensure that the client computers have
established a trust with the Web Server.
6.11 Setup a Web Display Client

6.11.1
Prerequisites
The Web Display Client setup is simple if
the client computer meets the software requirements, and
the client computer has access to the web server over a

network connection.
NOTE
Do not proceed with the setup instructions below if the
client computer does not meet the above requirements.
144
6.11.2
6.11.2.1
Setup Instructions
Connect the client computer to the System 1 Web Server
Your IT Administrator should supply you with a link or web address

that you can use with Internet Explorer to access the Web Display
Enterprise Server. If not, you must contact your administrator to
request the web address, a username, and a password.
Use the following procedure to log in to your Enterprise.
1. Use Internet Explorer to access the Web Display Login page.
2. Enter your Username and Password.
3. Select the Login button. The Web Display Lobby page
displays after a successful login.
6.11.3
Install the .NET Framework
The System 1 Web Server upon login automatically detects the

existence of the .NET Framework on the client computer. If the web
145

server displays the Prerequisite Download web page after the login
then the client computer is missing the .NET Framework.
1. Select the Download link to get the installation package for
.NET Framework from the Web Server.
2. Do one of the following;

a. Run the installation package from the Web Server
OR
b. Save the installation package to your computer and
then run it.
Follow the instructions in the installation process. At the conclusion
of the installation, the installation package should indicate whether
or not the installation was successful.
146
6.11.3.1
Set the Internet Explorer and .NET Framework security
The Web Display Client computer must fully trust the Web
Display Server. The SecuritySettings.bat file properly sets the
security settings. To download and run the file:
1. Select the Download link to get the file.
2. Directly execute the file by selecting Run, or save the file by

selecting Save and double-click the file to execute the file.
3. Executing the file will automatically set the security settings.
147
Section 7 - System 1 Languages
7. System 1 Languages
7.1 Configuring Languages
System 1 Language Translation allows you to view the System 1
Application windows in a number of languages. 10 languages are
currently available: Chinese (PRC), German, Spanish (European),
French, Japanese, Korean (Wansung), Russian, Italian, Finnish,
Swedish and English (United States).
At this time, System 1 Help is not translated. Currently, the System 1
software translation applies to application sub-menus, short-cut
menus, dialog boxes and messages. Non-translated text is in
English.
7.1.1 Installing the System 1 Language Selector

The core System 1 installation does not include this application. You
install it separately from the System 1 Languages disk.
1. Locate Installation Disk 5 and place it into your CD drive.
2. Double-click X:\Setup.exe, where X identifies the CD drive on
your computer.
3. Follow the instructions of the InstallShield Wizard.
If you are installing System 1 software using a DVD, a separate
language CD is available.
1. Locate Language CD and place it into you CD drive.
2. Double-click X:\Setup.exe, where X identifies the CD drive on
your computer.
3. Follow the instructions of the InstallShield Wizard.
149
150
If you select the Launch System 1? Languages check box, the

wizard will display the System 1 Language Selector dialog.
7.1.2 Using the System 1 Language Selector

The System 1 Language Selector is part of the System 1 Tools
collection. Select Start, Programs, System 1, Tools, System 1
Languages. In the System 1 Language Selector dialog, highlight a
language from the list, and select the OK button.
Open an Enterprise from System 1 Configuration, Display, Smart
Notifier, or Data Acquisition software. If the Enterprise has a license
for the selected language (see below) the System 1 program will
display menus and dialog boxes in that language.
151
152
NOTE
You must close all System 1 applications before changing a
language. The System 1 Language Selector applies the
selected language to all instances of the System 1 client
applications named above, on the computer running the
Language Selector. You cannot have multiple languages
active on a computer simultaneously.
Tip: If the System 1 applications are displaying "?????" rather than
the selected language, then go to Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Regional and Language Options and select the Advanced tab. Set
the Language for non-Unicode programs box the same as the
language you selected in the System 1 platform, and select OK.
7.1.3 Licensing
You can license each Enterprise for as many Languages as you
desire (note that English requires no license). For example, you can
license the Enterprise "PowerPlant1", for French and English (1
language license for PowerPlant1) and license Enterprise
"PowerPlant2" for French, German and Chinese (3 language
licenses for PowerPlant2). You purchase language licenses
separately and use the System 1 License Manager to add them to
your platform.
NOTE
Although each language license applies to a single
enterprise and an enterprise can have multiple language
licenses, applications cannot use different languages at
the same time on the same computer. The selected
language applies to all instances of System 1 client
applications that are running on the computer.
