Terminal emulation configuration utilities are required only for advanced functions like AirLoader, keyboard remapping and screen remapping, though they can be used for less advanced configuration activities. Once downloaded, unzip with folder names to a Windows-32 PC, and into a folder (C:\TWINCLIENT or C:\PROGRAM FILES\TWINCLIENT). Run setup.exe to install. Very rarely, an XCOPY32 window opens and asks "Does xxx.yyy specify a file name or directory name on the target (F = file, D = directory?", press the F key. Then, if necessary, move cp30fw.dll to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder on your PC.
First, you might want to download the detailed PowerNet TwinClient configurator software manual
