Appendix A: Installing Business Manager

Introduction

Overview

This section shows you how to install the Business Manager application onto your computer using the ECS Setup program. The ECS Setup program is a very useful application, as it allows you to easily add, remove, and update all of your ECS applications. For the scope of this section, however, you will use it simply to install your Business Manager application. For more information on the ECS Setup program, refer to the ECS Redbook.

There are three different instances in which you would install the Business Manager application:

• You purchased any telephone software application after you purchased all of the other applications included with your Center Owner package of applications.

• You purchased any telephone application to install on your own computer (i.e., not a computer purchased from ECS).

• You want to update the version of this application that is currently on your computer with the updated version.

Customer Number	This is the number that ECS assigns to you. If you need supplies, technical support, or any other assistance, the person you talk to at ECS will ask you for this number. This makes it easier for them to understand your situation, and to decide how best to serve you.
Software	The actual applications that install on your computer. If 'Hardware' is the brain, then 'Software' is the thoughts that the brain is thinking.

Installing the Application

If you purchased a ECS computer and any telephone software application at the same time, the Business Manager software is already properly installed. If you purchased any telephone software application after you received your ECS computer or you do not have a ECS computer, you will need to install the Business Manager software on your computer.

The Business Manager application comes as a multiple disk set. The disks must be installed in order from disk #1 to the last disk. Your 3 1/2" floppy disk drive may be either the A: drive or the B: drive on your computer. Not all computers are the same. Perform the following steps to install Business Manager:

Leave or exit any application you are currently running.

In Windows 95

• If you're using Windows 95, click on the Start button to display the Start menu.

• Click on the Programs option to display the Programs menu.

• Locate the ECS Setup Application option in the Programs menu, then click on it. The ECS Windows Application Setup window appears, similar to the one shown:

The ECS Windows 95 Application Setup Window

In Windows 3.1

If you're using Windows 3.1, locate the ECS Setup Application icon in the ECS Business Applications group, then double click it. The ECS Windows Application Setup window appears, similar to the one shown below.

The ECS Windows 3.1 Application Setup Window

• Notice that your name and ECS customer number appear at the top of the install box, and that the ECS applications you purchased initially display in the Application list in the center of the box.

• Place the application installation disk #1 in the floppy drive of your computer, and close the disk drive. If you do not, an advisory message asks you to close the disk drive.

• If the Business Manager application appears in the Application list, then click on this option so that it is highlighted. If it does not appear in the list, move to the next step.

• If the application does not appear in the list, then click the Add New button. You then choose which drive to install the application from by clicking either the Install from drive A option or the Install from drive B option. Once you choose, click OK.

• If the application appears in the Application list, then click the OK button to begin the installation.

• The Install box appears, and displays the name of the application you are installing as well as the space required to install the application. The box also contains the entries Inbound Speeches and Outbound Speeches. These are sets of speeches used in the Inbound and Outbound Telenotification programs.

• You may choose to install the selected application and/or the speeches by clicking the check box to the left of the desired option. A check mark appears in the box of the selected item or items. When you finish selecting the options, click the OK button.

If for some reason you must stop the installation process, you can press the Esc key. A setup box appears, and you must confirm that you wish to discontinue installation. Clicking Yes stops the installation, while clicking No continues the installation.

The Installing Files message box displays, and the installation process begins. When disk #1 completes loading, a message on the screen tells you to insert disk #2 and press any key to continue. If your Business Manager application came to you on only one disk, the program will not ask you to insert any more disks. Continue this process until you have loaded all of the disks in the set.

When the loading process is complete, you return to the install box. Click the Cancel button, and you return to your regular Windows display. The icon for Business Manager will now appear in your ECS Business Applications group window if you're using Windows 3.1 or in the ECS Business Applications list if you're using Windows 95. Then you may begin using the program.
