Installing FaceToFace on the PAC Mate

2. Insert the FaceToFace CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
3. On your computer, open the Start menu, select the Run command, and enter D:\FaceToFaceSetupABC.EXE, where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive, and ABC is the FaceToFace release and version number, to start the FaceToFace software installation.
4. The FaceToFace installation dialog box appears. Select the Next button.
5. The License Agreement dialog box appears. Select the "I accept the terms in the license agreement" radio button, and choose the Finish button to begin installation.
6. Do the following depending on your version of PAC Mate:
   • If you are installing on a PAC Mate running version 4.1 or earlier, choose Yes to install the FaceToFace application into the default directory. Once FaceToFace is downloaded to the PAC Mate, select OK to close the installation dialog box on the computer.
   • If you are installing on a PAC Mate Omni, the software is automatically installed to the appropriate directory. Once The FaceToFace software is downloaded to the PAC Mate, select OK to close the installation dialog box on the PC. After a few more seconds, the PAC Mate will display a message stating that FaceToFace was successfully installed.
7. The software now appears on the PAC Mate. From the Start menu, select Programs and choose FaceToFace.
   You must now start and configure FaceToFace to operate correctly on the PAC Mate. This is described in the “Configuring FaceToFace for the First Time on the PAC Mate section.

Configuring FaceToFace for the First Time on the PAC Mate

When you start FaceToFace for the first time on the PAC Mate, you must do the following:

• Enter an authorization number
• Enter a name that identifies the PAC Mate to all FaceToFace users.
• Determine if you want to configure a PAC Mate keyboard sequence to serve as a hot button for the FaceToFace application, which allows you to quickly launch the application.
• Set the COM port.

The following describes how to complete these tasks.

1. To start FaceToFace on the PAC Mate, choose the Start menu, select Programs, and choose FaceToFace.
2. When opened for the first time, you must enter an authorization number for the application, which you previously received in an email when you requested an Authorization number from the PMActivate.com site. The number is case-sensitive. When prompted, enter the authorization number, and press ENTER (DOT 8) on OK.

3. Next, enter a user name for the PAC Mate and press ENTER (DOT 8), or the CLOSE button (ESC) (F1) if using a PAC Mate Omni, after typing a name.
   This identifier will appear before each message typed on the PAC Mate. The user name can be up to 16-characters long. An identifier that is unique and short is recommended, for example, "Joe’s PM."
4. Next, determine if you want to enable a keyboard sequence on the PAC Mate to automatically launch the FaceToFace application. By assigning a keyboard sequence, you can quickly launch FaceToFace without having to use the traditional program menu sequence from the Today screen.

Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to configure a PAC Mate keyboard sequence for FaceToFace.

Next, the FaceToFace application opens on the PAC Mate, and the following message appears: Client mode: Attempting connection....

5. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu and select Tools then Options.
6. Press CTRL+TAB (DOTS 5-6 CHORD) to move to the Port Settings page.
7. In the Client combo box, select the COM port number that matches the outgoing port you added when you established the Bluetooth partnership. In the Server combo box, set the port to COM9.
8. Press the CLOSE button (ESC) (F1) to close the Options dialog box and if FaceToFace Desktop is running and has been correctly configured, the connection should be established.
