This guide is used as an example for installing VIMSpc 2011A and VIMSpc 2013A. This example is using VIMSpc 2013A on a Windows 7 (64-bit) PC. This guide can be used for installing on other Windows-based operating systems.

Important Safety Information

Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read this Special Instruction and you understand this information. Use only proper tools and observe all precautions that pertain to the use of those tools. Failure to follow these procedures can result in personal injury. The following procedures should also be observed.

Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.

A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools in order to perform these functions properly.

Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.

Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are not all inclusive. Ensure that any tool, procedure, work method, or operating technique you use that is not recommended by Caterpillar is safe.

Ensure that the product will not be damaged or the product will not be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance, or repair procedures used.

Note: Caterpillar recommends that each customer conducts a risk assessment for remote control operation and establish layers of protection in and around the area of the remote controlled machine and establish safe job site procedures. Examples may include personnel training, warning signs, and barricades.

Note: Prior to operation of the machine read the Operation and Maintenance Manual.

Procedure for Identifying the LAN

On the back of the PC, there is an TCP/IP Ethernet Port. Once this port has identified connectivity, the port will begin to establish communication. Communication is established between multiple locations throughout the operating system. This verification process can be done either on a dynamic network such as in an office environment or at a machine with VIMS installed.

The installation process is the same in either environment, however the connection status message may differ.
