used for installing on other Windows-based operating systems.

Important Safety Information

Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair
are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often
be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.
A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary
training, skills, and tools in order to perform these functions properly.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If
these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to
other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might
involve a potential hazard.
Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are
not all inclusive. If a tool, a procedure, a work method, or operating technique that is
not recommended by Caterpillar is used. Ensure that the tool, procedure, work method,
or operating technique is safe to use.
Ensure that the product will not be damaged or made unsafe by the operation,
lubrication, maintenance, or the repair procedures that are used.

Procedure for Identifying the LAN

On the back of the PC, there is an TCP/IP Ethernet Port. Once this port has identified
connectivity, the port will begin to establish communication. Communication is
established between multiple locations throughout the operating system. This
verification process can be done either on a dynamic network such as in an office
environment or at a machine with VIMS installed.
The installation process is the same in either environment, however the connection
status message may differ.

"Network Cable unplugged" status.
3. Plug in and unplug the Ethernet cable enough times to identify the network
connection with toggle status.
