963 on another PC, another licence must be purchased, or the existing licence transferred to the other PC as
described in the 'Transfer the Licence to a Different PC' section of these instructions.
If 963 is already licensed, and you want to upgrade the licence to allow client/server operation, or more clients,
contact us and purchase the appropriate upgrade. You will then be provided with a new site key that must be entered
before the new facilities will be available.
To licence 963:
1. Obtain an unlock code as described in the ‘Obtain an Unlock Code’ section of these instructions.
2. Enter the unlock code as described in the ‘Enter the Unlock Code’ section of these instructions.
The 963 uses CrypKey to perform the licensing functions. CrypKey may not work after disk defragmentation using
Speed Disk included in Norton utilities. This problem may exist with other defragmentation programs; see the
‘Problems with Defragmentation Programs’ section of the 963 Engineering Manual (TE200637).
The use of virus scanning and anti spyware programs may also cause problems with the licence as the may remove
one of the CrypKey files, see the ‘Problems with Virus Scanning and Anti Spyware Programs’ section of the 963
Engineering Manual (TE200637).
2.8.1 Obtain an Unlock Code
To licence 963 it is necessary to obtain an unlock code.
6. Click Update, a dialogue box is displayed informing you that the 963 has been licensed. If you want to
view a text file containing detailed licence information is displayed click Yes, otherwise click No.

configuring the connection see the ‘Configure the GSM Connection’ section of these instructions.
2.9 Connect the GSM Modem
If 963 SMS Direct is being used it is necessary to connect the PC the supplied GSM modem. The modem should be
connected to the PC as described in the documentation supplied with the modem. Once the modem is connected to
the PC the GSM connection must be configured as described in the ‘Configure the GSM Connection’ section of
these instructions.
Note that the GSM modem supplied with 963SMS Direct does not contain a SIM card. The SIM card should be
obtained separately before connecting the GSM modem.
To connect the GSM modem:
1. Obtain a SIM card.
2. Connect the GSM modem to the PC as described the supplied documentation.
Do not install the mobile phone tools on the CD supplied in the modem package as they may interfere with
the operation of 963 SMS.
If the 963 has been licensed with SMS direct it is necessary to configure the GSM connection that is to be used. The
first time 963/…/SMS is run a dialogue box enabling the GSM connection to be configured is displayed. You can
choose to configure it then, or it can be done later. The GSM connection can either be configured automatically or
manually, as described in the ‘Manually Configure the GSM Connection’, or ‘Configure the GSM Connection
Manually’ sections of these instructions.
When configuring the GSM connection it is recommended that any PIN requirement of the SIM be disabled, the use
of PINs is NOT recommended. 963 does allow the use of PINs, however if the SIM card is swapped and an
incorrect PIN number is present within the supervisor the SIM is likely to become locked. This is because 963
attempts to unlock the SIM and after three incorrect attempts the SIM will be locked and a PUK number is required.
963 keeps track of how many times the PIN is entered and will warn you if it thinks you are about to lock your SIM.
The PUK is available from whatever mobile phone network you are using and can be unlocked using any standard
mobile phone.
If a pay as you go SIM is being used to send the alarms it is recommended that a scheduled event be set up to send a
regular SMS message to keep the SIM active. Some pay as you go SIM cards will be deactivated by the provider if
they are not used for a period of time.
2.10.1 Configure the GSM Connection Automatically

controllers earlier than v1.3 do not support hostname addressing.
9. In the Socket Scan From box enter the port number of the first vCNC in the range of vCNCs to which 963
can connect (e.g. 10005).
10. In the Socket Scan To box enter the port number of the last vCNC in the range of vCNCs to which 963 can
connect (e.g. 10006).
963 will be able to connect to the IQ network using any of the ports in the specified range. Because each
port has a specific address on the IQ network, the address of 963 on the IQ network will vary depending on
which port it uses.
If alarms are to be sent to 963 through this device, the top and bottom of the range must be the same
to ensure the same network address is used each time 963 is started.
11.If 963 is to only access remote TCP/IP sites select the Click here if you have no local site
communications check box.
12. Click OK.
13. Restart 963.
Note that if the device containing the virtual CNC goes into link/local mode (e.g. DHCP server fails) the 963s
connection to the IQ network will be lost. This is expected behaviour if the PC is on the same network segment as
the device containing the virtual CNC restart the PC. If the device is on a different subnet it will be necessary to fix
the problem that caused the device to go into link/local mode.
2.12.1 Connect over the Current Loop
3 can be connected the IQ network over the IQ current loop using a NBOX/CNC2, which must be purchased
96
separately.
To connect to the IQ network over the current loop:
1. Ensure the 963 is not running.
2. Install the NBOX/CNC2 as described in the supplied installation instructions and connect it to the PC
running 963.
3. Run 963. It will automatically detect the communications speed between its serial port and the
NBOX/CNC2 used for this communication.
If this automatic detection fails the communications settings can be configured manually.
To configure the communications setting manually:
1. Log in as someone who can display the Communications Window.
2. Press F1 to display the Information Centre.
3. Click
. The Communications Window will be displayed.
4. Click Configure Comms. The Local Site Connection Setup dialogue box is displayed.
5. Click Specific COM Port and enter the required COM port number. Clicking Auto Scan Com Port will
cause 963 to find the port that is connected to the NBOX/CNC2 automatically which is the default, and
should only be changed if there are communication problems.
6. Click OK.
7. Restart 963.
2.13 Check Communications
Once 963 is connected to the IQ network it is advisable to check that the communications are working correctly by
looking at the Basic Communications Display, shown below. The display appears at the bottom of 963’s window.
It provides information about the status of communications in and out of the node connecting 963 to the IQ network,
and the status of any remote connection devices on the system.
TX and RX indicators: These flash green when 963 receives, or transmits information. If they appear grey,
the 963 has been unable to locate the CNC.
Remote connection indicator: If grey, all of the devices are available for use, if red, at least one of them is
attempting to make a connection, and if green, at least one is connected. Clicking this icon displays the Remote Connection Window.

7. Run 963. If the database exists 963 will connect to it, if not a dialogue box is displayed informing you that
it can't connect to the database, click Yes to enable 963 to create a new database.
In most situations upgrading form an earlier version of 963 will simply be a matter of inserting the 963 CD and
following the instructions on the screen. the existing version of 963 will be upgraded to the latest version, and the
963's database updated accordingly. There should be no need to relicence 963.
In the following circumstances it will be necessary to follow a different installation procedure.
Upgrading a 963 where the 963's database is running on a remote SQL server (i.e. on another PC). See the
'Upgrade 963 when the Database is on a Remote PC' section of this manual for details.
Upgrading from 963v1.x or 962 it may be necessary to check the SQL queries. See the 'Upgrade from 936
v1.x or 962' section of this manual for details.
2.16.1 Upgrade 963 when the Database is on a Remote PC
If u
pgrading a 963 where the 963's database is running on a remote SQL server (i.e. on another PC) the installation
program will not be able to perform the necessary updates to the 963's database on the remote PC therefore it will be
necessary to manually upgrade the 963 database on the remote PC.
To upgrade 963 when the database is on a remote PC:
1. Run 963.
2. Log in. If using 963 Secure log in as a user in the ‘System Administrator’ workgroup.
3. On the Database menu click Properties. The Database Properties dialogue box is displayed.
4. Select the Detach database after supervisor has been shutdown check box.
5. Click OK.
5. Close 963.

described in the 'Install the 963 Software' section of this manual.
8. Do not run 963.
9. Copy the 963 database files (mdf and ldf files in the C:\Program Files\Trend Control Systems\963\database
directory) from the remote PC to the same location on the 963 PC.
10. Run notepad, and open the S2.INI file in the install directory (normally c:\program files\trend control
systems\963).
Note that if the 963 is running on Windows Vista™ you must run notepad with administrator rights. This
will require you to have access to a password for a Windows user with administrator rights.
13. Search through the file to find the following line:
[DATABASE]
Server=
14. Make a note of the 'Server=' setting you will need it later.
15. Change the 'Server=' setting to '.' so 963 uses the local database files as shown below.
Server=.
15. Run 963. The local database files will be updated.
16. Close 963.
17. Copy the 963 database files (mdf and ldf files in the C:\Program Files\Trend Control Systems\963\database
directory) from the 963 PC to the same location on the remote PC.
18. Set the 'Server=' setting in the [DATABASE] section of S2.INI file back to the original setting before it
was changed in step (15).
19. Run 963.
2.16.2 Upgrade from 963 v1.x or 962
f 963 v1.x or 962 has been installed and engineered on the PC, it is possible to upgrade to the latest version of 963
I
without having to re-engineer the system. However a new licence is required to enable 963 to run if upgrading from
962. The upgrade process will make a backup of the previous system so that if you decide not to purchase 963 it is
possible to return to the original system.
If installing 963 on a PC that has a full installation of SQL server earlier than SQL Server 2005 it is necessary to
upgrade to SQL Server 2005.
Note that historic alarms are not imported from the old 963 database. However they can still be viewed by viewing
historic records, and specifying the old database. Schematic pages in version 2 are not backwards compatible with
version 1. Therefore if pages are required to run in both version 1 and version 2 they must be engineered with 963
v1.
To upgrade from 963 v1.x or 962:
1. If upgrading a 963 which has password protection set up turn off the password as described in the ‘Turn
Off the Database Password in 963 v1’ section of these instructions.
2. Backup the database files, and any other data files before upgrading 963.
3. If SQL Server has been prevented from performing command execution this must be re-enabled, see the
'Restrict SQL Servers Ability to Perform Command Execution' section of the 963 Engineering Manual
(TE200637).
4. Close 963.
5. Install 963 as described earlier in this section ensuring that the 963 is installed in the same directory as
original 963.
6. If the old configuration uses the VIEWQUERY, QUERYTOTEXTFILE, or PRINTQUERY actions it is
recommended that you check the SQL queries to ensure that they work correctly and if necessary fix the
problem as described in the ‘Check SQL Queries’ section of these instructions.
7. Alarm actions configured for a specific point are no longer supported a suitable alarm filter and alarm
group should be configured instead
2.16.2.1 Turn Off the Database Password in 963 v1
If upgra
ding a 963 Secure that has password protection set up it is necessary to turn the password off.
To turn off the database password:
1. Log in as a user in the ‘System Administrator’ workgroup.
2. Click
, or on the Mode menu click Users to select the User Display.
3. Right-click the System Administrator workgroup, and click Properties. The Workgroup Information
dialogue box is displayed.
4. Click the System Administrator tab.
5. Click Set Database Password. A dialogue box asking if you are sure you want to change the database
password is displayed.
6. Click Yes. A dialogue box is displayed that instructs you to restart 963.
7. Click OK to return to the Workgroup Information dialogue box.
8. Click OK to close the Workgroup Information dialogue box.
9. Close 963.
10. Run 963. As 963 loads the Database Password dialogue box is displayed.
11. In the Please enter the old password box enter the current password.
If upgrading from a version of 963 earlier than v2.1 that uses the VIEWQUERY, QUERYTOTEXTFILE, or
PRINTQUERY actions it is recommended that you locate the places they are use and ensure that they work
correctly and if necessary fix the problem. This is because the database format used by v2.1 is different from earlier
versions of 963 and therefore these actions may now fail. Theses action can be used on schematic pages, alarms
actions, and in scheduled events. Some tools have been provided help you locate the places these actions are being
used. Once you locate where these actions are used you should check each one in turn to ensure that it works
correctly, and if not modify the SQL. For details of the 963’s database structure see the ‘Databases’ section of the
963 Engineering Manual (TE200637)l.
To check the SQL queries:
1. Log in.
2. On the Tools menu point to Search SQL From and then click Schematics, Scheduler, or Alarms
depending on which area of the 963 is to be searched. It may be necessary to search all three areas.
If Schematics was selected the Find SQL on Schematic dialogue box is displayed.
In the Select action to find box select the action that you want to search for. To search for all three
actions select All.
In the Search Options area select the schematic pages that are to be searched. Click Search current
schematic/folder to search the folder selected in the Navigator, or Search all schematics to search all
schematics.
To create a log file of the search results select the Generate log file check box.
To prevent the search results being displayed in the Results box clear the View Results check box.
Click Find. The search will be carried out. If the View Results check box is selected the results will be
displayed in the Results box. To goto to a schematic page that has matched the search click it in the
Results box and click GOTO Selected Page.
If Scheduler was selected a dialogue box listing any scheduled events that use the VIEWQUERY,
QUERYTOTEXTFILE, or PRINTQUERY actions.
If Alarms was selected a dialogue box listing any alarm actions that use the VIEWQUERY,
QUERYTOTEXTFILE, or PRINTQUERY actions.
When you upgrade from an earlier version of 963, or 962 a backup of the system is made in a subdirectory of the
install directory called 963_backup, or 962_backup. This means that if you decide not to use the latest version of
963 it is possible to return to the original system.
To return to the original system:
1. Copy the entire contents of the backup directory Backups into the install directory, normally c:\program
files\trend control systems\963 or c:\program files\trend control systems\962.
2.17 Transfer the Licence to a Different Location
If you want to use your 963 licence to run 963 in a different location e.g. on a different PC, or in a different
directory, it is necessary to transfer the licence to that location.
To transfer the licence:
1. Install 963 in the new location as described in the 'Install the 963 Software' section of these instructions.
2. Run 963 in the new location.
3. Log in as someone with a PIN level of 99.
4. Press F1 to display the Information Centre.
5. Click
