Install Required Device Drivers

Before installing Zetta for the first time on a new PC, ensure the latest device drivers are installed for the following components:

Audio Device Drivers/Software – Obtain the latest approved drivers and software from the vendor for the audio solution used. To obtain a list of supported and approved audio devices and drivers, contact RCS Support. If Windows 10 or higher is used, ensure Zetta has access to the Microphone for recording. Go to Setting | Privacy | Microphone and set the Allow apps to access your Microphone to On.

Video Device Drivers/Software – In addition to the latest audio drivers, it is important to have the latest stable drivers and software installed for the video solution used. Contact the vendor or manufacturer of the video device for the latest software and drivers.

Network Adapter Drivers/Software – Having current Network Adapter drivers will help to prevent any connectivity issues due to corrupt or outdated network device drivers. Contact the vendor or manufacturer of the network adapter for the latest driver.

 

Configuring Windows to Run Zetta

Zetta will run with User Account Control on or off. If user account control is turned on additional security prompts may be displayed upon installation of the software. In a network environment, Network Discovery and File Sharing will need to be enabled on Windows 7 and Windows 8 to allow the computers to communicate with each other. Contact the system administrator for assistance.

If running a Windows Server environment Zetta requires Desktop Experience and Media Foundation windows features be installed.

 

Firewall Settings

The following are the ports used by Zetta and the Services that use these ports. Most of these ports are automatically opened on the firewall of the computer when Zetta is installed, however they may need to be opened on the Internet firewall for the site if the services are used.

Running Zetta with non-administrator account

Zetta runs the following commands during the installation to allow Zetta to run under a non-administrator account. If the netsh.exe is blocked or disabled, it will need to be enabled for these commands to run.

Command to register the web service address we use to talk to GSelector, UAC requires this command:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:3131/Zetta user=Users

Command to register the status feed address:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:3132/StatusFeed user=Users

Command to register ZCast address:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://{computername}:3135/ user=Users

Command to register Zetta api http address:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:3136/ user=Users

Command to register Zetta api tcp address:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:3137/ user=Users

Command to register Zetta GS integration api tcp address:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:3138/ user=Users

 

Automatic Updates in Windows

While RCS in general recommends keeping the operating system up-to-date with the latest updates from Microsoft, we also want to ensure these updates are not downloaded and installed uncontrollably. Therefore, RCS recommends disabling automatic updates for Windows. Having a system set to automatically update and reboot could take a station of the air. Windows Updates and reboots should be handled manually on Zetta computers for best results. If the computer is on a Domain contact the system Administrator for assistance. The Windows Update Settings for Windows 7 and 8.1 can be changed in the Changes Settings window of the Windows Update Control Panel.

In Windows 10 there is not a Windows Update Control Panel. Therefore the Configuration of Automatic updates will need to be done in the Domain or Local Group Policy Editor. If the computer is on a Domain contact the system Administrator for assistance. If the computer is not on a domain, right-click the Start button and select Run from the resulting menu. Enter gpedit.msc into the Run command and press enter to open the Local Group Policy Editor.

In the left pane navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update then in the right pane locate Configure Automatic Updates and double-click it. Set it to Enabled and then select the preferred setting in the options pane on the left. In the right pane of the Configure Automatic Updates window is some Help information for each setting. RCS recommends option 2 – Notify for download and notify for install.

Once Zetta is installed, always take a Backup of Zetta before installing windows updates.

 

Installing Windows Components for Zetta2GO

Windows IIS will be enabled with the Zetta Installation package, when Zetta2GO or GSelector Integration is selected, if not previously installed. Contact the site system administrator for assistance.

To enable Internet Information Services (IIS), WCF and ASP.NET, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel | Programs and Features
  2. In the left pane, click Turn Windows features on or off
  3. Under .NET Framework 4.5 Advanced Services enabled expand the WCF Services
  4. Enable TCP Port Sharing
  5. Under Internet Information Services select all items in the following illustration. 
  6. Under World Wide Web Services enable all items in the above illustration.
  7. Click OK
  8. Install windows updates.
