blank How do I install and configure Beilstein for Windows?
  1. Note: You will need the following information to successfully complete this installation:

    TCP/IP Address or Name of your CrossFire Server:  Beilstein.library.wisc.edu
    License Group Name:  Ohiostat
    User ID:  ostgm
    Password:  h82-awy5

  2. Download the self-extracting file bc2000xf-winset.exe to a temporary directory on your hard drive. Launching this file creates a directory "bc2000xf-set" in the defined target directory (the default is in your Windows TEMP directory).

  3. Run the setup.exe file located in directory "bc2000xf-set" and follow the prompts.

  4. Autonom Standard is included in the Beilstein Commander 2000, version 5.0 installation.

  5. You will be prompted for a destination directory in which to install Commander. You may choose the default (C:\Program Files\Bc2000) or a user-defined directory.

  6. The installer will uninstall any previous versions of Commander on your system before continuing with installation of the current version.

  7. You will now be prompted for the Program folder. Choose the default.

  8. You will be prompted for the TCP/IP address or name of your CrossFire server. Enter "Beilstein.library.wisc.edu" (minus the quotes).

  9. Next you will be prompted for the license group name to which you belong. Enter "Ohiostat" in both boxes.

  10. The last screen before the actual copying of files will confirm your choices.

  11. After the files are copied, click on the "Finish" button.

  12. After program installation is complete, launch Beilstein Commander 2000 and click on the CrossFire button (2 crossed red arrows) to initiate a connection. To continue first-time program setup, you need to enter the userid and password for your university. For OSU, those are "ostgm" & "h82-awy5", respectively - all in lowercase. If you don't want to be prompted for the user id and password each time you use Commander, check the "save userid and password" box.

  13. After all the above steps are completed, a default profile set up with appropriate settings, and so forth, you may want to set Beilstein Commander up such that when you start the program, a connection is automatically made to the server. To do this, from the main menubar in Beilstein Commander, choose /Options/Startup Tasks..., then select the "CrossFire" radio button, and hit OK.
