General Information
R&S ARGUS - Installation Manual
1.2 General Information The Installation Manual ARGUS describes all relevant aspects concerning the installation and configuration of hardware and software used in ARGUS systems. The main purpose of this manual is to serve as reference work for supporters who install and/or use ARGUS systems. This manual is a collection of information of which by far the greatest part originates from installation instructions of outside suppliers or results from experience accumulated to date with systems operating under Windows 7 and 8. For this reason this manual cannot by its nature provide a complete description covering every eventuality within the meaning of the Product Liability Law. Consequently claims under the Product Liability Law will not be allowed. Although this is a reference work the structure of this manual gives an indication of the sequence and the procedure for installing and setting up the systems. Rohde & Schwarz therefore highly recommends that all relevant sections for any computer be followed in the given order to ensure complete installation.
The instructions and descriptions contained in this manual require knowledge of the elements of Windows 7/8 and the configuration of this operating systems.
Generally, you must be logged on as a user with Administrator rights to install the necessary drivers, utilities, patches and ARGUS software on your computer.
ARGUS Monitoring Software and data is protected by Login. A password reset only can be performed by an ARGUS user of user group administrator. A passwort reset by Rohde & Schwarz is not possible. Rohde & Schwarz highly recommend automatic generation of backup files to protect the data in case of lost administrator password. Should you encounter any problems that have not been mentioned in this manual, please contact the representative in your country or Rohde & Schwarz, Munich, directly. Describe the problem and the solution you have found as accurately as possible. Sometimes it is necessary to work with the Registry Editor regedt32.exe in
:\SYSTEM32 or ArgusRegEdit.exe in ARGUS6\Execute folder. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows 7/8. Rohde & Schwarz cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of the Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk. Rohde & Schwarz does provide some shareware utilities cause we think that this utilities are very useful to make daily work with the system easier. Rohde & Schwarz is not responsible for the registration of the software. If used in the customer’s system this shareware must be licensed. In order to do this please contact the Manufacturer via it’s internet homepage.

Structure
R&S ARGUS - Installation Manual
1.3 Structure This Support Manual is a collection of know-how concerning the structure of ARGUS systems. Because of the sometimes vastly different needs of users the different chapters and individual sections of this manual have been structured clearly and in an easy-to-follow manner. Every chapter contains topics from a specific field. The order of these topics within any chapter has been chosen to represent the logical order of installation of an ARGUS system. All sections that contain installation or configuration instructions are structured in three parts: 1. Background information on the specific topic 2. Step-by-step installation instructions 3. Information on problems that could arise. The user therefore can search for any one of these parts of information. In all sections containing installation and configuration instructions particular care was taken to adhere to the same structure which gives the user the possibility of orienting him/herself according to the clear sub-headings within every section. These sections have the following structure: The first paragraphs of a section contain general background information on the topic of that section. This information is meant for readers who want to learn more about the topic of that section. Execution The execution describes the optimum sequence of installation or configuration in consecutive steps. Verification Here you will find very brief hints on how you can check out whether your installation or configuration was successful. Troubleshooting Under this sub-heading you will find information on problems that can occur during or after the installation or configuration.
