Before you begin
You should run the CSA on a separate computer from other SwitchKit modules and call control applications. Excel recommends separating critical real-time processes from graphical display environments.
Important! It might be necessary to reboot your machine after the installation.
Follow the installation steps below to install the CSA.
1 Log on to your target machine with an administrative account.
2 If you have the SwitchSight Administrator (SSA) or an older version of the CSA on your system, you should remove them from your system. Use the Add®Remove Programs feature in the Windows Control Panel to remove the program.

4 Insert the SwitchKit Installation CD.
