7) If you intend to use one of the KEPServerEX Vertical Suites, which offer drivers and plug-ins bundled for one low price, select the requested suite in the drop-down menu. In the next dialog, the suite's components will automatically be preselected for installation.

8) In the Select Features dialog, expand the component tree and select the requested components:

  • Drivers (e.g. Siemens TCP/IP Ethernet and Omron HostLink) and Driver Suites (e.g. Siemens Suite and Allen-Bradley Suite)
  • Client interfaces (Apart from OPC standards, these are all available – DDE, OPC .NET, Wonderware SuiteLink and Fast DDE.)
  • Plug-ins (Advanced Tags, Alarms and Events, Connection Sharing, DataLogger, EFM Exporter, Media Level Redundancy, Oracle MES/MOC Connector, Security Policies and SNMP Agent)
  • The hardware key utility (to register your KEPServerEX using the hardware key)
  • OPC Quick Client for checking if read operations by KEPServerEX are being performed correctly
  • Examples and documentation

The drop-down menu next to each feature and subfeature offers three options. Select "Will be installed on local hard drive" if you want to install a particular feature or subfeature only. To install a feature and its subfeatures, select "Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive". By selecting "Entire feature will be unavailable" for a particular feature, that feature will not be installed.
