RAVENNA users will have to install the NET-MSC-GBEX1 PCIe Ethernet card provided by Merging Technologies. TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF (shut down then switch the power off). Next plug the NET-MSC-GBEX1 card into one of the PCI-Express bus slots on your computer and turn the power back on. The NET-MSC-GBEX1 card will only be operational once the MassCore runtime is installed. Refer to the Ovation Installation Guide for more details.

  • To install the Ovation software insert the Ovation Installation Media - the installation program should auto-start.

  • To install MassCore launch the MT Security Settings, go to the MassCore page and install the MassCore RunTime (a MassCore base key is required along with MassCore 64bit and a RTX64 3.0 key). Refer to installation guide for more details.

Warning: Make sure that the Windows 10 version you are installing onto is supported by Ovation, as often updates can break the compatibility.
All details in the separate Ovation installation guide.
