Before you install the Tuner, be sure your computer has the following:
For the quickest and smoothest Tuner installation, gather the following information before you begin:
Before you begin installation:
Installing the Tuner creates two folders containing a number of subordinate files and folders.
Marimba
.
You can direct the installer to name it and locate it as you wish;
however, accepting the default name is a good idea. That's because
all Marimba programs should be installed in the same progam
folder, and all of their installers recommend Marimba
as the default program folder name. If you install another Marimba
program, you won't have to remember the name of the program
folder.
\Windows
or
\WinNT
, but you can direct the installer to put it
where you like.
If the program and channel folder exist, the Tuner installer uses the existing folders, and does not disturb non-Tuner files (such as Transmitter files) in them.
Tuner installation also adds a shortcut for the Tuner program, called Castanet Tuner, to the Windows Start>Programs menu.
Tuner1_0b3.EXE
that you
downloaded from www.marimba.com or another source.
Note: your file may have a slightly different name; in particular, the "b3" might be "b4" or might be absent.
An InstallShield dialog appears asking if you want to continue.
In a moment a Welcome page appears.
A dialog advising you to quit any running Marimba programs appears. If any Marimba programs are running (a satellite dish near the Windows taskbar clock indicates a running Tuner), abandon the install now, quit the program(s), and begin the install sequence again. The install will fail if Marimba programs are running.
A license agreement appears.
The Choose Destination Location dialog appears showing you the
default program folder location and name, typically
C:\Marimba
. If you want to install in a different
directory, or want to name the program folder other than the
recommended Marimba
, click Browse..., then choose the
directory.
The Enter Channel Directory dialog appears, showing the default folder in which the channel folder will be created.
A Setup dialog appears, showing you the progression of the installation.
A Question dialog appears, asking if you would like the Tuner to start automatically when you reboot.
A Question dialog appears asking if you would like to run the Tuner to finish the installation now.
When you run the Tuner for the first time, it prompts you for configuration information by presenting a series of dialogs for you to fill in. If you've configured an older version of the Tuner, that information is presented in the dialogs to save you a little typing. You can change configuration settings later by clicking the Tuner's Configure tab.
When an unconfigured Tuner starts, it displays a Castanet Tuner dialog.
(Clicking Help in any configuration dialog will bring up a Web page explanation of the dialog.)
A User Information Dialog appears.
An Internet Connection dialog appears.
The Tuner needs to know how your computer connects to the Internet.
Direct Connection: Select this if your computer is wired to the Internet.
Modem Connection: Select this if you use a modem to connect to the Internet. Select your Internet Service Provider network connection from the dropdown list.
An HTTP Proxy Configuration dialog appears.
A Marimba Proxy Configuration dialog appears.
A Tuner Update dialog appears.
The Tuner is a channel and can therefore update itself. This dialog gives you the opportunity to update the Tuner you downloaded (perhaps some time ago). You can do this now or not, and you can do it whenever you like later.
A progress bar appears showing progress.
An Update Complete dialog appears.
A Finished Tuner Update dialog appears.
Configuration is complete; the Tuner user interface appears.
Remember, to change the configuration data you have entered above, click the Tuner's Configure tab.
