• An OMRON Network Service Board 1-4 Copy Protection CX-Supervisor is copy protected to prevent illegal use. During installation a valid License Number must be entered. The CX-Supervisor Runtime environment has additional protection and if the protection is not installed certain features are inaccessible. To gain access to these features the USB protection must be installed. 1-4-1 Copy Protection using a USB Dongle The Runtime copy protection method uses a "Dongle" which is plugged into a USB port. When CX-Supervisor is run the port is checked for a valid dongle and the program fails if it is not present.
1-4-1-1 Fitting a CX-Supervisor USB Dongle Simply connect the dongle to any spare USB port of the computer noting any instructions supplied. If there are no spare sockets a "USB Hub" device may be used to add extra sockets. Once fitted, Windows will automatically detect the new hardware and the power light on the USB Dongle will illuminate. 7
