WELCOME TO  OfficeCom  INSTALLATION

The installation process for OfficeCom is a straight forward and simple process. We have included two diskettes that contain all the information that you need. Well almost…. We do need to make several modifications to your network settings so that the program can talk to all the other computers on your network. The following paragraphs and pictures will show you exactly what you need to do prior to using the provided diskettes.

OfficeCom software requires Windows 95 or higher to run. Anyone still using Windows for Workgroups 3.1 will need to upgrade to Windows 95 on all stations that you wish to utilize OfficeCom capabilities.

1)  Close all applications on your workstation.
2)  Left click on the START icon
3)  Left click on  SETTINGS
4)  Left click CONTROL PANEL
5)  Double Click on NETWORK
 
 

 If you do not see a line that describes a TCP/IP settings for your network card do the following:
 
6)  Left Click on Add
7)  Left Click on Protocol

8)  Left Click on Add
9)  Left Click on Microsoft and Left Click on TCP/IP
10)   Left Click on OK
 

Windows may or may not ask you to insert your Windows 95 CD or diskettes in order to install the necessary programs to run the TCP/IP network protocol. Simply follow their instructions and it will return you to the next window. 

Highlight the TCP/IP with a left click and click on Properties.
The following window will appear:

 
 

Click in the circle to Specify an IP address and then type in 192 [space] 1 [space] 1 [space] X.   The X represents the individual computer you are on. For the demo enter a [1]. For network installations each computer must have a unique number, as in this case [3].

Click on the ‘Gateway’ tab and the following window will appear:
 
 

Type in the same numbers 192 [space] 1 [space] 1 [space] 1 and then click on Add. The numbers will appear in the installed gateways box. Click on OK.
Click OK again on the Network Configuration Screen and Windows will probably tell you to restart Windows. 

OK, we are ready to install the software. Insert diskette #1 and click on ‘Start’ ‘Run’ and it should be at A:/setup.exe. Click on OK and it will install completely automatically. It will create your icons as well. 

Please refer to OfficeCom configuration instructions for doing the customization procedures.
