  • Double click the downloaded file (self extracting archive) to extract the necessary files for installation
  • Note that no special archiving tools are required for the above operation 
  • Please follow the installation instructions contained in the manual that accompanies your product

Please see the Eicon Networks helpweb if you have any problems during the installation of your product.

Note:
Archives distributed by Eicon Networks are sealed with a security envelope. If an archive has been modified or tampered with in any way, the envelope is damaged. You can check the envelope integrety with the following procedure before you double click the downloaded file:

Why are some download files password protected?

Basically, because the software is either not free, a beta version, or of restricted availability:

  • Please contact your Eicon Networks sales representative to acquire a license if the software is not free
  • For information about our Beta Testing program, see the section below.
