controlled by the IT organization. Consult your company’s
practices and IT organization for the appropriate IP address
information. It will be necessary to use valid IP information to
integrate the ProcessLogix Control system with the Business

IP Addresses are critical to the communication of
the system. Rockwell Automation suggests, when
possible, to utilize a Private Network for the control
system. (Not connected to any other networks.)
This isolates the control system from interference

Setting Up Additional Drivers
Using the Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating System CDs to perform
an installation contains only a finite set of drivers for the most
common hardware items at the time of its release.
Rockwell Automation considers this set to be the “base” set of drivers.
Manufacturers will update their drivers over time to fix anomalies or
provide additional features that were not available at the time of their
release on the CD. Also, as newer hardware is developed, additional
drivers may be required to utilize these devices in the system.
Third Party Platforms
Rockwell Automation recommends that you check your PC Supplier
for driver/software upda tes pertain in g to running th e Window s 2 000
Operating System on the platform. It may be necessary to upgrade or
install additional drivers to utilize the hardware in your system.
IMPORTANT
Hardware drivers affect the stability of the system
and should be evaluated for their impact before
implementing.

About the Activation File
Use the following procedure to move the activation file (evrsi.sys)
from the RSLinx software Master Disk to the hard drive where RSLinx
Publication 1757-IN040B-EN-P - March 2002
ProcessLogix Server Installation Procedures 3-11
is to be operated. The PC cannot execute the full OEM version of the
RSLinx application if the activation file is not present on its hard drive.
IMPORTANT
ATTENTION
!
Complete Step 1 and Step 2 in the following
procedure to determine your current RSLinx version.
If you need to reformat the hard drive, you must first
move the activation file back to the RSLinx Master
Disk using the same general procedure as follows.
Otherwise, the file will be corrupted and you will not
be able to run RSLinx in the OEM mode.
Before you attempt to move the activation file, you
MUST exit all ProcessLogix applications and stop all
ProcessLogix services. Refer to Stopping ProcessLogix
Applications and Services on page 8-1.
Do not manually copy or move the evrsi.sys file.
Moving/coping the evrsi.sys file will disable the OEM
version of RSLinx.
Always use the EVMOVE.EXE program to move the
evrsi.sys file. If the evrsi.sys file is corrupted or
manually moved, resulting in RSLinx changing to Lite
version, you can visit the Rockwell web site
(http://suppport.automation.rockwell.com/resetcodes/
) to recover the RSLinx activation.
Determining the Current RSLinx Version
1. Click Start⇒Programs⇒Rockwell Software⇒RSLinx⇒RSLinx to
open the RSLinx application.
2. Check the application title in the title bar.,
• If the title is RSLinx Lite go to Step 3.
• If th e tit le i s RSLinx OEM you already h ave th e OE M versi on
installed and you do not have to install the activation file.
