Installing the eToken softwareAssuming you are running 32-bit Vista, locate the file: PKIClient-x32-4.5_signed.msi and double-click on it. This file will be on the CD sent to you by EUMETSAT.
Select your language, and accept the licence agreement. This time, I left the default installation location:
Close down the PC, insert the eToken into a free USB slot, and
reboot. It seems that under some versions of Vista, you may get a dialog

Start the Dexatek software, and press the IP button to start the IP services. If all is working well, you should be able to use the HTML shell of the TelliCast software and see some active channels! You can now edit the recv.ini file with your user information, and the recv-channels.ini file to suite the data you wish to receive. Note that on a freshly installed Windows Vista system, you may need to visit www.java.com to get Java which is required for the overview graphical throughput display.

If you have a local area network, you can also access your receiver PC across the LAN and hence check on the status of the TelliCast software remotely. Enter the address in the browser as: http://receiver-PC:2517 When you first open the HTML Shell, you should get a screen display like this. The throughput graph will scroll from right to left, so that you can see in the graph below I allowed the page to run for about ten seconds before taking the screenshot.
You can then click on the Active Channels option in the left menu, and you should see the TSL Announcement Channel, and some others, being active.

the Taskbar area. You can right-click that icon to access the eToken
properties menu, to check that the eToken is working correctly.
