HOW TO USE EFFICIENTLY THE ANASYG/PRESYG CAL ?


The content of this page gives information about the characteristics of the PC you need to use to consult this CAL and provides you with the required software to obtain a correct behaviour of this program.   


The Personal Computer and the characteristics of the screen

The ANASYG-PRESYG CAL on this CD-ROM can be used with every multimedia PC having the following minimal characteristics :

- Pentium 166 Processor
- 32 Mo RAM
- CD-ROM drive 4X
- Screen : 1024 x 768 pixels in millions of colors
- Mouse
- Windows Operating System (95, 98, NT)

It is not necessary to have a sound card nor any specific plug-in. The access to the html pages being done directly from the CD-ROM, no supplementary disk space is needed.
 
 


The browser

In order to browse the CAL it is necessary to have a relatively recent version of a current browser. This CAL has been tested with  Netscape Communicator version 4.5 and 4.7. If you do not have any of these browsers you can download Netscape Navigator Version 4.08 (in english) from the present CD-ROM and implement it by following the instructions displayed on the screen during the installation process.  

When using Internet Explorer 5  this CAL can also be visualized.

Nevertheless, with all of these browsers, it is necessary to have on your PC a "local server", in order to use all the potential of the CAL.


The local server

A free local server easy to implement and to configure, XITAMI, is proposed on this CD-ROM.


Implementation of the local server

You can  download the local server XITAMI from this CD-ROM and implement it on your PC by following the instruction displayed on your screen by the installation program. The implementation is relatively simple : click on  "next" after every question and do not forget to choose a user name (admin for example) and a password (*) which will allow you to configure the server.


Configuration of the local server XITAMI

After having implemented the local server  XITAMI on your PC, you need then to configure XITAMI to specify the files you want to access through this local server.


Use of the local server to access the cdrom

Launch your browser and insert the adress http://127.0.0.1/cdrom. You will probably display the CAL home page. You only have to add this adress to your bookmarks.

If the icon X is not present in the in the taskbar near the clock (bottom right) you have to launch first the local server (by clicking on  Xitami Web Server which should be included in the menu Start) before launching the browser.
