Requirements

The Requirements dialog box displays your PIC application's version number and copyright information. This screen also gives the minimum hard disk space is required to install the software.

Program Directory

The nstallation program expands the compressed PIC application and data files and copies them to a directory on the hard disk; unless it is told otherwise, it creates a default directory and installs the application files there.  To install your PIC application on an alternative drive or directory, type the full path and directory name.

Note: Windows uses free hard disk space for temporary memory storage. This may cause an error when installing your PIC application if DOS reports over 3 MB of hard disk space available when that space is actually set aside by Windows for Virtual Memory.

Note: Most of the files on the installation diskette are in a compressed format.  Simply copying the files from the installation diskette to your hard disk will result in a faulty installation.


Parameters
Installation Parameters

During installation, you will see a dialog box requesting the following information.  You may fill in this  information after your PIC application has been installed by selecting System Parameters from the Setup dialog box.

User Name, Company Name, Street, City, Fax Number, and Phone Number all appear on outgoing fax cover sheets.

The Company Name also appears in the heading line of all outgoing fax transmissions.

The Communication Port is the port the voice fax board uses for all communications (this includes answering voice and fax calls, as well as sending faxes). Check the User's Guide of your voice fax board to determine the appropriate communication port. Consult  Chapter 1 or Appendix A (Troubleshooting) in the your PIC applications Manual if you have any questions regarding COM ports.

The Fax/Voice Modem box has two options:

The first, Automatic Fax/Voice Detection, determines the type of modem connected to your system.

The second allows you to install the software without a modem.

When you have entered the correct options and parameters, click on Ok.  You will be able to Cancel installation.
