3 Installation
Note: The order in which installation steps are performed is very important – read carefully.
Step 1 – If you are using a CsCAN PCI interface card (HE200KGM561) or CsCAN USB interface card
(HE200KGM571), install it completely per its instructions.
Note: Refer to the Technical Support section in this datasheet for the Horner web address to
obtain the Quick Start Guide for CsCAN (PCI and USB) Interface products (MAN0804).
Step 2 – Install the standard KEPServerEX install package by executing the file KEPServerEX.exe.
Follow the installation instructions to completion.
Step 3 – Place the horner_OCS_u.dll file in the KEPServerEX Drivers folder. The standard location for
this folder is C:\Program Files\KEPServerEx\Drivers\.
Step 4 – Place the Cscan.dll file in the Windows System 32 folder. The standard location for this folder
on many computers is C:\WINDOWS\system32\.
Step 5 – Place the horner_OCS.chm file in the KEPServerEX Help folder. The standard location for this
folder is C:\Program Files\KEPServerEx\Help\.
Note: If you obtain this file electronically – not from the CD – the file can be named
horner_OCS.txt. This is named as such to prevent being blocked by many network
firewalls. You need to rename the file manually to horner_OCS.chm before moving it to
the correct location.
Step 6 – Reboot your computer.
Step 7 – Run the KEPServerEX software. Click on Help and select License a Driver or Plug-in…
