1 INTRODUCTION

This document describes how to set up and troubleshoot the IGSS 7TOMRTCP Interface Driver.
The driver implements the Omron FINS protocol stack on Ethernet using UDP/IP.

1.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

None (see Hardware Requirements below).
The driver is designed to be used with IGSS version 8.0 and higher.

1.2 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

2 INSTALLATION

2.1 AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION

The driver is normally installed automatically along with the rest of the IGSS system. To verify if the driver has
been installed open the System Configuration (sysconfig.exe) and check if a driver with ID:85 is present in the
list of available drivers:

If the driver is present then you can proceed to the next section: “Configuring the Driver”, otherwise install the
driver using the manual installation procedure described below.

2.2 MANUAL INSTALLATION

Using the following step-by-step guide will install the driver manually on a PC where the IGSS system has
already been installed. You need to stop the IGSS system prior to the installation and you need to be logged
in with a user account with “Administrator” rights.

Step 1: Verify that the files:

7TOMRTCP.DLL
7TOMRTCPc.DLL
COMMDRV.REG (latest updated version)

exists in the GSS\ directory. If the files doesn’t exists run the IGSSUpdateClient to get the files from the 7T
WEB server – or contact 7T Support (

Step 2: Double-click on the COMMDRV.REG file to import the registry settings needed for the system to
recognize the driver.

[e-mail]) to get the files via e-mail.
