1.3 Classroom Kit

For educational purposes, 20-sim is available as a Classroom Kit. A Classroom Kit allows the owner to

make unlimited copies for use by students and teachers. Copies may be used at the educational

institute or at home. A Classroom Kit comes with two types of licenses:

student license which may be distributed among students

floating license which can be installed at the educational institute

Student License

A student license has no copy-protection but a time limitation of about one year. Controllab Products

B.V. will take care that every year a new student license is sent to the owner of a Classroom Kit.

1. The student license has to be stored separately. You have to make copieswhenever you

want to distribute this license (or place it on your intranet).

This license can only be used when copies are made from the original file. Once it has been used it

cannot be copied anymore. Of course the staff is also allowed to use the student license. This licensemay also be used by students and staff at home.

2.

Install 20-sim 4.1. For installation guidelines see section 1.1.

3.

Overwritethe existing license file20sim.lic with the student license. Usually the

existing license can be found at: "C:\Program Files\20-sim 4.1\bin".

Floating License

The floating license will have no time limitation but it is copy protected. It allows you to use 20-sim

on multiple machines. For a floating license, all 20-sim programs use a license file that is stored on a

central location.

1.

To install a floating licensefollow the instructions of section 1.2.

2 20-sim 4C 1.1

2.1 Introduction

20-sim 4C is a prototyping environment that allows you to connect 20-sim models to physical

systems. To test the proper working we have to check that both 20-sim 4C and 20-sim are installedand a target is connected.

2.2 Connecting the Target

20-sim 4C uses an ethernet connection to communicate with a target. This connection can be

established by a cross cable that is connected between your PC and the target directly or by a

network connection. Using a cross-cable to connect the host PC to the target is recommended if you

start 20-sim 4C for the first time.

Plug in the cross cable or network cable.

Cross Cable

1. Plugthe cross cablein the connector of your target.

2.

The other endof the cross cablemust beplugged into your PC computer.

It may last several minutes before your PC will notice that a cross cable is connected. So be patient if

20-sim 4C cannot make a connection immediately.

Network Cable

1. Plug the network cablein the connector of your target.

2. The other endof the network cablemust be plugged into a switch or hub of the

network.

Use a 'normal' network cable to connect your target via a switch or hub to your network. If your

network provides a DHCP server the configuration is automatic. If your network does not provide a

DHCP server make sure your network is configured in the 192.168.1.x range and that your PC

computer has a proper connection to the network.
